Pros: Compact, quiet, has an internal power supply (no nasty brick to deal with), easy to setup, LOTS of hardware upgrade potential (shouldn't need to be replaced for quite some time).

Cons: - Seems like it runs a little hot (4 drives, and the system temp is reporting as over 100*, but "OK") - Not really a con, but the "find the NAS to setup via the code on the sticker" didn't work for me and I had to download the desktop app to find it locally. - Not really a con, but there's a handful of default folders / shares that don't seem to be able to be removed / deleted / hidden.

Overall Review: - Much better hardware (on paper) than the "S" competitor (such has having 2 internal M.2 slots and 2 PCIe expansion slots as standard) - Set the resync priority from "Default" to "Resync First" which shaved off about 1 day, but did make the system SLOW (as was warned). For the initial setup / the fact it wasn't in use yet, not a big deal - but I'll probably be putting that back to "Default" once I've got it up and running.

Pros: -Small footprint - Two HDD bays - Two 5.25" external drive bays (or one 5.25" and one 3.5" with included adapter)

Cons: - It "can" use a standard ATX PSU, but doing so will result in the loss of one, if not both, of the external drive bays. I don't even have an over-sized / overkill PSU... - Putting any "normal" sized GPU in the first PCI-x slot on your mobo will more or less stop you from using the HDD bays... A short GPU (one that doesn't extend past the PCI-x slot...) will fix this. So would putting the GPU in your motherboard's 2nd PCI-x slot...

Overall Review: Not the case for me and my setup... IF you don't care about using the external drive bays (OR if you happen to have a super short PSU) and IF you're running a short GPU (OR using the 2nd PCI-x slot OR using on-board graphics), then the case seems pretty decent for the price.

Pros: - Easy to build in with an ATX motherboard - 3 fans included (wish they were 4-pin though...) - Front fans blow directly over the video card

Cons: - My front USB ports were VERY hard to insert a couple particular thumb drives. Had to really fight to get them inserted. Thought I was going to break the ports and / or the drives... - A *little* more space (depth) behind the motherboard to route cables would have been nice - Needs a cable routing hole at the bottom rear of the motherboard for front USB / front panel audio cables

Overall Review: - Wish there was a bottom / PSU cover to help hide cables - Offer the same case without the front 3.5" drives, and reducing the front to back dimension? (I was debating between the 450D and a S340, because it didn't have front 3.5" and was a little bit smaller, but was worried about the restrictive air flow through the front of the S340).

Pros: - Quality is amazing, and much better (sadly) then the cables that came with the EVGA power supply in the first place. - Red color looks sharp

Cons: - Routing the CPU 8-pin and the motherboard 24-pin cables in the back of a case is a little tricky (for good cable management) due to the fact that each cable *is* separate. This makes it harder to keep everything right where you want it. Maybe they could have sleeved the middle section of these 2 cable types to make things a little easier... - Wish the price wasn't as high, especially since 90% of the cables aren't being used in my build (only using a CPU 8-pin, a motherboard 24-pin, and a single 8-pin + 6-pin VGA)

Pros: - Layout is good - 6 Intel SATA 6G ports - Audio seems to be better than on my previous 1155 Asus board (I used to have a speaker hum with the old board, but it's non-existent now)

Cons: - Yes, it has 2 PCIe x16 slots, but you're going to be asking for trouble if you use 2 double-wide cards for xFire or SLI (if you could even get them to fit - haven't tried / it's not an issue for me since I don't plan on running 2 cards)

Overall Review: - M.2 SSD's aren't available (yet) for the riser card - Antenna cable isn't included if you wanted to use a mPCIe wireless card - Only 3 case fan headers

Pros: 32GB in a quad-channel kit

Cons: Not really a "con," but the BIOS didn't read the speed of the memory correctly on its own / had to set it to 1600
