Definitely worth the money!

Pros: Looks great in my entertainment center. PERFECT size! (any bigger, and it wouldn't fit in most entertainment centers or component racks.) Sturdy, high quality construction. Plenty of room for expansion. Space for THREE 80mm exhaust fans (a MUST, if you ask me), and two 120mm fans in the front. Space for LCD/VFD screen on the front panel.
Cons: Okay, so the PSU is on the "wrong" side, which poses two problems. 1) the PSU fan doesn't exhaust any hot air from the case, and 2) some PSU/mobo combinations won't work without some extensions. Also, it doesn't come with the VFD display, but I was able to buy that separately.
Overall Review: There are some complaints about this case being cramped, but come on people! This is a HTPC case! It's the exact same dimensions as my Denon 3805 receiver, and looks right at home sitting underneath it. To all those people who think the case should be bigger: YOU SHOULDN'T BE BUYING AN HTPC CASE! Given the exterior dimensions (which are PERFECT), it's amazing that there's as much space as there is. Sure it's tight, but there's plenty of room for my three hard drives, DVD drive, monster CPU cooler, 3 PCI cards, and video card. Also, having space for 3 80mm exhaust fans allows for the use of quiet, low CFM fans. Three quiet fans are much quieter than one loud one. I have three exhaust fans running on 5V. Almost silent, but still provides sufficient airflow. Oh, and I thought this came with the VFD display, which it doesn't. I ordered it directly from SilverStone. It's a MUST HAVE! It looks great, and works beautifully with MythTV (and I'm sure others as well).
Good while it lasted

Pros: Quiet, especially on the low setting
Cons: Quit working after about 3 years. It was relatively inexpensive, but I'd still expect it to work for more than three years. It definitely wasn't overloaded.
Awesome!!

Pros: I bought this for a HTPC, so low cost and low power consumption were higher priority than having a quad-core CPU. But I was still able to unlock all 4 cores with no problems. To umpy (see review below) and those who complain that you can't unlock the extra cores, I don't see how you can possibly complain when a product performs exactly as advertised. Neither AMD nor Newegg advertises or even implies that this is anything more than a dual core 3.2GHz CPU.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I didn't buy this expecting anything more than advertised. Unlocking all 4 cores was just an added bonus. Even if I was unsuccessful in unlocking the extra cores, I'd still give this 5 stars...
Would be a great TV if it weren't for banding issues

Pros: Beautiful picture, acceptable contrast ratio, will accept 1080p on both hdmi inputs, works with linux/mythtv with the right modeline settings.
Cons: Beware of banding! I was fully aware of this issue before I bought. I'm extremely picky when it comes to things like this though. Because of the potential issues, I purchased from a local retailer with a very generous return policy. I'm glad I did. I'm on set number 3 right now. The first set had 3 distinct vertical bands. The second set had 7-8 distinct horizontal bands. The third has faint horizontal bands. It's much better than the first two, though. It's minor enough that I've decided to live with it.
Overall Review: If you're picky about picture quality issues like banding, I'd think twice about purchasing this set. If you do, I'd recommend buying it from somewhere with a good return policy. As much as I swear by newegg, I'm glad I bought this locally, which made returning it much easier.
Works beautifully at 1080p

Pros: It's cheap, and it works.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I'm using this to drive a sharp 52" LCD at the full 1080p (1920x1080@60Hz) resolution. It works beautifully. And as always, Newegg is fast and reliable.
