Most Favorable Review

Fine for the price...I guess

Lenovo ThinkServer TS130 Tower Server System Intel Core i3-3220 3.3GHz 2C/4T 4GB No Hard Drive 1105B2U

Pros: Quick booting.

Cons: Onboard NIC failed after 5 weeks

Overall Review: Thank goodness it has an open PCI slot for an addon NIC.

Awesome Case

XION Gaming Series XON-980-BK Black with RED LED Light Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Very roomy. Bigger than my old TTm60. Two front 120MM and one rear 1200MM fans provide very good airflow through the case. The drive bays are nice and easy to remove without tools.

Cons: None really.

Overall Review: The added area up top for a 240MM Liquid cooler is very nice., I've mounted a Coolermaster 240m Seidon up there and it fits perfectly and still leaves plenty of room above the motherboard and ram slots. I'll probably buy another one of these next time I need another case.

My first Liquid Cooling unit

Cooler Master Seidon 240M - All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 240mm Radiator and 2 Fans

Pros: Solid feeling Nice copper surface in the heatsink Somewhat Easy to mount/install Quiet during normal use

Cons: Screws included are a tad short when mounting the radiator in the top of my case. I saw other reviews mention this so I wasn't surprised. I'll just pick up some longer ones when I hit the hardware store.

Overall Review: I paired this with a FX-8320@4.0ghz.Idle temps 28C, OCCT Load test 49C. Seems to keep the CPU very cool. It's also really quiet. If I put my ear close the the case I can barely hear the pump making a humming sound. Also, the fans do rev up a little when my CPU got to mid 40's, but I don't think they were running at max, even when I had the CPU under full load. Overall, glad I bought it. I also got it for 69.99 after rebate.
