Pros: Very fast and good quality RAM

Cons: Just built this system and it was very unstable - multiple lock ups a day. After further investigation the voltage in the BIOS needed adjusted. Most if not all will set the 'auto' voltage too low (1.5v) where these sticks need 1.65v to operate without any problems.

Overall Review: Most users would not know to do this - I've built systems for years and never had to change the voltage. My system is rock solid now so hopefully this will help others..:

Pros: Good price at the time

Cons: I've gotten about 2 years out of this drive but now I'm getting S.M.A.R.T warnings that this drive is failing. 2 years is completely unacceptable! I work IT for a large business and we've had a ton of Seagate Barracuda's fail in the past 2 years. Time to go HD shopping again and it wont be a seagate for sure.

Pros: Solid and inexpensive case which is perfect for a PC build. I didn't want or need anything 'flashy' - just a basic case. Includes all the hardware that you'll need. Plenty of ventilation and space for additional fans too.

Cons: None
