Great Unit for a Full Tower, Mid-Tower? I don't know.....

Thermaltake CL-W0121 2U Drive Bay Water Cooling System
Thermaltake CL-W0121 2U Drive Bay Water Cooling System

Pros: Easy install, directions were okay, this was a concern after reading some of the other reviews. Good temps, 24-26 degrees idle. No vibration or noise issues, product is functioning well.

Cons: I love my Thermaltake products but I don't feel they were entirely honest with the people as the CL-W0121 requires a full tower to function properly as I have. There should be system requirements on this one or did I miss that fine, fine print.

Overall Review: This product don't seem to have a lot of good reviews and I think I may know why. This unit takes up 2 drive bays but require 4 to function properly. It needs space above and below, you just don't find too many Mid-Towers with this kind of room. I had recently purchased a Thermaltake ArmorPlus+ VH6000BWS so I knew it would not be an issue.

Very Unhappy!

LG DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 22X DVD-R 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model GH22NS50
LG DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 22X DVD-R 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model GH22NS50

Pros: None.

Cons: This burner has some type of virtual software built into the drive called "Bluebirds". Bluebirds is advertisement linked to the LG website to get you to buy more LG products. If you choose not to install the software you will be prompted to install it every time you close the drive door. If you install it you get the tray icons pointing to more LG products. If you remove it from the startup it adds itself back to the startup every time you close the drive door.

Overall Review: You have been WARNED! Newegg took the drives back hassle free, their still the best.

Pros: Powering the following with no issues whatsoever. One year+ and still going strong. I bought a second TPQ-1000 about 6 mo ago for my 2nd rig, no issues with that either.
