Pros: Good value even when I first bought it two years ago, still a good value today. More than enough space for any internal drive needs. Easy to partition for a system/boot partition. Two years of gaming, and high temperatures in a home without air conditioning, this drive gave me no problems whatsoever.

Cons: The SATA 3.0Gb/s is slow compared to what is currently available. Not really a con, it's the nature of tech.

Overall Review: I went with another drive for my latest build, and with it, a solid state system drive. But not once did this drive give me reason to regret buying it, and it performed admirably as I'm sure it will continue to do so.

Pros: Robust options for OC. Very nice BIOS setup. Nice board layout overall. Functions very well when it is working.

Cons: As of now, I've owned it for a little over 7 months. Many driver issues have forced me to recover from a backup image. This latest issue is the last straw. The SATA ports are randomly failing, causing my machine to lock up. Upon reboot, the boot device can not be detected. I was able to get it up and running again after a lot of fighting with Windows recovery tools, but will be replacing this board as soon as I possibly can.

Overall Review: Asus products will have to prove their quality to me again before I purchase another one.

Pros: Budget powerhouse card. Quiet, and stays at fairly low temps. Runs everything at reasonable levels, no ultrahigh on the latest games, but that's to be expected. Overall a good buy.

Cons: Same with most new ATI releases, it takes them a while to get the drivers squared away. Problems at first, but since the drivers now seem to be sorted, all is well.

Overall Review: Happy with my purchase.

Pros: The case in it's entirety is solid enough. A good amount of fans already included (though I suspect they will need replacement prematurely). The front/top i/o panel is great, straight forward, with cables long enough to easily reach anywhere on the MB. There is one problem with the front panel which I'll list below. The optical drive front panel setup is nice. The drive door opens to push out a flap on the case so there isn't any mess with optical drive bay covers. I could list a lot of things that I like about this case, but as you will see below, there's a lot I don't like about it.

Cons: As has been mentioned, the plastic components are made with very cheap plastic. The kind of plastic that, if a toy were made of it, you wouldn't give the toy to your kid. The HDD bay setup is nice at first. But the bays are too small to properly fit a 3.5 drive, and the screws provided for the 2.5 drives leave too much wiggle, and the drive will rattle in the bay if something isn't done. I managed to use make shift washers for it. The fan filters are more difficult than they should be for cases that need to be cleaned on a regular basis. For all the fans inside, there isn't much air flow. The front panel card reader connection is pin based, and not clearly explained by the manual. It's a USB pin setup, but not incorporated with the other USB plugs. Unless you have the pin numbers memorized, you have to look-up the order for them to be plugged in. Once you do have them plugged in right, they do work fine.

Overall Review: Overall, I prefer my old case, but this one will do the job. It's by no means a bad case, it's just not a great case. Hopefully if I don't mess with it too much, none of the parts will break. My biggest concern is the fans. Time will tell.

Pros: Lights have 3 settings, low, high, and off. Good for when you have plenty of external lighting. Sturdy as one could hope for from any keyboard. Convenient key layout, no weird setup for the page up/down, home/end, insert/delete keys like some keyboards.

Cons: This is the second of these keyboards I've owned. The first one died after about a year and a half. But I'm fairly sure that was due to the power supply I had not putting out enough power to run everything I had. Long term effects of low power can play havoc on any component.

Overall Review: Still one of the best keyboards I've ever owned, not filled to the brim with useless doodads that as a gamer I wouldn't even use. Just a basic keyboard that can be used accurately in the dark.

Pros: Two optional fan mounts, one on the side, the other over the HDD cage. All the fans, optional and standard, have fan filters, less dust inside the case. It's amazingly quiet, even when the fans are on high. The top light can be turned off. The side panel behind the MB mounts has access holes to run cables so the case isn't cluttered with the internal connection cables, power/sata/etc. It gives you a choice between HD audio and Realtek standard audio for the front top external interface. This is by far the best case I've ever owned.

Cons: I don't know if you would call this a con, but the thing is very tall, I had to switch desks to make it fit. Could be too big for some people.

Overall Review: Plenty of room for two Radeon 5850's, an aftermarket CPU fan, and, well just about anything I put in there. The HDD cage setup is a bit annoying for swapping HDD's, but if you leave yours in unless it breaks like I do, you'll have no problems.
