Pros: I thought I would be dispointed, but a lot has to be said for the bang for the buck here.

Cons: Large card, if you case is cramped, you may have problems getting this one in it

Overall Review: the fan is well designed and is very quit, hope that hold out.

it's ASUS

Pros: Easy install, had no problems with the board, really like the MB rear pannel, they had a padded plate, made it easy to get the back ports out with out bending the stupid metal fingers that you normaly get with a rear pannel.

Cons: It has PS/2 ports. and I haven't been able to enable my USB keyboard power buttons. Maybe a deeper dive into the Manual.

Overall Review: real solid construction, I love the ASUS bios flash features, they have made bios updates and recovery easy.

Nice very Nice

Pros: Very well built. The screwless install was just right I think, I would hate to have my MB floating around. the lighting on this case is very sharp and give the case a very nice touch. Air flow was awsome too, I didn't need to add any fans.

Cons: the placement of the front USB ports, if your placing this tower on the ground they are at the bottom, not really a big con, but be aware of short USB cords for this one.

Overall Review: I feel that a case should have some screws to it, I mean come on, how often are you needing to pull the motherboard? I really like the MB fold out, it was well thoguht out, I have see other system where they only fold out the bottom part and leave the card mount, so you have to pull all your cards any ways, not here, the only thing I have to worry about is the MB power cords!!!!

Nice, just Nice

Pros: come on it's a 1T drive, what else can I say, the 16 meg cashe is great. I have this drive mounted in an Antech external case. I used it for backing up files.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Transfer rate is only as good as the source, but hey that's to be expected. I was able to almost kill my 100 megabit network while coping files too and from my server. Makes me want a gigabit network really bad :)

Works great
