Pros: Cooler Master has done it again! I upgraded from a CM 690 which was also a great case! This case has it all! Plenty of room, good cable management, impressive styling and sturdy design . Front grill comes off fairly easy as compared to other cases. There is built in dust screens for the power supply and front intake 140mm Fan. Accommadates 120mm fans also! Large CPU access hole on the right side for CPU Fans with back plate. No need to install before MB! Nice feature!

Cons: Being a bit picky here! If you are going to setup RAID for your SSD there is only 1 1.8/2.5 SSD bracket included. Would have been nice to have 2! Also they only included 4 screws for expansion cards. I have yet to have a toolless/screwless expansion card bracket that held the cards in securely, especially the larger Video card like the nVidia GTX 285.

Overall Review: Paid $129.00 for mine! Price has already fallen to $109.99. My Build: Intel Core i7 940, 6GB Corsair Dominator-GT 1866 Memory EVGA GTX 285, Gigabyte GA X-58 UD4P Thermaltake Toughpower 850w PSU, CoolIt Systems Domino Liquid CPU Cooling

Pros: Replaced 2 300GB WD VelociRaptors (RAID 0) with 2 OCZ Vertex Turbos, (RAID 0). Super FAST! Quick OS Booting! under 20 Seconds! Random Read and Write times are EXCELLENT! Trim support with the Garbage Collection built in to 1.5 Firmware!

Cons: Firmware updates can be tricky! Trouble shooting and Tech Support is pretty much limited to the OCZ forum. Limited support available over the phone. RMA process is cumbersome!!!! and takes a couple of weeks before you can get a replacement

Overall Review: I waited for the 1.5 firmware update before I purchased these drives. Firmware update with the OCZ SSD update Utility would not work with my Gigabyte X-58-UD7 MB or my Alienware M15X nvidia based MB. I think I read somewhere there was an issue with the utility and nVidia based systems. Finally got it to work on an older system I had. After about 2 months one of the SSD's failed. RMA'd and got a replacement. It already had the 1.5 firmware update. Problem with that one was it didn't work right out of the box! RMA's it and received a new SSD. It had the 1.0 firmware, so it had to be flashed with the OCZ utility. Utility reported it had flashed successfully! But when I went to configure the drive to a RAID 0, the intel RAID utility reported it as LOCKED. Now it has to be RMA'd. This whole process has been frustrating!! I like OCZ products but may stick with Intel SSD's in the Future. I have a Intel 160gb SSD installed in my Alienware M15x and have had zero problems.

Pros: What's not to like! 3 Way SLI, RAID options for each of the 3 controllers, Killer E2100 NIC, USB 3.0, and Sound Blaster X-Fi on board. - Documentation is the best I have ever seen! Easy to read and understand. This is my 3rd Gigabyte MB and by far the best quailty MB I have purchased. This MB is a replacment for my aging ASUS Rampage III formula. I only wish this board had been available at that time I go the ASUS. The ASUS Rampage III was $299 and I got the G1.Killer for $369... It's well worth it when you factor in the Sound Blaster X-Fi and BigFoot Killer E2100. Setup was a snap and board booted up on the first try! LED's on the Northbridge Heatsink are pretty Cool also! This MB also has low operating temps!!! A+++!

Cons: The Marvell 88SE9182 SATA 6.0 Controller is Anemic at best in RAID 0 performance. Although, an improvement over the previous controller, it still can't touch the Intel SATA II controller in RAID 0. vAdditionally, setting up the RAID 0 of the Marvell is a nightmare!! Once I did get the RAID up and running, I benchmarked my Corsair Force 3 120GB SSd's RAID 0. I used ATTO and CrystalDiskMark. Although this is a 6GB Controller, the scores weren't never close to SATA 2 scores.... Sequential Read and Write were less than half of the Intel controller. So I dumped the Marvell RAID 0 in favor of the Intel RAID 0 and got a big performance boost!!! I would only used the Marvell 6GB Controller in AHCI mode. Forget RAID 0!

Overall Review: Gigabyte did miss the mark in one area with this MB. The length of the Front panel USB 3.0 connector cable. I was able to get it connected in my Corsair 600T by about 1/4 of an inch. Luckily my EVGA GTX 460's are short enough the cable is able to pass behind the cards instead of over them. It's the only reason I was able to connect it! Otherwise this is a great board and can highy recommend it!!

Pros: Replaced Two ATI Radeon HD 4850's in CrossFire with this Card. This card is much quieter and runs cooler! Had to Manually increase fan speed of the 4850's to between 55-60% just to lower idle temps to around 53 degreees C. Also added to noise level. The nVidia GTX 285 factory fan speed is 40%. In the Auto mode I get 41 degrees C at idle and under a load 62 degrees C. Much better operating temps and noise level than the 4850's in crossfire or the 4870 or 4890 for that matter!

Cons: Absolutely None! This my first EVGA. Very quailty card!! A+++!

Overall Review: Just make sure your case is large enought and has good ventilation! I have the CoolerMaster CM690 and I am using 5 case fans!
