Pros: The "SATA III" cable that came with my HDD wouldn't work on the 6Gb header, only on the 3Gb. This one works. It's very affordable for the performance level I would say...

Cons: It doesn't twist well. Couldn't they turn one of the ends 90 degrees so it would seamlessly go from the rear facing HDD port to the MoBo header! AGGGHHH! SO AGRIVATING!

Pros: -Looks great. My theme for my build was all black and this one is very clean looking. -Easy to work on for a mid-tower case -Bottom vent opening is a nice way to move cool air to the GPU. -Metal where it needs to be, plastic on the trim.

Cons: -Too thin. It will only accomodate cpu-coolers under 155mm in height, so if you want a vertical cooler, this might be a bad option. -Water Performer 2.0 radiator was forced to mount too close to the side based on vent/skrew location. This meant to fit it I had to bend the edge of the case where the panel is held on a little bit.

Overall Review: Stock fans are weak (but quiet). This wasn't much of a cooling issue, just boring so I filled it with fans and now it's a loud jet turbine...A skeumorph which makes me feel like my computer is powerful.
