Pros: Lots of room. Good cable routing. Lots of fans with a fan controller. Thick steel.

Cons: Too heavy duty. Too big for my desk. Weighs 56lbs loaded with 6 hard drives and a Noctua NH-D14 cooler. Bottom dust filter must be removed out the back, discouraging filter maintenance. Burnt up 750w power supply due to dirty filter.

Overall Review: I would recommend to anyone who knows these caveats going in.

Pros: Cheap. I will say failure is rare - only flash drive I can remember that failed new out of the package.

Cons: Slow. WAY slower than USB 3.0 for not much less. More hassle than it's worth to send it back to Taiwan for a replacement.

Overall Review: Go with USB 3.0 or better and for these cheap flash drives expect to throw it out when it doesn't work (if your time is worth anything).

Pros: 1. Solidly built. 2. You can mount the PSU with fan up or down, not just down so when the vents get plugged your PSU burns up. 3. Front facing USB ports. 4. Lots of fans. 5. Fan controller included with fan LED on/off switch.

Cons: The motherboard tray is receded down below the surface of the case interior. This causes difficulty plugging in the front panel USB 3.0 cable into motherboard header. I had to cut part of one of the rubber cable routing guides to relieve constant upward pressure on the motherboard USB 3.0 header. However, the worst design decision which I ran into, is that the drive trays require you to mount the drive backwards so the power and data cables connect on the right side while the drive mounts into the left side. Had I looked closer at the pictures, I might have seen this. The result is you must pull BOTH side panels to install or replace a drive. The right panel holds the routed cables in place and once it is on, I do not like to remove it. Very disappointing discovery for me.

Overall Review: If you don't mind the cons I mentioned, this might be a great case for you. For me, the backward drive trays would have been a deal breaker for me had I noticed them. Not so much a pain for initial assembly but I swap drives in and out a lot and I can see this will be a big pain as time goes by. Like lots of folks, my desk does not have wide open spaces to pull both side panels off to swap a drive in or out. It will require completely unplugging everything, moving the case to another location, remove both side panels, install the drive, replace both side panels, put back on desk, plug everything back in, power up and see if it works. If not, rinse and repeat. Not an exciting prospect.

Pros: Should be a great video card when I get the replacement. Very highly rated.

Cons: See other thoughts.

Overall Review: I bought this MSI GTX 750 Ti OC video card along with an MSI Z97S SLI PLUS motherboard three days apart in Dec 2014. The motherboard worked great with the integrated graphics. When I plugged in the 750 Ti, however, I got no video out on the video card or the integrated graphics. Windows 7 booted fine (audio worked) but no video out. Same symptom with a new GeForce 8400 GS. In all slots. RMA'd the motherboard for bad PCIe slots and quickly got a good refurb replacement. Unfortunately, I still get the same symptom with the 750 Ti. However, the GeForce 8400 GS works fine. I am now RMAing the 750 Ti for replacement. I can see possibly one of these two new MSI components arriving defective, but two out of two? It's disappointing to think of the time I've spent troubleshooting, and the expense of return shipping, to exchange TWO brand new MSI products for refurbs.

Pros: Great features for the price. Installed easily.

Cons: Small niggles - still a great board for the price. SATA connectors seem a little flimsy. Descriptions of the jumper locations in the manual are on the back of the page with the picture of the jumper locations. Would be helpful to be side by side.

I barely had time to exhale after placing my order before it was shipped. The laptop arrived fast and was double boxed and packed well. Highly recommended.
