Pros: For the price, these are superb 5.1 speakers, with an easy setup, clean audio, and a deep, clear bass. Don't be fooled by the power rating - in a moderate sized room, the 70W output from these will rattle the walls long before you get into distortion territory.

Cons: There is some degree of distortion at high volumes, but these speakers are really designed as a budget surround sound solution, not really intended for audiophiles.

Overall Review: I bought my first set of these more than a year ago and have not regretted it. I enjoyed the quality of the sound from these so much that I just ordered a second set for my sister, and she loves them. Just assume that you'll need to buy some audio extension cables for the rear speakers - the cords on those are long, but not quite long enough to stretch comfortably around a decent sized room.

Pros: Solid rolled steel construction is much more durable than the standard aluminum fare. The design also incorporates some of the best features of modern ATX cases; side-mounted hard drive bays with rubber vibration dampers, front panel USB, audio, and eSata, and snap-in drive brackets. Good airflow, easy cable management, and a rock-solid included power supply just round out the deal.

Cons: Clean black finish is prone to scratches, but that has more to do with the end user.

Overall Review: Started buying these for office PC's we've begun building in-house, and everybody who got one loves them so far. And we love them because we can lock the cases against some of our more adventurous end users.
