On a HAF 922
Pros: Looks awesome, perfect size, really adds to my 922.
Cons: Plastic is kinda thin but it's not like it's supposed to be bulletproof
Overall Review: Great purchase!
Good until it stopped working
Pros: Great design, it seems to be genuine dualshock
Overall Review: Stopped working via bluetooth less than three months in. Left stick started drifting around the same time, and is sticky in the middle.
Frank's Wrong!
Pros: Awesome airflow, huge for a mid ATX, awesome cable management, button driven 5.25 bays, silencing rubber bits on the HDD bays, HDD trays, water cooling ports out the back. I have a Storm Sniper windowed side panel on mine and it looks wicked. I love this case.
Cons: I really wish it had the clips for the pci slot covers like the 932. Also the metal interior is a bit tacky but you can't have it all without spending all the money, right?
Overall Review: In response to Franks review, change all of the 140mms in his review to 120s! I don't think there's anywhere on the 922 that will fit 140s... Anyway, would recommend this case to anybody anywhere. It's big, beautiful and cold.
Terrible experience
Pros: Looks very very nice Lots of USB ports Little LCD screen shows temps
Cons: Little LCD screen shows error codes that aren't listed in the manual Refused to update its own BIOS Really really didn't like to boot Sometimes took upwards of five minutes to boot using an SSD Messed up my JMicron controller Broke my HDD Broke my windows Refuses to OC well... I installed this board as a supposedly better substitute for a now discontinued MSI H57m-ED65. With the MIR I figured what the hell why not. I had a buyer for the MSI board and I was actually making money buying the EVGA. I got it home, put everything into my case and followed the instructs perfectly. First boot, nothing at all. Second boot, error codes changing between one that exists in the manual and another that doesn't. Third boot, Windows takes ages to start. As soon as I hit windows I check my computer to make sure all of the drives are connected. My storage drive (a 1 tera F3) immediately started making a loud click every ten or so seconds. I ignored that and went about my day.
Overall Review: After many other hiccups, I decided to re install my old board and return this one. I plugged in my old MSI board and Windows tells me that BOOTMGR is missing... great. So after a full reinstall of Windows, I notice my 1TB drive is completely non existant. It's now dead. Thanks EVGA... Gave 2 eggs in case my board was just a huge dud of some sort but I'm definitely never buying EVGA again.

Great orange cathodes...
Pros: Bright, seperable which makes it easier to light all angles. On/off switch is exactly as needed
Cons: ORANGE. My set at least is not red at all. It still looks neat but my 200mm megaflow real red LEDs are kinda taken over by these
Overall Review: Good if youre going for orange!
