Pros: Very well built, very well thought out, and looks nice. Stamped motherboard standoffs! No rough edges. The whole thing comes apart by simply removing one screw on the back. The cover can be padlocked, if for some reason you need to. I love how everything in it either clips in or swings out. The floppy drive, CD drive, and hard drive cages all slide out. Even the fan on the side easily tips out by removing a screw. The ring around the power button glows blue, and glowing blue rings are always a plus. And the light doesn't temporarily blind you if you look at it, like the lights on some other cases do. The brightness is just right.

Cons: I can definitely see the CD drive door breaking off... But if you're careful, it should be fine. The USB port door requires an unusually large amount of force to get it to click shut. I thought mine was broken at first, because it just wouldn't click shut as easily as the CD door did. The reset button is recessed, so you need to find a pen or something to push it. Could have used an instruction manual. Yes, we geeks don't need no stinking manuals, but this is one of those rare cases where one would have helped a little... The PSU fan became noticeably louder after only 10 minutes of running, not really a big deal.

Overall Review: I had a little trouble finding where the hard drive goes. At first, I spent 5 minutes trying to get it to go into the floppy drive cage. I knew something was horribly wrong, but I did it anyway because I just didn't see any other place for it. As I was closing the case up, I noticed there was a perfect 3.5inch wide spot under the CD/floppy drive cages. So I spent another 5 minutes figuring out how to get the hard drive cage out. I finally figured out that sliding black plastic bottom of the case towards you seems to unlock the HD cage, allowing it to swing up. My system is running very cool in this case, as it has a vent just about everywhere. In fact, I wouldn't have even needed to use 80mm fan on the side, if it weren't for my scalding hot hard drive. The power supply was nicer than I had expected. It's very stable. And for those who are wondering, the PSU does indeed have a SATA connector, and 20+4 pin motherboard connector.

Pros: It was free? The box is nice.

Cons: It's taking up perfectly good space on my shelf.

Overall Review: Who here actually uses this thing? Seriously.

Pros: 72 minute run time with my 90 watt computer connected. Pure sine wave! Very nice looking and HEAVY unit. Display has lots of useful information, alarm can be easily muted. Batteries are easily replaceable, front panel just slides down and off after removing two screws. Transition from wall power to battery is as smooth as butter for me.

Cons: Can't find any yet.

Overall Review: When you first power it up, the UPS will say the batteries are charged, but they're not. Be sure to let it charge for the full 8 hours before putting a load on the batteries. That initial charge is very important for the overall health of the batteries. The batteries are standard 1290's stacked on top of each other. They're just taped together and connected in series.

Pros: Low cost, full size DDR3 slots, BIOS GUI is nice.

Cons: Only 2 sata ports, no way to control system fan speeds.

Overall Review: The DDR3L thing scared me away at first. Turns out this just means to can use low power sticks as well as normal 1.5V sticks. I built this to replace an old Core2 Duo system that died. This thing is nearly as fast, but runs much cooler and is totally silent. I love it.

Pros: Looks good. Supports a full size ATX PSU (no extra hardware needed, remove the adapter plate first). USB 3.0 ports. Love that each panel comes off separately, so you only have to remove the one you need when fiddling with something. Plenty of ventilation.

Cons: Case feels kinda cheap. There are some sharp edges and I can't get front panel to stay on securely. Layout is a little funky, I've got a hard drive in the back mounted upside down over the motherboard and one it the front...

Overall Review: There are better designed mini towers in this price range.

Pros: Great price! Has two PWM fan headers and fan speed can be fine tuned. This thing sips power, I'm using a 300 watt Seasonic which I realize now is laughably overkill. It supports uefi booting, which was a surprise to me. I was expecting the old school wall of text while booting, but it shows a nice looking motherboard logo with the Windows 8 boot animation just like the more expensive boards. It boots FAST with Windows 8.

Cons: ATX PSU connector can be a pain to get on (connect it before mounting inside the case or you might break something). Front panel headers aren't labeled, you have to refer to the manual like the old days.

Overall Review: Integrated boards have come a long way. Using this in a budget Windows 8 HTPC build for my sister. I can't believe how well it performs! Using Windows Media Center with a HVR-2250 and everything works just fine. I always figured one of these would agonizingly slow, but I was wrong. It handles web browsing and 1080p youtube watching just fine. Don't get me wrong, you CAN get it to bog down at times if you do too much at once. But for basic things, it's more than fine.
