Beautiful

Pros: The case is really well built. It looks great and everything fits together well. The case came with extra 3.5" to 5.25" drive converters in case you want to remove one or both of the 3-Bay (4-HDD) units and mount the drives directly in the case. The case had 6 of these converters plus two already installed in the remaining 2 5.25" slots. The hot-swap mounts are very nice. Lots of room for big (long) power supplies.
Cons: The chosen hot-swap bays integrate into the case well but the power adapters (each have 2xSATA and 2x4-pin MOLEX) are so close together that it makes it hard to connect cables that have release grips or have two SATA power connectors on one cable. For systems with cables that have connectors mounted in line (and not passing perpendicularly) there shouldn't be a problem. It's tight but I fit mine which do pass sideways.
Overall Review: The case comes with everything - 8 SATA cables for the bays, adapters for all the 5.25" bays for mounting 3.5" drives, all the screws you could ever need. Surprisingly not as heavy as I'd expected. Lighter than my Xaser II case but still not fully populated. I'm waiting on an out-of-stock motherboard so I can complete the build. I was concerned that the door felt a little weak (plastic with plastic posts hinged) but it's held strong so far. I'm more than happy with the quality of this case.
Good Display; Stand Quality Lacking

Pros: Clear and crisp picture over VGA cable at 1680x1050. Good color.
Cons: The base feels flimsy compared to the weight of the display. Stiff joint made adjusting the angle awkward. I was afraid I would snap the stand when I was trying to adjust it the first couple times and was unsure if it tilted at all. Once you move it a couple times it gets easier - I hope not too easy and find the display drooping. A little slow turning on/waking up.
Overall Review: Unit arrived faulty. The picture was good for the first 10 minutes and then a minor distortion would set in and become progressively worse until the picture was a mere suggestion of what it should be. I've sent it back for replacement since the picture was good during the time it worked.
