Pros: Lots of room to work in. Great airflow, and ability to customize fans will be great down the road. Heavy duty construction feels amazingly solid inside and out. Extremely quiet case due to the large size of the fans.

Cons: Cutout for CPU backplate is not large enough. Installing my graphics card was not as designed. Box of screws was shipped without being secured down. This did not cause any damage but it could have.

Overall Review: I really love this case but took an egg off for multiple small annoyances. I was prepared for the size, weight, and no dust filters based upon reviews on this site. However, when installing a new CPU cooler, I had to remove the entire motherboard because of the location of the cutout. The biggest annoyance is the design of the rear slots which are supposed to make it easy to install your graphics card. However, one of my brackets didn't swing all the way out, which made it awkward trying to get screws into place, and the screws were needed since the brackets would not click back into place because they ran into the fan casing on my card. Still, this is a great case and it made my first build amazingly easy.

Pros: Large screen size for a very reasonable price. Bright, crisp colors. Better blacks than my last monitor. Very thin and easy to install.

Cons: Extremely reflective.

Overall Review: This is a great monitor that made me realize how bad my old 28" Hanns G really was. The colors are much more accurate and connective via HDMI gives great HD resolution. Only gripe is the high gloss of this screen. I've always owned matte screens, so was not prepared for the difference in finishes. However, this is going to happen with any matte v. glossy screen. So just realize that the room needs to be pretty dark to avoid images of yourself or your room (especially when the screen is displaying a dark/black image).

Pros: Quiet fans and easy to install. Only large red fans I could find. Great replacement for the stock fans in my HAF 932 Advanced case.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have a red theme going with my computer and this was basically my only options, so I just hoped they worked well. I was pleasantly surprised in all areas. I installed two of these fans, one on the side and one as an entrance on the top. Performance wise, these fans move a lot more air than my stock HAF 932 Advanced fans. My comp is consistently running 5-10 degrees cooler. I also enjoy the looks and due to their large size, they are very quiet. Extremely pleased with these fans.

Pros: Used this board on my first build and it is designed very well with clear instructions on its many features. BIOS is easy to use.

Cons: AI suite OC my CPU which was not what I was attempting to do.

Overall Review: I really like this board and I have every feature I could need plus room for upgrades down the road. The only bump I have had was with the AI suite software. Since it is my first build, I'm not blaming Asus in the least, but the 4 way optimization oc my cpu. I didn't know optimize meant oc. I assumed it would check my components and 'optimize' (i.e. adjust fans and other bios settings) accordingly. I ran intelburn after the optimization and luckily stayed by my comp as i shot up to 90+ degrees in under a minute. I couldn't understand why because I had only 'optimized' and I assumed that this would lead to better temps as prior intelburns got into the mid-70s after 10+ minutes. I figured out how to reverse the oc and unistalled AI suite. This is all due to my inexperience, but I think it should be more clearly labeled that an optimization has the potential to OC and may make your system unstable.

Pros: Very powerful card at reasonable price. Plan on buying another for SLI setup. I really like the look of the twin frozr design.

Cons: Buzzing occurs during moderate loads.

Overall Review: My computer is extremely quiet so most may not notice the buzzing I am hearing. I noticed it when I muted my sound and was playing a game. The noise sounds like a bee which I have learned is probably coil whine. I checked and the fans are fine. Stress testing does not duplicate the noise, but it occurs during slightly above average gameplay. As long as my sound is going I do not notice it. Only downside to an otherwise great card.

Pros: Solid performance with enough power to upgrade down the road. Long secondary motherboard connection worked on my full tower case without need for extension.

Cons: Not what I envisioned semi modular would be.

Overall Review: I read reviews that said the non-modular cables were what everyone needs to make a computer, so all thye hard wired cables would be used on every build. I assumed this was true, but this is not the case. I did not need the molex cord and had to hide this rather large cable. Next time I will look closer as to what semi modular means as it seems to vary quite a bit.
