Pros: It's a nice looking case and the integrated fan control and temperature gauge is a plus. There's a fair amount of space inside and it holds up very well to beatings. Spacing between the cards and the drives is done right, although it might be tight at times. Mine has been on my floor for four years and thus far there are no real problems with it. Fans are set up to draw from front and exhaust out top, back, and sides and the vent is actually located in the right spot for most PCI fans.

Cons: No HD cooling fans. The holes and the vents are in the metal, but the plastic facade doesn't have any vents. I ended up buying a new fan and Dremeling some vents in after one of my HD's read 150*F. Things are much cooler now. The wiring for the front LED's is also a little cheap, they're beginning to go out on me after several years and there's no easy access to them. The USB ports are upside-down and too close together. There's no space behind the mobo panel to tuck wiring away.

Overall Review: It's a good case for little money with some pizazz. I think my next case is going to be a bit more expensive and this one is going to some other build, but it's served me well for some time.

Pros: Works well. Quiet. Fast and pretty cheap.

Cons: Did not like my rig. I was upgrading anyway and so I stuck it into the new one a few months later and it worked fine. I RMA'd the previous one, installed drivers, played with BIOS, flashed the firmware, everything, could not get it to go. Was running on an: ABIT AN8 with a AMD 3500+ Clawhammer. The ABIT AN8 apparently doesn't like the drive. Switched to an Intel Core 2 Duo on an ASUS P5K and all works splendidly. Tech support is very sketchy. You're pretty much on your own for anything beyond basic stuff like checking cables and jumpers.

Overall Review: It's a gamble. Do you think it's worth the money on a drive that might or might not work.

Pros: Well designed ergonomically if you use a large handgrip on your mouse. There's space to place your pinky and the mouse moves freely. Decent twist to the mouse and the main two buttons work well. Good laser accuracy and the lag is imperceptible.

Cons: The center button (aka: the wheel) takes a *hard* press to engage. Royally screws you if you're gaming, CAD'ing, or anything elsing that needs that button. Wheel physically catches (you can feel it getting stuck) and requires extra force at times, making scrolling jumpy. Aux buttons are poorly placed and waaaay too small (the Logitech MX500 series chassis is much better.) I think they were just put there for looks. CD with drivers etc... was bent, had to download from MS.

Overall Review: Track wheel doesn't "click" as you move it, not a huge deal to me, but it doesn't make sense to remove the click after all the other mice have it. The mouse is a classic Microsoft product. They saw good things (the side buttons, the ergonomic shape) from other makers and they copied it quickly, threw a few snazzy features on it, and marketed it as "top of the line" when it's an imitation. I'm returning mine and getting something else, likely to be a Logitech.

Pros: Fast to install. Large and pretty quiet following boot up. Cheap enough, and now closing on 1 TB of HD.

Cons: None so far. It hasn't failed yet and it's got a good speed to it.

Overall Review: Windows XP is a PITA to install a drive on. Remember: right-click My Computer, then select "Manage." Why MS put it there, the world will never know.

Pros: Cheap, no unneeded freeware jammed onto it, light, decently sturdy plastic. Cap secures well. Ring/lanyard mount is well constructed.

Cons: No lights on the thing after the USB port recognizes it. It's hard to tell when the thing is active. The cap is clear and very hard to see once you take it off.

Overall Review: For the price, not bad at all.

Pros: It's a case, decent CFPM from the fan. Looks alright.

Cons: The fab work on this thing sucks. The screw holes on the one I was shipped were consistently out of place and I ended up redoing some holes to fit things like the PSU into the box. The front of the case is curved at the top, but the manf. doesn't bother to curve the sheet metal to meet it, resulting in a nasty gap between the bezel plate and the top of the case. The drive covers aren't bad, but the buttons on them require a precise press to get anything like a DVD Drive to open. Oh, and they ship you blue LED's in a box marked "green" after you order the "green" one because it's "green."

Overall Review: For $xx w/o a PSU, I honestly expected a case that at least fit together without me getting sheet fab tools. It looks neat, but the build took me about two hours more than is should have because I had to fix their mounting screw holes all the time.
