They get the job done.
Pros: The single connector simplifies hard drive connections. Good long cords.
Cons: No latches. Knew that when I got em though.
Overall Review: SATA cable is much longer than the molex cable. Something to consider when you are looking for neat wiring.
fast
Pros: win7 installed automatically. put in a new build, didn't have to connect it to a LAN cable once. detected my N network, and is fast. can be used in any pci-e slot (even x16) it works and is fast (in case you don't have a pci-ex1 slot)
Cons: stock antennae are kind of weak.
Overall Review: i think that the con is just from interference of my case and being next to the wall. got two external antennae to put on top of my case and i get full strength on the other side of my house.
perfect
Pros: everything works. great transfer speeds. usb slot included. win7 installed drivers automatically. looks nice. no cheap parts. perfect.
Cons: none.
Overall Review: bought a lian li card reader to match my case. lets just say they make cases better than card readers. got this one to replace it and its perfect. the front is plastic, but it still has a nice finish and all the card slots are aligned perfectly and working perfectly.
Critical for Good Cooling
Pros: Gets CPUs and heatsinks ready for grease. Cleans like a pro.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I used to use Alcohol to remove thermal grease, it did the job but no where near as fast or easy as this stuff. Even if you use it once, it will be worth purchasing. A must have if you change out heatsinks/CPUs often.
brrrr
Pros: keeps my AMD x4 965BE overclocked to 4.1 at 40c idle ~50c under load in push pull config with stock fan push and lian li 1500 in pull.
Cons: doesn't come with mounting hardware for 2 fans.
Overall Review: i put the corsair fan on the outside of my case blowing in to the rad to free up space inside. works like a dream. also, I got better temps with AS-5 grease than with the pad that came with the cooler.
stunning, lightweight, roomy case
Pros: anodized black aluminum outside, painted black inside, great cable management. lots of cooling. holds H50 and Raedon 5870 xl card. hard drive bay is genius, blue ring looks nice, front doesn't restrict airflow. bottom mounted psu. all around great case.
Cons: none. case will scratch easy if you aren't careful but electronics cleaning wipes make most scuffs not noticable
Overall Review: this case is holding an msi 890fxa-gd70, mushkin joule 1.2kw psu, 2 optical drives, 1 card reader, corsair h50 cooler 3 hard drives, and an xl gpu with still lots of space to spare. I love it. You will too.
