Pros: the case looks good; it is simple and understated; does not look like an alien spacecraft. everything fit just fine, including gtx260 (but barely). the case is sitting next to my bed but is so quiet, i sleep with it on. keeps everything cool
Cons: the "core fan system" makes installation a pain. I have to take it out everytime i want to switch out components or even plug in a fan.
Overall Review: i can easily overlook the core fan bridge disadvantage because it keeps my system cool and quiet. plus its cool bc no one else has fans in the middle of their case!
Pros: quiet; good price
Cons: would not boot initially. hard drive was causing the post to hang on "verifying dmi pool data." after a weekend of troubleshooting, finally just disabled the drive to get it to boot into windows setup and did a long format; then it booted just fine. will not be buying another samsung hdd anytime soon
Overall Review: for others with this problem, disable the "extended ide" for the hdd in bios and then windows setup can boot and format. if that doesnt work, try booting to MS-Dos and fdisk.
Pros: they work. good speed and timings.
Cons: none
Pros: Warcraft 3 is the most strategic RTS i have ever played. I have heard that "it practically invented micromanagement" and its true. After 5 years, there is still a very active gamer community that has taken the video game to a chess-like level of complexity. will run on any system around today
Cons: old. 2D graphics. you will get owned on battle.net more than enough times to make you consider giving up gaming
Pros: relatively quiet; plays crisis warhead at "enthusiast" settings on 1680x1050. linux drivers!
Cons: none
Overall Review: idles at 50 and load 80+celcius; but havent had any problems. be sure that your power supply has 2x6pin connectors
Pros: Atheros chipset. Connected right out of the box in linux! Connected after simple driver install in windows. Hasnt dropped the connection yet.
Cons: like others have side, weak connection. but doesnt seem to affect internet speed.
