Pros: I just finished assembling back my pc. Where do I start? This case is insane for its price tag. First of all, it looks way better in person. The case comes with everything you need to assemble your pc and 3 or 4 more pc’s lol, it even comes with washers, Just amazing. The manual is great, but One thing I would warn anyone is, first before anything install your optical drives, and be extremely careful when you pull the front out, cause it comes out very very easily, but it comes out that easy only when you intend and are pulling it to come out, or else its solid. My power button is funny, but nothing wrong with it. Header panel has 4 Usbs, e-sata port, mic, headphones the HDD light is on top as well, its a strip between 4 to 5cm long, nice effect when system is busy. A final word of advice, DO NOT CLOSE the side panel until your system is up and running and you have no more business with the interior, I literally opened and closed it around 10 times. lol

Cons: No real cons to worth mentioning, just cable management isn’t that great, but its my components that have a lot more cables than the average pc user. A few rubber bands here and there fixed the issue. Or else its not an issue what so ever, as long as its away from the fans, especially the enormous side fan.

Overall Review: System Specs: Biostar Tseries 790GX XFX ATI Radeon HD4890 XXX 1gb 256-bit GDDR5 (Overclocked) AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz (overclocked to 3.6) 8gb G.SKILL DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Aftermarket Artic Heat sink with fan 3.25Tb capacity (all western digital) All temps are Celsius degrees. And the diff test modes which were between the old and the new case are “Idle mode” and playing Battle field Bad Company 2” with all game settings set to high. CPU overclocked to 3.6Ghz from 3.2Ghz, graphics card is factory overclocked. Old Case Idle: System Temp: 36-37 CPU Temp:47-50 GPU Temp: 62-63 BFBC2 (max settings): System Temp: 39-40 CPU Temp: 70-71 GPU Temp: 80-83 New Case Idle: System Temp: 28-29 (around 7 degrees drop) CPU Temp: 39-40 (over 7 degrees drop) GPU Temp: 61-62 (around 1 degree drop) BFBC2 (max settings): System Temp: 28-29 (same as Idle mode) CPU Temp : 50-54 (over 20 degrees drop) GPU Temp: 76-78 (Over 4 degrees drop)

Pros: Very good board, Solid Caps, not bad on board graphics, very easy and tempting BIOS, great overcloaking assisting software (on CD) easy installing on case, no trouble installing CPU, Graphics card, great manual, very understandable (although this was my second build, I still had to refer to the manual and answered all my Q's) The board was labled like many others which makes it easy to know what is for what.

Cons: None, I mentioned the BIOS was tempting, because they have a great OverCloaking enabling system (at your expense obviously) so if you don't know what your doing, lsn to your mommy and don't touch what you don't know. Plus, (not a con) its capabilities are really high so you will have to have the right parts to help take it to that higher standard or else, it will just cause you trouble.

Overall Review: My Pc specs: This Board XFX ATI Radeon HD4890 XXX 1gb 256-bit GDDR5 (Overcloaked) AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz (Overcloaked to 3.6, using the software the board came with) 8gb G.SKILL DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Aftermarket Artic Heatsink with fan 3.25Tb capacity (all western digital) I would say my pc is standard, but if the other components were at a higher level, the board will surely be able to handle it as well.

Pros: Amazing CPU, handles multitasking without sweat (provided the rest of your system works to this CPU's standard and not below or against it) I got this last year when it was around $300+ and was fighting over the 3.2Ghz or 3.4Ghz and I wish I went with the higher one, but wasn't sure because it was my first build and did't know if it would make the 9 mile difference. I own a Biostar Mother board (details in "Other thoughts:) and the board comes with an overcloaking software, very easy to use and with the other parts I picked to work together as a whole unit, I managed to hit 3.6xxGhz from 3.2Ghz and the difference in performance is a grocery store around the corner and a super store downtown. I'm sure if I had picked better components in the mix, the difference would be more.

Cons: None I wish I had picked the 3.4Ghz, AMD is the best, many of their components battle head to head with Intel's even the ones that cost double or tripple the price tag. But alaways keep in mind, overcloaking is at your expense, don't do it if you don't know it. This is a great chip and it produces heat, great heat if u Overcloak it, so make SURE that your heatsink can take care of it, thats one place you don't want to be Stingy!!!!

Overall Review: My build specs: Biostar Tseries 790GX XFX ATI Radeon HD4890 XXX 1gb 256-bit GDDR5 (Overcloaked) AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz (Overcloaked to 3.6) 8gb G.SKILL DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Aftermarket Artic Heatsink with fan 3.25Tb capacity (all western digital) I will be upgrading my case and CPU cooler soon, look up Liquid Cooling "All in one" well worth your money, will keep your system running long and stable.

Pros: This ram is just great for its price tag, very easy to install, and most importantly just plug and play and forget about it. If you are a person who is looking for this feature, this sticks are for you, but if you would like to get the best out of these sticks, and you KNOW what you are doing, these can still be for you, there are a lot of resources out there but it would be rare to find detailed information to playaround with, unless you have the exact system the other person tried out his/her modification on (that goes with overcloaking any of your components, unless they come with thier own software that makes it easier for you)

Cons: I started out with only 4gigs (2 sticks x2gb) and after a few months, I upgraded to a 64bit Windows (and its a must to have 8gb for a 64bit OS, lots of complications otherwise) and everyone advices to get the same kind of ram when upgrading, and I wanted to go to a higher level than what these can put out, go tripple channel, lower latency, etc, but if I did that, then I would have to throw these out or sell'em (won't get much if you sell single components) so I re-examined my thoughts on which way to go, and stuck with the same kind and got an extra 4gigs. My main point, when you want to build a custom rig, outline all your REAL intentions for the use of your build and go only with the most important ones. Always keep in mind the turn around of new products and technology in the market. Spending that extra few buks (always keep a range of $50) will be well worth it.

Overall Review: Nun much, here are my PC Specs; I am an average gamer (around 20 - 30hours a week) the rest of the time I'm always on my pc designing graphics, websites, and lots of music.
