Pros: Lots of space in the unit, Front USB ports well spaced Hard drive mounting system is innovative Power supply worked out of the box

Cons: Built like a soda can

Overall Review: You get what you pay for; this unit is VERY light...the build quality is ok but you get the feeling that if you put anything heavier than a book on it the thing will crush. The unit seems slightly wider - but less deep - than other units I've bought. Quite a few mounts for case fans (5 in all) even though it it should come with at least ONE on the back. Hard drive mounting system is different; instead of mounting them one on top of the other you mount the drives using the screws ON THE BOTTOM of the drive directly to the interior mounting rail. This gives better air flow and keeps the drives cooler, IMO. But you can only mount two max. The front USB ports are well spaced; you can plug in two flash drives at once which hasn't been the case with some of the other one's I've purchased. Power supply worked well right out of the box, lots of connectors. Bought this for a cheap build, it's okay but I'll spend a little more next time and get something more sturdy like an InWin.

Pros: Cheap...that's about it!

Cons: Practically everything else.

Overall Review: I used to use ASUS (and Abit) almost exclusively for my builds, but switched to Gigabyte and ECS about 2 years ago due to quality issues. I gave this board a try on the off chance that they fixed their issues, but boy was I wrong. Constant lockups, many BSOD's (on a clean install) - this thing won't even POST unless you have memory in banks 1 and 3 ONLY! Using Hynix, Samsung and Crucial RAM which somehow are not on the list of "supported" manufacturers. Back to Gigabyte and ECS for me! Going to RMA this at first opportunity...

Pros: I've used quite a few antivirus products - Bitdefender, Kaspersky, AVG, Avira, Avast and even... GASP! Norton and McAfee. This beats them all, hands down. Lightweight, fast and efficient... doesn't bog down the system using a ton of resources and has just the right tweaks you need. Virus definitions updated daily - sometimes even TWICE a day. I have yet to have a computer get a virus that I've installed his on.

Cons: The Smart Security product offers a few extra tweaks for the truly challenged. The firewall helps significantly, along with the DNS blocking capabilities. This thing can't counter stupidity, which really isn't ESET's fault. If you're dumb enough to click on a link that contains a virus or trojan, or install one of those programs, ignoring any warnings then you deserve what you get.

Overall Review: I forced my office to uninstall Trend Micro on my business computer and use an ESET product and so far, I'm the only one who didn't get caught with an email virus. Never had a problem with these products, and as long as they're in business I'll continue to buy them. At least, when they go on sale.

Pros: Built pretty solid; fit and finish is good. Flat black with red accents paint and color scheme ROCKS and LOOKS SWEET! Room to route cables through the back of the case to hide them and make everything look nice. Front fan has a red LED which adds a touch of class and the USB ports are well spaced at the top of the unit.

Cons: POWER SUPPLY CABLES ARE WAY TOO SHORT!

Overall Review: I got this because the first case I buy to do a cheap build (Diablotek) felt like an empty Pepsi can. I vowed to spend a few more bucks and get a better built case. Impressed me right out of the box with the fit and finish, the red accents and fan LED's are really sweet. The drive mounting system is a little cheap since it's basically a plastic tower with plastic thumb locks, but whatever...it worked. Should have been steel or aluminum, though. So I open it up, mount my Gigabyte motherboard and try to run the power cables and guess what...THEY'RE TOO SHORT! The ATX 12V 2x2 connection doesn't even reach and the 24-pin ATX connection barely makes it when you stretch it as far as it goes. This is because the power supply is mounted at the bottom of the case and not the top - it's common sense that if you're going to do this the cables need to be longer than about 9 inches! C'MON, RAIDMAX - you're better than this!
