Pretty Cool
Pros: Keeps everything cool. Lot of air flow. Plently of room, easy to run cables, and hide cables, lots of places to zip tie cables. Blue lights are pretty cool, provides night light, not all that bright for me. Thumb screws on window side and the top mounted harddrive cage are awesome. No sharp edges
Cons: No MB tray! Dust collects by front fan, but really not surprised.
Overall Review: hooking up top panel firewire was painful, could use more ubs ports on top too. Doors are cool looking when they stay closed. Pretty useless.
Aopen 6600
Pros: HD output Hugh amount of RAM Quiet, not that I would be able to notice, since I have 5 other fans. Price point, plus had rebate. NVidia drivers good
Cons: No Dual DVI out, would have been nice, but no really seen in 6600's.
Overall Review: Heat sink has never been to hot to touch. Nascar Sim Racing periodically locks up, usually not a problem. Plays Sims 2 w/o a glitch and everything else. Probably just poor coding on NSR. NSR looked decent on my 34XBR960 at 720p, should have tried 1080i, probably would have killed.
