Pros: Great price Plays video well and isn't too loud during the process
Cons: When reading data discs at top speed, however, this thing sounds like a jet engine. Also, when I put my mobo driver CD in, it decided to play for me the song of its people - which for all the world sounds like the motor that moves the lens is broken. Come to find out, it just makes that sound if you put in a dead disk. Very strange.
Overall Review: Nice drive with some colorful character for a great price. I'd definitely recommend it.
Pros: Great mids and highs Good bass
Cons: None
Overall Review: If you catch them on sale or clearance, they're an amazing purchase, though the stock price may be a bit much.
Pros: Great looking little case that fits right into an entertainment center Sweet lift-out drive tray Low-power PSU that's great for low-voltage CPUs.
Cons: While I love the drive tray, it has two major flaws: 1) If your mobo places the main power connector at the back of the board, you'll have a difficult time getting a good fit. 2) 3.5" drive only mounts from the bottom. This makes mounting most SSDs a huge pain
Overall Review: Makes a great HTPC case once you get it all fit nicely. I really love it.
Pros: Tiny, tiny little mobo Ivy bridge support Fast as heck
Cons: Only having a VGA port on this thing should be criminal.
Overall Review: I ended up replacing this board quickly because of that - a shame, because I managed to tune the bios down to 5-6 second boot times. If you only need VGA, this board is perfect. If it's the base for a HTPC, grudgingly look elsewhere.
Pros: Compact, economic, and low-power, but still powerful
Cons: None
Overall Review: It's good enough to play Skyrim at the lowest settings, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's an amazing HTPC CPU, though.
Pros: Nice, fast drive. I have boot times around 6-7 seconds.
Cons: None
