Pros: Forget those other guys. Newegg just gave me 8 Ports for $10, free shipping and received it overnight (I live in LA area), just plugged it in and it works - Who can beat that?

Cons: None!

Overall Review: If and when this switch stops working I will update this review. So since I haven't updated it yet, you can be confident it is still working!

Pros: When you get a board that works, it seems to work well.

Cons: I had to have the first motherboard replaced because the onboard CPU video stopped working after about an hour – no biggie it happens. But the reason for my low rating is the disappointing THREE WEEK experience I had with Biostar’s technical and customer service. The first week was spent working with technical support through email (1 and only 1 per day) to convince them there was a problem. The second week was waiting to hear from them after I overnighted the board to them (at my expense). I finally had to call them to find out that they had confirmed the problem and would ship out a replacement. The 3rd week was waiting for the replacement that finally arrived with overnight shipping. When it arrived there was no note, no apology, and no refund of my shipping costs.

Overall Review: Over the course of these three weeks not one person ever demonstrated the slightest sympathy, sense of urgency, or initiative to resolve the problem. Since I interacted with several different people, I believe this to more of a company culture problem than a randomly bad service rep. For these reasons, I have already decided to replace this board because I cannot take the chance that it will fail in the future and it will take another 3 weeks to get a replacement.

Pros: I bought this PS specifically because I wanted an inexpensive quiet PS and this is just what the doctor ordered.

Cons: Like a previous reviewer noted, there are too many cables and they clutter my small case.

Overall Review: If you are trying to minimize the noise of your PC this is a very good PS to have. I have a Thermaltake PurePower 500 in my other PC and it is super quiet as well. I wasn't sure this budget model would be as quiet, but it is.

Pros: Price - Paid $20 (shipping included) Ample space for fans, large heat sinks, multiple HDs Finish - Graphite like paint job with nice look and feel Cool little micro case fan that's independent from case

Cons: Sides are flimsy, be careful when putting back on case Device for holding down expansion cards is annoying Some sharp edges where PSU goes

Overall Review: As my title says, at $20 this case is 5 stars all the way. At $30+ I give it 4 stars. Minor gripes include: Where the HDs go, it is assumed you will have a front fan. But since I don't need one, It would be nice to have another set of holes that would allow me to mount my hard drive further in; The device for holding down expansion cards is more work than just using screws, plus I forgot to secure it before placing the case on my desk and ended up scratching my desk; be real careful putting the sides back on as they can be easily bent if everything is not aligned perfectly and you use too much force. Regarding other comments I read: I have had no problem with ungrounded USB ports. My home has a lot of static and I have not had a problem with grounding or re-booting. Also, both sides of the case do come off even though only one side has thumb screws. The other side has real screws. Case cables/wires were long enough for my PC Chips A31G v1.1 mobo.

Pros: Allows me to run my desktop PC without the original noisy chipset fan.

Cons: Doesn't seem to cool much better than the original heat sink did with the fan disconnected.

Overall Review: The original heat sink fan combination kept the temperature at 41/47C at Idle/Load respectively. W/O the fan the original heat sink kept the temperature at 44/49. The Zalman heat sink registers 43/48. The Zalman heat sink is much more massive than the original sink. I think the reason it doesn't work as well as it could, is that the original sink had a gasket that surrounded the chip which probably forced more of the heat into the sink. Just guessing. On my board (ECS nForce4M-A V3.0) the Zalman was easy to install by re-using the clip that held down the original heat sink.
