Pros: -Great looking case with the minimalist aesthetic that I like. -Lots of room for fans. And also a great case to fit a 2x120 radiator on the top for a water cooling loop. -very modular and easy to route cables/wires behind the mobo tray.

Cons: -If you're using noisy fans or a pump inside the case you're going to hear it. The case is well vented.

Pros: -If you're looking for a non X-FI card that uses PCI-e and has optical in/out this is probably the card you want to buy.

Cons: -If you think this is an X-FI card this is NOT the card you want to buy. As previously mentioned in reviews (that I didn't notice at the time of purchase) this card is really a re-branded Audigy. And the worst part is that when you select the item's specs Newegg reports that it's got an X-FI chipset which it indeed does not.

Pros: -Very nice looking and laid out board with lots of passive cooling -Very customizable BIOS for overclocking -Easy BIOS flash feature (which you'll need)

Cons: -As previously mentioned the BIOS can (and will) clock your processor incorrectly. My processor had the wrong multiplier settings that were auto detected. I had to upgrade to the F5 BIOS so that it would detect these settings properly. I believe it was also setting the voltages incorrectly because when I tired to get the stock settings out of my processor it would have stability issues.
