Pros: Works Looks good

Cons: None

Overall Review: Exactly what I needed. Plugged into motherboard, secured to the case bottom by drilling two holes and running a zip tie around the back end of the plug. I'm running FreeNAS off a flash drive and didn't want it sticking out of my case where it could be pulled out, knocked out, stolen, whatever.

Pros: Worked first time - powered up, recognized, no problem.

Cons: None. I'd have been happier if it were cheaper, but not really a con. I suppose we should be thankful that Patriot is still supporting our older, out-dated projects.

Overall Review: I used two sticks of these on an old ASUS P4SD-LA socket 478 motherboard pulled from a 2004ish HP desktop for a FreeNAS build. Did the trick, went from 512mb to 2gigs.

Pros: Does what it's supposed to.

Cons: Messy. (My fault, not Arctic Silver's)

Overall Review: For the first time builders, swing by Arctic SIlver's website and read the instructions. They recommend different methods of application depending on the family of CPU you're using.

Pros: -Cheap (purchased for $25) -Good styling -4 internal 3.5 HDD slots.

Cons: -Can't think of any. One that' I'm thinking of is cheap hardware, but what do you expect, it's a cheap case. (I re-used hardware from the old HP case who's guts were removed and installed in this APEX case for a FreeNAS build. Also twisted out all the expansion slot blanks and re-used the screw-in type from the old HP case.

Overall Review: Thank you Newegg reviewers who mentioned the 120mm fan. I purchased a fan at the same time so I was ready to install when my order arrived. I had no troubles installing it. Take a flat head screwdriver and "pop" off the front panel. Slide the fan in place from inside, through the HDD cage. I had to relocate the "beeper", however that was no problem as there are about 4 other mounting spots for it. Over all, a great case for the money. I bought this as a temporary case for a FreeNAS build, eventually it will be transferred to a rackmount chassis. As long as you know going in, that this is a cheap case, you should be happy.
