Pros: It's got just about every feature I ever wanted in a computer case: 1. Cable-routing beneath the motherboard 2. Endless case fans with fan-control buttons. 3. Fans cables are routed under the motherboard already. Get power from two molex connectors conveniently bundled with USB/1394/HDAudio/etc cables. 4. Comes with a small toolbox mounted inside the case (next to the PSU). Includes screws, a screwdriver, soft dust cloth, and a couple small other things. 5. Built-in card readers on top of case. I usually spend $20 to put in a 3.5" bay card reader, but this has it integrated! 6. SATA [internal] data and power connectors, and eSATA connector on top of case. Super easy to temporarily connect an internal HDD without opening the case (comes with SATA power and data cable connectors). 7. Tool-less 5.25" bays and HDD bays

Cons: Not much bad to say about the case: 1. I can be kind of difficult to line up the holes on the tool-less 5.25" bays. 2. Case material feels a little flimsy in places. 3. Requires bottom-mounted PSU (not a big problem for some people).

Overall Review: Got this case as part of a combo deal with a PSU, so I effectively got it for $40. But, I would definitely spend the regular $100 on it if I needed another one. Seems completely worth it.

Pros: USB and fan control works

Cons: SD card reader not functional. Returned and replaced, still not functional!

Overall Review: I bought this thing mostly just for the SD card reader and it doesn't work. Returned and replaced, and it STILL doesn't work. Seriously?? It's not worth the $12 shipping to try again. I'm going to buy a different panel

Pros: Put it on a 5850. Extremely quiet even at 100% fan speed. Temps are at 80C at 100% load, which is acceptable to me (85C is my comfort threshold). Installation was fairly straightforward (and a lot easier than getting the stock cooler off).

Cons: The resulting graphics card will be wider than two slots. This can be pretty annoying, as it will block an extra PCI/PCIe slot you might've been counting on using. The lack of fan noise leads me to believe that the fan could be more powerful. 100% fan speed is quiet, but it may not be enough cooling for some cards.

Overall Review: After the stock cooler fan on my 5850 died, I needed a cheap replacement that could handle constant 100% compute use without overclocking. This was perfect. Well, almost perfect. It would've been nice if they could've gotten it down to 2-slots wide, as I have to juggle some hardware configurations to get wifi on that computer now (gotta switch to USB wifi). It's because it's a MicroATX mobo, so not everyone would have this problem It looks like the fan is replaceable, though I think it would take up even more space, since the fan it comes with is pretty skinny.

Pros: -- Lots of great features advertised -- USB3 & SATA3 -- Onboard 7.1 HD Audio -- Integrated gfx, decent, too -- RAID5 (supposedly) -- Never overclocked before, but the options for it are everywhere

Cons: -- Serious heat problems -- BIOS RAID (fakeraid) just doesn't work -- Heatsink mounting tolerance poor -- 4-pin power connector in middle of motherboard instead of side (minor) Mine was probably defective -- BIOS option for using integrated video over PCI-e video card did not work -- Weird front-panel pin-out layout (two separate pin blocks, needing some guesswork).

Overall Review: -- Using the same heatsink and CPU, my other mATX mobo idled around 27C (AMD X3 440). On this MSI board, it idled around 43 C. Went to stock heatsink/paste for sanity check... idled around 52C. I even underclocked to 2GHz and no improvement. -- The heatsink right next to the CPU (NB?) gets so hot I almost burned my finger on it when I accidentally touched it. -- Onboard [FAKE]RAID was a disaster. No drivers for Win7 64-bit, and tried every tutorial in the book with Ubuntu, with no success. -- Tried to install GPU for computing and keep using integrated video for display. BIOS has option to force "Internal" gfx instead of PCI-e, but the BIOS refused to output to integrated video when the PCI-e card was present. Why have the BIOS option if it doesn't work? -- Surround sound refused to work in Ubuntu, despite having all the kernel modules. -- Thought I was going to break heatsink because AM3 heatsink mount was so tight. No problem on my other mobos w/ same

Pros: Good card. Kept stable temperatures, and ran exactly as I expected for a GTX 460. Also EVGA RMA dept is decent.

Cons: Card started exhibiting video corruption after 6 months. Went through RMA process to get replacement card. Replacement card caused hard crashes requiring hard reset every 5 minutes. Probably damaged during shipping. Now I have to RMA my RMA-replaced card, and pay for shipping *again* to get it replaced

Overall Review: I have always liked EVGA, and I'm not going to change my future opinion of them too much based on one bad experience (I did appreciate the efficiency of the RMA dept). But it is ridiculous to get a replacement card that is effectively DOA, and then have to pay for shipping to send it back. So while I tend to like EVGA, I have to give this card 1-egg because it's reliability is terrible.

Pros: Everything works out of box with eeebuntu 8.10, except for webcam but I never use it (so I didn't spend any effort to figure it out). Keyboard is about as good as it's going to get given the size of the thing, only takes about 5 minutes to get used to it (and I got this model because it has the right-shift key in a reasonable place). Also comes with WinXP, which is nice to not have to deal with Vista.

Cons: Touchpad can be kind of annoying, but probably not a hardware thing. Both eeebuntu and windows do not implement right-side-touchpad-scrolling by default, and I still can't figure out how to use the scrolling/selection functions (two-touch methods?). It would be really nice to have a trackball, but given it's not there I recommend keeping a spare mouse around (but really, I've always despised touchpads, so I'm biased). Battery life is about 6 hours in Ubuntu, 7 hours in XP, both of which are less than advertised, but still good.

Overall Review: I did a lot of research before getting this computer, and it met all expectations in that regard. The right-shift key is a common gripe about computers this small, but this model has that covered. It's powerful enough to run most of what I throw at it (a few firefox windows, gnome-terminals, thunderbird, and a music player), and as long as I have an extra mouse laying around to hookup to it, I'm a happy camper.
