Great case!
Pros: The case is great, used all stock fans except the front 2 120mm's.. Decided I wanted to use some Red LED ones to identify that amchine vs others.
Cons: The only issue I have, was the harddrive cages themself, they slide in very awkward way, never got them in right, but it worked. Also the rails I bought to go with this are the worst ever, not even listed on rosewill's site anymore. So buy the case, but not the rails.
Decent Board
Pros: Decent medium sized board, runs a quality processor and 24gb of ram which is perfect for even the highest games.
Cons: Wish the north bridge had a fan, for overclocking. If you plan to overclock, I recommend learning to do manual overclock. I got much better performance, and an all around more solid performance from manual over having the system control it.
Overall Review: Decent board for what I do, sadly I bought this weeks before the 1155's became popular. so a little bummed there, but overall great board!
not bad
Pros: Nice system, keeps a quad core Xeon CPU nice and cool without any mods, was sort of a pain getting the mounting plates to fit cause of the chipset cooling on my Evga 790i SLI, but I made it work. Just hoping there are no future leaks.
Cons: Newegg should stock just bottles of this systems coolant, would be nice to have extra on hand for changes/flushes or leaks.
Good Board
Pros: Good overall performance from an intel based server
Cons: Chassis is a pain, made for blade type setup hence will only work well in a blade style chassis
Overall Review: Intel should focus on ATX boards, would love to see this board in an ATX or EATX form factor
