Pros: Allows me to run the ATX12V line up around the motherboard and down to the connector from my bottom mount PSU, instead of dragging it right across the board. It makes it look much neater and is a big help in my Antec P180 with Intel D945PSN where the ATX12V connector is an awefully long way from the PSU.

Cons: Wire gauge could be a bit heavier.

Overall Review: Simple and works, what more do you want?

Pros: Good looking, appears to be well put together.

Cons: Despite the statement that this case fits MicroATX boards, it does not fit them. It does not have the mounting holes or space to fit a true MicroATX board, only one of the slimmer varieties. So if you want one of the larger Intel or similar MicroATX boards for their quiet reliable operation, you should look elsewhere.

Pros: Relatively quiet, very high performance, single GPU.

Cons: Not as fast as the dual GPU solutions, expensive.

Overall Review: This is the fastest single GPU card on the market as of this writing. Higher performance models use SLI or Crossfire on the card, and come with their associated problems and difficulties. While the performance increase over similar cards with lower clock speeds is modest, this unit offers performance without the tweaking hassle - and still lets you tweak to your heart's content.

Pros: The price is attractive, and the company offers interchangable trays with its other SATA products, including options for E-SATA enclosures. Properly cabled it gives feedback as to drive failure and has a built-in overheat alarm that can be set at multiple temperatures.

Cons: This is a big unit, and is a tight fit into any chassis, almost as though it is a milimeter or so too large. The enormous depth meant that it barely fit into a 4U chassis. The cabling is also difficult to work with, located as it is right next to the rather large (and very much needed) fan housing. Overall the downsides are not something unexpected on this type of product, and it doesn't loose an egg due to them.

Overall Review: SATA backplaines that are not specifically designed for the particular server chassis (and even some that are!) are known for having issues with the backplanes causing errors, slow performance and dropping drives, and so I was wary and careful, but I experienced no such issues on the ones I purchased.

Pros: Performs as RAM should and does work all the way up to advertised speeds.

Cons: Despite meeting all of the requirements, all the way down to the full timing list and voltage, this does not work in certain Intel boards as PC6400. Not PQI's problem per se, but I would have thought they would have ensured compatibility with the popular OEM boards if only for the upgrader market from retail systems.

Overall Review: Heatspreaders are a bit tacky, would have perfered something with more substance and less flashy, but they do the job.

Pros: Alot of room, even for a 4U and solidly constructed. The key helps prevent accidental reboot. Front USB is a nice touch, and the switches are of heavy duty construction.

Cons: No rails included, could stand for some more 3.5" internal bays. Also does not allow for hot swap PSUs very easily.

Overall Review: The seven 5.25" drive bays allows installation of a very many options. I used the four vertical ones for six SATA hot swap bays, and still had room for optical and a tape autoloader.
