Pros: This drive is great, transfers files fast, loads games insanely fast. I can load cod 4 in 5 seconds. Xp boots faster, no lag when opening files. Temp is great, about 4 degrees cooler Celsius than my previous hard drive.

Cons: ahhh..... none. Thought noise would be an issue, but this raptor is not as loud as my 7200 wd.

Overall Review: My old hard drive died the day that this drive came. now that's what you call perfect timing. The price of this is steep, but if u think is expensive, look at ssd's, they are insanely expensive, and this is just about as fast.

Pros: Its huge! I read the reviews and everyone said it was huge, I didn't realize what they truly meant until I saw it. It dropped my temps down about 10 degrees C. And I am not using the 200mm side fan (because my heatsink doesn't fit with it and I got a clear side window). The clear side window makes it look a lot better. The build quality is amazing. Everything fit perfectly. I'm glad this case doesn't have a removable mobo tray, the way they designed it it couldn't have a removable mobo tray. It only comes with 3 fans (one intake on the hd cage, one top exhaust fan, and one rear exhaust fan) The stock fans are ok, they are not loud, but don't move a ton of air. My 10 degree temp drop was using only the stock fans, except I didn't use the side 200mm. The tooless design for the drives works well. All of mine worked. On the top of the case, you can mount the 3 exhaust fans on either the inside or outside of the metal.

Cons: This case has a touch sensitive power button, which is cool, but I wonder how long it will last. The finish of the case is glossy, so it attracts dirt/ finger prints. The doors are a little difficult to get on. The trick is to put them as close as you can to the side of the case, and they should slide down into the rails and then push into place. I'm just nitpicking, this case is amazing. Everyone that I show it to is amazed. At first I thought the handles were more for looks, but now I see that you need them to move this behemoth.

Overall Review: The case was packaged very well. (case handles have foam, whole case rapped in plastic, whole case in a bag, bag in foam, foam in box) It could have gone through a tornado without a scratch. But the clear side panel I ordered was in a 1/2 inch box with little foam pieces on the end, not rapped in plastic at all. What gives? Why package the case so well and the side panel so poorly? I had to rma my first side panel it was so messed up. But the second one was good. You can't go wrong with this case. It has two uses, a computer case, or it can double as a bunker/bomb shelter. system specs: core 2 duo e8400 @3.6ghz Thermaltake v1 ax EVGA 750i For The Win mobo ocz reaper hpc 4gb pc2 6400 timings-4-4-4-12 2t WD raptor 300gb 10k rpm hd wd 250gb data hd Evga 9800 GX2 Thermaltake 600w psu Cooler Master Cosmos S

Pros: very fast! I upgraded to this c2d e8400 from a c2d e6400, and I am very impressed with the performance increase. My fps in GTA IV went from 15-20 fps with the e6400, to 35-40 fps with the e8400.

Cons: none, its a super fast reasonably priced processor that can easily overclock to 4.0 ghz and beyond!

Overall Review: I didn't use the stock Intel heat sink or thermal compound, so I can't comment on them. I use arctic silver 5 thermal compound and the thermaltake V1 AX heatsink.

Pros: this sound card is amazing. I went from on board sound to this. The drivers are great for xp, I don't have vista so I can't comment on that. The software that came with the drivers is really great, you can check it out on creative's website. The x-fi crystalizer makes music sound amazing, it can make even the worst quality music sound great. I can't get over how detailed the software is, you can tell the software where each of your speakers are, how far away they are. Its truly amazing.

Cons: price is a little high, but you get what you pay for. This card is amazing.

Overall Review: I have the logitech z-5300e speakers, and they sounded good before I got this card, but now they sound excellent.

Pros: I have owned this monitor for over a year now and let me say it is amazing. i have no dead pixels. The picture looks just as good as it did on day one. I was not sure about acer at first, but they are great!

Cons: the only con I can think of is that the monitor doesn't have height adjustment, although it does have tilt adjustment.

Overall Review: For the price its the best 24" monitor out there.

Pros: Blue led, love the silver fins, easy to install. I used for a core 2 duo e6400, took it from idling @ 55C to 35C. also the fan controller is nice, you can use it if you want or, it un plugs and you can let the BIOS control the fan speed.

Cons: size, measure and make sure it fits, it clears my psu by about .25 inches, and it sticks out so far, it is about 1 inch from the window on my case.

Overall Review: I was going to get the old copper V1, but it weighs about 637 grams, while this one weighs 420g, so this is awesome because it weighs less and looks better. Also the other review that says it did not make a diff on his cpu, I don't know how that could be, It dropped mine 20C, I think he may have put on too much thermal paste or not installed properly.
