Pros: - Extremely fast. Windows 7 x64 boot time is fast, ~15 seconds. Once your desktop appears, you can start opening apps, No waiting around. Level / Map transitions in games load up fast. I have Crysis and Fallout 3 installed on it, and the load times are much quicker in both. - TRIM. Had to update to the latest firmware, and backed my SATA driver back to msahci.sys in order for trim to work.

Cons: - Price. ~ $3.75 per gigabyte vs. $0.10 per gigabyte for a regular WD Caviar Black 7200 rpm drive. 37.5 times more expensive!

Overall Review: The price may be outrageous, but that being said, I believe that the Intel X25-M 80GB 2nd generation is worth every penny. If you are looking to squeeze a little more life out of an old desktop, or even a laptop,this may be the best bang for your buck, but if you play graphical demanding games, a better video card may be the route that you want to take, such as a GTX 285 for roughly the same price.

Pros: - Great cooling with 2 front 125mm intake fans, 1 rear 125mm exhaust fan and 1 top 200mm exhaust fan. - Nice layout. I like the PSU in the bottom of the case. - Plenty of room. I have a large CPU heatsink, Prolimatech Megahalems w/ 2 Yate 120mm fans in push/pull config exhausting up. Fit into the case, no problem, although I did have to "modify" the side mount intake fan in order for it to clear the heatsink fan. - Was able to hide most cables by running them behind the MB. - Washable / Filtered Intake Fans keep the inside of the case dust free. - Configurable drive bays with mount for an internal fan (I have it configured so that a 125mm Yate fan is blowing across the RAM heatsinks). - Fan speed controllers

Cons: - The PCI and PCIe slots use screws to hold in the cards and slot covers. I would prefer a screwless design, because of my clumbsy fingers always dropping the screws down onto my MB. - Difficult to remove fan filters.

Overall Review: - Beautiful case with the blue led fan lights. Looks great at night. - Kind of wish now that I had went with the bigger Antec 1200 full tower. I will be hard press to "easily" install any other components into this case, although it can be done. Installing a 2nd video card in SLI will require re-configuring my drive bay layouts, due to the length of the 285 GTX cards. Not a fault of Antecs though.

Pros: - Easy to overclock i7 920 to 4GHz with this board. - Enough room for a large cpu heatsink with fans. I'm using a Prolimatech Megahalems with 2 Yate 120mm fans in push/pull - Future proof with SATA III and USB 3.0 - Beautiful looking board in my Antec 902 case.

Cons: - PCIe slots layout could limit the use of the 2 PCI slots if you go SLI. But who really uses those PCI slots for anything now days?

Pros: - Smoking fast. I received a D0, and was able to OC it to 4.0GHz, no problem, with peak temps at load staying below 80 with using LinX and Prime95 to test. Using Prolimatech Megahalems heatsink with 2 120mm Yate fans in Push/Pull configuration to cool this puppy.

Pros: - Runs Crysis with all settings maxed out without skipping a beat. - Haven't tried OCing it yet, but I expect good results. Plus, its EVGA, so it comes with a lifetime warranty. Be sure to go to EVGA's website and register your product if you want this warranty. I have had EVGA cards die in the past due to OCing, RMAed, no questions asked, for free!

Cons: - I want a 2nd one now for SLI :)

Overall Review: Well worth the money.
