Pros: ALMOST plenty of room for everything! Very lightweight. Very quiet. Very cool, temperature wise. Adjustable case fans. (if connected to the onboard fan speed controller) Well organized thermal zones. Wire management is almost top-notch. Will accept MOST power supplies. Side-ejecting reversible optical mounting is TOO cool. Will handle three-way SLI, no problem, with eight expansion slots. Removable motherboard tray is a plus. Removable front ar filter is SICK! Fans are really quiet, even on MAX. Sie panel for mobo access is PAD-LOCKABLE. Lastly, the hot-swap hard drive bays tops it off, removing drives is easy as 1-2-3. It's appearance is one that isn't gawdy- just ready for business, whether it's gaming or processing big video encoding jobs.

Cons: These are the cons, or the things I would do differently, had I designed this tower. First, the fan speed controller is only accessible, once you remove the front panel and filter. (both remove easily) Next, the routing of wires after the power supply is installed can be a little tricky, especially if you have big hands. (they will be bumping into the optical drive supports) Next, there is only room for two optical drives, so if you want to use this as a CD or DVD duplicator, forget it. Next, you can only remove the motherboard tray with ALL expansion cards removed, unlike some cases made by L1@n-L1. PRICE IS A BIT STEEP and is not very consistent. I would say this box is worth 400 easy. I STILL could use two more hard drive bays and an additional optical drive bay. Shows greasy fingerprints EASY. The side panels can take time to get lined up, due to how the optical drives mount.

Overall Review: I thought this would be the ultimate case for a particular build I was doing for one of my customers. It seem to fit the bill for everything that he wanted the machine to do. Here is the parts list: MOBO: eVga X58 E760 Classified CPU: Inter Core i7 920 OC'd to a MILD 3.2GHz RAM: 6 GB Corsair Dominator 1600MHz HARD DRIVES: (4) 300 GB Velociraptors in a RAID 5 & (2) WD 1 TBs in a RAID 1 BLUE-RAY BURNER: Pioneer BDR-205BKS DVD BURNER: Plextor PX-880SA POWER SUPPLY: ABS SL 850 VIDEO CARDS: (2) eVga GTX 285s in SLI OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit

Pros: The price. Cap is tight. Can be labeled. Price per gig is less than a dollar!

Cons: VERY SLOW read/write speeds! I have seen USB 2.0 flash drives that performed better! No activity light?

Overall Review: I will avoid this item in the future. I have had better luck with "pricier" units - imagine that. I'm not sure if I just got a bad batch or what. I haven't had time to test ALL 7 of the drives that I purchased yet.

Pros: Small and portable. SPEED vs. USB 2 Affordable. Way better than the options from Wally World. Saves time when transferring large files.

Cons: Easy to lose. The captivity of the micro SD card isn't mechanical - you just insert it. Due to the above, the micro SD card is difficult to remove, unless you have decent fingernails.

Overall Review: So, I have been doing GoPro and DJi drone videos lately, and I noticed that the transfer speeds from these devices was 20 to 30 MB/sec. With this adapter, I am hitting 160 MB/sec! The PROS outweigh the CONS for me! Highly recommended.

Pros: Straight hauls, and then some! Runs fairly cool on a Corsair H 100i AIO. Fairly energy efficient at 95 watts. Makes my almost 3 year old GTX 1070's shine bright! After doing my homework, I decided on this CPU. If you have to have the fastest, (currently) look no further. There's a lot of haters out there posting negative reviews on You Tube. If all you do is game, and don't care about 4k gaming, you may want to consider AMD's offerings. This is not a bang for the buck CPU!

Cons: Price, to a point, but speed and stability right out of the box has a price! Doesn't overclock very far past it's stock turbo speeds, but what do you expect? 6GHz?!?!?!? Not yet!

Overall Review: Coming from a 10 year old X-58 platform with an Intel i7 980X 6-core that was only OC'd to 3.6 for daily use and had it up to 4.4 for smashing benchmarks, this i9 is a noticeable improvement. I ran all my benchmarks with "MULTI-CORE ENHANCEMENT" enabled in BIOS, and I obliterated ALL of my 3DMark scores! Games load noticeably faster than before and I am able to finally play the first Crysis game at High settings at 4K resolution! ( LoL ) Comparably, my super pi at 1M went from 10 seconds, to about 7.75 seconds! Conclusion: When I upgrade to a new platform, I want to see a DIFFERENCE. That's why I go so long with my builds before switching platforms. I want it to be a significant upgrade. I already had some good parts to migrate- 850 watt PSU, 4 TB WD Black Edition for storage, Cooler Master HAF 932 case, LG BluRay burner, and a Corsair H100i AIO water cooler for the CPU. It kept my costs lower than actually building a so-so modern mainstream gaming PC. I guess if I am ever able to upgrade this CPU and stay with the same chipset/platform, maybe intel will have a 10nm CPU with more cores or the same number of cores, but faster clock speeds. Only time will tell!

Pros: Tons of M.2 Slots, integrated wi-fi that's ( supposedly ) fast- ( haven't tried it yet ) , highly compatible with many types of DDR-4. Very good OC potential. 10Gbit ethernet port. I have SMASHED EVERY SINGLE 3DMark personal record with this bad boy! I did pair it with an Intel Core i9 9900K, cooled by a Corsair H100i all in one. It fit like a glove! I was worried that there would be an issue with the CPU back plate, like others have stated, but mine fit PERFECTLY! Then, tot top it all off, I am running a pair of eVGA GTX 1070 FTW's in SLI. These cards perform very well, coming from an old i7 980X on an X58 board!

Cons: PRAY THAT YOU GET A BOARD WITH BIOS LEVEL 1.60!!!! STAY AWAY FROM BIOS REVISIONS 1.80 AND 1.90!!!!! I was running like the wind until I decided to screw everything up and update my BIOS from 1.60 to 1.80. The machine literally came to a crawl! Then I thought, "maybe 1.90 fixed 1.80's slowness". NOPE. This thing was still crawling at the latest BIOS revision. Fortunately, I was able to reverse-flash the BIOS back to 1.60. WHEW! Also note that when you are at 1.80 or 1.90, the CPU MULTI_CORE ENHANCEMENT is taken away from the options in the UEFI. The boys at ASROCK better have another look at the last two BIOS revisions, and get back to what they were doing in version 1.60!

Overall Review: Anyway, if you happen to pick this board, just know that you can always flash it to 1.60 if needed! I am glad I figured this out early! I still highly recommend this board, despite the little BIOS issue. I will have more updates to come, after further testing, but so far, I am super pleased with my purchase.

Pros: Plays loud and clear with very little distortion and has never shut down on me from overheating.

Cons: Really strange terminal connection logic.

Overall Review: BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK. HANDS DOWN.
