White leds aren't that white
Pros: Good air-flow and dBa
Cons: the white led is kinda purplish. the 80mm version is alot whiter.
Doesn't cool my dell 4700
Pros: -fan control speed -Rotateable fan
Cons: While one side of the fan is blowing air around, the fan right next to it is blowing all that air out. it is also bulky and feels like its going to break when you install it.
Overall Review: This fan did not solve my dell 4700 heat issue. the only good it did was lower my graphics card a few degrees.
Great Burner
Pros: This burner is very fast, i have yet to burn at 20x as well, but you need 20x dvd's to burn that fast.
Cons: Can get loud, but what dvd burner doesn't?
Overall Review: I can see future problems with the tray sliding out already. It doesn't eject smoothly like my previous burners. So i can guess it will be a problem in a year or so from now.
Great case but HEAVY
Pros: this is probably the best case i have ever owned. They are shipping the Revised 1.1 editions that have a raised motherboard for cable management and 2 fan controllers on the back. i used to buy those cheap cooler master cases, but this one tops it all. it has lots of room to work with and has separate chambers to cool effectively. i really like the built in fan filters on the front. they are removable and easy to clean.
Cons: This thing is really heavy, I'm not exaggerating. with all my components in it, it's about 80 lbs. its a hassle to take to my friends house or even to the front room to work on. another con would be that it's hard to fit a 120mm fan in the lower hdd bay. i heard you have to get 120x120x20 to get it to fit, which isn't standard. It also has a 3-pin power LED which is not standard on motherboards so i can't plug it into my evga 680i. Lastly, make sure your psu has long cables, if you want to run the cables behind the motherboard , they will need to be long.
Overall Review: Make sure your PSU has long cables, otherwise you will have to run them through the case, not around the back of the raised motherboard. I currently have a q6600 g0 idling at 45c, 2gb ballistix ram, evga 680i, x850xtpe, CM 550 Xtreme power. If you're in the market for a new case, consider this one. its a great case that wont let you down, i will use it for years.
Good for first build
Pros: -Not heavy -120mm intake AND exhaust -Nice mesh/air filter built-in -Front Audio/USB -Removable Front Bezel -5 5.25" bays -2 3.5" bays -Can Add 80mm fan to the side's Airduct and VENT
Cons: -The only thing i dislike about this case is the PCI SLOTS. They have a stupid tool-less design that doesn't seem sturdy. I even cut myself on the steel slots after removing the guard. It also leaves an oily finger print everytime you touch it.
Overall Review: Used this case for my first build. -asrock CONROEXFIRESATA2 -p4 3.0 prescott -1.5gb ddr2 ram -500watt ULTRA psu -x850xt PE PCI-E -1x120mm front and rear, 2x80mm on side. (the bottom vent holes can fit an 80mm fan perfectly.) -The front audio/usb/power switch wires confused me cuz of the individual outputs for each i.e (beep sound, hdd light, power switch, etc). i had to spend 30 minutes reading my motherboard guide since i'm no electrician.
very nice
Pros: Very good n' bright white.
Cons: starting to turn off for some reason, so i just jiggle the wire to turn it back on.
