Can I just say beauty at its finest? By far one of the best cosmetic mods I could have bought. The lights simply make me go in awe every ttime I look at them. Not only that, but it powers everything perfectly. It's gorgeous and does the job perfectly. I will definitely invest in more rosewill products in the future (already have for a few friend's builds).
As far as lights go, thus thing is flashy. And I like flashy. It has 8 ports for cable hook ups. And I bet active who buys this wants to just see the colors, like me... Well... I'm sure no one will use all 40 hook ups.. yes, I think there's about that many (it sure seemed it when I was hooking everything up in mine) but I only needed 3 cables... A little disappointed I was because that meant only three of the four bluelighted ports would come on. Being curious I hooked all 8 cables into their ports and viola, they lit up. So if you're wondering if you need the cables connected to enjoy the light show, that is a big NO. if you hhave the room (so glad I did) hook them up, hook them all up. also, as everyone knows, blue LEDs are uusually a pain and bright as hell, well luckily, there's a switch right above the power cord on the back. And you have the alternative choice to turn the light off... Or even better... Alternate between having a BLUE or RED, fan.
There are three downsides to the product. And it's not even the manufacturers fault.
-One: this is a beautiful cosmetic addition. I have a bottom power source install case, meaning the power source is on the bottom. Installing this product at the bottom means the power connectors will block all your flashy lighted ports. Still visible of course, but there is still an inch wide cable blocking your lights. Cosmetically smarter choice for top docking power sources.
-two: I'm sure it is because the product is new and well built. But all of the power connectors are stiff. Like, really stiff. But in all of my electronic experiences, the stiff well-built products always last so well and through much more beating ccompared to flimsy loose cables.
-Three: there's no stickers. How do I suppose solicitor Rosewill products with no stickers for the front of my machine. Come on rosewill....
