Pros: Cheap. Wide variety of tools and bits that can handle most computer or small electronics tasks. Cheap.
Cons: Cheap. This is not high-end equipment. The case is ok, but a little chintzy. Precision sized screwdrivers are dollar bin quality, soldering iron is not much better.
Overall Review: You get what you pay for. This is a great set for someone who does occasional work and doesn't want to spend a lot of money on specialized tools. It would get worn out in a workshop or other heavy use environment, but some of the things like the tri/star/square driver bits would still be usable later so it's not a complete waste. The quality isn't fantastic, but it's good enough for what I need and I'm satisfied with it for the price.
Pros: Very solid, excellent quality for the price. Much thicker metal frame and panels than I was expecting for the price. Very well ventilated, all black interior/exterior aesthetically pleasing. Included fans provide good airflow and are reasonably quiet (but not silent). Easy to open and enough space for decent cable management.
Cons: LED lights on the front fan kind of look like a swastika. Once I noticed that it's hard not to see it and everyone else I've shown it to agrees. Maybe that's not a con for some people? Screwless mounting clips are a little flimsy, but good enough to hold an optical drive without it rattling. 2.5" converter tray also feels cheap, but does the job. Plastic front snap-on panel
Overall Review: Case arrived with a superficial dent in the back and one of the side panel insert tabs was jammed outside of where it belongs and had to be bent back into place. Other reviews mentioned damage that does not appear to be shipping related, so a couple minor dings should be expected. Excellent case for the money.
Pros: Good looking case, blends in well with stereo equipment. Quiet fans, noise reducing hard drive mounts included.
Cons: Tight fit, cable management can be problematic depending on the board. A modular power supply can be a lifesaver here. As others have mentioned, the remote is useless due to the RF sensor being shielded inside the case. The (very bright) blue LED can be annoying as well.
