Pros: Plug and play (no setup required), incredible speeds with USB 3.0 and SATA III, great industrial design

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: After dealing with some HDD issues, I bought the BlacX 5G to copy my existing hard drives to a new RAID array. The transfer rate topped 120 MB/sec. on an old, failing SATA II drive. So far, I've used it to copy around 2 TB of data without any problems. I can't comment on long-term use, but the data transfer has been flawless. On a related note, I think it is important to address some of the older negative reviews. Many of us were having problems with USB 3.0 drivers as recently as a few months ago. It's a shame that so many people dismissed the product without considering the wider implications of new technologies and new drivers. Now that USB 3.0 is stable, this product really shines. Some people had legitimate issues, but too many unfairly criticized Thermaltake for what was ultimately unstable drivers and hardware.

Pros: This product has a decent range, and is very easy to install; however, you will not get the full feature set out of the box.

Cons: After searching Google endlessly to no avail, I ended up having to spend an additional $30 dollars on a piece of software called Blue Soleil 6 in order to get my Bluetooth headset working properly. Don't get me wrong - BS6 is a great piece of software, but Zoom misleads you into thinking that everything will work OOTB, which I don't think is ethical.

Overall Review: OS: Windows 7 Home Premium x64

Pros: + Well-constructed & built with quality in mind + Beautiful. + CPU cooler can be replaced w/o taking motherboard out (hole in back) + Quiet fans with a lot of air flow and spots for two 120mm side-mount fans + Fantastic wire management... plenty of room inside for wires, cards, etc. Easy to hide most of it, and comes with ties to keep wires bundled and in place + Plenty of ports on top/front - (4) USB ports, (1) eSATA, (1) mic input, (1) headphones output + Power/reset buttons are well-placed, not easy to hit accidentally + Sturdy handle for easy movement + Switch for LED lights + No tools required to install DVD-ROM, floppy drive, hard drives, etc. Everything fit perfectly! + Front dust filters (this is why LEDs are dim) + StormGuard to protect peripherals + Bought for only $59.99 (down from over $100)

Cons: - All three fans on one fan controller - Directions are not clear (only pictures) - Hard to see red LEDs through the case, but this is the least of my concerns - Plastic pieces that hold in cards are easy to break if you don't know how to unlock them. I actually broke one off on a display model. *Read the directions!*

Overall Review: - Make sure hard drive connectors are facing the *right* side of the case, otherwise you'll be scratching your head wondering why they would sell a case you can only use L-shaped SATA/power connectors for. Put them in the right way, and you'll have PLENTY of room. - I installed a side-mount 120mm fan in addition to the three it comes with... hooked up to system fan controller, the other three fans are on the same controller. - Before I got this case, I had an entry-level Gigabyte case, and I could barely see the motherboard with all the wires.

Pros: - 1440x900 resolution - Different modes for different situations (theater, gaming, text, etc.) - Sturdy & looks great - DVI-D and VGA inputs (I'm using DVI-D, of course) - Excellent price

Cons: - No HDMI

Overall Review: I'm using this with a Diamond Radeon HD 4650 (1 GB GDDR2 version), and Windows 7. Everything looks stunning on this monitor. I would surely recommend it to family and friends in a heartbeat. I'm interested in seeing if it has the longevity of other monitors I've dealt with.

Pros: I am a software developer, and was working off of a 2.2 GHz single-core Athlon for years, until I decided to upgrade. I installed the Phenom II x2 550 in a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H motherboard, which is technically an AM2/AM2+ board. I didn't have to do a BIOS flash or anything like that. It worked right out of the box. I haven't overclocked it at this point, and honestly I don't see the need to just yet. I'm not much of a gamer, so I can't comment on its uses there, but for debugging, and running a high performance, resource-hogging IDE (Eclipse PDT), it works wonderfully. I am currently using this in conjunction with 2GB DDR2 1066MHz RAM, and I *love* it. I would recommend this to my family and friends in a heartbeat.

Cons: None so far!
