Pros: Keeps my laptop very cool. Is very quiet until you crank the fans to max. Its very hard to find a laptop cooler with an AC adapter, most of them just swallow a USB port even though they say

Cons: Large, can be hard to find something to put it in if it is meant to be very mobile. Can vibrate some and is audible when fans are maxed. You can move the fans around but not much at their size. Not really all cons if you anticipate it.

Overall Review: Was bigger than I thought it would be (yeah I looked at the specs but didn't really get out a ruler and determine its real size compared to laptop). The cooler I had previously said it would accomodate a 17" laptop and the laptop practically engulfed it and so when this one said it would accomodate a 19" I thought, swell, it will fit perfect but it is much larger than I anticipated. If you have a 19" laptop this will do very well.

Pros: Cool looking, lots of big fans that were installed in the case unlike some of the cases that have the mounts but not the fans or ones where you have to install the fans yourself.

Cons: All the passthrough molex connectors on the fans in this case were garbage. Had to push pins back in after connecting them because they weren't secure in the plugs and the act of plugging them together would cause a pin to unseat. Actually thought all the fans were on some sort of switch until I discovered the loose pins were the problem and went through and checked them all. All had pins unseated to some degree or another.

Overall Review: The fan in the top of the case is in the way of installing power supply but that was not difficult to remove during installation. One thing about that though is if you are using a modular power supply you will probably have to modify the fan to get it to fit because the top connectors on the Tagan ABS 1100W that I have sit right against the fan and will block the cables from being threaded into them. I am not currently not using the top two middle connectors so I haven't had to modify them (yet).

Pros: Modular, so not a lot of extra cables in case if they're not needed. Plenty of power for my system (790iUltra, 9800GX2, 4 500G Hitachi Deskstars in RAID0+1,lots of case fans). Cool blue lighting effects in the PSU itself and the green red and blue modular connecting ports. Comes with a nice bag, accessory case with all the necessary connectors and cables and anti-static (at least I think they are anti-static, don't really care) gloves. Expensive but worth it. If you buy cheap you can expect cheap.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I have an NZXT Zero case and there is a fan in the top of the case that this power supply and I think any large power supply comes very close to. The fan has to be removed to install the PSU and then two of the modular connections sit right on the fan and the fan would have to be modified to be able to use the connections. I currently don't need to use the connections so its not a problem yet and I don't think that it would be difficult to take a little material off the fan chassis if future needs dictate.

Pros: Quiet, Fast, Reliable, so far. Bought 4 of these and put them in a RAID 0+1 and have had no problems whatsoever. Already have 2 Travelstar HDDS for my laptop which prompted me to buy these and I couldn't be more pleased. Have been a longtime Western Digital user but they didn't have the cache sizes comparable to these and I am very pleased so far with these drives..

Cons: No complaints so far. OEM packaging was bubble wrap but then the retail packaging isn't any more secure, probably less bubble wrap.

Overall Review: The only time I have heard these drives running is when I first set up my system and the tower was on the kitchen table right next to my ear. Other than the HDD LED can't even tell they are running. No heat issues that I can discern. So far I like these drives.

Pros: It was a little less than XP Pro, but then MS wants people to buy it.

Cons: It's Vasta. Needs tuning.

Overall Review: I thought that a machine with an EVGA 790i Ultra MB with a Q6600 Intel CPU and 4 gig of DDR3 ram and an EVGA NVIDIA 9800GX2 Video card with its dual GPUs and a gig of DDR3 video ram would be able to make Vasta run good but it really doesn't. It runs okay but it manages to make a fairly hot system rather pedestrian.
