Great HDDs

Pros: Quiet, fast, trouble free. Using 2 of these in RAID 1 format, partitioned into two volumes; one for OS and the other for programs and data.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: PC configuration: P182 Case, E8400 CPU, Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler, P5K-E Mobo, two Asus EN8600GT 512MB Silent video cards, 4 GB Super Talent DDR2 800 Dual Channel RAM, two Seagate Barracuda 250GB 7200 RPM 32MB HDDs in RAID 1, Pioneer DVR-115DBK optical drive, floppy drive, XP Home.
Works great

Pros: PC was designed to be SILENT. This cooler does its part when speed controlled by Asus P5K-E mobo. Runs at 960 rpm on E8400 CPU.
Cons: None

Great video card

Pros: Silent. Runs cool (125F at idle and 160F with Crysis on high settings, not overclocked). Runs Crysis on high settings with no flicker. Did I say SILENT? Screaming deal at $99.99. I run two of these, non SLI, to support 4 monitors.
Cons: Can't hear my PC? Price dropped 20% a few days after purchase...no regrets though...

Works great

Pros: Stable with XP Home when not over-clocked.
Cons: Asus provided performance utilities renders PC unbootable!
Overall Review: Runs Crysis on high settings with ease.

Great case

Pros: Overall intelligent design (see reviews on silentpcreview.com with associated articles on P180). No boy-racer gimmicks. Less than whisper quiet when fans are set on low speed. All components fit well (see below for list). Cooling is great - CPU is running at 84F (95F with Crysis on full settings) and Graphics cards are running at 125F (160F with Crysis on full settings).
Cons: I have to LOOK at it to confirm its running.
Overall Review: The lack of sound (SILENT) is weird to get used to after sitting next to my previous loud PC. Runs Crysis on high settings with ease.
