Pros: Visually attractive; everything already stated ...
Cons: My Corsair H100 will not fit in the top; H100 uses 120mm fans, the case uses 140mm fans (I knew this before I purchased the case, just thought you may want to know). My Corsair H50 will not fit in the back; there is just enough space for the 120mm fan - the radiator will NOT fit (I DID NOT know this before I purchased this case). Completely useless for my water cooling needs.
Overall Review: If you cool by air alone you are OK. If you piece together a custom water cooling kit, you MAY be OK. If you have a closed-loop water cooling solution, you ARE NOT OK. I docked an egg for this. I also docked an egg for Lian-Li and Newegg's lack of recognizing consumer demand; Lian-li doesn't offer this case with a window, you have to purchase a window seperately +$100- Newegg doesn't sell the window. FAIL. People that spend this kind of money on a chasis alone most likely want a window, just saying... BTW, the dust filters in ALL cases are good for catching large birds from flying into your case, that's about it. Manufacturers need to start offering a filter similar to HVAC filters. I cut-up and tapped 3-month filters in each opening and I have plenty of air-flow. NOTE: I installed Noctua 9-blade, high-impedance, fans. There is money to made on this, get with the program.
Pros: I have two of these in Raid1 for nearly a year without a problem. I have one as a standalone without a hickup.
Cons: Supply
Overall Review: since rains flooded many harddrive parts suppliers/manufacturers facilities in asia, the lack of supply of harddrives has created a price increase of 250%. Hold out, prices should come down in 3~4+ months. Holding out also lowers demand, thus the price for the fixed supply they have.
Pros: Good board, I haven't ran any of the utilities on the disk that came with the board so i can't speak of those. Came with (4) 6GB/s SATA III cables, which was nice (they're white?, are all SATA III cables this color?)
Cons: Didn't recognize my 7-7-7-21 ram, had to set in bios to ENABLE XRM and then LINK because once it did it was being ran at 9-9-9-24. Would not boot at first with a stick of ram in slots 1 & 3, see more below.
Overall Review: If, on first boot after build, you have constant reboots, place ONLY ONE STICK of ram in SLOT 1 (closest to cpu) then boot; if this helps, shutdown then add second stick to slot 3.

Pros: Good board, actually i own the P67A-GD55 but it's showing DISCONTINUED on Newegg, so I'll leave my comment here.
Cons: My 7-7-7-21 RAM showed 9-9-9-24 untill I changed it in the bios, was not recognized immediately (RAM manufacturer claims "Designed for P67"). Enable XMP and then LINK to enable correct timings.
Overall Review: For the guy/gal having the constant reboots, place ONLY ONE STICK of ram in SLOT 1 (closest to cpu) and reboot, see if this helps, then add second stick to slot 3.

Pros: for guy with driver problem
Cons: read below

Pros: other thought
Cons: other thought
Overall Review: Can someone comment on compatibility with Windows 7. Newegg doesn't mention anything about Vista, but Rosewill's website says the RC-217 is Vista compatible. Most things Vista compatible are Windows 7 compatible. thanks
Pros: as advertised, works and is small as previously stated, driver already part of Win 7 windows update already has a driver update thus, for Win 7 users this is plug and play honestly, i haven't even held the cd... no use for me, i don't know what's on it
Cons: maybe the reception... idk, i have no base for comparison
Overall Review: i have a g router and ~750kb internet @ ~ 18 ft from router, i'm in and out of 3-4 bars [of 5] all said, i am still able to download at full ~750kb currently on sale+plug'n'play+met my expectations= I am happy with my purchase
Pros: SEE OTHER THOUGHTS
Cons: Poor quality drive and warranty... loud... old technology
Overall Review: Know this comes formated Fat32. For those who complain about the Fat32: This is done so people with Macs can read and WRITE to it too. Macs can read NTFS, but not write to it without expensive, buggy software. The Mac store here, on campus at Clemson, sells these for that reason. I wish I could just buy the case, which looks good and sturdy, and add two WD Greens... and it had eSata
Pros: quiet... you will be pleased and satisfied [ HTPC ]
Cons: you will like the way the hdmi audio works better after updating the RealTek driver [see below for link]
Overall Review: Upgrade the RealTek video driver ATI HDMI Audio Device http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
Pros: Price is fair
Cons: I "upgraded" from a 3650. 3650 Vista Scores: Graphics - 5.5 Gaming Graphics - 5.2 4650 Vista Scores: Graphics - 5.1 Gaming Graphics - 5.3 LOL... I lost more than I gained -3pts and $50 I can't see a difference in performance eigther
Overall Review: After using the ATI OVERDRIVE my new scores GPU Clock - 650MHz [default 600] Mem Clock- 450MHz [default 400] Fan left on AUTO Idle Temp - 56C Graphics - 5.6 Gaming Graphics - 5.4 & GPU Clock - 700MHz [default 600] Mem Clock- 500MHz [default 400] Manual Fan at 100% Idle Temp - 54C Graphics - 5.9 Gaming Graphics - 5.4 My system stayed stable with both I am curious to know if/when the 4670 will be out in LP It will be overclocked from factory, so i don't have to run this little app all the time I am still just dumbfound that this thing didn't get better graphics scores... i reinstalled vista and it still showed the same scores... i'm not impressed
Pros: does what it is suppose to
Cons: blue light is a little bright, but not a problem for me because I have it in a Lenovo ThinkCentre... the area where the light is, is covered. Works awesome in my little HTPC Software takes FOREVER to install, but I'm only expecting codecs, i guess Really does suck Blu-Ray "won"
Overall Review: Buy the retail version !!! You definitely need the software to watch the HD stuff... i'm still bummed HD DVD isn't considered the winner right now, but I got the feeling it will be around a while since Sony told the Pr@n industry they can't use Blu-Ray... thus they are releasing their stuff on HD DVD... this happened to BetaMax didn't it???
Pros: Read Other Thoughts
Cons: well, if your score is only 5.0, that is bad news to me. I currently have the 3650 and my scores are: Gaming Graphics: 5.2 Graphics: 5.5 I'm running a Lenovo ThinkCentre M57 with 4GB 800 with ALL drivers and chipset current
Overall Review: I was hoping to hear better numbers than these... maybe other hardware issues are restricting those scores... I don't know if I should upgrade now or not :-(
Pros: Read Other thoughts
Cons: Read Other thoughts
Overall Review: You say your Vista rating went from 3 to 5.1, but that doesn't tell me about the video card. The 5.1 is your lowest performance score of everything tested. What was your Graphics and Gaming Graphics scores!!!???!!!??? Thanks
Pros: Solar Powered Key spacing, layout
Cons: NO Caps Lock light or way of knowing it's ON or OFF
Overall Review: Logitech should replace the NUMBER PAD with a TOUCHPAD MOUSE. This way I can have a wireless keyboard AND mouse!
