Pros: where to start, sturdy, well built, Plenty of room for expansion, lots of room for cable management (my PSU has lots of cables and most are unused in my current configuration and it ended up being misprinted as modular(has since been fixed)... no big deal due to the extent of thought that NZXT put into cable management, plus i fit all fan wires except side fan cable just because its not necessary, front panel AND header cables), included fans are nearly inaudible, filters on PSU intake vent as well as both front intake fans plus all external bay covers have individual foam filters, vibration reducing rubber isolators/supports for PSU, love the speaker grille style mesh 5.25 bay and expansion slot covers beautifully done NZXT, good price for all the features

Cons: double filtration in the front kind of negates the LED effect of the fans but since i temporarily have my build set up in my bedroom it works out good (doesnt keep the woman awake), and the foam filters are removable so when i move it to my media/game room they will be removed included manual (more like leaflet) is garbage, get it from NZXT website in pdf format http://www.nzxt.com/downloads/tempest_evo/ only blue LED option, plenty of aftermarket options however so not really a con just a gripe

Overall Review: if you're anything like me you'll wanna grab a tape measure before you assume you can visualize exactly how big this monster is, was very surprised when i got that knock on the door and he set it on my porch Build Specs stage 1 Case: NZXT Tempest Evo PSU: OCZ Fatality series 700 Watt Motherboard: Asus M4A78T-E GPU: AMD 790GX onboard with 128MB sideport plus 512MB RAM allocated for graphics use (ATI Radeon HD 3300) CPU: (socket AM3) AMD Phenom II X2 550 3.1 GHz Callisto Black Edition (Quad Core unlocked) RAM: OCZ (2x2GB) 1600MHz DDR3 AMD Black Edition Ready CL8 dual channel kit OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit retained a 120GB PATA Maxtor diamondmax and Lite-On DVD/CD burner from my old comp due to my overshooting $500 budget for the build by about $100 a small temporary sacrifice to have the brands and components i wanted. Accessories: New Car Scent tree hanging in the case to cover up the new computer PVC bleach smell emitted due to the massive airflow

Pros: great for a quad core budget build when coupled with AMD southbridge chipsets equipped with Advanced Clock Calibration (google AMD core unlocking) saved me some money on a quad which in turn allowed for less compromise elsewhere heatsink has pre-installed thermal compound, fan is relatively quiet

Cons: none

Overall Review: quad unlocked on stock cooling with auto settings in bios and stable after 3 days actually dropped CPU temp slightly upon quad unlocking Build Specs stage 1 Case: NZXT Tempest Evo PSU: OCZ Fatality series 700 Watt Motherboard: Asus M4A78T-E GPU: AMD 790GX onboard with 128MB sideport plus 512MB RAM allocated for graphics use (ATI Radeon HD 3300) CPU: (socket AM3) AMD Phenom II X2 550 3.1 GHz Callisto Black Edition (Quad Core unlocked) RAM: OCZ (2x2GB) 1600MHz DDR3 AMD Black Edition Ready CL8 dual channel kit OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit retained a 120GB PATA Maxtor diamondmax and Lite-On DVD/CD burner from my old comp due to my overshooting $500 budget for the build by about $100 a small temporary sacrifice to have the brands and components i wanted.

Pros: lots of power, more connections than you could shake a stick at, very quiet, 80 plus certified, red LED fan gives off nice ambience, not pink or orange looking like most "red" LEDs, Fatal1ty window on side thats lit up red by the LED fan pretty sylish if you dont have a bottom mount PSU chassis, although in my case thats fine too looks nice from a high angle to the side window, gives the build more depth and character lol. comes with pre-installed shrink tubed red cable sheathing providing a nice custom touch for that clean look with no additional effort

Cons: none thanks to extensive cable management in my case (was listed as modular when i purchased, but no big deal) see my NZXT Tempest Evo review for more details
