Pros: It was really easy to build out. It was a perfect mate for my RAID5 build with an Athena BP-SATA3051B backplane. It even looks impressive. It is well built and designed especially for the price.

Cons: Minor. 1. I can see where there would be a problem with a full-sized ATX MB as in the previous review but it wasn't a problem for me. 2. I had to drill the case to make my rack rails work with it but I think that was more of a case of my rails being an antiquated design.

Overall Review: It was nice to have 2 floppy bays. Usually I use the one and only floppy bay for a card reader since I am a photographer. It is nice to have a floppy drive if I need to make boot or recovery disks.

Pros: It's fine if you only need a KM switch.

Cons: When the monitor is auto-adjusting you can see a green stripe down the right side of the screen outside of the normal viewing area. This causes the monitor to incorrectly adjust and the bottom and left side of the display is off-screen. I have tried attaching a 9V adapter but that did not improve the situation.

Overall Review: Don't buy. This one will probably end up in the closet as soon as I can find a better one. It's too cheap to bother with a return.

Pros: Not many.

Cons: I bought this board for RAID 5 support. I have tried everything that I know to get it to work with Windows 7 - 64 bit with no luck. I have to run a lower resolution because of the right-side, red-bar that the ATI video controller produces at higher resolution (I should have known better to buy anything with ATI on it). Also, I run this computer on a KVM. Either the video or keyboard is blinking out randomly causing loss of control. It is also a total loss of money.

Pros: Quality construction. Great value. Lots of space.

Cons: No reset button. No speaker (solved by scavenging one from an old case and hot-gluing it in the case). The hard drive clips are OK but I needed them on both sides for stability on the tape drives that I am mounting. It meant having to add a screw on the right side of all 9 drives. I do not like the topside fan vents. They seem to be inviting a disaster from a liquid spill but I'm sure that they are welcome for high-powered systems. My main power bus cable barely reached the mainboard header from the bottom PS mounting position.

Overall Review: The screws on the 3 1/2" hard drive cage were cheap over tightened. I nearly stripped 3 of them and totally stripped the other trying to remove the cage. Luckily I have a stripped screw removal bit.

Pros: I have bought nine of these units over time; never a DOA. If you have a 5.25 bay it is well worth the extra $15 if you think that you may want to swap drives.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I also own an Athena BP-SATA3051B backplane. The drive trays BP-SATATRAYB work with both.

Pros: The promise of high detail is great providing that you have the power of an NSA computer to run it.

Cons: I have tried it on two upper-mid-range computers that ran 2004 in very-high graphics mode smoothly. Med-high to high modes are unusable in FSX on the same computers. Not to mention I have found several bugs in only a couple hours of use.
