Great uATX case
Pros: Great case. Excellent cooling especially with that 200 mm fan on top. Love the black interior. No sharp edges and excellent build quality. Some of the best cable management features I have seen in a case.
Cons: They should have made it a few inches deeper. I am running dual XFX 4850 GPU's in this thing and had to take out the lower drive cage. The same goes for if you have a single GPU that is of a slightly longer length (which includes most gaming video cards). This seams to be a common issues reported on review sites.
Overall Review: As stated above, if they made the case a few inches deeper it would have given a little more room to work and allow you to keep all drive bays intact. I also would have liked to have been able to put front case fans on without having to give up a drive bay. However, since the lower drive bay was removed to allow space for the video cards, I was able to do so anyways.
More memory is always better
Pros: Memory paired well with the existing 6 GB of PC 1066 (O.C.ed to 1333) that I had installed a couple of years ago when I first built my i7 rig. Installed this memory, rebooted my PC and it was up and running with the full 18 GB (12 GB new plus 6 GB existing). Now I can run all of those Virtual Machines without starving them for memory.
Cons: None I can think of.
Overall Review: Added two new virtual machines after installing the memory. I've got a Windows 8 Consumer Preview (where I'm typing this review from) and a Windows 8 Server system that I joined to my 2008R2 domain and prompted as a new Domain Controller. All is working well even AD replication.
Works Great!
Pros: Connected without issue. Worked great with pairing of Wiimotes to my desktop. Also worked without issue with my BlackBerry phone
Cons: None
Fits the bill
Pros: Plenty of cables. Fit the bill. Runs cool and quite. I like the black sheathing around the cables.
Cons: Motherboard and CPU lines were not long enough for my Antec Mini P180 case. I had to purchase extensions in order to route it properly in the case.
Overall Review: To the person who rated this thing 2 eggs for lack of the -5V rail. Please note this is a ATC12V v2.3 PSU. If you look at the specifications you will so that: ATX12V v2.01 This is a minor revision from June 2004. The -5 V rail was completely removed from the specification. So, that would be the reason why it was not there. Shouldn't dock them from your lack of understanding.
WOW
Pros: All I can say is WOW. Been playing Quake 4 and WOW and they both look phenominal. I work with 30" Dell monitors all day, but honestly I really like these monitors
Cons: A little on the bright side, but that can be fixed easily. Honestly, I think the price makes this monitor a steal compared to others of the same size.
Overall Review: I have heard all the issues in regards to mouse lag and I don't see any difference than my 17" LCD I had before. I think people have formed a conspiracy against this monitor. No lag whatsoever. Plays 1080P video beautifully as well. Neighbors are jealous and they want one now.
