Pros: This board is very ruggedly built with quality components. Very nicely laid out, and let's be honest: it looks awesome. Running strong after a year and being moved to a different case! Price seems a little high, but you definitely get what you pay for.

Cons: Doesn't have PCI-Express 3.0 at this time, but then, no AMD ATX boards have it, so I will not criticize this particular board.

Overall Review: I bought this as a package deal from a different online vendor last year for my very first build. It's running an AMD FX-8320, a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler, and, for the time being, two Zotac GTX-560 Multiview cards SLI'd together. Quite frankly, I couldn't have made a better choice for my very first motherboard. When the Gen-3 Sabertooth with PCI-Express 3.0 comes out, you can count on me upgrading. I am an ASUS fan for life.

Pros: Looks the part of a HTPC. Doesn't clash with the decor.

Cons: This case is of very poor build quality, and had to replace the power supply to allow for an NVidia GTX-560. Fans are loud. Worst of all, you better be sure of where you want to put your expansion cards.

Pros: - Fast, even at stock speeds. I've never once had this choke on me. - Because I don't overclock, I've never had this CPU go much higher than 40 C under load. Then again, I'm using a Hyper 212 fan/heatsink. - Very good price:performance ratio.

Cons: - Very power hungry in comparison to similarly spec'd Intel CPUs. - Pathetic stock fan/heatsink. I didn't even bother using it. May as well just chuck it once the package is opened. - Doesn't make me breakfast.

Overall Review: I've been using it in conjunction with two Zotac GTX-560 graphics cards running in SLI. Almost everything I've played was in High settings, with a few in Ultra (!!). Had no noticeable problems with framerates or graphic hiccups, and the only time heat was a problem was with my graphics cards while running TERA Online. I plan to upgrade my graphics card as soon as I can afford it, though.

Pros: The photos do little justice for how cool this case looks. I was also pleasantly surprised at how sturdy this case is. The cable management is an absolute dream. Also has a fan controller - can't say I noticed that much of a difference, though. Your mileage may vary, of course. Also, while it's a slightly snug fit, it will fit longer graphics cards without having to remove the hard drive cage. HUGE plus there!

Cons: The only real cons I could find were in the realm of quality control, and none of them were at all earth-shattering. One of the fans didn't light up, but it still spun which I suppose is the more important part. Also, one of the standoffs was stripped. They do furnish you with a lot of extra screws and standoffs, though. Finally, the expansion slot covers, once removed, cannot be put back on.

Overall Review: I was reluctant to purchase another Apevia case after having been thoroughly unimpressed with the X-Master HTPC case, but this was for a co-worker who wanted something to play Starcraft II on and the X-Cruiser3 with the blue LEDs made me think of the Protoss. Thankfully, this case turned out to be better than I expected. A few caveats and oddities worth mentioning: -The huge 200 mm fan on the side WILL be impeded by a large heatsink. Thankfully, I had a spare 120 mm blue LED fan laying around, and the side panel had screw-holes for both 120 mm and 140 mm fans. Props to Apevia for this one! -Speaking of the fans, they only have Molex connectors. Make sure you get a PSU that has plenty of Molex plugs if you're considering this case. -There are a few too many standoff-markers for ATX motherboards. Kinda weird, but nothing to worry about. Overall, this is a very good case. Definitely recommended for gamers on a budget.

Pros: It circulates air and glows red! Price was good.

Cons: Ummmm..... does a very bad job at washing my car....?

Overall Review: I've had it for a number of months and it hasn't failed on me. Bottom line: it's a fan. It's made to circulate air. It did what it said on the box, so I'm happy.

Pros: I will get the obvious out of the way first: this case is absurdly cool-looking. I love the ominous red glow it gives off, and how clean the lines on the front are. This is also a fairly large case for a mid-tower, so it's fairly roomy. The tool-less installation is a nice touch, as well. The frame feels nice and sturdy. Cable management behind the motherboard is snug, but workable. It's not overly silent, but what ambient sound the fans do make is barely audible.

Cons: The tabs holding the plexiglass on the side came broken. I'm not sure if this happened during shipping. Granted, I did get it refurbished, so I'm not going to complain TOO loudly over it, especially since it isn't noticeable from the outside. Not worth docking a full egg over. It is also not worth docking a full egg for the fact that the fan's LEDs aren't nearly as bright as the picture depicts. However, the cables that power the temperature gauges seemed to be tucked out of sight, and there was no indication in the instructions that they even existed. I didn't find them until a week ago, and I bought this seven months ago. These things combined take the egg off.

Overall Review: I show this build at every opportunity because I am so proud of it. I built a real monster, and this case exemplifies just how much of a beast it really is. Just be aware if you're buying it refurbished that you may need to do some gluing. If you want a PC that doubles as a work of art, look no further. NZXT has your back.
