Most Favorable Review

Great price! Works fine!

Team 32GB microSDHC Flash Card Model TG032G0MC24A

Pros: Put it in my new phone, uploaded my music to it and it works just fine as one would hope. I paid $13.99 for mine. $14.99 today is a great deal too!

Cons: None.

Most Critical Review

RMA after Two Weeks

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4550 512MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Video Card GV-R455D3-512I

Pros: It set up and worked fine while it was working.

Cons: I came home this afternoon and no video. I tried reseating it, nothing. I tried another video card to isolate the problem. I then tried the video card in another computer and again, no video. Now I will start the RMA process. I figure I'll be using my rebate money for return shipping. :(

Overall Review: Hopefully not an engineering defect. I'm always reluctant to give any product a second chance. I'll most likely sell the replacement when I get it.

One of the Few Nice Micro ATX Cases

Corsair Obsidian Series 350D CC-9011028-WW Black Aluminum / Steel MicroATX Case

Pros: Finally a decent case for a MATX board! I chose this over the Silverstone Temjin TJ08B-E and Precision PS07B-W, but mostly because of the sale price. Those look like great cases too, so the decision was not easy for once! I love the cable management, the rounded edges, the looks and smart design. I'm using this build as a combination desktop/HTPC, so looks and functionality are equally important. Corsair really nailed it with this case!

Cons: I think the plastic removable dual SSD cage was made with too brittle a plastic. I broke one of the two cages when I tried to take it apart, but it is no real big deal as I was only going to use one SSD anyway. This SSD cage is different than the one shown in the video. I think I would have liked that one better.

Overall Review: I removed the plastic 5.25 drive bay clips, because I'd rather use screws for my VFD and Blu-Ray drives that I'm installing. Since the FVD is using the top drive bay, I believe I could actually fit a full size radiator if I really wanted to go that route.
