Pros: Works great for connecting three case fans to a molex power supply.

Cons: They don't make a four fan version????

Overall Review: All joking aside this product is a great idea for people who have the same problem as me. I ran out of fan ports on my motherboard, and I was still able to power three more case fans with this product. Just remember that you will not be able to control the fans connected to this product in BIOS; they will run full blast all the time.

Pros: Quite, Cheap, Have a Molex Connection, Discounted if ordering more than one.

Cons: None noted yet.

Overall Review: I bought two of these to replace a couple old fans with failing barrings in my case. I hooked them up through molex, and at full blast they are extremely quite. Much quiter than the previous fans they replaced, and close to the same CFM.

Pros: Works perfectly for its intended purpose. Best price on Newegg for this type of item at the time I purchased it.

Cons: Plastic feels flimsy and kinda cheap, but I knew it would not be the quality of a metal adapter when I purchased the product.

Overall Review: This product works great for putting a my 3.5 inch card reader into a 5.25 inch bay.

Pros: Works perfectly. Good price.

Cons: Downgrades USB 3.0 font ports to USB 2.0 performance, but this is obvious and was expected.

Overall Review: I bought this to connect my new case's USB 3.0 front ports to my Mobo's USB 2.0 connectors. It works great for this need.

Pros: Looks nice. Side panel window to show off your components. Tons of single card GPU setup room. Two USB 3.0 front ports. The built in SSD trays are a cool idea. Room for cable management. Priced right. Great airflow! Comes with three fans (2 led front fans and 1 rear fan). Plenty of room for more fans. Fans are quite on full blast. It is a nice looking budget case.

Cons: Arrived damaged on bottom, although I was able to finish my build out after bending it back out. Has dust filters on the bottom and top, bot not on the front (Why would I need to filter the exhaust air going out the top, but not the intake air from the front?). I had planned to deck out every available fan mount in this case, but I was unable to. This was due to the top rear conflicting with my push/pull Cooler Master Seidon 120V radiator. I wish I would have known about this as any 120mm radiator in the rear fan slot would have caused this conflict. The built in SSD trays are a cool idea, but are facing a different direction than the HDD bays. This forced me to run 2 cables from my power supply. I think i would have liked them much better had they been facing the same way as the HDD bays.

Overall Review: Overall it is a great budget case. It looks nice, will fit a massive single card GPU set up, and has excellent airflow even with the couple problems I mentioned. For the price I paid after rebate I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a budget case with some cool features.

Pros: Extremely easy set up, seriously plug and play. Work well for my intended use (connecting my PS3 to my router). At the time I purchased these from Newegg the price was impossible to beat.

Cons: None noted as of yet.

Overall Review: I purchased this power line adapter starter kit in order to connect my PS3 to my DLNA enabled router. I have been creating Blue-ray rips, and the high bit rate lagged on the wifi connection of the PS3. By wiring the PS3 in with these I am able to stream high quality 1080p, 5.1 audio rips with zero lag.
