Pros: Great cooling. Strong construction. Good size. Easy to mount discs on pull out chassis once you decode the process.

Cons: Very poor idea to use plactic tabs to hols PC cards. Most would not even hold the screen covers for each mouting place. Terrible idea, or at least horribly engineered.

Overall Review: Distance from 5" drive to IDE socket on the motherboard beyond standard cable length if an IDE disc is also involved. Instructions very sparse and really not of any use. Max weight to move around with all the stuff mounted.

Pros: Met my goals of supporting legacy elements. Fail-safe BIOS that does not require disconnecting the the CMOS battery to reset to default. Saved me many time as I messed with the BIOS (see below).

Cons: Unstable- intermittently will simply totally freeze. Sometimes reboots on its own. Many of the BIOS settings are arcane. Asked ASRock for explanation of just one (HD Strength) they told me to read the manual which says nothing. Rate their customer support a zero!

Overall Review: The lack of an explanation for every BIOS option is very bad. I could spend years trying different combinations and would probably break something. To me this is a major drawback.

Pros: Met my expectations for a low end system, Remote volume control nice, since it avoids going they menus.

Cons: None really. Bass is weak ovrall clarity id good. Abetter hi/lo cutoff filter would help.

Overall Review: It is a recommended item.

Pros: Has not arrived

Cons: 12 dats and has not arrived from China. Ordered another from other source.

Pros: Construction seems adequate

Cons: Perhaps individual ear controls

Pros: It is working. A disk either works 100% or it doesn't.

Cons: Real pain to get Windows7 to recognize it.
