Pros: Nice build quality, quiet fan, modular cabling, nice looking paint scheme. Good 480 watt power rating on the 12v rails combined. Appears to be of manufactured by Seasonic, one of the best in the business.

Cons: Be aware that this unit comes with only qty 2 modular dual SATA power cables, it is easy to miss this. Corsair should have used qty 3 if not 4 as a minimum. What happens when you need to hook up qty 3 hard disk drives and a couple SATA DVD burners? The molex connectors do not do me any good here. I don't see anywhere on Corsair's web site or at Newegg where I can order extra modular cables for this Power Supply.

Overall Review: The System: ASUS P5B-E v1.01 Motherboard BIOS v0706 (Nov 15, 2006) INTEL Core2 Duo E6400 Processor CORSAIR XMS2 DDR2 Memory 2GB TWIN2X2048-6400C4 COOLER MASTER Centurion5 CAC-T05-UW Case CORSAIR HX520w Power Supply POWERCOLOR X1950 PRO Extreme 256MB Video Card SEAGATE Barracuda 7200.10 320GB SATA Hard Drive (Qty 3) SAMSUNG 18X DVD Burner Model SH-S182D LITE-ON Combo Drive SATA Model SHC-52S7K-05 SAMSUNG 205BW 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor

Pros: The ASUS P5B-E v1.01 motherboard with BIOS v0706(Nov 15, 2006) was stable from stock to mild overclock (FSB 333, 2.6GHz) using Core2 Duo E6400 and Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 DDR800 Memory with stock cooler. SATAe connector in rear could be handy for additional external storage or backup. ASUS Q-Connector is a real nice feature for simplifying connecting those front panel USB, Firewire and audio ports. The right-angle SATA cables that came with the motherboard are a good idea.

Cons: The placement of the IDE connector just below the six SATA connectors could not be worse. I noticed that the ASUS P5B-E Plus which seems to be not for sale in the US has this IDE connector in a better location. I did not personally care for how this AMI BIOS menu is laid out. ASUS did not do a great job explaining the settings in this BIOS. The ASUS AI Overclocking Utility didn't seem to work very well, so I went back to the usual manual BIOS changes instead. The Intel P965 Northbridge heatsink does get warm even at standard clock and very warm during overclock, so a additional Northbridge fan might be in order. ASUS please go to another motherboard color please. Black would be good. The ADI SoundMax onboard audio was noisy when system is at idle. You can hear a pulsing from interference especially when the volume is up, so time for extra sound card.

Overall Review: This is average motherboard with some nice features for the price which should be better considering it is made by ASUS. The System: ASUS P5B-E v1.01 Motherboard BIOS v0706 (Nov 15, 2006) INTEL Core2 Duo E6400 Processor CORSAIR XMS2 DDR2 Memory 2GB TWIN2X2048-6400C4 COOLER MASTER Centurion5 CAC-T05-UW Case CORSAIR HX520w Power Supply POWERCOLOR X1950 PRO Extreme 256MB Video Card SEAGATE Barracuda 7200.10 320GB SATA Hard Drive (Qty 3) SAMSUNG 18X DVD Burner Model SH-S182D LITE-ON Combo Drive SATA Model SHC-52S7K-05 SAMSUNG 205BW 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor

Pros: Price, Quality seemed good, Printer text output looked very good, prints fast compared to my older laser printer.

Cons: To me it seemed noisy during printing more so than most units but goes into sleep/power saving mode quickly after print job is finished.

Overall Review: Purchased for my niece for use at college. First time purchase of a Samsung laser printer.

Pros: This is a very good inexpensive computer case for floor mount application. The On-Off button, reset button, USB, Firewire and Audio connectors are located at the top of the case and all work properly. The internal front panel connector wires were easy to work with and attached to my ASUS P5B-E motherboard without issue.

Cons: 120 mm rear fan not included. I purchased a Scythe S-FLEX SFF21F 120mm Case Fan which was an excellent choice. The 120mm front fan has blue LED if that is what you like which you can see through the black front mesh bezel. I did not care for the how the hard drive rails attached to the hard drives with threadless metal "pop-in's" instead of using actual metal screws.

Overall Review: A real nice case but I still prefer the COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW model over this one.

Pros: Very good quality, Nice looking case, tooless design seems to work well, excellent front USB, Firewire and audio wire harnesses to the motherboard, 120mm fan rear, nice front black wire mesh bezel with air filters. Like the fact I can buy without power supply since I would rather choose a better quality and higher rated power supply anyway. Front fan cools the hard drive very well.

Cons: Would rather have had 120mm fan in the case front instead of the 80mm one since they are quieter.

Overall Review: Hard to beat this case for the money.
