Pros: After adding and removing about half a dozen cases from my shopping cart, I went with the 400R. Man, am I glad I did. First, there's the overall aesthetic of the case. This thing looks great. Solidly constructed, simple elegant lines, minimalist, but sexy. Everything about the construction of the case is top notch, from the sturdy handle at the top, to the fully painted interior with ample rubber grommets for cable management, tool-less drive bays and dust filters for the front panel fans and the power supply. The case is roomy too. And there are more cooling options available then I'll ever need for my rig. This build was not only one of the easiest I've ever done, but one of the fastest, and the most pleasurable. Solid craftsmanship, good looks, tons of room for future expansion. I don't usually go for LEDs and the like, but the white fan lights in the front of the case are really eye catching. For those who don't want the distraction though, there's a switch to turn

Cons: I really can't think of one. Whatever small issues I had with my build were not due to the case. Everything about this thing just worked/clicked into place.

Overall Review: This thing runs pretty cool with just the stock fans and my Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus. I had intended to buy 4 more fans for the side panel and top, but so far, my temps aren't requiring any more airflow. I'll be using this case for future builds, and will be keeping an eye on all of Corsair's cases from here on out.

Pros: Beautiful form factor. Nicely priced. HDMI

Cons: Monitor wobbles. Light bleed from behind, particularly the lower half of the monitor. Dead pixel.

Overall Review: I really love the design of this monitor, and I like the features it offers at this price, but the bottom half of the screen is washed out from backlight. No amount of fussing with the settings can rectify it. And it has a dead pixel just left of center which is quite possibly the worst place to have one. Impossible to ignore. Looks like I am still in the market for a monitor and will be returning this one for a refund.

Pros: Nicely priced. Decent speed. Reliable.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: This is my second purchase of the same drive. I bought one a little over a year ago for a new build. The drive offers substantial storage and decent read/write speeds for a mechanical drive, and is a solid, reliable choice. Hard to go wrong with this drive.

Pros: Wow. This monitor is beautiful. It's big and glossy, and just looks fantastic. The picture is crisp, the colors are deep and rich, and the blacks are truly black (something you don't get too often with backlit displays). No dead pixels, no ghosting. Playing Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 on ultra settings and everything looks stunning. Blu rays look truly fantastic.

Cons: None, really. The screen is glossy, so there is some glare and you may want to consider where you set up the lamps in your room so as to lessen reflections. Still, not enough to take off an egg, as the overall quality of the picture is so great.

Overall Review: I had originally purchased the Gateway FHX2402Lbid, and although I loved the form factor of that monitor, it arrived with a dead pixel, and light bleed on the bottom half of the screen that was so severe it made watching movies or playing games a real chore. It also shipped without the HDMI cable that is listed as included. I returned it for a refund and picked this beauty up for only $10 more and am so happy that I did.

Pros: Great power supply. Super efficient and super quiet. Modular.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: My first modular power supply, and I'll never go back. What a pleasure only having to deal with the cables I need. Did I mention this thing is super quiet?

Pros: This processor is just blazing fast. Nothing I've thrown at it seems to trip it up or even tie up all cores for more than a few seconds.

Cons: None.
