Rosewill Gaming Computer Case - ATX Mid Tower - Top HDD Dock, Side Window Panel, 5 Preinstalled Fans - BLACKHAWK
Rosewill Gaming Computer Case - ATX Mid Tower - Top HDD Dock, Side Window Panel, 5 Preinstalled Fans - BLACKHAWK

Pros: USB 3.0 on Front Pannel. Absolutely Silent Fans Cable Routing is Brilliant. Top Located Hard Drive Attachment Blue Lights

Cons: Thin Mesh in front of fans in front / bottom / back is easily bent if not careful. No Passthrough USB 3.0 Cables for when your motherboard doesnt' have a 20pin usb 3.0 connection No Power Supply pre-installed so finding the right one with the right cable lengths to route properly is a challenge. Plastic Cages for the Hard Drives are flimsey and some are warped. If you install 3.5 drives its fine the drives flex them out, but with 2.5 drives I had to move them around to get the non warped ones where I wanted.

Overall Review: This case is the best I've ever seen. I have about 8 in my house right now. I have never had one go in so easy. And the features are unbelievable. The Negatives are so minor with it I can't rate it a 4 egg. The system is so quiet right now it is absolutely inaudible unless you put your ear right up to the fan. This thing could be in a theater room. Plenty of room, and the case is designed to really be a showcase if you want to route your cables around the back and make the install clean and neat. My 8 year old installed it while I watched football. I just told him how to hook up the cables and use a screwdriver etc. Had to help him with the cable routing, but he did it by himself, so that should tell you how easy it is. I'm looking for a USB 3.0 to male USB 3.0 20 pin to move my USB 3.0 connections from back to front as my MB doesn't have a USB 3.0 20 pin connector.

Make sure to turn off Power Save Mode

Pros: This tablet is blazing fast! As long as you don't put it in power saving mode. Light, and powerful. Lots of capabilities.

Cons: I dropped it 1 egg, because the battery life if you use it will last you about 8 hours, which is great if you only need 1 day of use out of it between charges. Batterylife could be a little better. If you put it in power save mode it is slow and unusable. This is likely to be expected with a quad core 3 gb system. Recharging port on the tablet is not placed well if you want to leave it on your desk propped up while charging it. If you lay it flat, you can get by with charging port where it is. Its so new there really aren't any good integrated keyboard / case solutions yet. I have been checkign each week. We just got a keyboard this week, but it doesn't look like it has a charger for the note to plug into.

Overall Review: This tablet is more powerful and faster than IPAD, but it requires more technical knowledge to use it than the other options out there. There are all kinds of shortcuts and hidden options, like 3 finger pull / push brings up edit menu in SNote. If you don't know that, then you are desperately looking for your edit menu to erase a mistake or even save the note... With use you will get the hang of it.

Select This Antenna for WIN!

Pros: Resolves Wireless Issues. Well Built Sturdy

Cons: Documentation is rather sparse. This was designed for a professional installer, but most willing technically minded do it yourself type people can figure it out within a few minutes.

Overall Review: I had the Zboost for about 8 months, and I was rather unsatisfied with it. I wasn't getting much if any boost from it at all. My antenna was on my chimney outside and the zboost was a 2 rooms away in my office. I had purchased the antenna with the zboost but never installed it. I was just about to decide the zboost was a waste of cash, when my grass guy came buy looking for work. So I paid him 75 bucks to mount it on my chimney. It sat up there for a month or more, before I remembered one saturday that all I had to do was hook up the cable and see if it helped any. So I hooked it up. My Cell signal went from 1 bar to 5 bars, and has been rock solid steady with perfect function since. I couldn't be happier with the solution. Now I can use my cellphone at home and even use it as a hotspot if my internet goes down. The Zboost is nothing without this thing!! One Suggestion: call your carrier and get the addr of closest tower. Use google maps to determine pointing direc
