Absolutely SWEEEEET!
Pros: Enough 5.25inch bays to keep your average insane geekophile happy. LOTS of airflow. Light as a feather compared to its brother in black great arrangement of Mobo tray PSU rack external bays internal bays and airflow fans 3 120mm case fans USB and Audio jacks on TOP of the case where you can get to em plus a removable parts drawer(perfect for putting jumper fobs in along with an extra mem stick just in case)
Cons: Mobo tray is fixed rather than detachable for Big PSU's like the Silverstone Zeus 650 you will need to mod the case(drill a hole in the top rail for the PSU Support) otherwise good to go
Overall Review: For the price I havent found a comparable case. go up a hundred or so and some of the Lian Li's and Thermaltakes Tai Chi have some newer features that would be nice but at $xxx the Tai Chi is out of my range but water cooling built in to the case is a GREAT feature
Big Quiet and Fast
Pros: 250GB SATAII @ 3.0Gb/s Easy to install and super easy to put into a RAID array Lots of data storage and at the price i bought 4 and put them into a RAID 0+1 array have had htese for over two months and no noticable defragmentation going on yet though i dont expect it to on a RAID 0+1 Data fairly flies on to and off of the array
Cons: None! Buy these if you need storage ata reasonable price
Outstanding!
Comments: I put two of these in my latest build. It was a pain trying to get it to go into SLI mode because the current nvidia driver that ships with it detects two SLI capable cards as one multi-GPU card! Once you get the right drivers though it leaps into SLI Mode and becomes an Excellent performer on synthetic tests such as 3DMark05 (8048) at 4aa x 4af @ 1280 X 1024 resolution. If my monitor supported 1600 X 1200 it would probably score just as well! DOOM3 is buttery smooth and FarCry races along at better than 110fps this using a 4200 X2 Manchester CPU! Outperforms my single 7800GTX on my other build by about 15% Be warned this card runs a tad on the warm side especially when OC'ed so be prepared to take good measures to cool the cards down. Worth your time AND your money! and of course Newegg got it to me with 3 days to spare Go NewEgg!!
