Pros: I have to say that I am very impressed - very well worth the money. I bought the one with the side window. The case is not dead silent, but it helps mute out a lot of the noise as possible - will probably be even more quiet when I upgrade my graphics card to a more quiet, efficient one. Remember - getting a silent case is half the battle, buying quiet parts will ensure that the build will be quiet as possible. I am downsizing from a 2007 Coolermaster Cosmos S (aka wind tunnel) and I can say that I am more than satisfied with what Fractal Designs has to offer. It is very stylish, sleek and minimalistic. Not for people who want flashy gimmicky LED- alien-esque builds, but more for people building efficient workstations or gaming rigs who still want to make a great impression on anyone looking at it. Trust me, a case says a lot about the person who owns their computer. Clothes make the man, well in a way so does a computer case. Despite the stylistic choice, I found that it did not lack on cable management options and that it was quite easy to install my essential components. The hard drive cages are great, they swivel to your preference and makes the cable management look even better and more tidy if you install your HDD's in the default position. I have 4 hard drives, 3 of them are mechanical 500TB's and they barely make any sounds other than slight clicking noises. Another great part about this case is that since I lack a modular PSU (meaning I have one with a billion cables that I don't use) I found that there was plenty of space behind the motherboard to tuck those extra candles away without the side panel bowing, which was a tremendous problem in my previous cooler master case. All of the panels in this case of noise dampening foam in them, and not the cheap kind either. Overall, 5 stars on a brilliant, hassle free case. It is a modder's dream.

Cons: The power LED light on the top of the case is a bit on the bright side, as noted by other reviewers. Be VERY careful when listing this case. Your first instinct is to put your right hand underneath the front area of thecae (where the door is) and put your other hand in the back. Do not life the case this way, as you may disassemble the front panel completely by accident. Luckily the cables that connect the front I/O connecters to the rest of the case can be re-connectable if this happens, preventing those wires from snapping or completely breaking in two. Just be very careful when lifting, I would recommend tilting the case on its side and then lifting it from its sides instead. The acrylic side panel window has a tendency to accumulate dust as it is rather static-y. The window is also very dark which makes it kind of hard to see into the case, which can kinda suck if you were like me and outgrew LED parts. I can barely see anything inside the case. Other than that, no real cons as of yet

Overall Review: Just buy it, you will have no regrets

Pros: This is a BEAST of a card. Upgraded from a GTX 470. This card doesn't even run hot, and the previous one was a toaster. Extremely quiet and looks cool with the dragon on the backplate. Configurable LED logo for the win. Future-proofing for the win. Less power consumption than the AMD equivalent. Overall I am a very happy camper. Luckily I bought one before it got sold out again.

Cons: Mine had a wicked coil whine. It's more than likely going to happen to every card out there with this generation so it was expected. What I did was fire up Windows index and played Skyrim on maxed settings for a while. Eventually the whine subsided and now it doesn't do it anymore. DON'T return this card if it has a coil whine, just "break it in" and keep using it until it stops. Not worth knocking down an egg for. As for the ram issue, who cares? You're definitely getting your money's worth with this card. And you never get the full amount of advertised space for any computer part anyways. Look at your computer's RAM and boot disk info... do you ever get the full amount of space that was advertised?

Pros: This memory is very stable. I'm not one to mess with voltages or timings, but if you use a lot of memory intensive programs like video/photo editing, or if you like to play video games on max settings while browsing the web while streaming to Twitch simultaneously, this RAM does the job very well.

Cons: Been using this RAM for years and have had no issues, except for installing the new sticks. For some reason my motherboard couldn't boot at first when I popped them in, but what worked was swapping out the old RAM DIMMS with the new ones, booting up, shutting it off and then adding the older DIMMS in the other slots. Now it boots just fine and recognizes the 16 gigs with no issues. Not worth knocking an egg off.

Pros: I had another Zalman product (CNPS 9700) that was all aluminum. It was a lot larger than this product, but I downsized because I was buying a new processor and wasn't overlocking this time. I found that this little guy could cool just as efficiently as the larger 9700, plus it is easier to clean. It comes in VERY close to my memory though, so if your memory has large heatsinks on them be careful using this product. I was lucky that I was still able to fit this product on my motherboard.

Overall Review: love the "wheel" design of the heatsink but wish that these manufacturers would be more mindful of coming too close to the memory modules

Pros: As a veteran of the original Goldeneye for the N64, I'd have to give this game a standing ovation. People need to understand that this game technically isn't a remake of the original, it's more like a "re-imaging" of the original that's more accurate to the movie, but still maintains its originality. People also need to realize that even though this FPS lacks compared to other complex shooters, that the original wasn't that great either when stacked against it's PC rivals. Yes, this game has it's cons, much like the original, but all of them can be easily overlooked. This game is really addicting and the functionality of the Wii console brings more variety to the Goldeneye name this time around. Overall, I think this game did a really outstanding job at capturing the essence of the original; the way the camera zooms and shakes, to how all of the guns handle, you can still feel and see some of the qualities that made the original so great.

Cons: Here are some cons I heard about this game all around the net. I will list some of them and disprove them. 1. They replaced Pierce Brosnan with Daniel Craig (matter of preference) 2. It has certain missions not seen in the movie (the original did that too) 3. It's too casual of an FPS and lacks compared to other FPS's (the original was meant to be like that too; back then, all console FPS's were considered to be too casual compared to their PC counterparts) 4. The graphics are terrible (for a Wii game, they're really good, actually..) 5. The controls are too sensitive with the Zapper (adjust the sensitivity; the game goes over this in the first mission. Also, you can use a GameCube controller, I find them to be more FPS friendly) 6. They make it too easy with regenerating health (try 007 Classic Mode) The only real cons I found in this game are the lack of a multi-player voice chat function, and melee attacks being one hit knock-outs.

Overall Review: Compared to the first time I played Goldeneye for the N64, I was amazed because nothing like it was ever released on a console. I was also a kid at the time. Goldeneye Wii couldn't possibly make the same impact as the original did, mainly due to how common FPS games are these days, and how much they've advanced. So if you're looking for something new and innovative in terms of gameplay, don't expect a lot out of this game. It makes a great stealth shooter, the alert sounds make it as exciting as the Metal Gear ones. Shootouts are just as fun, especially in the highly addicting multiplayer, which complements the original's as well. All in all, with cons aside, Goldeneye vets will get a true sense of nostalgia when playing this game, and newcomers will have a blast, just like how all of us vets did back in 1997. Just think of it as "Goldeneye: With a new face."

Pros: - auto - overclocked my Phenom 2 X4 965 B.E to a stable 3.9GHz @ 40c - tons of other overclocking features, I got my RAM over 1800MHz - Easy UI to work with (beginner friendly) - Gave me no problems whatsoever.

Cons: I did hear about a Northbridge problem where the heatsink/thermal compound on the board does not make contact with said part. Just make a quick check on your board to see if you have that problem, but I do believe at this point that Asus has fixed all of them now. If you do have problems, look it up on the forums as there are easy ways to fix that issue. My overall system runs at 37c with my RAM and CPU overclocked.

Overall Review: Buy it if you're new to building computers, it made installation a snap and I learned how to navigate the BIOS in a matter of minutes. I've never even opened a BIOS screen before and I mastered this board, that's how easy Asus makes it for you. Buy it now if you decide to go AMD. There is an Intel equivalent called the Rampage series (ROG) if you want something similar. Enjoy! System Specs: Phenom 2 X4 965 B.E Zalman CNPS 9700 NT (heatsink) with AC5 4 gigs DDR3 G.
