Excellent performer with compromises

Pros: Amazing cooling, Quiet, Room for tall cpu coolers and long graphics cards. Top IO is much easier to work with than rear IO. Solid aluminum panels are of great quality. Built in 3 speed fan controllers(even though they are only labeled H and L).
Cons: Very limited storage space. 2 2.5" bays(on backside of motherboard panel), 2 3.5" bays, unless you have a long PSU. If your psu is too long then you will need to remove it to have it fit. back side panel fits so close there is not much room for wiring.
Overall Review: I removed the fans on my silver arrow, using just the 2 180mm case fans and it cools better than my HAF X with fans on it. My gpu runs cooler than in my HAF X also, and it is not a blower style cooler, which would be optimal.
Best card for the money

Pros: Amazing preformance for much less than Nvidia's cards. Can run CoD4/Grid at 1680x1050 max 4xAA max AF always 50+ FPS. Single slot card so it doesent take up the slot below it also.
Cons: If you dont change the fanspeed manually with a config this is very hot. I changed the fanspeed up to 65% and it droped 30 Degrees Celsius.
Overall Review: Best card for the money. Better than 9800GTX and for about the same price.
Great case for cheap

Pros: This case is pretty spacious. Lots of HDD mounts and optical drive mounts. Big enough to get larger cards inside. Gets great airflow. Comes with 3 120mm fans that have 3 speeds each.
Cons: The USB and audio jacks on the front are hard to tell when it is actually plugged in.
Overall Review: Looks nice and preforms well. the PSU mounts at the bottom so if your PSU cables are short they may not reach to the motherboard.
Great value Ram

Pros: Works prefectly for me so far. I have an E8400 C'd to 3.3ghz and so far the system is completely stable and runs fine. This is pretty cheap for 4GB of DDR2 1000 ram.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: [email protected] ghz, Sapphire 4850, DFI DK Lanparty P45, All runs fine so far with no issues at all.
Good and cheap

Pros: Cheap, big, many expansion slots for PCI cards and optical drives and HD's. Came with 2 80MM fans. No cooling issues.
Cons: A little hard to put the front fan in. Not the greatest looking either. Only 1 120mm fan slot.
Overall Review: I bought this at a local store on sale and it has been great. I recommends it to anyone who just needs a case on a budget and doesn't care to much about looks.
Great card for the price

Pros: This card is cheap, i didnt expect to get a great card for such little money. I can run TF2/HL:EP2 on max 2xAA 4xAF at 1440x900, CoD4 on medium at 1440x900, Can run crysis on medium/low and still get great FPS.
Cons: There doesen't seem to be a temperature sensor built into the card.
Overall Review: Amd Athlon 64 2800+ 1.8GHZ 1.5GB DDR PC3200 G.Skill RAM
