Excellent Case

Pros: This is a great case for almost anyone. It's cheap, looks great, and has great airflow. The specs don't say it and it's hard to tell from the pictures, but if you don't already know there are places for two 120mm fans at the front of the case. Contrary to some of the other reviews, the front foam dust filter IS REMOVABLE. It's held in place by folded parts of the metal grill. You just slip it out from under them. The front of the case, aside from looking great, has a unique texture. I like it, but that's personal preference I suppose. The only way to describe it is textured spray paint, if you've ever used it. The fans that come with the case are new Antec TwoCool fans. If you couldn't guess, they're two-speed fans. The switches are on the back of the case. They're nearly silent. With the side of the case off and only the fans and PSU running, I could just barely hear them on high.
Cons: The first and biggest con I have with this case is that it was dented during shipping since there wasn't much space between the side of the box and the case itself. Thankfully it wasn't anything very noticable, but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. There isn't a dust filter on the side panel, which is expected, though a bit silly. The grill sticks out a bit from where a fan would be, though, so you could add one without much trouble. As others have said, the case shows fingerprints. Nothing major as long as you don't plan to be touching the top/sides all the time. Not toolless, but that's a non-issue for most people. Along with the fingerprints, this only really matters if you're going to be in and out of your case all the time.
Overall Review: What does UPS do that could possibly damage shipped items so often? Do they employ deranged people who like to kick every package as it goes by? At least the dent is small and only 1/8 inch deep. Not worth the money it'd take to have the case replaced. This is a great case for anyone who isn't planning to be in and out of their computer every week. It's cheap and cool - in both senses of the word. You can use the twist-ties that come on the fan cables to tie route the two power cables to the upper right corner of the rear fan, then down and to the left corner. They'll hang down right next to your PSU.
Good Motherboard, Bad Set up

Pros: Overall, the board is very good. If it weren't for the nightmare of a time I had with the initial setup, I would have given it 5 eggs. Now that I figured out the issue, it's rock-solid and I'd buy another since it's an easy fix. Very good overclocker, runs cool, pretty in-depth BIOS. Using BIOS version P06 there are very indepth features I wasn't expecting on a budget board like this - down to the nitty-gritty memory voltages. Posts in less than 5 seconds. Supports S3 sleep mode - and resumes from S3 as fast as you can press the button and sit up. Overclocks well, and even has overclock profiles so you can save your settings and switch overclocks/keep settings through a CMOS reset. 10 slots if I remember correctly.
Cons: The rear IO shield is made to support the non-GTI Flaming Blade, so there are some empty holes - but who cares about the back anyway? Didn't automatically recognize any of my memory settings (OCZ 3GB 1333). Had to set voltage, timings, and speed manually. It was only booting 1/3 tries (was giving "overclock failed" prompt at default settings) until I upped the voltage of the X58 IOH Core from 1.1V to 1.12V. This was REALLY annoying and took well over 12 hours to isolate. If you're having issues with this, this could be your fix.
Overall Review: Use the BIOS live updater utility, not the manual downloads. It's easier and it also found a more recent version than any of the manual downloads. Worked in Windows 7 x64, so I'd assume it will work for any (Windows) OS. Didn't need the included CD at all. Windows 7 found all the proper drivers automatically, and I'd OC from BIOS anyway. i7 920 OCZ DDR3 3GB 1333Hz Radeon HD 4870 Rosewill Green Series 630W PSU Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB Sony Optiarc CD/DVD RW Antec 200 Case
Decent RAM

Pros: Fast, stable, cheap. Has a heat spreader. Not much else to say.
Cons: Mediocre overclocking. Couldn't push 'em past ~1420, even after loosening timings. Motherboard didn't detect any of the memory settings by default. Had to set voltages/timings/etc. by hand. Most likely the mobo, but thought I'd note it here.
Overall Review: Running an i7 920 at 3675, memory at 1400, default timings.
Fast, But Loud

Pros: Works very fast without any errors. It does what it's supposed to. Not much else to say.
Cons: Very loud in regards to both tray opening and disc spinning. Easily one of the loudest parts of my computer.
Overall Review: If you're a sound freak, stay away, otherwise I'd recommend it.
Cool, Quiet, Red

Pros: They're fans and they push air. Not a massive amount, but plenty of it. Quiet. They're not super-silent, but they're definately not loud. 3 of these were about as loud as i7 920 stock cooler at idle. My cpu and gpu fans at load are MUCH louder than these. Make sure you install them correctly, though. There are arrows on the side that indicate air direction and the orientation of the fan. I didn't test it, but typically fans are louder if not oriented correctly. The LEDs are bright RED. Not the reddish-orange you get with some other fans.
Cons: When off, the fans are transparent-pink. This is only an issue if the fan would be fairly visible (only clear acryllic in front of it, for example). Behind any opaque fan grill this isn't noticable. And who cares what it looks like when it's off, anyway?
Overall Review: Put three of these in an Antec 200.
Completely Silent

Pros: Four 12v rails means this should be able to handle all but the craziest of computers. The fan is completely and utterly silent. I can't hear it even when my ear is next to it. That said, it doesn't push an amazing amount of air, but doesn't seem like it needs to. I got this PSU for only $46 (sale + promo code). Couldn't be happier.
Cons: Cons....? Nope.
Overall Review: After replacing my old computer, I think I might need to turn up the heat. Seriously, that thing was a space heater and LOUD. Glad to be rid of both of those issues.
