Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 - Core 2 Quad Yorkfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - BX80580Q8400

Pros: Bought about a year ago. Has run solid since my initial build. Stock cooler seemed a bit flimsy and a bit loud, replaced as I planned on so not really a con to me.

Cons: the price seems a bit high now considering the new processors are reasonably close to this processor.

Pros: -Looks Great -Tons of room for additions (fans, hard drives, etc.) -Good Air Flow -Low Price!

Cons: -Somewhat thin metal, which I read from other reviews so was expecting. But I didn't experience dents from shipping or easily bendable side panels. -HDD light is very dim, can't see it at all with my case on the floor. But who really cares.

Overall Review: I love the cable management in this case. The only thing I was unable to hide was my 24 pin connector, but I routed it in a fairly empty space behind the graphics card so it isn't noticeable or obstructing air flow. I found having to mount my HDD backwards in the bay kind of strange but it ended up cleaning up cables in the case by eliminating the HDD cables. Would be annoying if you swap hard drives a lot, but I don't. Planning on adding 5 120mm fans once they arrive. Will update with the noise level of the case and increase in cooling after installing.

Pros: Used for about a year now and runs solid, no loose connectors which I have run into with some other low price PSU's after replacing or adding drives. Runs very quiet.

Cons: none
