Pros: Beautiful 1080p display. In both 2D and 3D this monitor has stunning colors. I like the ability to switch between different display settings (that I can set up and tweak) with the touch of a button (useful for a room that gets a lot of light during the day, but is preferred to be dark at night).

Cons: Surprisingly my biggest gripe is with the glasses. I know they are pretty much the only way to view 3D off an nvidia system, so you think a little more quality would go into making them. The flat lenses are not perfect, and actually have blurry spots in critical areas. $219 buys you some nice everyday glasses that I would expect to be free of flaws in the lenses. -1 egg for that Another thing is there is a huge back light bleed on black screens One other thing I should point out is the fact that there is still some minor ghosting in 3D, but the 120Hz does a good job at keeping it barely visible (ghosting is inherent in the technology, so I can't really mark this monitor down for that)

Overall Review: Gaming in 3D is life changing. Ranging a person down your scope in BF BC2 is much easier with 3D. Nothing can immerse you in a game more.

Pros: Removable mobo tray! Something you don't usually see in the less expensive cases. Thick steel and sturdy construction make for a solid feeling case. Seems to have sufficient cooling power (and quiet fans), but we'll see after I'm done running my stress tests Comes with extras like a cleaning cloth, a complete extra set of all screws. Looks good.

Cons: Hard drive/ optical drive cages. These were a nightmare to install. I'm not sure who's bright idea it was to put the HDD cage right behind the graphics card, but it is a huge problem if you get a big card like nvidia 260. Also, there is no way to open the side panels, so it is nearly impossible to get the single screw that holds the HDD cage down back into its hole. Then to make matters worse, the top optical drive slot is oversized, so only one side of your dvd drive can be secured (meanwhile flopping all over the place while you try to get the first screw in). Cable management is also pretty hard in this case. You don't have much space left once the PSU is installed. I would recommend going modular if you can.

Overall Review: I really wanted to give this case 5 stars, but the hassle of installing the drives really hurt the rating. It has some great features, and is a real looker. However if this is something that you are going to be opening often to mess around with, you may want to reconsider. rig: MSI p55-gd45 i7 860 2x Seagate 500GB HDD 4GB Ballistix Tracer 1600 (red) xfx ATI 4650 500w Antec Earthwatts

Pros: - Silent case fans - Fan controller built into front of case (simple slider with 3 settings) - Great fit and finish for the most part, see below for more on this - Plenty of options for cable management - Love the modular top covers that remove to fit tons of different fan/radiator combos. - Bottom mount PSU (more a personal preference, but I like having the PSU separated from the rest of the case's airflow, and bottom mounts seem better for cable management) - Filters everywhere air is being pulled into the case, and they are easy to remove for cleaning Overall I love the look of this case. Cable management was a breeze with plenty of places to route through the back of the case. I would recommend this for a quieter room (like a bedroom, or TV room), but some modification is required to get there...

Cons: Sad to say, but there are some issues with this case in the noise department. With all the efforts put into silent fans, noise dampening, and even rubber hard drive mounting grommets, there is a constant buzzing coming from this case I am having trouble getting rid of. I traced the source of the loudest buzzing to an occupied 3.5" hard drive carriage, where the 2 metal retaining clips lock into the hard drive cage (the clips were vibrating from the hard drive). I quickly solved this with some of the extra supplied rubber grommets by inserting them where the clips make contact. Unfortunately, as soon as I closed the case again, another source of buzzing became apparent: the door to the case itself... Something on there is making loose contact with the rest of the case and vibrating constantly (only over-tightening the thumb screws seems to remedy this, and even then it's still tentative). It comes and goes like an old AM radio wandering in and out of static. For a premium computer case this expensive, and the amount of advertising as silent, these annoyances just should not happen. That being said, I'm sure the reason I'm noticing these buzzing noises is because it doesn't sound like I have a model jet engine placed next to me on my desk (as with my old setup). Some of the more minor cons include: - On/off button feels cheap, lots of wiggle when pressing it in - Case doors are a little flimsy. Can wobble and distend to a degree when off the case

Overall Review: The two areas that seem to need the most improvement are the hard drive carriages and the case doors. Probably the best suggestion to go about fixing the problems outlined above would be to just coat any of the contact areas with some kind of rubberized paint / plastic / foam tape / anything but metal on metal that can produce this constant buzzing.

Pros: I work at a tech bench and constantly use these on a daily basis. All drivers are still in one piece, and show minimal wear. Admittedly, I got these for free through a promotion, but I would definitely buy again if there was a need

Cons: Really stretching it for this, but the case is kinda cheap (the plastic cover broke off the hinge due to some careless co-workers). The black protective paint on the tips has worn off, but I can't really complain after using these on upwards of 5 different computers a day over a year and a half period.

Overall Review: I wish these came with a vinyl flathead to remove keyboards without running the risk of damaging the plastics around them.

Pros: Fans are silent, all I can hear is the faint whooshing sound of rushing air. Temps are pretty much as good as liquid cooling. 6 heatpipe design. Oversized 140mm fan is great because not only does it push air through the radiator, but it also moves air pretty effectively over the motherboard heatsinks as well. The NH-D14 comes with a lot of great extras too (thermalpaste that's almost as good as Arctic Silver 5, a philips screwdriver, 3 different 3-pin connectors just in case you find running the fans at full tilt is too loud... which is actually not loud at all).

Cons: Color scheme looks like something straight out of a computer made in the 80s (beige on darker beige). The 120mm fan makes it impossible to access my RAM... let alone install a RAM cooler. I can see someone with high profile RAM (such as the corsair vengeance series) having difficulty with this (not saying it's impossible, but some creative placement of the fan might be necessary). Middle fan has to be removed to install/uninstall the heatsink, but hopefully you only have to do this once, so not really a big deal. And just to be nit-picky, the cables for the fans seem to be excessively long.

Overall Review: Using an i7 970 @ 18C ambient temp, I got some pretty impressive results according to Core Temp: 11C idle - 46C load........ whaaaaa? I can't possibly believe this, so the most realistic reading I got was: 19C idle - 48C load

Pros: Comes in a fancy pants felt bag

Cons: DOA. Not only that, but before I realized it was DOA, the ATX12V cable was too short to reach my mobo in any conceivable cable management configuration. I ended up just leaving it in the front of the mobo for everyone to see. Now I get to throw away another $20 in shipping.
