Pros: All black if that's your color scheme (fan, wires, connectors, even screws). 4-pin Molex male and female connector. Very quiet. It the first PC I have built that I don't know is running by hearing the fan noise. Price.

Cons: Not the highest airflow but very good compromise to get a quiet fan.

Overall Review: Put 2 of these in a mini-ITX case where the Intel ICH10 (southbridge) was cooking at a staggering 98ºC. This chip is rated at a maximum of 105ºC. With the fans, the temperature dropped to 77ºC.

Pros: Sharp picture, clean screen surface, looks like new unless you get out the magnifying glass. No dead pixels.

Cons: Not a big deal but was not boxed in original packaging. Monitor was sufficiently bubble wrapped to prevent damage. Minor scratches on 2 corners.

Overall Review: Used for playing retro (MAME) games. It does support low-res 4:3 aspect ratios as well as it's native 5:4 ratio. The pivot feature is essential for retro games. The screen is easily turned 90-degrees for vertically oriented games. The 3 other adjustments (height, tilt, and swivel) are also handy.

Pros: Well-designed inside and out. Elegant front mesh panel. Lots of no-frills drive bays, the 3.5-inch all have optional fans that can be put in front. Lots of hardware, including a big bag of thumb screws for the hard drives, much more sensible than those quick-release gimmicks. Very heavyweight metal. I thought a power supply was included just by its weight.

Cons: Some will say the more ventilation, the better. I personally don't like top panel vents. Since the PC is off more than it is on, the top vent just serves as a passive dust collector. I removed the top fan and covered the vent.

Overall Review: Put 2 blue fans in the front fan mounts (thumb screws here too) and you will have the Antec 300 "Illusion" model and it just looks good, matching the blue power and hard drive LEDs. Two included fans (top and rear) have speed control switches.

Pros: Super bright long-lasting LED light.

Cons: Careful screwing the battery cap back on. Like the Maglite, the threads can strip easily.

Overall Review: You screw a light bulb in the same way no matter the brand of bulb. You drive a car the same no matter the model. You put the batteries in a flashlight the same no matter the brand. What planet is everyone here from? For those from another planet, an explicit diagram is located inside the battery tube, no reading necessary, jusy look at the picture. And the power switch is a little bigger than the Maglite but not an issue.

Pros: All front panel access is covered by doors (floppy bay, CD bay, and USB/audio jacks). Heavy gauge steel. Power supply included.

Cons: Hard drive is best mounted in the floppy bay. If not, there are 2 plastic brackets that can hold the drive in 2 locations. These brackets only hold the drive on one side. This is probably OK for the location which rests the drive on the case bottom. The other location suspends the drive vertically from a support rail by 2 screws which doesn't seem like a good idea. Other than that, a tight fit should be expected from a box of this size. A low profile CPU heatsink/fan is required since the power supply covers most of the ITX board. Low profile RAM is also recommended. The biggest problem is no provision for active cooling. The components were burning up when first powered on. By design or not, 2 80mm fans can be mounted on one or both sides where there are passive airflow holes. A reamer was needed to increase the hole size to accommodate the fan screws.

Overall Review: A mini-ITX can be a challenge to build no matter what model case. But I am satisfied with the final result.
