wow

Pros: completely underappreciated psu. high efficiency, good clean power. even includes 2 6-pin headers for hungry power cards (1 header even includes 2 extra-pins for the newest 8-pin gpu cards). the psu is so smart it even detects voltage w/o a switch on the back.
Cons: none.
Overall Review: i have mine powering a p45 motherboard, e8500, 4gb ram, 2 sata 250gb harddrives, 2 sata lg dvd burners, a power hungry evga 9800 gtx+, 5 fans, and a wireless card.
best case i've ever bought

Pros: no stupid LEDs and plexi-glass windows. no sharp edges. plenty of external and internal drive bays. TONS of fans and i mean TONS (includes 1 120mm and 1 140mm - you will need 3 120mm to complete this badboy properly). comes with proper mounting hardware for your oem drives.
Cons: i'm torn. i like the psu being on the bottom of the case (less top-heavy and doesn't blow hot air on your cpu), but some psu cables will have to really stretch to connect to fans, mobo, dvd drives, etc.
Overall Review: i coupled mine with a FSB Blue Storm II 500w power supply (also highly recommended). price has dropped so even better.
underappreciated

Pros: do not buy a x48 or x58 unless you are buying a cpu with a 1600fsb (which many of you are not). this board does away with pata and legacy connections (although there are headers on the board for a serial port). gives you plenty of sata and usb for modern computers and supports 8gb of ram. all this for at least $50 cheaper than the x48.
Cons: has the case headers (power, reset, hd led, power led) right in line with the primary pci-e slot. avoid long graphics cards when using this board. second pci-e slot is in line with the sata headers.
Overall Review: if you MUST have a long graphics card, make it sure it is seated properly. in my case the wires for buttons and leds prevented the card from seating 100% (works properly though).
good deal

Pros: good deal for the price. includes nero essentials and a sata cable.
Cons: none
Overall Review: buy two?
future proof

Pros: 300mbs/sec!! fully "n" network compatible. vista 64 compatible. tiny little card on your mobo.
Cons: none

Pros: blazing fast clock and fsb for cheap. do not buy q6600 unless you are using applications that are written for multi-core cpus. low wattage and low heat make this prime for overclocking.
Cons: stock fan/heatsink. tips: you DO NOT need a screwdriver to install this fan. simply push pins firmly through the mobo (with slots facing the center). screwdriver only required to remove the fan/heatsink.
Overall Review: why intel would keep such a useless heatsink design alive for years is beyond me.
