Beautiful, spacious, and well organized, with one tiny flaw when using 360mm radiator
Pros: - extremely good looking case with nice, quiet RGB fans - fantastic for cable management and organization; 2.5" and 3.5" drives are well hidden, and they even managed to sneak a couple 5.25" bays in for old timers like me who still have a few optical discs laying around - great airflow because of the good organization - can fit a 360mm radiator in front (but see note below)
Cons: - could use a few more zip ties; I only got 4 which was not enough - when mounting fractal's own 360mm radiator in front in push-pull configuration, you can't access all the necessary screws at the same time without awkwardly spacing out the front RGB fans. I bought some 6-32 x 1-1/4" black pan head machine screws and simply through-bolted the front fans through the case and into the radiator, which solved the problem. I suggest that Fractal include 12 such screws with the case and/or radiator for this situation in the future.
Overall Review: Overall, highly recommended. I only spent a few bucks on some extra screws and zip ties and got a top notch build that was easy to cable manage and looks awesome.
Great passive card
Pros: Small, silent, relatively cool, inexpensive, good performance. A little OC allowed me to play COD:MW2 at 1600x900 at medium settings with zero problems. Perfect for HTPC, or filling in the gaps in a multi-monitor display.
Cons: Of course, it's up to you to either 1) ventilate the thing or 2) don't push it too hard.
Overall Review: Half height adapter is great for HTPC folks. Full-height HTPC cases are ugly! :)
Great case
Pros: +Looks great, very clean and professional +Bottom mounted PSU (personal preference) +Great ventilation -- I've got five Nexus Real Silent fans going at 7V and internal temperatures are wonderfully low +Nothing rattles! Pet peeve with other cases... +Strong. I wouldn't be afraid to sit on the thing. +Great cable management, especially when using fan extenders
Cons: -Bottom PSU location can be a pain for some connections, though overall I still prefer it -A bit more case length would be nice, but I have no problems fitting everything in
Overall Review: Can't beat Antec for the money, IMHO
Great product
Pros: Excellent fan controller. Gives easy, smooth control over fan speeds. Temperature is pretty accurate according to my spot thermometer (within 1-2 deg. C). Looks absolutely great in my black Antec 300 case. It's quite nice having ambient air temp, HDD temp, etc.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Some other good places for temp probes: voltage regs for watercooled systems that don't get enough air there, north/southbridges, passive video cards, PSU
Great purchase
Pros: +Rock solid overclocker, even on stock cooler +Can't beat it for the money +Love the triple channel memory controller
Cons: -None
Overall Review: Love it!
Solid memory, good deal
Pros: +Good performance out of box +Overclocks nicely with my Foxconn Flamingblade, i7 930 +Looks great
Cons: -None
Overall Review: Solid RAM. No trouble at all with moderate to high overclocking.
