Pros: I bought this case 2.4 years ago - wow! I put an i5 in it and the beefiest graphics card that would fit in the slot at the time (Radeon HD 5770). After all this time I can safely say that I would definitely buy this one again. I have built many HTPCs over the years and this has been my favorite case. The cooling in it is excellent. My build has plenty of computing horsepower but it never gets too hot, and the interior stays pretty clean. Because of the efficient cooling and 300 watt power supply, you can build a rig that will play some pretty intensive games that many HTPCs or laptops would choke on. Yet, it's very small - about the size of a shoe box if a shoe box were square. It's very good looking, and the overall build quality is satisfactory. Just looking at it, you would think it would cost more than it really does.

Cons: There is only one complaint - the power supply isn't the highest quality. It doesn't weigh much, looks cheap, and I've read that some people have had them burn out. I knew that when I bought it and decided that since the price of the case was so reasonable, I could afford to replace it with a higher quality one down the road. So far my power supply is still kicking, but its fan did die about 9 months ago. Replacing the fan was easy and cheap. If it came with a high quality power supply, (even if the price went up a bit), I would have given it one more star.

Overall Review: Next time I build an HTPC, I'll probably use this case.

Pros: Maybe it works with other usb things?

Cons: I connected this to an Oculus Rift 3rd sensor both with and without a Foscam Power Supply, 5V DC-in 2A 3.5 x 1.35mm (center positive) AC Adapter Wall Charger. Without the power supply, nothing is detected by the PC at all. With the power supply plugged in, the Oculus software says "Poor tracking quality -8609". With the sensor connected directly to the PC (not using the 10m Tripp Lite USB 3.0 cable) everything works perfectly fine. What this tells us is that the Tripp Lite USB 3.0 active extension cable IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE RIFT SENSOR, and also that it may not be compatible with other USB 3.0 compliant devices either. Now my wallet is $68 lighter and I have nothing to show for it. So.... IF YOU WANT TO USE THIS FOR AN OCULUS RIFT SENSOR.... let me save you some time and money... don't buy this!

Overall Review: I would not recommend this to other people, and I would not purchase it again.

Pros: it supports both esata and usb 3.0

Cons: i tried to put a popular intel 520 SSD into it and it took almost an hour just to get it to fit. i had to put it in at exactly the right angle and apply a lot of tension to get the lid to re-close. it would have been MUCH easier to just use a screw system instead of this "hot-swap" idea. i don't know if it's just a problem with the intel 520 SSD, or if the orico case i received was just out of tolerance. i know the intel 520 is 9.5mm, which should be supported by the Orico according to the documentation. i tried testing with a different laptop spinning drive and that one did fit in easier. i dread having to swap that 520 drive again! Also, now that the SSD is in there, i can hear it flapping around when i tip it over. on one end it's being held in by the SATA/Power connector, but there is nothing to stabilize it on the other end. I will probably end up stuffing some foam in it to keep the drive from flopping around.

Pros: the usb3 works well.

Cons: the esata chip is flakey. looking at all the other reviews, i see that the problem is pretty widespread. it worked at first, but it started disconnecting more and more often until it's at the point now where computers won't recognize it in esata mode at all. i've tested it with several computers, and two different esata cables so i'm sure it's the case's fault. and since it works with usb3, it can't be my SSD.

Overall Review: it's too bad they used a poorly engineered esata chip - everything else on enclosure is pretty nice.

Pros: it's a good card while it works

Cons: I bought one in 2009 and in 2011 it began freezing and producing a busy pattern on the screen. I began reading and a lot of guys had this problem and ended up "baking" the card in the oven to reflow the solder - yikes! I RMA'd it, which worked for a while, but now it started happening again and they're saying that because I didn't register in the first 30 days the warranty doesn't apply. Lame! I've always kept a very clean computer in a AC cooled room. We have about 30 of these GTX 280s at work and almost half had started doing this after a year. Clearly there is a defect in the solder/heating of this card. In my opinion, EVGA's warranty policy sucks. I won't be buying any EVGA motherboards or graphics cards anymore. Nor will my workplace which spends tens of thousands of dollars on motherboards/graphics cards each year.

Pros: It's reliable - I owned one for 8+ years before the backlight finally went out That's pretty good for an LCD with a CCFL backlight. It's been very dependable. I would definitely buy a viewsonic monitor again.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Lasts way longer than those unreliable gateway/acer lcds.
