Pros: Compatible with all modern AMD sockets. I have these cooling dual AMD Opteron 270s on a Tyan K8WE Thunder board. The processors are running cool.

Cons: None - they do their job and well.

Overall Review: Noise is not an issue with me.

Pros: Cheap 160Gb HD, SATA II 3.0Gb/sec interface.

Cons: Put this in a small mATX rig for my brother, after 2 months his computer began BSODing on him and applications would close themselves. I tracked this down to the HD, after trying to reinstall the OS, and I got multiple corruption and read errors. Ran a verbose checkdisk utility and there were hundreds of bad sectors.

Overall Review: First time I have ever had a WD HD go bad on me, I have owned several of their products and I am disappointed. Now I have to move a spare drive from my computer into his rig in order to get his machine working again.

Pros: Great case, excellent design and manufacturing quality.

Cons: The screws on this case are abysmal. I had to use WD40 and a screwdriver to get the outside thumbscrews off. Then when I went to install the PSU, I went to remove the HD cages, and the screws on them are all stripped! I currently have them soaking in WD40, and I hope I can get them out with a screwdriver + rubber band.

Overall Review: The amount of frustration I have had trying to get this case working has been ludicrous. I own an Arc Midi from Fractal and that case was an absolute dream. Lets hope that Fractal figures out who is over-torquing these screws and fires them.

Pros: First one lasted around 2.5 years, had it replaced under warranty due to capacitor aging. I was running dual quad-core Opteron 8347s with dual 8800GTs in SLI at the time. The second one lasted over 4 years and has been faithfully powering my computer w/o any issues.

Cons: None, I paid $269.99 for this PSU back in late 2007 would do so again.

Overall Review: The reason I am posting this review as I am going to be buying another of these as this morning there was a loud bang in my bedroom, so loud my ears were ringing. I then realized with apprehension that there was an acrid burning smell coming from the vicinity of my desk. I stumbled out of bed and walked over and my computer (which I left on), was now off, and was the source of the smell. I checked the surge protector and sure enough the protect light was red. So, after inspecting the motherboard and GPU for several minutes, I notice the status light on the PSU is still on. After a few minutes of consideration, I tried turning the machine on and to my delight and utter surprise the machine booted, and all of my components are good. All in all I think my faithful old Silverstone Strider 850w PSU saved my rig from a power surge. Trust me I'll be replacing it with another Silverstone PSU.

Pros: The drive has a really nice casing, the brushed aluminum feels good and has held up well to the abuse I put it through. Having one side of the drive curved allows me to plug it in without fumbling too. Read/write speeds are good and the capacity is spot on. I used this to replace a 100Gb external drive I was using for work.

Cons: The cap - The only con I can find, and undoubtedly the most annoying one, I'm not sure what the hell Adata was thinking, making a solid brushed aluminum thumb drive and giving it the flimsiest cap I have ever seen. I can just give it the lightest tap and the cap pops off, it won't stay on when it is in my pocket and it's useless. I have to use scotch tape to secure the cap to the drive. This is why I took two eggs off on this review.

Overall Review: If you don't care about or need the cap to work this is the drive for you, otherwise I would look for a manufacturer that makes the caps on their thumb drives out of the same material as the body of the drive, or at least designs it so that the cap doesn't fall off at the slightest touch/movement.

Pros: Heavy duty construction, easily removable front bezel and 3.5" drive bays, 5.5" bays have rails. Spacious case, room for E-ATX.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I had this case for over 3 years. I purchased it in college for a dual socket 940 system and ended up replacing it with a Coolermaster Stacker. Used it for a server for another 2 years. Sold it to a co-worker and he loves it.
