Cable management

C2G/Cables To Go 29858 6in Hook and Loop Cable Management Wraps Multipack (12 pack) - Black

Pros: Well, they work exactly as velcro should, and they help keep my "rats nest" of wiring fairly organized.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I realized when I started grouping some wires together that maybe I should have just gone with a shorter length....6 inches is quite long if you're only wrapping a few wires with it. So make sure you actually need these to be that long before purchasing.

Sturdy cable

Pros: Bought this to have a cleaner look in front of my motherboard, and this accomplished that task rather well. The clips are pretty sturdy, so you don't have to worry about the cables accidentally disconnecting themselves or falling out of their connectors. Clean sleeving. Nice dark-ish red color goes well with the Gaming series MSI boards.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Can be a little stiff feeling, but will still make sharp bends if needed to

Nice Case

Pros: Nice and roomy case, the stock fans are fairly quiet, the cable routing cutouts are pretty well-placed, plenty of room behind the motherboard tray for hiding cables - the fat 20+4 pin motherboard cable fits right into the groove on the bottom.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Anyone that's wondering: a Corsair H100i rad will mount on the top with quite a bit of room to spare....

Great RAM

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C9D-8GXL
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C9D-8GXL

Pros: Defaulted to 1600mhz on my MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming motherboard, a couple clicks in the UEFI got this running on the 2133mhz XMP profile.

Cons: Doesn't seem to want to OC to 3000mhz yet.... :)

Overall Review: After messing around with some of my settings, I got this RAM to run stable at 2400mhz with 11-12-12-35 timings....

Nice cables

Silverstone PP07-EPS8R Sleeved Extension Power Supply Cable, 1 x 8pin to EPS12V 8pin(4+4) Connector

Pros: These extensions are sturdy, look very nice, and allowed me to route my 8-pin motherboard cable easier....Awesome extensions

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: The extension does feel a bit stiff, so if you're trying to route it around a sharp bend, it will take a little bit of playing with it to get the cable to do what you want. Since this has a sturdy connector, that doesn't end up being an issue.

Great Fans!

Pros: These fans come with everything you need to install them - regardless of the setup. They move plenty of air, and work very nicely as a 2nd fan for the Hyper 212 Evo. I'm also running 3 more of these as case fans, and plan on getting more. Plus, they look nice!

Cons: The only downside I have seen for these is those odd rubber "screws". Personally, I don't see the point of them since I can properly tighten a screw without cross-threading it - which results in my fans not being able to vibrate.
