Misunderstood and Maligned

Pros: -Gorgeous! This is probably the prettiest addition you will ever make to any computer case. -Fan control is intuitive -Temperature sensors are small, easily hidden and accurate -Alarm is almost too quiet -Automatic fan control works very well. Manual is fine, but if you don’t know what your doing you can ruin a fan by overdriving it.
Cons: -A whole lot of wires going on. -Provided tape for the temp sensors doesn't work.
Overall Review: This is one of those case mods that takes T I M E to do properly. Get a cup of coffee, strip your case down to bare metal, wash it thoroughly and take your time putting this in. Once the cables are dressed and taped down (use cloth gaffers tape, black- if you can find it- it’s sticky as duct tape but made of cloth and disappears inside a black case) you'll have a thing of beauty. Place the sensors by the appropriate fan intakes (not outflow) so your readings mean something. Install, when done properly, should take a few hours. But once it’s done you’ll really have something nice. NZXT has been improving this product over the years and you can see their missteps documented in the older reviews. I am glad I waited to buy this, because the product is fairly well perfected. I’d recommend this to anyone who 1: wants a really cool looking functional mod and 2: has the patience to install it properly.
Don't bother

Pros: Nice looking green fan
Cons: -Doesn't work -No LEDs -No four pin adapter
Overall Review: RMA'd this morning. I tried this on several different pins, known good on several different computer motherboards. Don't bother.
Lian Le A3 lookalike

Pros: -Less expensive, slightly bigger and preferable controls/ port placement -Wood front is a nice touch. -Filtered side vents are another nice touch. -Four included fans are nice. -Magnetic side glass capture is very nice -I like this case and its layout. Be aware of what you are buying. Could be a positive or a negative.
Cons: -Less expensive means no rubber grommets, but rolled edges are nice. -No fan hub. It's a DIY case so no surprise but if you're going to include four fans, add a hub. knocked off an egg for this.
Overall Review: -Case is capable of being a beautiful build with either RBG or not. Adding a hub would really add to the value with little added cost ($12 USD) -This can be mistaken for a Lian Le A3. at half the price.
Very Affective

Pros: - this product is used to provide heat conduction between a heat sink and the power modules in a graphics card. - It does this very well. -I repasted an RTX-2070 and brought the card back to functional.
Cons: -Make sure you have the width you need, there are several choices. -Removing the heat sink on your graphics card will invalidate any warranty that is in affect. I bought my card from a mining operation, so there was no warranty.
Overall Review: This is a premium product and I would recommend it to anyone in a similar situation.
Good gaming mouse

Pros: -Great "daily driver" -Adjustable weight and tracking speed -RGB is good -Programmable controls -Swappable side plate
Cons: -Feels cheap
Overall Review: - I have been using this mouse for about a year now, still works like it's out of the box.
Excellent choice

Pros: - Price point -Very quiet -Good overall build quality - Three included fans are functional -Good airflow, considering low noise -Location of controls on side a plus for me, but not everyone.
Cons: -Fans could have been better made but for cost are sufficient -No RGB (could be a plus for some) -Build quality could be improved, but is sufficient
Overall Review: -Overall, at this price point, this is about the best quiet case I've found. Sure, Fractal and Corsair have (much) better... at three times the price. Everything is good enough, but not the best. I was very pleasantly surprised that Antec put thought into a less expensive product with this many features. The side mounted controls are perfect for me, but not for everyone.

Packaging was suspect.
The seller reused an old tattered USPS box, resulting in the USB transceiver falling out of the box on my porch.
Its a hard drive
It works.
Does the job, as advertised.
If you need this adapter, it will work for you.
