Pros: Solidly built. Quiet. Both the fan and electronic noise are acceptably low. I don't hear any loud clicks, pops, whines, hisses, chirps, etc. that I have had with previous power supplies.

Cons: No egg-breakers here. I'm nit-pickey but could not find a single issue with it.

Overall Review: I went through all the negative comments and I'd like to attack them one by one: 1) "DOA or failed after a short time" -- ALL power supplies have a failure rate. If it's going to fail, it's usually within the first week. Set your computer up to play a DVD in a loop while running a few antivirus searches and defrag at the same time. Let it run a day and burn it in. If it fails, get a new one. 2) "Modularity" -- You knew what you were getting when you bought it... fixed and modular cables were well spelled out. 3) "I didn't get to buy one?!" -- Wow, seriously? 4) "I bought 5 and 3 failed." -- Liar. 5) "I've owned this product for 5 months and it failed." -- Liar. 6) "Why not combine the 4 and 8 pin ATX and EPS connectors into one cable bundle?" -- Okay, I'll give you that one. Silly. 7) "Two extra modular Molex cables & only one SATA??" -- Well, that's what my specs said I was getting? Did you not read the specs? I did.

Pros: Well, if you need an 802.11b/g adapter, this did actually work. The drivers were loaded automatically and I didn't need to use the disk at first. More about that later. It's smaller than my other USB "N" dongle. Actually fit in the front port without being cocked sideways.

Cons: Only 1,000 words, eh? Well, I plugged it in, it loaded drivers, and away I went... at 65mbps. wow, that's like 20% faster than my "G" card. I loaded drivers from the disk and crossed my fingers. 65mbps. Hmmm. Might be a bad card. Luckilly, I bought two, one for each of my desktops. 65mbps. Hmmmmmmmm. Maybe I'm in a dead spot in the house... 10 feet in a direct line to the wireless router, but hey, it was worth a try. Disconnected my other "N" dongle by another maker that I have on my kid's computer. Plugged it in to the SAME port... 130mbps. Now I've got my answer. 2) The software provided was completely useless. In fact, it was less than useless. These third party management software programs must completely ignore the fact that windows has a decent and working wireless config utility that, by the way, WORKS. Why double-up on a good thing.

Overall Review: Okay, only 871 characters. Other thoughts? I'm out $5 and about two hours of troubleshooting, two sheets of paper, some packaging tape, and some heartache. Save yourself. Run. If you're hoping to get any better speed than a Wireless "G" dongle, don't. RUN!

Pros: It did not steal from me.

Cons: Would not charge.

Overall Review: Plugged it in, nothing. I got a dim light for a few seconds, but nothing. Kept it plugged in overnight and nothing. Tried another charger and nothing. My time is worth more than the trouble this has given me.

Pros: - FAST! - Reliable (reportedly) - Small - Lightweight - Low Power Consumption - Runs cool - FAST! - Silent I'll start here and continue in the "other thoughts" Section. I bought this drive to speed up my new beast system. I tried RAID 5 with some older, 160g drives I'd had laying around but could not get the speed up high enough with four drives... plus it was an energy hog and I was concerned about taxing my power supply. So, I backed up my RAID array with Macrium Reflect, installed the SSD alongside the RAID array, and imaged it. Worked great but windows score was only 7.6. NOW, I started researching and found that AHCI was faster. Cool, switched my BIOS to AHCI and -=BSOD=-!!! (Blue Screen of Death for the uninitiated). Switched back to RAID mode (removed old 160g drives) and no problem. I tried EVERYTHING I could find online and a BSOD on startup with AHCI was supposed to be cured by a registry entry. Tried it all, BSOD! (Continued below)

Cons: - Difficult to follow the learning curve and get it installed right.

Overall Review: Tried EVERYTHING over a period of a few hours and got more BSOD's. Finally, I decided to reinstall Win7 and start from scratch (3 weeks into building the system). Switched bios to AHCI, Installed from DVD, updated drivers, optimized, BOOM! Benchmarks for everything else were unchanged, of course, but Hard Drive is MAXED out now because of AHCI. Did I mention this drive is fast? Windows starts in 25 seconds, programs load in the blink of an eye. Photoshop CS5 installed in about two minutes... Loads in about three seconds! WOW! I am having to learn how to move the mouse quicker and click quicker because the computer doesn't make we wait for ANYTHING! Final thoughts-- I am considering ditching the 2.5" drive on my laptop and going with an SSD. I should have done that on a test basis before I installed this in my desktop... live and learn. Software needed: Easus Partition Master (Free) Macrium Reflect (Free) Advanced Tokens Manager (Free)

Pros: - Power supply seems stable. - Covers on front for CD Drives are solid - Does not cut the heck out of my hands like other cases.

Cons: - Came in a box so dinged up I was almost sure it was unuseable - Had to use a mallet to beat the metal back to a point where it would work. Yeah, this is mostly a shipping issue, but the flimsey box and almost complete lack of padding added to this. What, do they airdrop these to your doorstep?

Overall Review: I didn't send it back. Ever try and mail something that big? Too much hassle, I'll deal with the (now) cosmetic damage after my repair. Still the best looking case in my gaming room.

Pros: - Lots of goodies - Well layed out with cooling fins where they need to be - USB 3.0.

Cons: - SATA connectors hang over the back. Plugging them in bends the back of the board down uncomfortably - Confusing and difficult bios update process - Where is the firewire? - Cover plate does not work well with this motherooard

Overall Review: ... Mostly.
