Pros: Let it be said, that for the most part, Lian Li has the best manufactured cased in the industry. 1) It has an easy to install bottom power supply access 2) Folded edges 3) Very high quality brushed aluminum finish. 4) Very quiet, dual front 120mm fans and an extra top mounted one too 5) Thick front panel aluminum bezel that is easily removed. 6) Also has removable metal screen mesh filters for easy cleaning (even one for the power supply) 7) 2.5" SSD mount (look carefully to find it)

Cons: There are so many little problems with this case: 1) Thin side panels -Lian Li, your hurting your good name to save a buck! 2) Front bezel uses plastic retaining clips that I had to super glue in place to keep from falling out 3) Bezel slot covers are so thin and don't have any screw-mount holes. They move around and fall out easily (hot glued them in place) 4) Side panels rattle when touched 5) Only one top mounted USB3 port, the other is USB2. 6) No real cable management. Distance between the side panel and motherboard tray is too thin to run thicker cables. Have to get creative. 7) Hard drive mounting cages not like other Lian Li cases - you have to remove the cage to fasten the drives down. 8) Loud, cheap, cluncky, old style On/Off switch that reminds me of the cheapest PC cases. What happened to the nice soft click switches that Lian Li uses in other models??

Overall Review: Use a modular power supply so you don't clutter your case insides with unused cables. This case it not to the standard of other Lian Li cases. If they fixed these problems this would be an perfect mATX case, but I fear that Lian Li is trying to save a few bucks by going thin on the side panels, and using cheap on/off switches. Not a good trend. My build took about 30 minutes longer than normal, and when assembling 10 computers per day for my company, this adds up to several hours of wasted time. But if your willing to over-look some problems and have plenty of time, this case will work just fine. I recommend aluminum case over steel, especially for the fit and finish.

Pros: Double shielded with cross-talk divider; Smooth PE insulation and spool makes pulling cable easier; Feels more substantial than other brands; Quality cable for the price

Cons: Not sure about UL Listing and if you can do direct burial installs (nothing in their literature).

Overall Review: Even though it's double boxed for shipping, It's a 50/50 chance to get it delivered in good shape without having the plastic spool damaged in some way. I'll have to wait to see how well it weathers over the seasons, but for the last 6 months it appears to be holding up. This is shielded cable, so if you want ESD protection, you must use shielded jacks that are properly terminated and grounded. i suggest using their Tough-Jacks and their ETH-SP Ethernet Surge Protectors (on both ends) and properly ground them to provide surge protection. Go to Youtube and search for "ubiquiti gounding" for more help.

Pros: Perfect for mATX motherboard; hard drive bay swivels out for each access; soft-touch power button; quality steel case (like they used to make years ago). Quiet power supply

Cons: None really

Overall Review: Perfect for a small business server with space for up to 4 hard drives. Make sure you choose the model with the size power supply you need. 300w is enough for a entry level servers with a couple of hard drives and a single Xeon CPU motherboard. Iv'e built over a dozen servers with this case - I'm happy with the quality and hope they continue to offer this model in the future.

Pros: This is an update to my previous review to help clarify some points. 1st point: This system comes with two SATA ports and two mini PCie slots. The mPCie slots are stacked, one on top of each other. However the top slot accepts 50.8mm standard size mSATA SSD drives, while the bottom port is half size (26.8mm). I haven't tried installing a half size SSD drive yet in the bottom slot, but at some point I'll test it too. However the top slot (50.8mm) works perfectly with mSATA SSD's. After optimization I have a 7 second boot time from BIOS to Windows desktop. 3 second shutdown. You MUST go in to the BIOS and change the boot drive to "mSATA". to get the SSD to boot from the mSata slot. Point 2: You can have both an mSATA drive and SATA drive installed at the same time. I tested this by first installing a mSATA drive, installing Windows 8.1, and then installing a standard 2.5" SATA spinning drive attached with the cables that come with the system. There are 2 SATA ports so I suspect that you can install a 2nd spinning drive also, but you will need a SATA power splitter. I guess you could always use the 2nd drive for file storage and swap file space, but if you install 8GB or more RAM the swap file space will likely not be needed at all. I keep 1024 as standard swap file space, turn off hibernation, turn off indexing. Make sure that Windows detects your SSD drive as SSD and if not manually run "WinSat formal" from the command line to enable Win 8.1 optimization. Defrag will then only run the TRIM command and not the full drefrag services on the SSD each week. Be sure to use a low power (65 watt or under) CPU. If you have any questions, just ask

Cons: Do not cover the vent holes in the top or this system will overheat.

Overall Review: I hope that Shuttle continues to improve this system as it is a perfect size and well constructed.

Pros: 1) Front panel is easy to remove and re-attach 2) All folded edges inside 3) Enough room for a standard build 4) USB ports on top 5) Not Bad looking (not great either) 6) Handle on Top is GREAT!

Cons: 1) USB Ports on top are USB2 only. 2) Clunky On-Off button (soft-touch electronic button would be nice) 3) Just a little light on the metal thickness - needs to be a little thicker - the side panels flex too easy - makes it seem a little cheap. 4) Power On LED is soft pale green - needs to be a just a touch brighter (but not like the retina burning blue LED's on some cases)

Overall Review: After my first build with this case, I'm general happy. Ordered 3 more.

Pros: Syba Tech Support emailed installation instructions that were a little more clear than what was included in the box. 1) You must clear the RAID before installing the card - this clears the state of the card (OFF OFF ON) 2) In RAID mode, both drives must be empty. If they are not, the card will wipe both drives clean, erasing everything on both drives. Backup your data first! 3) Port HDD1 is for the primary drive; Port HDD2 is for the secondary drive.

Cons: .
