Great Case!!!!

Cooler Master NV 690 NV-690C-KWN2-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master NV 690 NV-690C-KWN2-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Fantastic case overall. Great cable management, excellent fan placement (the 2 top 120-140's keep everything nice and cool), nice overall look. Coolermaster really did their homework when it came to a great NVidia fanboy case. Design is 2nd only to its funcionality. I purchased 6 green LED 120mm fans for this case, and I must say it's beautiful. Still considering putting in a cct for extra glow. Power supply placement I thought would be nice, but it's wonderful. Pulls in lots of cool air from the underside. All intake fan placements have STOCK filters. That's right, not only does it cool, but it keeps it clean to boot. There are a few dozen extra case/hard drive and cdrom/floppy screws included, installed into the design for mere convenience. I needed them when it came to installing a floppy drive. I can't rave enough about this case. Roomy, well designed, functional, economical, and convenient. Everything a geek can hope for in a good gaming case.

Cons: Just one. Make sure you read your specs on the 80mm fan behind the motherboard. If you're planning on using it, a standard 80 is too tall. You'll need a half-height fan, which makes it almost impossible to find an LED one. Other than that, flawless.

Overall Review: I went from a near server tower setup to this mid, and I have to say, it's the best time and money I've spent on my system since I bought my first NVidia graphics card, and this being a fan case makes it sweeter. Coolermaster, my hat's off to you.

Great Product!

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-6400

Pros: Great RAM for the price. Bought a pair Feb of 08 for use in an Asus M2N-E mobo with an X2 4600+ and loved it. Stable, fast, reliable, and responsive. Bought a pair of Corsair from Tiger, and they were friggin huge, not like pictured, and didn't even work. As soon as I found out these were still available, snagged another pair and no problems at all with XPPro64 bit, and even runs Win7Pro64 smooth as silk. Great low-profile memory and stays cool to boot.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Keep these around, and I'll probably purchase more.

Nice..Responsive

Pros: Great response times. Benchmarks are beautiful, even at stock numbers for this low of a clock speed. Definitely a noticeable difference from the Brisbane, but at a slight temp disadvantage. Great bargain gaming CPU

Cons: Only one I'd say is get the box for the warranty and chuck the heatsink into the box. Get something COPPER. Idles at around 37-39, which is great, but when I start putting it under heavy load (video encoding, especially), I've seen spikes of 50+ to even 60.
