Pros: Lots of space, best price per GB on a new drive thus far, 5 year manufacturer warranty. It's a winner in my book.

Cons: It takes a while to format, especially locked at 1.5Gbps, though looking at that as an indication of size it's really more of a pro.

Overall Review: I noticed most of the reviews for the other 3Gbps drives complain about having to remove the jumper to take it out of the 1.5Gbps mode. This drive however does not come with one so if you have a legacy SATA controller you will need to find a jumper and place it across the two pins furthest from the power and data connections. There may also be some compatibility issues but I can't pin that on the drive. The VIA VT8237 controller on my motherboard won't recognize the drive but fortunately the Promise 387 does.

Pros: It's a full-tower aluminum case. The dust filters can work and are easy enough to access. The door alignment is easy, esp. for a full tower. The wire clips on the bottom are useful. Hard drive bays are well designed, easy and do reduce the noise. Comes with extra parts and a case for them

Cons: Not enough airflow for a full tower. If you actually fill it with drives there won't be much in the way of cold air coming to your GPU, and even less to the chipset/CPU if the graphics heatsink isn't the exhaust type. I'm still using the case for all its features but I typically leave the side off. Removing or replacing the 5.25 shields helps some but doesn't prevent pockets of hot air around the GPU.

Overall Review: Lian-li does produce replacement case tops and doors with much-needed vents but that's an additional expense. I should note that this is a review of the old USB 2 version of the case, so I can't comment on the ports, but it is otherwise identical.

Pros: It's a slot fan that TAKES IN AIR. There are only two commercially available, but the other is made by Lian Li and more than twice as expensive. Get one of these while you can. The build quality is fair. It's all plastic but the changeable pieces interlock well and feel sturdy. The fan has a 3-pin connector. You have to notch the plastic to run it out but this is good if you want your system to see that the fan is working.

Cons: The speed switch that comes with it doesn't have a discernible effect.

Overall Review: The blue glow is a bit obnoxious but the led wires can easily be snipped. Lastly others have complained about the amount of air this moves or the fact that it takes up two slots. Because this is an intake it can't use a squirrel-cage fan like a typical blower, which means there's no way around these issues short of having an external blower.

Pros: Metal backplate, plastic ring, screws, everything you should expect. The backplate has adhesive feet which are helpful if you want to attach the heatsink to the ring first and then screw down the assembly. And yes, it fits 1366 motherboards.

Cons: Fair warning to anyone using the adhesive, it is neigh impossible to remove. When I was trading this out for a new mount it took a set of small screwdrivers, some strong solvents, and a lot of time to remove the backplate. I'm actually surprised my motherboard survived the prying I had to do against the PCB. If at all possible remove the adhesive feet from the backplate.

Overall Review: I'll list this here since I'm not sure if this is the fault of the heatsink of this mount. When I attached the HS unmodified with this bracket it exerted far too much pressure. I had to bend down the metal on the HS and leave the screws out partially before I could get it right. (used some thread-locking adhesive to keep them in place) It served me well for years, but in hindsight I'm not sure it was worth the trouble.

Pros: I've had this card for well over 2 years now and dollar for dollar this is the best piece of hardware I've ever purchased. Halfway through owning it I upgraded to a 30" screen and it still handles everything fairly well at 2560x1600. (just enough memory) It runs a little hot and the fan is audible at full speed but it's been rock-solid. Point is that I wouldn't have an issue buying one of these used, and given it's age you can find them for cheap.

Cons: Like most other cards the heatsink on this isn't designed to be directional. This doesn't affect the card so much but in my case it creates a little swirl of hot air between it and the CPU fan.

Pros: - The audio quality is surprisingly good. The frequency response is decently flat and it has the range. I would say it's enough to justify higher-bitrate mp3s. - No active light, it's actually decent-looking - Standard microusb connector, 5 volt charge - Stiff cord prevents tangle while allowing storage in small places. This is close to the ideal form factor. - Bluetooth/A2DP is flawless (Motorola droid, also tested with windows stacks) It handles calls and voice prompts accordingly. - Battery life is good, at least two days of moderate use, haven't tested standby for longer though

Cons: - Loud indicator for every action including each volume change - Long press (2 seconds) needed to skip foreward/back. It will continue if held longer so you can still navigate back on devices that require a press before the 2 second mark, it will just take a while. - The connecting cord is stiff enough to dislodge/make uncomfortable the ear pieces when using certain head rests, or pillows (though overall it's still preferable) - As mentioned the audio is nice, but it varies greatly depending on how much of a seal these feel like providing at any given time. The fit is fairly loose, the adjustment doesn't achieve much, and I'm often holding the ends in my ears to experience some of my more subtle music. there is no sound isolation regardless so these are more suited to quiet environments. (they are loud at the highest volume which might be consolation for some)

Overall Review: - I've used these for 9 months now. The build quality leaves a little to be desired, but cheap plastic means light weight and the weakest part is easily fixed. Some time ago I broke one of the friction collars that holds the adjustment in place; had it in my pocket with some other stuff. A strip of any sort of tape around it restores this functionality. - There is a bass-boost feature and one that functions like a hearing aid for some reason. If you don't use these it's hard to remember how to enable/disable them when you do so accidentally. - Comfort is neutral. They aren't bad, you can wear them for a good number of hours, but you can't leave these on all day and forget about them. I treat them as a convenient (passive) headphone replacement so it works. Also, while I love these, I don't think they are quite worth the MSRP. Avoid doing so if possible.
