Pros: Works extremely well, the fan is a beast and removes a ton of air. Works great right below my video card, taking the air straight from the card and blowing it right out of the back of the case. Prevents the video card from overheating. No more throttling during gaming (read "other thoughts"! I've had it for a few months now. Still running strong and doing its job so far.

Cons: None to speak of. It's loud, sure, but that's to be expected with a fan this small that pushes as much air as it does.

Overall Review: Before I got this exhaust fan, my video card would throttle its own clock speed down to avoid overheating. Games would start to stutter after a few minutes of intensive gameplay as a result. The heat from the video card would affect the CPU, too, and my machine would occasionally shut down in order to avoid damage. A new CPU cooler fixed the CPU issue, but the video card still ran too hot - it's an ASUS DCii series - they get HOT! Anyways - with this fan installed underneath the video card, it directly takes and exhausts all the hot air the card would normally spew out into the case. Makes a huge difference. It's a bit loud, but worth every decibel. This thing was a gamble (an admittedly cheap one) for me since I've never heard of the brand before, and it was a last ditch effort to solve my temperature issue without having to get a new videocard. Turned out to be a great purchase.

Pros: In theory, this could have been a decent board if it worked and so many people didn't have issues with it.

Cons: High failure rate for this board (just read all the negative reviews), flimsy/cheap RAM/PCI/PCIe/USB headers. Common loose northbridge heatsink problem (mine was almost falling off and got hot enough to cause skin burns.

Overall Review: Arrived on schedule, looked good. Powers on but doesn't POST or send any video. I tried multiple PCIe and PCI video cards and every troubleshooting step in the book. Nothing would work. Tried reseting CMOS, auto updating the BIOS through USB directkey, swapping out components, running with bare essentials, etc. Board powers on - fans run, headers and I/O connections seem to function, etc - but no post and no video signal. I should have heeded the warnings and skipped this motherboard. This motherboard is well documented online with nothing but problems, defects, cheap build quality and other issues. Stay away from this. I'm sure it works ok IF you happen to get a working one, but it's best to avoid a product with such a high failure/DOA rate.

Pros: Excellent case! The case is spacious in essentially every regard. There's plenty of room for large CPU heatsink/fan configurations. There are a bunch of 3.5" internal drive bays (I use 6 mechanical hard drives+1 solid state drive and there are tons of bays and space left for more). I'm happy to say that the case can accommodate the largest video cards, no problem. I have an ASUS Radeon HD6970 with the DCii cooling system - if you don't know, that line of card features a ridiculously large heatsink/fan setup which takes up THREE slots and has a length longer than the lines at retailers on Black Friday. It fits in this case just fine :) Also, there is a very generous amount of space behind the motherboard tray to route ALL your cables through. Without any real organization, I was able to lazily route ALL the cables in my system through the side of the case and could close the side panel with ease. That's ALL the cables. SATA power cables, molex power cables, PCIe power cables, CPU power cables, ATX power cables, front panel power, reset, LED, USB, audio header cables, SATA data cables for my drives, fan controller cables, fan cables - everything - with tons of room to spare. Everything seems mostly high quality. Not top-of-the-line perfect, but great. Painted inside and out, strong material and construction, solid feeling buttons, slot covers, front panel audio and USB connectors...magnetic door and top fan/hot swap bay covers, nice weight, sturdy base with strong rubberized feet. Front (top) panel audio jacks are solid and - thankfully - don't suffer any unwanted noise or distortion, unlike any other cases I've had before. I love this case. It's exactly what I've been looking for and does the job perfectly while featuring tons of future upgrade potential.

Cons: None to speak of. I purchased this with prior research and knew what I was going to get for my money. Could the case be made with a side window option? Sure. Could the front panel door have been offered in a white variation instead of brushed aluminum print? Sure. But there's no sense in trying to nitpick and subtract an egg for inherent features of a product that I knew about all along. No cons to speak of.

Overall Review: While this is a "silent" case, it still features a decent amount of spots to mount fans - one 140mm on the top, one 120mm on the rear, one 120mm on the bottom (plus one where the power supply goes), and two 120mm on the front. The included fans (two front, one rear) are fairly standard. They don't move a whole lot of air, but fall under the "this will do for now" category. The air flow/noise level ratio is acceptable. In addition to the included front/rear fans I have a top mounted 140mm exhaust fan top help with cooling - again, pretty standard, but it keeps temperatures at an acceptable level - and I overclock. My AMD FX-8150 runs at a modest 4.1GHz and my video card is a major heat source, and my relatively high number of hard drives creates a lot of heat as well. While I am going to grab some high powered, high CFM fans to replace the stock ones, the stock setup gets the job done just fine - and stays nice and quiet while doing so. Speaking of "quiet" - obviously there's no such thing as a completely 100% quiet case - Not unless you want SOME type of airflow. While you can easily hear fan noise from the case, the side and front panel noise insulation padding does help in keeping the volume down a bit. I didn't get this case for the "silent" aspect, though. I'm used to struggling with the jet-taking-off-from-an-aircraft-carrier-during-a-huge-thunderstorm level of noise that my previous cases would need to make in order to keep things cool. So the fact that this case is nowhere near that noisy and yet still keeps temperatures down is a HUGE bonus. *Worth noting that the case I received must be a slightly updated version of what's listed here - it's listed as having a USB 3.0 front panel port that uses a passthrough cable to connect to a rear USB 3.0 port on the motherboard. My case did not have the passthrough cable for the front USB 3.0 port, but instead uses the 20 pin cable to connect directly to the 20 pin header on the motherboard - which was a pleasant surprise.

Pros: The unit you will receive is actually a nicer, sleeker, updated version. Looks much better and high quality. Works great with a program (free) called Veedub. With that you can use this card to record video/audio streams and to simply watch or monitor them. I basically use this card and Veedub to play my Super Nintendo with because I don't have a TV with composite or S-video inputs.This thing works perfectly as a replacement for your old TV. Plug your composite/S-video device (VCR, dvd player, camera, game console) in and use your computer to view and play. Zero lag with decent hardware. 1:1 ratio of button press to on-screen action when gaming. Just like playing SNES on a regular TV. -Updated model of the pictured card is what you get -Card works perfect with zero lag using the right software -Perfect for capturing video/audio -Perfect for monitoring video/audio -Can be used as a composite and S-video input source to play older game consoles with, or to use an old VCR on or DVD player on.

Cons: The remote seemed to work for a short while only with the included software - which didn't really work, either. Software wouldn't detect any video - ever. I'd get some kind of error saying the software couldn't initialize the device. So after some searching, I found the open source program Veedub seemed to work. It works great - however the remote doesn't seem to work with Veedub or any other software. The remote is pretty useless anyways since you can control the card functions with software. -Included software is useless -Remote is useless without included software...which, like I said, is useless

Overall Review: For the price, don't hesitate to buy this thing. Remote and software issues are easily remedied by downloading and using Veedub or other similar open source software

Pros: As a 64Gb SSD, it serves its purpose well. This is something you obviously don't buy for its storage capacity - but rather for its speed. If you want both, then you will need to look elsewhere and plan on spending a whole lot more. I use this drive as my Windows 7 install/boot drive (over a SATAIII 6.0gbps connection) and I put all of my most-used programs on it as well (Photoshop, Premiere, Acrobat, OpenOffice, Filezilla, etc). Programs open nice and snappy, and the OS boots in just seconds. I keep my other stuff (documents, media, games) on separate hard drives with larger capacities meant for storage rather than crazy speeds. The drive itself is very lightweight and small. -Good price -Great performance (fast boot+program launch speeds) -Makes use of SATAIII connection and data transfer speeds -Will work over SATAII just fine -Lightweight, can probably survive a fall from tall height -64Gb, makes great OS boot+main programs drive

Cons: No cons to speak of, really. People who complain of storage space limits should NOT have bought a 64Gb SSD. You can't dock an egg for something that is an inherent feature of a product.

Overall Review: Again - at this price, you're looking for speed and a simple boot drive...not for something to be able to fit your life's work into. It's good for an OS drive, as a drive to put a few games on, or as a cache drive.Build doesn't seem cheap or anything - just scarily lightweight and made of plastic. That's a good thing if you drop it, even from a tall height or something - because the unit would probably suffer absolutely no damage whatsoever. If you do an OS install and then decide to do ANOTHER, fresh install in the future (or if drive performance decreases), be sure to use Secure Erase function using Parted Magic live disc or something similar beforehand. Secure Erase is a built in command that this drive supports that has the same effect as doing a full reformat on a mechanical hard drive. Works well. If you want to conserve space on this drive while using it as an OS/boot drive, then there are a couple options. Just Google "how to delete hiberfil.sys" and follow the instructions. That'll disable hibernation and delete the hibernation file, freeing a good few gigabytes of space. Also, switch your virtual memory drive to a different hard drive and delete the page file from the SSD. That'll save an amount of space equivalent to the amount of RAM you have in your system.

Pros: Huge heatsink and two fans keep the card extra cool. I run the card at 945MHz with no problems, and I have the voltage up to 1.2mV. I play games at 1920x1080 and I've been able to max out every game I've thrown at it with DX11, 4xAA (Batman: AC, Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Crysis 2 with MaLDoHD). The most intensive game - Batman: AC - runs no lower than 45fps! Tons of video outputs through DVI and displayport, eyefinity support is great.

Cons: I can't take an egg off for this, but the video card is just HUGE! Obviously you should research first before you purchase something, and if you know your case can handle the card, then you're good to go!
