Pros: This case is GIGANTIC! There is plenty of room to cram lots of fans in to this case and use thick radiators for water cooling. This case does have the aim of containing a complete water cooled system. The lighting isn't extreme and fits in nicely with the aestetics of the case design. Being that I ordered the Black/Red case, the LED stripe along the front right and top right match (I was concerned that I would have to replace the LEDs until I lit them up).

Cons: A couple of issues that I have found: - The biggest issue (and made me consider packing this case back up and sending it back) was the primary PSU location. There should be no reason I should need to use my knee to press my PSU to align three of the four screw holes to secure the PSU. This is due to some failure to check that the one piece motherboard tray and lower case divider was properly aligned and fit in place. The result was that only the lower left screw hole aligned properly and the other three holes did not line up (the top of the PSU ends up being pushed outward because of the single piece tray). This will cause issues should I have to replace the PSU when this build is completed. This alone knocks an egg off the rating. - The release mechanism for the toolless 5.25" drive bays is CHEAP! I installed a burner in the lowest drive bay, then changed my mind on location. When pressing the release so I could relocate the drive, the mechanism popped off! The plastic pins this pivots on are too short and the whole thing pops off with little effort. - As mentioned by others, Phanteks cheaped out on fan dampening on four of the five included case fans. - Some of the screws on the case are difficult to remove and install due to the paint. This is fixable by working the screws a few times to remove the paint from the screw holes.

Overall Review: I purchased this case to replace the CM HAF Xb Evo I was originally going to use for a new build, just so I could keep everything internal. The PSU issue is a big concern especially if I have to replace the PSU after this is built.

Pros: Easy to set up. Doesn't take up much room.

Cons: Preview and Scan both produce a verticle line along the scan. It appears to be about two-thirds of the way from the left edge.

Overall Review: I purchased this to scan comic book covers. With the vertical line, my scans are useless. There does not appear to be any physical defects in regards to the platen glass, and I made sure to clean it. This is wasting my time and money.

Pros: - Very spacious case, making it easy to work in. - Multiple setup options. - Multiple spots to install SSD drives. - Cable management - easy to route and secure cables, though I did have to remove the bottom hard drive cages to fit some of my longer power supply cables (though not a con as I don't need them for my setup). - Fairly light case (compared to my previous case, the Phanteks Enthoo Primo).

Cons: - None

Overall Review: Bought this case to replace the Phanteks Enthoo Primo case I was previously using for my gaming rig (I ended up really hating that case, especially working in it). This is not only better laid out than the Enthoo Primo, but setting up a water cooling loop is much easier, along with loop maintenance (the loop fill port install position at the top of the case is a nice plus). I wish this case was available when I built my gaming rig a couple of years ago. The different case setup options now has me thinking of getting another Define 7 XL case and using the server setup option to create a data storage system (rackmount systems aren't much of an option in an apartment).

Pros: GINORMOUS monitor with lots of connections! For the most part, setup was a breeze (see cons for the exceptions). PC hooked up via DVI looks great @ 2560x1600 (even with an aTi HD 2400 XT card), as well as the PS3 and Xbox 360 via HDMI @ 1080p.

Cons: Touch controls for menu are more than a pain to use since more often than not they don't acknowledge anything, and this is where i knock an egg off since you can't use the remote to do the inital set up (but once things are running, you can use the remote to navigate the menu...go figure). EzTune seems to crash on me, but I'd more than likely blame my computer than the software itself (only checked under Vista Home Premium 32-bit). The huge power brick can be worrisome for those with limited space to work with (roughly on par with the Xbox 360 power brick), but may not bother others.

Overall Review: When others say it's warm, they aren't kidding at all. I felt heat immediately around it after only 5 minutes of operation. Haven't experienced the black out that others have (only has blacked out on me when going from one video source to another, but that is normal), at least yet.

Pros: Got this kit to bump up the amount of RAM in my computer (from 1 GB). Definate improvement despite what's the only "con" I deal with. Vista Home Premium is definately more responsive (for me anyways) with 3 GB total. NewEgg has been a pleasure to deal with so far.

Cons: Underclocked to DDR2 533 because of the original 1GB of RAM being at that rate...but got another Corsair kit on the way so this shouldn't be a problem then.

Overall Review: Installed in an HP Pavilion a1723w.
