Pros: -Gorgeous appearance with black, brushed, aluminium -Fits a regular ATX power supply -Fits most video cards -Holds 2x 5.25" drives and 2x Hard drives with ease -2x 120mm fans up front to keep things cool -Slide out motherboard tray with thumbscrews -Convenient USB2.0/1394/Audio ports on the left side

Cons: -Side panels are held on by 6 soft-aluminum screws that can strip easily -With no way to open the top of the case, trying to connect fans and various case headers (such as USB and audio headers) can be very difficult depending on your motherboards layout

Overall Review: I have been using this case for several years now and absolutely love it. The design is so nice that I enjoy having it in my living room to show off. My only real wish for a redesign of this case would be to design the side panels more like a standard case so they can easily be held on with 2 thumbscrews and pivot off for removal. Some tips for prospective buyers: -When shopping for a power supply get a modular one -Also when looking at photos of them trying to figure out which one will fit this case, look for one that is close to the same size as the 120mm fan mounted in the power supply. -Don't buy a video card that is taller than the mounting bracket on the rear of it -Check video card lengths carefully as well -Get some fan extension cables to make life easier when trying to connect the various fans to the motherboard -Get a 'Y' cable for fans to power them from a molex power connector, odds are you will have more fans than there are headers on your motherboard

Pros: Solid steel construction. Easy to remove parts you don't need like hard drive trays and the 5.25" bay. Plenty of room for tucking cables out of the way. Plenty of cooling options. Horizontal motherboard mount.

Cons: All 4 screw mounting points on the left side for the top and bottom handles arrived broken. Opened a ticket with Bitfenix over a week ago and still have not heard back despite their claim of a 2 business day response time. Ended up sending the case back to where I bought it from for a refund. From researching this issue it appears these cases have had this issue with broken handles since they were first launch well over a year ago and still have not been revised to fix.

Overall Review: Really disappointed as I was looking forward to doing a build with this case but Bitfenix customer service completely let me down with their lack of response. Thankfully the site I bought it from (not here) honored their return policy and took it back.

Pros: -Small -Silent -Connections for 4 drives: 2 nvme, 2 SATA -Wifi included

Cons: The power supply (brick) has two flaws: the connector that plugs in to the system has a 90 degree connector that prevents the cable from going cleanly behind it, the other flaw is the power brick puts out a lot of EMF radiation that interferes with the Wifi. One other problem is the motherboard plate does not have a cutout on the rear for installing a 3rd part heatsink rear bracket, you have to take the motherboard out and then reinstall it.

Overall Review: If you experience any problems with Wifi make sure you place the brick on the floor away from the system. I hope that Asrock makes another of these Deskmini's with a revised power brick that uses a straight plug instead of 90 degree and has a cutout on the bottom of the motherboard plate for installing an APU heatsink rear bracket.

Pros: Small and compact device, fits into a laptop USB port with ease but is wide so it may block adjacent ports. The dongle also has an indicator light to show connectivity. Installation on Windows 8 was a simply matter of plugging it in to the laptop. Drivers automatically installed and the laptop automatically switched over to using the dongle. Wireless connections managed through the standard Windows 8 wireless control panel. Nothing needed to be installed manually for it to work.

Cons: A little wide so it may block adjacent USB ports on a laptop.

Overall Review: For the price I am extremely happy with this purchase. I went from getting 3-4 bars of signal strength to getting a full 5 bars constant. Installation on Win8 was a breeze (literally just plug it in). It also works with the EULA authorization my work's guest Wi-Fi requires before a connection establishes (kind of like when you go to a hotel and a webpage loads first that you have to accept an agreement on before the Internet access works).

Pros: 1.) 9 5.25" bays 2.) Handle on the top of the case 3.) Integrated feet that raise the case up 4.) Plenty of room for hiding cables 5.) Easy tool-less 5.25" bay installation 6.) Low cost for a lot of case

Cons: 1.) No cable management holes below the motherboard 2.) No cable management holes above the motherboard 3.) Needs more places to run zip-tie cables 4.) Side panel fan can't be used with some CPU coolers

Overall Review: I bought the red version of this case over a year ago for my home file server. Filled it with 2 iStarUSA 4x3 5.25" hard drive raid enclosures, 1 Blu-Ray drive, 1 DVD drive, and 1 5.25" hard drive bay for a removable SSD caddy. I just rebuilt the system with a new motherboard and changed the CPU cooler from a regular fan/heatsink, to a Corsair H60 watercooler. My experience over the year has been that this is a gorgeous case for very little money and one of the few cases with 9 fully usable 5.25" drive bays. As I mentioned in the cons, the only real issue with this case is a lack of more cable management holes, everything ends up getting crowded with the few holes provided. The biggest problem is of course the side panel fan. It sticks into the case and hits cables and gets in the way of any tall CPU coolers. It was completely unusable with a Corsair H60 watercooler mounted at the back of the case. There is no way to keep the hoses clear of the fully exposed fan blades. Thankfully, Raidmax included fan mounts on the side panel for a 120MM fan, so removing the larger fan and reusing the screws with a 120MM worked perfectly and had all the clearance necessary for the watercooler hoses. I would highly recommend this case for a file server if you want to fill the 5.25" bays with hard drive caddies. Also, checkout the iStarUSA caddies to go with it.

Pros: Tons of connections: 8 SATA3, 6 USB 3.0, 10 USB 2.0. The audio header is out of the way of the video card slots. I am using this to replace a faulty MSI board and the adapter that MSI includes for making motherboard header connections easier (HD LED, PW LED, etc...) worked perfectly with this board as well (all the pins were in the same orientation). Also, I love the night time LED mode ASRock provides that turns off the power LED after the system has booted, less light pollution is a good thing.

Cons: I really hate the connector used for the internal USB 3.0 connection, but that's not ASRock's fault, that's the USB organization's fault. They need to come up with something that locks in place.

Overall Review: I bought this to replace an MSI FM2-A85XA-G65. The MSI board was only seeing half of the memory installed, tried re-seating the CPU twice and tried all the different memory slots, just a defective board. Installed the same components in this board and have zero issues. Everything worked from the first boot. Using this for a home file server: AMD A4-5300, 2 G.Skill 4GB DDR3 1600 memory, PCIe 4x 8-SATA controller card, 8 hard drives, 1 SSD, 1 Blu-Ray, 1 DVD, running Ubuntu 14.04.
