Pros: Fast Blu-Ray burner. Time from box on the porch to running was 45 minutes. That included the time to physically install it, have my XP Pro recognize it, install the software and then update the drivers on line. Quiet and works exactly as expected. I've burned CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Rays on it with no errors or coasters. Something I can't say about the older Liteon drive it replaced!!

Cons: None other than no standard 4 pin power connector. OEM packaging so no cables, instructions, or driver discs. That is what OEM means gang. Read the descriptions before you buy. The unit is FULL SATA so you need SATA data and power cables to plug it in. Have them on hand and you are golden.

Overall Review: Excellent upgrade that allows me to watch Blu-Rays on my computer and pipe them by HDMI to my 32 inch computer room HDTV for less than the cost of a stand alone Blu-Ray player! Plus it burns discs too!! Very fast very quiet except during the finalization when it gets a tiny bit noisy. Noise level is still below that of my two HP DVD-Rs.

Pros: Installed to replace and upgrade my video from the i3 motherboard level. Fits perfectly and doesn't make a sound! Video quality is stunning!! I can feed my HD wide screen monitor and my HDTV in the den with all the quality they can take at the same time. My computer is silent, even with three 120 mm fans running, and the video card didn't add a single db to the noise level. My motherboard temps have dropped a few degrees so it might even have helped the air flow. Even playing or burning Blu-Rays my system temps only go to about 85 degrees F.

Cons: The ATI software tends to revert to a lower video setting on reboots. Not a card problem but either software or me. I haven't been annoyed enough to figure it out yet. No video in/out.

Overall Review: Great card for the price! HDMI, Digital, and S-VGA outputs so you should find some way to hook it up. You can feed multiple monitors with it at the same time.

Pros: It was probably overkill for the Intel i3-530 chip installed in the case, but there sure won't be any heat problems! Burning DVDs while downloading and surfing and the processor is still only 8 degrees over room temp! I don't normally OC my system but with this monster on the processor I'm sure I could. Mounting it wasn't difficult at all. The heat pipe lifts the cooler high enough to clear the heat sinked RAM on my motherboard by just enough to work.

Cons: The case has to be rather deep to take this monster so check the size carefully. If it fits you will like it.

Overall Review: The stock sound level on my fan was just fine. The included extra mounts for a second fan is nice, but not necessary in my situation.

Pros: Easy mounting. Very good built in performance. Fast. Low heat.

Cons: None that I've found.

Overall Review: I haven't had an Intel chip inside my computer in 9 years. I decided to try one this time. I'm not disappointed.

Pros: Huge cooling fans! The case is about 60% ventilation and 40% metal. Everything arrived intact and undamaged, except the packing box. Rather the box than the case! The tool-less design is very nice and the rubber hard drive mounting is very effective. The fans and hard drives are nearly silent. If it weren't for the lights I wouldn't know it was on.

Cons: None really. Yes the front panel is plastic. It works and I like the looks of it.

Overall Review: This is one huge case but the size allows fantastic cooling. If space isn't an issue this will hold anything you need!
