Pros: Works like a champ with Debian and a stock 2.6.26 kernel. I am not using on-board raid though. 4 ports.

Cons: This is plain PCI interface, so don't expect 4 drives to win any speed contests. Only ships with 2 SATA cables (non-latching).

Overall Review: Too soon to tell if performance is enhance with NCQ features. Once I have all my new drives swapped into the linux RAID5 array I will try to post again with more feedback.

Pros: Looks like a very well made heatsink with plenty of heat pipes, but I am not installing it to find out.

Cons: Does NOT include the AMD socket AM3 spring clip as pictured, so you WILL have to remove your motherboard to install it if you have an AMD system.

Overall Review: This is an upgrade, so I really don't want to pull my system apart to install... I ordered this $$$ heatsink because is was one of the few decent ones sold that claimed to have the AM3 spring clip. Newegg fails to update the product pic, and I am out shipping and restocking fees... this is my fault how?

Pros: Well constructed, not too heavy, not too light Roomy Good airflow with door open Decent cable management Front panel cables have good lengths to reach the bottom of an ATX mb. Still has (2) 5.25 external bays Not as giant as the R6 - needed to fit into desk stand.

Cons: Closing the door restricts the intake airflow significantly. Side panel is a bit fidgety as noted in other reviews. The latch alone is not enough to secure it well, screws are still needed. Expensive, and not newegg premier or shoprunner eligible. Hard to find as well, or I would have tried Jungle One. Nothing provided to block the bottom vents - lets good ventilation out for no purpose.

Overall Review: My front fan only had 3 out of 4 screws installed. Since I also installed a 2nd front fan, the extra set of screws included still left me one short. Screws for 140mm fans need to use the tapped holes in the case. The included screws are 6-32 flat head machine screws about 1in long, not easy to find especially in black. I made do with a plain steel screw. This QC is disappointing in such an expensive case. I removed all the 3.5" internal bays, and used the backside mounting for 2 SSD's. It would be nice to have the option for smaller 2.5" rack instead that left the fans less blocked. I do like having two 5.25" external bays, I use one for a hot-swap HDD dock for backups, and the 2nd for a BD-XL drive, otherwise I could have gone for the "C". The bigger issue is that the front door restricts airflow. I have 2x GP14's on the intake at 100%, 1 GP14 on the exhaust, plus the pwr supply with fan up, and a GTX1070ti exhaust fan. With the door open, the vents over the PCI cage exhaust air strongly. With the door closed, that airflow reverses and they pull air in strongly. Not good, they are unfiltered, and are likely to re-ingest hot exhaust air.

Pros: Efficient Quiet Reliable

Cons: A little expensive. Also don't like the click-on, click off hybrid mode switch on the rear - I am sure it will be toggled by accident.

Overall Review: I have used Seasonic for many years, always a solid product.

Pros: Just works with my Ryzen 7 2700X. Asus DOCP loads the XMP settings easily and works great. Much better than stock settings. Compact heatsinks won't interfere with CPU coolers. Black doesn't look as trashy.

Cons: These probably will not overclock very well if that's what you are going for. The faster parts will have been binned out for pricier modules.

Overall Review: 2x16GB sticks for 32GB will be more stable and faster than 4x8GB. Price is good. Would buy again.

Pros: Accepts older V2 Xeons and DDR3 RDIMM w/ or w/o ECC Lots of PCIe slots and SATA plugs An actual IPMI function including remote power management and virtual console! All in an ATX form factor Rock solid in all stress tests

Cons: No x16 PCIe slot so not good for gaming rig A bit pricey

Overall Review: I had the CPU and the DDR3 to definitely worth it for me... if you are buying everything than maybe a Haswell V3 Xeon and DDR4 mobo would be a better choice.
