Pros: Well this is my follow up review on this case.. now that i have owned it for a couple of months.

Cons: I havent found any. its a solid case.

Overall Review: i have been running this thing for about 4 months. i do ALOT of gaming and this keeps all of my equipment chilled. i bought a non lighted 120mm fan for the front and i bought twin 12inch green cathodes for xtra light. overall it works well. no issues with the PSU or any of the fans or buttons. I have a floppy drive in it too and the drop-down door hides it well. i have a CD-ROM drive and a DVD+write drive. My build: AMD Sempron 3000+ (overclocked to 2.4) ECS full ATX mobo, twin sticks of 512mB ram, 250gB SATA hard disk 2 CD-Rom drives floppy drive and 7600GT. it games well and the CPU overclocked fine with its stock cooler in this case. I am PLEASED.

Pros: Well intel suggests it has "3.46 GHz" when a AMD Sempron for half the cost could kill this thing in a game.

Cons: The problem here isn't that it has low L2 Cache or that its a single core, its the Front Side Bus people, even the Core 2 Duos only have 1066 MHz when even a budget Sempron has 1600 MHz and Athlons have 2000 MHz and soon AMD will have 3000 MHz with the arrival of the Socket AM3, So for gaming dont even consider a 400 $ Core 2 Duo when a 40 $ AMD Sempron could smoke it...

Overall Review: All About FSB in game intensive aplications, but this is fine for going online and listening to iTunes.

Pros: Well... it powers my system.

Cons: It powers my system...

Overall Review: now that my PC is built i cant stop gaming. my themes are green and black. this has blue LED fans... solution? well the fans are standard 80mm. so i switched them out with some Apevia green LED fans. peice of cake powered up and the pre-sleeved wires are awesome. yeah.. now if only i could turn it off.....

Pros: This has amazing speed at stock settings. At 1.6GHz it played caounter-strike:Source very well. It also played BF2142 at med sttings w/o lag.i was amazed.

Cons: Some ppl complain about the L2 Cache but i dont hink it matters much.

Overall Review: I currently have mine Overclocked to 2.0Ghz to run games on high settings. this thing acts like an Athlon64 but doesn't hurt the wallet too much. I exetremly reccomend this processor it beat my buddy's P4 and that was at 1.6GHz. My build: AMD Sempron 3000+, Twin Wintec AMP-O 512 Mb ram(total 1GB), nVidia 7100GS with hdmi lcd moniter, 250Gb SATA drive, all stored neatly in a XION Solaris case with green LEDS. It handles everything i throw at it very well. easily OCing.

Pros: I am using this thing with a AMD Sempron 3000+ and its pretty fast. On board graphics dont work wonders but a video card can solve that relitivly easily. Well laid out with two IDE connectors and lots of room for more ram (32Gb wow!!). Fit into case nicely and is pretty sturdy. Cpu socket AM2 for those AMD enthusiests who want a decent board and processor.

Cons: I had to leave one screw out in the top middle of the board(it stressed it too much i think) but that is more of the cases problem. Has too many next to useless PCI X1 slots, i will never use those...

Overall Review: My system: AMD Sempron 3000+, 1 Gb of AMP-O ram, This MO-BO, and Xion Solaris Case. It is a intermediate gaming rig and looks nice. Buy this board with a Sempron if u go single core.

Pros: I used this case for my gaming machine build for myself. I didn't want a case that looked all white and dumb, but i did want one that had a side window. most of the cases with windows are to weird looking for me with mid-evil or futuristic looks, i went with this one because it has a clasic look with a side window. The green glow was a bonus even if it isn't very brigh(newegg makes it look like a nuclear reactor, but really it looks like a AAA battery powered flashlight) a few 12" Cathodes can take care of this. Air flow is also very good inside the case and my equipment always stays cool.

Cons: My only complaint is the CD/DVD drive cover the case provides. My drive didn't exactly line up with the button and door flap, so every time i tried to open my disktray it hit just below the flap and almost stripped the gears that open the driver :( . good news is that i just pried it out and let my drivers own front panel show. It is black like the case so it doesn't look that bad. ;)

Overall Review: The floppy drive is nicely hidden and is very functional. I had to put my hard drive in one of the lowest slots in the case because it got in the way of the IDE connectors on my MoBo. But that isn't really the cases fault. I think that this is a grat product with a 450 Watt PSU that is more than enough juice for intermediate gaming. Take my advice and buy this case.
