Pros: This is a fantastic case. I expected aluminum, but this is all quality aluminum, well organized, well thought out, and well manufactured. Upside down layout makes the case heavy at the bottom, not at the top. Duh, why aren't all ATX cases made this way? Also, this allows the optical drives easy (short) access to the IDE/SATA headers. The HDD mounts are sideways with easy screws. Most importantly, the cooling pulls air over the HDD's, past the CPU fan, and around the VGA card and out the side exhaust. The Power supply pulls outside air in through the lower side vent and out, not re-cylced hot air from in the case.

Cons: I have to see how dirty it gets over time. Also, Aluminum is SOFT and can scratch although the outside is anodized therefore harder.

Pros: This thing is absolutely beautiful. Not that it matters, but they obviously care about craftmanship. Has every imaginable connection. The motherboard is thick and heavy (read durable) due to the 2oz copper inner layer. All the ports are easily accesible even with a ginormous video card installed, they must have realized not to put SATA connections behind the 16xPCIe slot. Even comes with an external SATA card with power connections.

Cons: Haven't found one yet.

Overall Review: GA-EP45-UD3R Q8200 GeForce GTX 260 OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro RS-650-ACAA-A1 650W WD Caviar SE16 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB SATA 3.0Gb/s All from Newegg - All for under $700 ! (after $100 of rebates)

Pros: This is by far the coolest, quietest, and highest quality power supply I have used. It is a high quality product that should provide stable margin for the life of the build.

Cons: None yet. I'll post if any stabilty issues arise.

Overall Review: My first modular power supply, works like a dream, pick the cables you need and leave out the rest. I also didn't realize how much it helps to be able to have both ends of a cable free when routing it.
