Pros: Awesome price for an amazing overclocker. Can hit 3.8ghz at 1.3v stable, 3.5 at 1.2v, 3.16 at 1.1v. The 9.5 multiplier makes overclocking a breeze. It's safe to run it up to 74°C too, so no worries about heat.

Cons: IHS was not very flat; it was depressed in the middle. Lapping helped for about 5°C off load temperature. At 1.3v it was getting mid to high 50°'s but after lapping high 40°'s to low 50°'s. Can only go up to 1.3625v without damage :*(

Overall Review: Works beautifully with Gigabyte EP35-DS3l. Just make sure you have the F4 bios.

Pros: Has a bios so I can boot off of a cd drive attached to it. I also like how it is low profile and short. Works out of the box with linux, required drivers from a usb for vista to install.

Cons: This card was a bottleneck for my harddrives. I saw ~20mb/s DECREASE in speed for single drive performance and ~80mb/s DECREASE in RAID0 performance compared to the motherboard's native controller and linux software raid. The onboard raid controller was not able to set up a raid0 properly. I used the onboard bios to make a 100gb raid0, and instead of making a 50gb partition on each drive and striping, it decided to make one partition on one drive, giving no performance gain.

Overall Review: Not impressed...would not buy another. I learned that if you want a good sata addin card, you're gonna need pci-e x4 not x1.

Pros: Inexpensive

Cons: Quite thin, but fine for the cost.

Overall Review: Make sure you know that this is NOT sized for 16:9 laptops.

Pros: Extremely fast. Gets ~140mb/s single drive, and ~280mb/s with 2 in RAID0, with the ext4 filesystem and linux software raid. These drives are also thin; due to being single plattered.

Cons: Makes a couple odd noises, but I think seagate drives often do.

Overall Review: Would love to put 4 together in raid 0....

Pros: Amazing price. Plenty of options in the bios, accepted my G.Skill DDR2-1000 4x2gb fine, overclocks easily. It can hit 1600fsb with only +.1v to the mch. Works well with my e7200 (just make sure you have the f4 bios). I like that they've included a southbridge heatsink. Plenty of PCI slots.

Cons: Bad vdrop and vdroop. The vdrop is .03v, and the vdroop is also .03v, so under load my processor uses .06v less than what is set in the bios. No voltage regulator heatsinks. The sata ports are badly placed, tricky to get to a couple of the sata ports with an Accelero S1 on the gfx card. Furthermore, the right angle connector included blocks the sata port across from it.

Overall Review: Compatible with D-Tek FuZion V1 waterblock.

Pros: Amazing cable managment, awesome quietude. Love the noise absorbtion materials all over it. The silicon feet on the case help too, and the side panels keep alot of the noise inside. HDD vibration absorption system is very effective, and I love the modular hdd bays. The included fans move a decent amount of air too, and the one in the lower section works wonders on hardrive and psu temps.

Cons: Awkward placement of watercooling tube holes on back. Horizontal placement would have been nicer imo. It's very time consuming to manage the cables, but the results are nice. The included fans do make some noise on low, but it's not very noticable.

Overall Review: I have a 360 radiator on a RadBox on the back of this. Removing the top hardrive bay made a nice spot for the pump also.
