Most Favorable Review

not bad for the price

XION Solaris XON-403 Black with Green LED Light Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
XION Solaris XON-403 Black with Green LED Light Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: It's a cheap case that gets the job done.

Cons: This is far from a perfect case. If you put a fan in the front spot you may have trouble putting hard drives in. I can only get one drive in because my motherboard's SATA and ATA interfaces are in the way. Getting drives in the upper slots can be a pain, but I was able to get mine in all the slots.

Overall Review: I'm satisfied with what I got for the money.

Most Critical Review

Not worth it!

SilenX IXP-64-14B 92mm Blue LED Case Fan
SilenX IXP-64-14B 92mm Blue LED Case Fan

Pros: high air flow

Cons: I bought the green one and it's not even close to being silent. Makes a noticable hum I can hear as soon as I walk in the room. Not quite as loud as my stock heat sink fan, but it's pretty bad. I bought a couple cooler master fans, 2 for less than this fan, and they are much quiter than this piece.

Overall Review: They DB ratings need to be regulated better for fans

Great Burner

SAMSUNG 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 16X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black PATA Model SH-S202N LightScribe Support
SAMSUNG 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 16X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black PATA Model SH-S202N LightScribe Support

Pros: It does what its susposed to do. I've burnt around 20 lightscribe labels and they all came out great. I have made about 150 CDs and DVDs without a single bad one.

Cons: Nothing so far.

Overall Review: The other reviews make this seem like a horrible drive, but it has worked just fine for me. It burns DVDs as quick I would expect from a PATA drive, usually around 10min for the data and 25min for a lightscribe label. Overall I think it is a great drive.
