Pros: ONLY VENDOR who's producing 32GB ECC UDIMMS.

Cons: Never heard of this vendor before, was anxious about build quality.

Overall Review: I ran 2.5 runs of memtest86 on these as part of my new system's burn-in, and I saw no errors. I'm using 4 of these to max out the memory on a Ryzen 7 3700x system. So far so good. I reserve the right to lower the rating on this if they don't work long-term, but again, so far so good.

Pros: If you want windows, I suppose it's worth it.

Cons: Per the review from Anonymous, this is BIOS-wired to only boot from the supplied NVMe M.2 SSD. I have no cycles or werewithal to install my non-Windows OS on this thing by doing an NVMe M.2 SSD transplant.

Overall Review: DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU WANT THE BUILT-IN WINDOWS.

Pros: Fits microATX quite well. Well-designed, with room for 3 2.5" drives. 3.5" drive brackets are also well-designed for easy insertion/removal. Tons of room for fans.

Cons: UPDATED: Poor documentation about 3.5" airflow. (Considered taking off a star for this.) Room for 4 3.5" drives instead of just 2?

Overall Review: UPDATED (original review below): It is CRITICAL that if you're running with two 3.5" drives you must insure proper airflow reaches them. For 2 years I've had problems during ZFS pool scrubs where the machine would spontaneously reboot without diagnostics of any sort. Turns out it was the drives overheating and likely the motherboard just resetting without diagnostics. If running a pair of 3.5" drives (like in a home server), IT IS CRITICAL to 1.) 'Remove the PSU shroud plate' per the instructions 2.) '...Relocate the bottom 3.5" drive cage' after removing the plate, enough so that the front fan can drop to the bottom and push air over the drives. 3.) Add an additional 120mm fan OR move the supplied one down to the very bottom of the case so that the drives get cooling from the fan, and the heat escapes up where the PSU shroud plate used to be. Not only did my most recent scrub not cause a machine reset, it finished AN HOUR less than the prior scrub, likely thanks to no heat-driven slowdowns of the drives themselves. Future scrubs and backups will confirm or deny this. I will try and put an UPDATE 2 here with confirmation or denial. ----------------- I'm nitpicking with the cons. I went with this case because I wanted something suited for microATX, without the displacement of a full ATX mini-tower. I don't usually run more than a pair of 3.5" drives anyway. Great design & cooling, and while I didn't seek out the glass panel, it's kinda nice.

Pros: Noctua support is fantastic Definitely works with my tightly-fitted motherboard.

Cons: Maybe I overbought?

Overall Review: I could've put in one of the higher-wattage Ryzens and this would've kept it nice and cool too. My motherboard (ASRock Rack X470D4U) put its DIMM slots a little too close to the CPU socket. Luckily, Noctua gives you the tools and spacers to make sure you give the RAM the clearance it needs. Noctua support was great in answering my questions, too. Their reputation is well-deserved.

Cons: pricey?

Overall Review: You can't go wrong with this generation of Intel GigE.

Pros: What everyone else said that is good.

Cons: Runs a little hotter than I thought it would, eh.

Overall Review: I'm on the third iteration of my home server. 12 years ago I built around an AMD Opteron 185, 6 years ago I lowered power consumption and built around a (couldn't get at Newegg) Xeon E3-1265L v3. I've raised power consumption again somewhat, but chose to build around this 3700x. I'm very happy with it thus far... ooh look, it just finished a complete everything build of illumos-gate in 30mins! Yeah, this should serve me well for the next 6 years.
