Fast, Relatively cheap, very very quiet.

Pros: For the $, the price can't be beat, except only by this drives larger brother the 3Tb, both equate to $60/Tb. with 64Mb of cache, they have pretty impressive read/write speeds for a mechanical drive. These are probably the quietest mechanical drives I have ever owned.
Cons: 25% failure rate on this drive type. Ordered 4 and 1 was DOA, RMA'd to Newegg which is by far the easiest thing to do! Thank you Newegg for making frustrating tasks easy!
Overall Review: I ordered 4 of these to go into a Raid5 array. spin tested and ran HDTune on them within 30 minutes of the UPS guy dropping them off. 1 Failed to spin up at all. (3rd Drive tested) 3 Spun and spiked over 200 Mb/Sec and then averaged 165Mb/Sec. also, half of the drives had a different physical design. same controller card, different spindle motors. The brass spindle'd drives were slightly faster then the silver ones. Even with the recent quality concerns of Seagate, I still have better luck with them then I do with WD.
Not a good start, but...

Pros: I love the case, and features, plenty of space for raid cages and a twin processor 12x13 board. Case is easy to work with with not much prep work needed.
Cons: Power supply failed after 9 days.(- 1 Egg) RMA'd it to Athena since Newegg wanted the whole case shipped back and that would cost almost as much as a new PS. Pulled the power supply out to find that the warranty void if tampered sticker was already broken by someone prior to myself, and the case for the PS was not reassembled properly.
Overall Review: Besides the looming threat that Athena will not ship a new PS to me because newegg sold me used goods.... (- a second egg), perhaps that is why it didn't need much prep work O.o I love everything about the case, looks, features and functionality.

Pros: Seagate drives always work fine for me. Pretty run of the mill with 32Mb cache and Sata3.0
Cons: Packing on newegg's part. Minus 2 eggs for packing on both drives.
Overall Review: When I received these "Bare Drives", the bubble-wrap was popped on one side of the drives. Might as well have shipped them in a static bag without any bubble-wrap at all. 1 Drive fired up and tested good, the other clicked for about 2 hours before finally starting up. They ran pretty good for 2 months, now I'm getting RAID warnings about both logical drives failing periodic tests. Minus another 2 eggs for 2 failing drives Data is recoverable at this point as the drives are setup on a RAID1(mirroring) So they are staying alive long enough for me to backup the 900Gb of data. Plus 1 egg for survival characteristics
Awesome Inverter

Pros: This inverter took everything I could throw at it... Until it failed. And I have every intention of replacing it with the same model. I powered multiple power tools with it at the same time, and it didn't even struggle. I even powered a 33' Class A motor home off of it and to test the load, I turned on the A/C's in the RV and it was greater then 66% load, kicked the fans on and kept on going. It fits perfectly in my 05' Ram 3500 Quad-Cab on the floor between the Driver and Passenger. I have about 1/2" clearance between my cup holders and the inverter and its within arms reach so I can turn it on or off anytime!
Cons: It's pricey, but justifiably so.
Overall Review: The Inverter failed when it was connected to an RV and the deep cell charging system was being serviced. It was my fault and I inadvertently grounded out the inverter. It tried to provide the infinite amount of amperage my mistake was asking for and before the circuit breakers could trip, I blew out a transistor inside. Like I said, Totally my fault and I have every intention of replacing with the same make and model!
4DIMM Memory issue

Pros: Great motherboard for the price.
Cons: I had a similar issue to another review poster in that with G.Skill 4x1Gb memory, the board would constantly lock up, when all 4 chips were installed. less then 4 chips and it runs fine.
Overall Review: Never had a problem with MSI or ATI before, kinda stinks that this one failed
