Pros: Very high build quality. Most aluminum edges on the case are rolled, so you don't slice your hand open moving parts around. Plenty of USB ports and the surround sound is great.

Cons: Pricey, but for buying a nice case, P35 motherboard, and power supply, it isn't a bad deal.

Overall Review: Running a Q6600, 4GB Corsair 800 ram, 8800GT video, Addonics PCI raid card, and DVD-RW without a problem.

Pros: Decent transfer speeds, 32mb cache

Cons: On a Gigabyte 965P-GS3 motherboard, the onboard RAID controller and PCI RAID controller would not see the full size of the disk. It only showed 33MB instead of 900GB+. Had to find a non-Samsung utility to restore the drive to a proper state where it would show the full TB of storage space.

Pros: Rich feature set, gorgeous aesthetics.

Cons: I wish there would have been a second included M.2 heatsink. Thunderbolt port would've been nicer than a header.

Overall Review: I came from an ASUS Z270 board to this MSI Z490 and wasn't sure how it would compare with overclocking. Overall, I do like the performance tuning options more in the UEFI. Stability has been great. The board is gorgeous and the feature set is better than competitors at the same price segment.

Pros: Based on a great AMD GPU

Cons: Fan stopped working within 3 months, causing the card to overheat and shut down Windows. The card is dual slot, but the heatsink design recycles the air back into the case and not out the back.

Overall Review: Ridiculous RMA process handled by a third party with a 30 days turn around time. Would not buy from HIS again.

Pros: Works great, no complaints on my i7 system.

Cons: No heat spreaders, but I've yet to see how they'd be effective if you're not overclocking this RAM

Overall Review: Runs on my i7 920 and MSI x58 Platinum w/o a hitch.

Pros: I like the raised design, so there is no interference with other components on the motherboard. One of the few new i7 compatible coolers that looks good. There are some awful looking coolers from Asus out there. There's a lot of CPU mounting brackets with this cooler. I had absolutely NO fitment problems with this cooler on an MSI x58 Platinum motherboard. But, as another reviewer noted, you may need an additional set of hands to mount that back brace.

Cons: Pricey, very tall. You have to remove the motherboard to mount the cooler.

Overall Review: This CPU cooler will fit in an Antec 300 case, but it presses against the side slightly. I currently have my i7 920 running at 3.7Ghz with a voltage increase of .1V on the BClk and QPI. I ran the fan on the slowest speed for the first two days of OCing accidently and never had a problem, so the cooling fan is very efficient. With the CPU fan cranked all the way up now, I can't hear it over the rest of the Antec case fans running on Medium.
