Pros: No hiccups so far...installed seamlessly in my new HTPC, and if all goes well, I'll buy 10 more to add to it. Definitely recommend them. WD is also one of my favorites, but samsung has really strutted their stuff with this disk. 1TB, low price, fast performance, what more could one ask for?

Cons: Not a WD, but still excellent.

Overall Review: I think in my system, once i have this for a few more months i'll evaluate it..but I really want more of these.

Pros: Upon opening the box, it was a beautiful card. Performed well in every game I threw at it, and did very well...for a few months anyway. Please see Cons.

Cons: If you're thinking of being an early adopter like me, and wanting a 5970, beware that there aren't many around...which means that if it fails, you have to RMA it, and will have to wait forever to get it back. First of all, HIS deals with a third-party distributor called "Lexy-Corp Pacific", and once you send the card to them, they wait until HIS in Hong Kong sends them a replacement to send to you. Naturally, Lexy-Corp gives you no status whatsoever, and tells you "Expect 2-4 weeks to get your replacement". Its been more than four weeks, and all they can tell me in broken english is "It takes 2-4 weeks. Be patient". But its BEEN more than 4 weeks, and all I get are representatives who can barely speak any english, telling me "2-4 weeks..2-4 weeks".

Overall Review: Avoid HIS if you can. Great card, but if it fails, you might as well just buy a new one from a more trusted source. I will personally never buy HIS again.

Pros: Solid Case Overall. Has a multitude of fans to keep your parts cool, and fits even the largest of video cards (ATI 5970). Looks great, black with blue lights, and has an individual fan controller for each fan, which is great. Good design, well done Antec!

Cons: The only downside I see is that this case is truly built for air cooling, not water cooling. You can put a 3x120mm radiator in the front of the tower, but its a bit difficult if you want to mod it out. Any experienced user could turn a cardboard box into a computer case, so its not a huge deal, but I figured it was worth mentioning.

Pros: This is the 8th drive in my HTPC so far, but I was worried about its spin speed. All my 1TB drives are 7200RPM 1TB samsung's and I wanted to stick with the brand, and could only find this 5900RPM drive. Popped it into my Bravo case and I'm getting FTP intranet speeds of 102MB/s (over 1.0gpps) which is awesome! I get around the same for my 1TB 7200 drives. I believe that the spin speed is only relative for seek/write times, which could be critical in a main OS disk or for games, but for watching movies? Maybe it will take a second longer to load the movie...big deal. Also, don't believe anyone about using GPT. MBR (master boot record) still works just fine as GPT is needed for disks OVER 2TB and this is 1.81 TB when formatted. Definitely a great buy!!!!

Cons: It didn't expand itself into a robot and clean my house

Overall Review: Don't go with those hitachis that have mixed reviews and unreliable hardware. I am a huge WD and Samsung fan, but for an HTPC 2TB drive, this one is the BEST! If you want a 1TB drive for an HTPC, may I recommend the HD103UJ or HD103SJ..I have 7 of those =)

Pros: Highly directional headset..can tell where everything is coming from. Nice long cord and easy to use volume controls per channel. The bass is also impressive, and for ONCE the headset mic is actually clear to others. Definitely recommend over the terrible Razer headset that breaks in your hand

Cons: The wire keeps getting tangled and it makes me think that the integrity of the wire is going to fail... Also, it isn't free

Overall Review: Razer? Forget that trash..get a Tritton!

Pros: This case is GIGANTIC! I bought a Coolermaster last year (full tower) and thought that it was big, but this one topped it. If you're looking to make a HTPC with tons of storage space, this is the case for you. I already have a couple 1TB drives, hoping to buy at least 12 more to size up my collection! Definitely a good buy

Cons: The brand name is less "heard-of" but don't be distraught. Go by the newegg reviews

Overall Review: BEST HTPC CASE!
