Pros: Works flawlessly with SuperMicro branded boards, very convenient connectors built to work together. You can also use non-supermicro boards but you have to try a little harder to plug in front panel connectors - no big deal. Solid, sturdy, robust and quiet. I own two of these, going back for a 3rd soon.

Cons: The built in power supply is only 300W, so don't expect to use this for a high-end workstation without upgrading the PSU first. For my next purchase of this case though, 300W is just fine, so I look forward to using it. I'm sure it's a solid PSU.

Overall Review: Good air flow, heat dissipation, typically easy to assemble. It can get a little cramped on the inside, so beware of the order you try to set things up.

Pros: I should start by saying I did not use this device because I couldn't use it. The Icy Dock website (incorrectly) lists this raid cage under their SAS/SATA heading. THIS IS NOT A SAS ENCLOSURE, DO NOT BUY IT FOR SAS DRIVES. This is specifically a SATA-only raid cage. It might be a very good one, it might be one of the best, but again, this device was improperly listed on the Icy Dock site and I could not use it for my purposes.

Cons: Not a SAS enclosure, which I confirmed with the Icy Dock support staff even though it is listed on the "SAS/SATA" part of their site

Overall Review: Check reviews and verify with Icy Dock before purchasing.

Pros: Solid Construction, Good hinges on the bay-doors. Decent construction provided it doesn't see too much field-action. The steel thickness leaves a little to be desired, but it's still a sturdy case. The drive bays fully detach and lift out, for VERY easy drive installation. The power supply has plenty of clearance. You CAN use larger ATX boards in this case, but I imagine things could get cramped pretty quickly. This case is not as deep as I thought it was, but in my situation that's ok. I think this is a very comfortable fit for longer 5.25 drives and an M-ATX board.

Cons: The steel is just a little thin. Some of the machine work done to fabricate the case resulted in some sharper edges (most edges aren't folded over for safety, so work and cable-manage with mild caution) No real regrets though

Overall Review: The exposed front of the drive bays aren't really precisely machined. When you install drives, you get little gaps on either side. Not a show stopper...and might actually improve airflow, but clearly not intentionally.

Pros: Appears to be exactly as advertised and then some. This whole enclosure is assembled using philips-head screws, making for very easy fan replacement/maintenance. The circuit boards in the unit are very clean and internal connectors are solid. The SAS ports look good and the board revision on my backplane is V1.2 which I believe should handle 6Gb/s just fine. I'll post more when I get my SAS drives to test it with.

Cons: My only complaint is the lack of documentation, and inconsistent parts. One box came with screws, one didn't (that I can tell) and neither came with any kind of manual. Not a deal breaker, but still strange.

Overall Review: I have very high hopes for these cages, they look great. The metal parts aren't super-precision, but they fit well enough and look like they'll have no problem being fully populated with drives.

Pros: I stand by Corsair, especially in their power supplies. These things are rock solid, and the ONLY time I've seen one fail is when I spilled a beer on it.

Cons: None, performs as advertised.

Overall Review: If I need a strong power supply, I go right to Corsair now.

Pros: Under some of the harshest tests I could throw at it, it never broke 32C. This chip is fast, and one of real benefits for me is that it only has 4 cores. For running a few single-threaded apps, it speeds things up a lot. I've got another processor with 6 cores and 4 of them are idle most of the time. Comes with a stock heatsink which I should mention I've never used, I created a custom solution which is half of how it stays so cool.

Cons: Can only be used in Single-CPU configurations. I'd love to have a dual or quad system based on these, but intel wants to charge a lot more for chips that can do that.

Overall Review: Strongly considering buying more of these just for odd jobs.
