Looks GREAT, Good Airflow, LEDs!

Pros: Where do I start? Build Quality - VERY SOLID LEDs - Bright Completely TOOL-LESS... although I put a few screws in anyway just to tighten everything down. Removable motherboard tray! Two included 120mm fans - pretty quiet, but because they run at a low RPM. It looks like a Transformer! Very large and spacious! Great magnetic door on the front. But best of all, its CHEAP!
Cons: FINGERPRINTS!!! It's shiny, so like those new glossy notebooks, just touching it leaves prints everywhere. Sideways hard drive mounts - they're fine and all, but I'd rather have it lined up so the airflow from the front fan I installed blows over it. Also if your PSU has a short SATA power cable, it will be sort of a tight fit.
Overall Review: Ok, so some have called it childish, and I agree, but I built the PC for a 14 year old, so I'm ok with that. But it really looks great.
They definitely cut a few corners.

Pros: Included RGB and RGB ports are welcome and nice. BIOS was compatible with my Ryzen 5800x. Rear IO is well laid out.
Cons: Why are there only THREE fan ports on this board (aside from CPU and CPU-opt)? And the locations are TERRIBLE. Gigabyte, would it have killed you to put one fan port near the 24-pin power instead of hide it up next to the 8-pin CPU power? Only one USB3 header on board. Oh, and they didn't even include a manual in the box! How cheap is that?
Overall Review: Yes, it works, and it's a good board. But in literally 15 years of building computers, this is the first time I've had to go find a fan adapter to connect 3 fans to one port. That's just so silly to me.
It's alright

Pros: It looks nice, works fine so far, and the 120mm fan sucks air right off the CPU. Fan is UV Reactive. Quiet.
Cons: It has the single large fan, which makes it quiet, but I don't really feel a lot of air coming out of the back of the PSU. For what's supposed to be capable of 500 Watts, it feels pretty light. Lightness in power supplies usually means they're not durable. Again, could be because of the single fan, but I don't know. You can tell a lot about a PSU from the power cable that they include. Antec and Thermaltake include really thick cables, but this one reminds me of the cables that come with those cruddy power supplies included with budget cases. Even the metal it's encased in feels cheap.
Overall Review: I'll post again if it fails on me. So far, so good, though.
Great Card, Got the Rebate!

Pros: Like all HD4850s, this card is unbelievable! Sure, you have to mess with the profiles to get the temperatures down, but who cares. I've got it on 50 percent and I don't hear it. Gaming is unbelievable, my monitor's resolution is the only limiting factor. And guess what? MSI's site says my rebate has been approved! I didn't have to jump through any hoops!
Cons: The drivers are still a work in progress. Not MSI's fault, but AMD/ATi's. But hey, give them a little time and they could probably boost the already amazing performance.
Overall Review: I'm worried that once I buy the second one to go CrossFire, they'll come out with a 4850 X2 that will only take up on PCIe slot. But I LOVE THIS CARD!
