Most Critical Review

One fatal flaw

ARK CF439B Black Aluminum 4U Rackmount Server Case 350W (PEAK 390W) 3 External 5.25" Drive Bays
ARK CF439B Black Aluminum 4U Rackmount Server Case 350W (PEAK 390W) 3 External 5.25" Drive Bays

Pros: Three fans. Accomodates large mobo. Accomodates 3/5 inch drives and floppy. Spacious. Durable.

Cons: The 3 in hard drive space is so cramped that it is impossible to cram the drives in. They just won't fit and there's nothing else to do. This one issue makes the entire case unusable. Very poor engineering. Do this manufacturer try to use it's own cases, at least for testing????????

Overall Review: Try Circotech

Pros: Fast. No issues. Works with my Tyan server board.

Cons: none

Very good chip

AMD Athlon 64 FX-74 - Athlon 64 FX Windsor Dual-Core 3.0 GHz Socket F (1207 FX) 125W Processor - ADAFX74DIBOX

Pros: Purchased 3 pairs and they worked perfectly. They do not run hot because I keep them in a room at a steady 65 degrees. They run cool with the heat sinks provided (which also snap in very easily). They are very fast.

Cons: None
