Pros: great overclock ability, lots of usb headers and firewire header for front ports, led post feature nice touch. a ton of extra fan connectors.

Cons: be sure your cooler will fit. I used the antec butterfly and it was close. the base just squeezed inbetween diodes or whatever they are on board near the cpu.

Overall Review: great board for the price. note that you do not get the 6 sata cables like it mentions in the specs. call newegg and get them shipped(you will wait forever tho) better off just ordering extra.

Pros: looks great, great airflow, fans included, no cheap psu that you will toss anyway. front firewire port.

Cons: difficult to remove front, slots for hdd unable to accomodate hdd fans attached. removing screws that hold the airscoop(which you need to do if your not using stock cpu fan) leave 4 unsightly holes on the side of your case.

Overall Review: It rally is a great case for my builds. airflow is premium. I will use again for sure. not many cases have a front side firewire port. not sure if it was the wires from the case or my mobo, but i had to reverse the + and - cables for the hdd light and the power light in order for them to work.(the power light actually stayed lit while the unit was turned off.)
