Outstanding case

Pros: Absorbs knocks and toddler slime very, very well. Most impressively, it took a direct shot of projectile tater tot barf with no leakage!
Cons: Flap hinges are not very durable -- one that covers the power/data slot ripped off five months in.
Edit: Not even three hours - pass on this one

Pros: None
Cons: Edit: couple of weeks use and it doesn't even last three hours.
Overall Review: Look elsewhere
Outstanding

Pros: - screaming fast - dead silent unless under heavy load, then merely low fan hum (significantly quieter than a reference GTX 670 - then again, what isn't) - would be hardly audible in a quieter case; the Carbide 500r lets ALL noise out - good construction - software allows one click for a good overclock (will fine tune later) as well as lighting control (or off) and fan profile (set to silent) - one of the lowest priced AIB cards and still rocks solid overclocks
Cons: None
Overall Review: Get you one.
Horrific Backup Software Included

Pros: Solid construction, seems to be a pretty fast drive if used without the included backup software.
Cons: Do not buy this as a backup solution unless you already have good drive-agnostic backup software. The included NTI Backup Now EZ is garbage - great looking interface but ludicrously slow backups, even the differentials. Avoid this software like the plague.
