greatdrive, only one minor problem
Pros: very compact and sturdy design, even though it is cheap plastic, it holds up well. Swivel design means no lost caps.
Cons: Only con I can find is that the body of the drive is too wide to fit some drives, compared to others I have owned. Will not fit the front port of Enlight cases or on some Dell dimension cases with the flip up front face.
Overall Review: Would recommend to mostly anyone, Beware doesnt fit Dell Dimension with flip up front bezel and angular usb / sound port.
Mad Tech
Pros: We have purchased 12 of these, 4 are still working after a year so I guess that could be a pro since they aren't all bad.
Cons: HP put out a lemon here and they know it. The formater board goes bad and starts turning on the jam light or the toner light when there is nothing jamed or wrong with the toner. When you run the engine test it prints just fine. DON'T EVEN think about buying this printer. BTW I am a service tech and specialize in repairing HP & Lexmark printers.
Incomplete box contents
Pros: Layout is good, everything is clearly marked.
Cons: Out of about a dozen supermicro server builds this is the 2nd time the box did not have a manual or driver disk which cost time having to download. Wanted to do raid 1 mirror but every time drives selected for mirror the dvd drive disappeared, never did get it working but no time to RMA. No this is not my first raid rodeo.
Overall Review: I used 2 Kingston 8gb kits KVR1333D3E9SK2/8G ECC Unbuffered memory works great.
Okay..But
Pros: Just built 5 systems with this case have 10 more to go. The base price is good, attractive case, all the mobo cables are long enough, the back case fan is in a recessed area which clears up room for mobo access.
Cons: On one (of 5) the standoff holes were not tapped, on another the whole case was warped no visable shipping damage was able to straighten it out with careful hammer hits. It's a nit but there is no standoff hole on the corner for a normal micro atx board.
Overall Review: The price is good but if you are buying several cases the shipping will kill you, I have 10 more to go so I'll have to look around, Sorry NewEgg.
