Pros: It works. I've got my 2.13ghz Core 2 Duo clocked up past 3.2ghz and stays nice and cool with this. It looks good too. The combination of the LED fan and the beautiful copper look great.

Cons: Big and heavy. The spring clip that secures it has quite a lot of tension which makes installing it a bit difficult.

Overall Review: Fits great on my P5W DH Deluxe board in a Thermaltake Swing case. I've read many cooler reviews and the 9700 is always near the top of the list. When you add in the good looks and Zalman quality I think this one is a winner. It's pretty quiet. Silent at all but the highest fan speeds, and even then it is still barely noticable. It comes with a speed controller which I didn't use. I prefer to use the Speedfan utility.

Pros: Very cool looking RGB lighting

Cons: Poor performance Lousy software Failed after 9 months Poor customer service

Overall Review: The mounting hardware is nice quality but the pump mounting standoffs are a tiny bit too long making it nearly impossible to get a snug fit of the pump on the cpu. The CAM software is unstable. I've updated it many times over the last year and it still crashes and often fails to start. After 9 months the pump failed. I've submitted a ticket to NZXT but it's been over a week since I sent my proof of purchase etc. and I am still waiting to hear from them. I've had to purchase and install a fan to be able to use my computer while I wait.

Pros: Very fast!. I replaced a standard WD SATA boot drive. On my system Window XP boots in less that 1/3 the time after installing this drive. All my programs load in a fraction of the time they did before.

Cons: Expensive.

Pros: HDD access LED works, looks good, no drawer. Most of the mobile bays I looked at either don't have a HDD access LED or require that you plug one into the motherboard headder. If your like me you already have something plugged in there. This one just works all on it's own. It looks great and you don't have to buy a collection of extra drawers to change drives. Just stuff a bare sata drive in and it works.

Cons: Small fan, no drawer. The fan is a little small and I don't think it does much. My drive runs about 2C hotter than it did when mounted in front of a 120mm case fan. It doesn't use a drive drawer so you have to be careful with a bare unprotected drive after you remove it from the rack.

Overall Review: I love mobile drive bays. For years I have used them for backup. I use disk imaging software like Drive Image to copy my C:drive to a removable disk. This way I always have a copy of my computer stored away from my computer. The fact that this unit doesn't use a drawer is both a plus and a minus. The plus is that you don't have to purchase extra drawers. Some racks don't even offer spare drawers so you have to buy entire racks just to get extra drawers. On the other hand with out a drawer the drive is unprotected after you remove it. It would be nice if someone sold a cheap little padded box to store the removed drives in.

Pros: Can't beat the price.

Cons: A tiny bit slower than some other drives.

Overall Review: I got this for my old Win98 machine because 120GB is all that operating system can handle.

Pros: XP Pro has a lot of features that make it a better choice than XP home if you are at all geeky and want do do more then just basic computing.

Cons: Expensive.

Overall Review: XP Pro comes with an upgrade coupon for a higher end of Vista then you get with the Home version of XP. Check the upgrade matrix if you are planning on moving to Vista.
