Thermaltake Armor Series VA8000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Thermaltake Armor Series VA8000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Very roomy, has lots of space to add all your goodies and then some. Built VERY sturdy. Has a good assortment of fans in all the right places. Very happy with this case.

Cons: As stated before it is heavy. I didnt like the IEEE 1394 cable coming from the top of the case, it is all seperate pins, took a long time to get them all in. Also the HD cage on the top back can sometimes stick, takes some effort. I alos had to Cut some plastic off of the Tool-less PCI holders, my 7900GTX takes 2 slots and it wouldnt go in without me cutting a little plastic tab off, not hard to do.

Overall Review: Overall I love this case. It displays everything very nice and it is built like a tank. Take you time and go slow and follow the directions in assembly, they stage them for a reason, dont jump ahead.

Most Critical Review

BEWARE, VERY BAD MONITORS

Acer G245HBbd Black 24" 5ms Full HD WideScreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ACM 80,000:1 (1,000:1)
Acer G245HBbd Black 24" 5ms Full HD WideScreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ACM 80,000:1 (1,000:1)

Pros: Pros: It did turn on out of the box

Cons: Cons: we have purchased around 15 of the Acer 24" G245H monitors in a large bulk order a few months ago. Over 60% of them have gone bad within the first 2 months. Yellowing in the lower right hand corner.

Overall Review: Other Thoughts: This cost our company Thousands, it also took over 3 weeks to get the units repaired and sent back, Oh, and WE have to pay shipping back to them for repair. No, we did not buy these on Newegg but I am a big newegg customer and wanted to make people aware of these

Pros: These units work great as boot loaders and so far all is working very well

Cons: not local, comes from Asia so slight delay in shipping

STAY AWAY FROM ACER

Pros: It did turn on out of the box

Cons: we have purchased around 40 of the Acer 24" monitors in a large bulk order a few months ago. Over 50% of them have gone bad within the first 2 months. Yellowing in the lower right hand corner.

Good overclocker

EVGA 015-P3-1482-AR GeForce GTX 480 (Fermi) SuperClocked 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: Great DX11 graphics, overclocking with Precision is a snap. Best warranty in the business in case anything should go wrong. Gaming graphics are much clearer, FPS are flying by!

Cons: Fan noise is a little on the loud side but not as bad as some have stated. These cards do heat up but with general gaming even with a high overclock it is not to bad.

Overall Review: I have my 480SC set on everyday settings of 825/1050. I was able to overclock it stable at 850/1100. Ran some Heaven 2.0 benches and the results were very good. Fan speed was set at 85% and card temp never went over 86c.

Great Board, missing a few things

Pros: Great overclockability, decent layout. Tons of extras.

Cons: For a $300 board you would think you would get some digital audio. There are no optical or coax digital sound on this board. For this reason I gave it minus one egg.

Overall Review: I have yet to tap into this boards power, I am sure it will be well worth the extra money I spent on it.
