burns smoothly

Pros: Works really good with my NEC ND-3520A. Burned about 20 disks, no errors at all.
Cons: None
Overall Review: VERBATIMis an excellent brand for DVD media.
a budget case

Pros: Low price. Light-weight but somewhat strong materials. Front USB and audio.
Cons: 1. No place for a front fan. 2. Very poor design. First of all, if an ATX motherboard is installed, it will prevent CD/DVD drives from installing in the bottom 2 external 5.25'' bays. The ATX motherboard blocks the way of these 2 5.25'' drives! Practically, only the upper 2 (instead of 4 in the product description) external 5.25'' bays are available if an ATX motherboard is used. In addition, depending on the layout of your ATX motherboard, a 3.5'' hard drive installed in the 3.5'' internal bay may have close contact with the motherboard. In my case, it is very inconvenient to plug in an IDE cable because of the close contact.
Overall Review: They may improve the internal design by moving the internal 5.25'' and 3.5'' bays a little away or above from the motherboard area.
good board
Pros: Runs great! Easy to install. Powerful BIOS for overclocking. Easy BIOS update under Windows. Rounded EIDE cables. 6 SATA RAID. Bonus items in the package. Excellent technical support from Epox.
Cons: Some features do not meet my high expectation. 1. BIOS only supports FSB up to 250 MHz, which is a little low for enthusiastic overclockers. 2. AMD Cool'n'Quiet technology is supported when only one memory module is installed. If you put in two or three memories, the BIOS won't enable Cool'n'Quiet. See http://www.epox.com/USA/article.asp?ID=1742&showsupportlinks=YES for detail. I contacted Epox, and they told me this is the limitation of the chipset (VIA K8T800). I am not sure whether NVIDIA nForce3 250Gb chipset does. However, quick service from Epox. 3. Cool'n'Quiet driver included in the disk is actually for Windows 2000. You need to download drivers for other systems (XP or Linux) from AMD website.
highly recommended!

Pros: Have it for almost a month. It runs cool and quiet. ATX 2.01, which means high efficiency. Lots of connectors. Works with both motherboards with 20-pin and 24-pin power connectors.
Cons: None
