Pros: Things fit nicely together inside, the removable hard drive cage is very handy, and (unlike some other reviewers) the CPU fan guide plastic insert piece works quite well. All my contents fit nicely with some sufficient room for air flow (though mine isnt the hottest system around). I have two hard drives (one IDE, one sata), a sata cd, no pci cards, and a celeron with stock fan. Also, the PSU doesnt make a sound.

Cons: * Buttons on front seem kind of cheesy and flimsy * front USB ports are REALLY snug (hard to plug/unplug usb sticks, etc)

Overall Review: I'd recommend this case for low power media centers

Pros: layout worked well enough for my case, no major problems in setup, manual was nice and clear on setting up jumpers and connectors

Cons: * this board apparently cannot boot from USB, why does a modern board not do this? * Mine arrived with a non-functioning DVI/HDMI connector, too bad I chose this specifically for that connector * BIOS options are quite sparse and there is no internal help system to explain the options

Pros: Very fast drive when it's not failing. Made our database accesses 20x faster!

Cons: My employer purchased 4 of these drives for me to test in our blade center (IBM HS21). Some of our Vertex2 had firmware 1.11 and others had firmware 1.25. With drives of both firmware versions we had recurring problems. Drive periodically disappears (shuts down/crashes) and does not re-appear until reboot. This is under fairly heavy load and happens about once a week. Newer firmware works much worse than the old one did.

Overall Review: This is apparently a drive with buggy firmware pushed beyond its limits to try and take top marks in speed (which it did). It is definitely not appropriate for heavy use and may not be good for even normal desktop use.

Pros: nice shiny green color

Cons: Thanks NewEgg!!! Yet another defective product and another week wasted.

Pros: it is shaped like a usb drive

Cons: it died after about a week, < 10 uses total. sector 0 is dead and unreadable

Overall Review: bummer, I had my whole os and config on there.
