Pros: Same as "supermankalel" review on 1/31/2007" I am having fits dialing this monitor in and hope after I get a DVI cable that my problems will be history. Not as lucky as most of the lucky reviews posted here because I have 1 (one) stuck pixel at bottom left. Kinda bummed about this defect in my first ever LCD monitor.

Cons: NO DVI CABLE

Overall Review: It chaps me a bit that a DVI cable was not included. I mean it is like buying a brand new car without a speedometer being included. Yes you don't need a speedometer (at least in my state) to get the car inspected but you may get frayed nerves and or a bunch of speeding tickets.

Pros: Came with all the things I was needing for a particular build I was planning. Plus at the time it had much better reviewers ratings left as a guide. Now the ratings (in my eyes) are more inline with the products true overall worthiness. I really did not have problems with the case and front plastic construction as some. And as far as being able to install all the individual components would rate that good. But things can get a little congested around the main power and ide hookups.

Cons: Power Supply!!! Power Supply!!! Power Supply!!! This unit was in use for only 6 to 9 months of actual light use. And the power supply went out. Just like so many of the other reviewers have reported. And it makes you wonder just how poorly these power units really are. Because many people will never take the time to report on their troubles!!!

Overall Review: The price was $50.54 delivered when I bought it in May of 08. I never really saw it on a Newegg sale. As cases like this fall in a specialty category. And either you need them or you don't. I needed for a small cubby hole I needed it so could place my LED monitored on top of it to make up for lack of space. If your mb only has 1 ide hook for the optical drive. And you want to install 2 ide optical drives. It can be hard with the physical layout of the drives in this unit. Because the standard ide cable cannot reach both units. *Also can anyone tell me what is a good replacement power supply unit that will fit and be the correct orientation for this unit?

Decent and Cheap

Pros: I have all ready burned several movies using these and have had no problems. Have used Newegg for several years and find that you may can find a little better price on other sites but they just don't come with as much peace of mind as ordering from Newegg.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: Felt the shipping was much longer then had been in the past. Also they did not bring the package to the door. I was home and they left it on top of my fence post by a very busy road that was hard to see from the house
