Pros: - Low price - Minimal front panel ports are good for older motherboards - One of the few cases still available with two 3.5" drive bays accessible via the front panel

Cons: - Flimsy metal bends if you put a little pressure on it - Really odd assortment of screws included

Overall Review: I quite like this case. It's a decent value, although if you read the other reviews, it apparently used to be cheaper (wish I'd needed it back then). Just be careful when you're installing your hardware and it should work out fine. I bought it for an "older" build specifically because of the simplicity of the front panel ports and the fact that the front panel has two accessible 3.5" drive bays (I'm only using one of them right now, but it's a floppy-oriented machine so there's no telling when I might decide to use the second one as well). It fits the components I have really well, except that my motherboard has a single USB header and no audio header (yes, it's too old for an on-board sound card), so I had to do the best I could with what I had and re-wire the AC'97 connector for my AWE64. What would be even better is if it had the serial/parallel cutouts so you could use the IDC port cables that typically came with the oldest ATX-style motherboards without taking up an expansion card slot, but unfortunately it does not. The front panel honestly doesn't look *nearly* as cheap as it does in the photos. I wouldn't hesitate to use this case in an office environment if I had the need. It looks better than the Dell machines currently in use where I work. The back panel, however is completely different from the picture. The power supply mounts in the same place, but the I/O shield area is smaller, and it does not have provisions for screws as shown in the photo. The I/O shield shown in the photo is also not included with the case, but since those will seldom match up with your motherboard anyway, that's not really a loss. It looks like the modifications to the rear panel design were made so that it could accommodate a larger fan, but I can't say for sure whether that was the intention. My only real complaint about this case (I don't really even care about the flimsy metal) is the odd assortment of screws included. It's as if whomever was given the task of bagging the screws doesn't know how to count and just said, "Eh, I'll throw in a handful of this kind, and a handful of this kind, and a handful of standoffs, and just two of this other kind that don't match any of the others so they'll really wonder what the hell to do with them." I mean, there were enough screws in there that I could install everything, but I definitely had to mix and match between the different screw head designs.

Pros: First of all, I like the design. The front isn't really as 'metallic' as it appears in the photo, but it's a good-looking case. it also fits all my components well while staying sufficiently compact.

Cons: It's got really lightweight, thin metal and can cut you if you're not careful. I've sliced my finger trying to get a stubborn PCI card out of the case. Also, the front USB ports are awful. The only things that work in them are flash drives. Anything with a cable will need to be plugged into the motherboard directly. If I can find some better cables to put inside the case, I might try that.

Overall Review: It's not a bad case, but I still think it could be better for the price, especially regarding the quality of the front USB ports and the cabling that goes to them.

Pros: -High contrast ratio -Energy efficient -Lots of menu options

Cons: -Poor viewing angles -Awkward button placement -Confusing adjustment of some settings

Overall Review: I just bought one of these from Staples for, oddly enough, the same price as here on NewEgg. I've been less than impressed. I suppose it's not really a bad monitor, but it has some annoying things about it that will lead me to return it tomorrow. My number one problem is the viewing angle. It's so much worse than my old ProView monitor that was made in '07. It's not just the uneven brightness that gets me (practically every LCD monitor has uneven brightness), it's that the farther off center you look on the screen, the more yellow and dingy the colors look. I mean, that happens with any LCD monitor if you view it at a severe enough angle, but with this monitor I can see the effect just being seated with my head dead center a couple of feet away from the monitor. The corners, especially the upper ones, appear noticeably more yellow than the rest of the screen at a normal viewing distance. Aside from that, it has some confusing menu options and it seemed to put some odd outlines around text on the screen (especially text with a grey background). I was able to get around the weird outlines on text by turning on a 'bright window' and setting it to fill the entire screen, but doing so made a lot of the other picture control options ineffective. So all in all, I'm not very satisfied with this monitor. I can see how some people might be willing to put up with it, but I suppose I'm just a little too OCD to deal with it and would rather try to squeeze a little more life out of my aging ProView than deal with this monitor for more than a day. Back to Staples it shall go!
