Pros: works pretty well... blu rays work great

Cons: when downloading info from CD or DVD... it gets kinda loud... unfortunately. and on the pass mark benchmard it scored very very low... i haven't noticed any actual performance issues ... probably becuase i never need to use the drive except for blu ray movies. so i guess its good enough... i probably should take an egg off for the core and the noise .... but .... its nothing to really inconvenience me... so ... whatever

Overall Review: its still great for the price.!

Pros: i love this monitor... its so sharp and very bright... blu rays look great!. and so does starcraft2. no problems wtih the HDMI. the speakers are great for lan parties if you 2 feet from the screen. any farther and they are too quiet. they are not high quality... but i love the convienience... and are good enough for games and you don't have to carry speakers wherever you go! everything works... you have to resize your screen when you use HDMI tho.... but they carry audio so that you don't need to plug in a audio jack too and can plug into you ps3

Cons: the 2 ms response time makes professional hollywood movies that are in dvd format look like cheap and cheezy home videos... the response time is so sharp and fast... it just looks bad and is hard to watch honestly. i can't figure out if i can slow it down...

Overall Review: overall very satisfied jsut don't watch alot of dvd's.

Pros: Very kool design. this thing is a couple inches wider than most mid towers... and is great for air flow and giant cpu coolers and GPUs. it has cable tunnes in the back which makes for a very clean look and better air flow... i really like that part.... no spider web of wires to get caught in fans or nothing. it has the ability for water coolers if you are and enthusiast. and plenty of room for everything a serious gamer would want. especiall with the possibility for 2 240 mm fans... oh ya.

Cons: the back panel you have have to have a screw driver.... but the front panel has thumb screws for easy removal.

Overall Review: the thing looks like a stinkin castle on the front... its so kool! everybody looks at my tower and say "whoa.... that thing looks hardcore" and the 2 orange slit lights on top make it look decisively terran.... if you are a sc2 fan... even tho i am a diehard protoss... oh ya. BTW it is already 17 pounds... so expect a 30 pound case when fully loaded with a psu

Pros: these babies have some sweet looking relatively weighty heat spreaders.... very nice... however they are so tall that on some boards the the third party cpu kooler might cause some physical issues on the board as far as fitting.

Cons: i tried running at 2000 mhz... which mymother so intelligently somehow had an oc profile just for these sticks... but when i started up my amd catalyst or engine control center would force shut down and i lost my overcl0ocking and adjust capabilities for my gpu and cpu.... so after much tweaking i decided to lower the speed to 1600mhz and everything was stable. and running where they should be according to the cpu-z system monitor.

Overall Review: this could be a compatibility issue with my mother board according its manual which stated that it could only run at 2000mhz (o.c) with 2 2gigs sticks of another common brand that i can't thing of right now.... so i was forcing it to do something that it wasn't tested for. running the ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3 amd phenom ll 1100t oc'd to 3.7 SAPPHIRE FleX 100314FLEX Radeon HD 6870.

Pros: Cheap... and 80 plus... and great brand name.... does just what it says with virtually no hickups

Cons: when sliding into the case i ripped off 2 of the 4 rubber feet on the bottom of the psu to keep it from vibrating.. i made it happen anyways and crewed it on with the broken feet shoved underneath... but they are very flimsy.. so be careful.... not really a performanceissue... so i dint take an egg off... tho i am very tempted

Overall Review: should of got a crossfire compatible psu for future upgrades... now i gotta buy a whole nother psu.... bummer. its good to have spare parts laying around.

Pros: this Board has everything that i could possibly want on a board and it all works!. 4 slot dual channel 2000mhz ram. 2 pci-e x16 2.1 for future crossfire. and the AI for overclocking profiles is amazing.. it senses your ram and creates an overclocking profile for it so that you don't have to mess with all the timings and cpu multipliers... very kool. this board is so customizable its awesome... be careful with how high the heat sinc is for your ram.. it is placed so close the the cpu heat sinc that if yougot a third party cpu cooler your ram heat sinc would interfeare and cause problems physcally. other than that i am very satisfied

Cons: unfortunately they don't putthe compatible ram speed/brands online before you buy the board you get to find that out after you buy it... so i got 2000mhz 8 gigs of patriot ram... not supported by this board.. i made it work anyways.... but the max it has been tested to work was with 4 gigs of some common brand i cant thing of right now... so needless to say my ram could be overclocked to 2000 mhz accordingto cpu z... the system monitor program.. but my amd catalyst force shutdown and thus all my gpu adjustments and cpu overcock to 3.7 ghz on my amd 1100t also shut down. but when down clocking down to 1600 mhz.... it worked great... and everything is running smooth. the 2000mhz wasn't stardard anyways... it was oc ... the fastest is actually 1600.

Overall Review: i notice the price difference now between this board and the saber tooth... and now i vastly regret not spending an extra 10 bucks and getting the critically acclaimed and customer choice award winner. -the sabertooth!!!! sad day.... but im sure that there wouldn't be too much of a difference... maybe food forthought for future buyers.
