Class Act

Pros: Clean easy install. Solid construction. Excellent design and finish. Side panel door has attached thumb screws so no worries about losing them. Plenty of room for all components including my 4870 GPU. Cable management allows for maximum airflow, even with a single 120mm fan.
Cons: My only complaint is I can't set my monitor to sleep mode with this case because I can't tell when the computer is on - It's seriously that quiet. I keep shutting it off when I think I'm turning it on.
Overall Review: For those people who claim they are knowledgable and experienced, and then rate this case poorly because of difficulty with design or insufficient space, stick with your e-machine, because we all know you're incompetent posers.
Save your box

Pros: Worked for awhile, reasonable specs for the price.
Cons: Noticed burning smell after one month, then the smell went away. Six months later the smell came back, then it died. I bought a cheap Rosewill PS at the same time as this one for a budget computer, that one never worked.
Overall Review: Nothing too stressful in the guts of my computer. Biostar 945p, Pentium D 2.66, ATI 1950XT. No RMA without the original box, should have made a mouse holder out of it to keep it around.
Do not buy

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Is not compatible with deal laptops. Received warning that it was not recognized and would not charge. And it didn't. Took battery out unplugged computer, held power button down for 1.5 minutes (two dissipate any residual charges), let computer sit for 2 hrs, put battery back in and plugged in overnight with powering on. Next morning tried it and same message popped up.
Overall Review: OH, btw, you have to pay for return shipping so they know you won't waste your time and money for a $15 bookend. Nice business plan.
Professional opinion

Pros: Incredible bass, makes me think I have a Velodyne subwoofer attached to my head, mid-range and Highs are good, not as good as bass but I bought these for $30.
Cons: Ear muffs are small, after 2 or 3 hours my lobes got a little sore. But if you have a job or a life, this won't be a problem. This is a pro and a con. My Sony MDR's have a coiled connector. Anyone with young kids know that's a plus. My son has twisted, chewed and ran every headphone cable I ever bought. The cord on these are short and solid. Very tough and won't drag on the ground.
Overall Review: I own Sennheiser 201s, 280 pros, and Sony MDR-7506. I love all of them, but I got the 201's for $17, 280 pro's for $70, MDR's for $100. There is no question these Dracco's are the best value.
Stay away from MSI

Pros: It turns on, sometimes.
Cons: I'll try to fit them all in. Horrible battery life, even in power saver mode it lasts about an hour. Horrible keyboard, including key placement, feel and reliability. I've used and built hundreds of laptops and desktops, this is by far the worst keyboard. The 2MP built-in camera is is slower and has less quality than my 7yr old 1.3MP QuickCam, even after updating drivers. Feet on bottom fall off easily. Power button takes three or four pushes to actually turn the laptop on. Horrible viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically. You may as well glue the laptop to your desktop monitor, then bolt it to your wall using a level and a spectrometer. If that's not enough the fan started making noise after 3 months, it does, however, stop making noise when I shut down the computer. Oh yeah, the power brick light stays on for 10 minutes after I unplug it from the wall socket, which means it is unable to dissipate electricity properly. I wish the battery lasted that long.
Overall Review: I paid for a for a Windows 7 upgrade on another MSI laptop, they took my money, failed to mail me the upgrade, and refuse to answer my emails or phone messages. I'm not even going to waste my time trying to get this laptop replaced or fixed. The other reviews say it's good for gaming. They probably upgraded from a V-Tech.
Good but not Great

Pros: Decent functionality. Decent sound quality and transfer speeds.
Cons: When plugging into a usb slot, you have to gently grip the sides of the player while pushing. Holding it any other way results in the battery face plate sliding off. It sounds like an easy enough task to remember, but it's amazing how often the face plate comes off, and how angry you get with each incident. By far the worst design from an engineering standpoint.
