Good Backplane for the price

Pros: Seems to provide adequate cooling. I have 3x500gb drives in raid 5 setup with a hot-spare. Working well for a month. Not terribly loud. I have it in my basement so noise is not a factor. LED's are fully functional.
Cons: Would prefer a SFF connector vs sata ports on the back, but you get what you pay for, would enable me to expand my array by 1 drive.
Overall Review: The LED's work well, I tell my adaptec 5405 raid controller to blink the selected drive and the LED does flash on the raid controller. No need to worry about figuring out what drive has failed.
RL-26 come in two flavors, old=good, new=bad DO NOT PURCHASE

Pros: Read "Other thoughts" section first New RL-26: None.... Old RL-26: Slide smooth as butter. Sturdy. Can be installed without getting grease on your hand. Good value. Fit inside XrackPro2 with RPC-4220 & RPC-470. Would buy again... if they made them.
Cons: New RL-26: They are inferior to their predecessor. False advertisement (Manufacturers fault). The new rails are NOT BALL BEARING. The rails do not slide smooth. Covered in grease. Both outside and inside. Impossible to install without getting grease on your hand. Last but not least, they are overpriced. You can get far better rails for your money. Old RL-26: They no longer make them....
Overall Review: Norco changed the design of the RL-26 sometime around May of 2010. They did not tell any of their resellers (like newegg). This would be fine if the new product was not inferior to the old. Instead the new rails are no longer "ball bearing" and do not slide smooth like the old rails. It took newegg 2 MONTHS to resolve this problem. They have refunded me in full (and then some) and they have updated the pictures for the RL-26. They still need to change the text which states "Ball Bearing Sliding Rail" as the rails are no longer ball bearing. Norco was kind enough to accept a trade in of the new RL-26 for the old RL-26, however, they have not stated they plan on reverting back to their old design. They have not alerted their resellers of the change or updated their website. I am displeased with Norco and to a lesser extent Newegg. They have both apologized and refunded me, but I feel both parties have not taken all the steps needed to correct the problem. TL;DR DO NOT BUY
Whew its compatible!

Pros: Solved the problem of a 32-bit xp computer and a 64-bit vista computer that could not share a USB printer with each other due to 32-bit 64-bit driver problems. Used with HP LaserJet p3015. This printer was not listed on the compatibility list, but I took a chance and it works flawlessly. taking the time to write this review so others know that this device works with the hp laserjet p3015.
Cons: Would like to see more printers listed on the compatibility list, so that its not a guessing game as to whether or not the device will work with your printer.
Overall Review: Their anime artwork and lame mission statements make this device less appealing as a business class solution to a problem. They should reconsider their packaging. I spent 4 hours trying to solve the 32-bit 64-bit printing problem the "correct" way, but it was taking far too much time and this device was a convenient alternative with a moderate price. Saves time frustration and money.
Love this case, but its not perfect

Pros: Great Value, Simple but not ugly, Removable front air filter, thumb screws!, Great airflow for CPU, bottom mount PSU,
Cons: If you plan on using a full length graphics card think again. There is not much space between the hard drive area which will be a problem for when you plug a beefy graphics card in. Poor wire management space. Mediocre airflow for add in cards (GPU) Cables for front panel usb/audio/etc are short. Good chance your audio cable wont reach. Only 2 120mm fan included (leaving front 2 for your purchase)
Overall Review: Love this case, I own 2, but alas they are too small to handle full length graphics cards and there is little space to neatly tie/tuck all your wires. (even if your using modular PSU) Also a pain to remove hard drives because of the direction the face.

Pros: Provided you set this ram to the correct timings it will perform flawlessly.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I would not put this ram in a non-enthusiast motherboard.
would buy again

Pros: Does exactly what the specifications say it does.
Cons: None
