great case

Corsair Carbide Series 400R Graphite Grey and Black ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case
Corsair Carbide Series 400R Graphite Grey and Black ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case

Pros: huge. Im using the stock intel cooler and a gtx 670 and I could still fit a watermelon in here. awesome cable management holes. looks sleek with a modular psu. white LEDs are more tasteful than color i think, but you could still turn them off. really quiet, most of the noise comes from the 670 it looks like it can fit 2 of those double wide self contained water coolers if you wanted to. only the motherboard/psu cannot be installed without tools, everything else is toolless huge bump on both doors allow many cables to be hidden there

Cons: scratched the motherboard side door with a screw sticking out of my wall. i guess thats my fault though.

Overall Review: optical/hard drive bays not removable, if youre into that kind of thing it has some weird handle thing on top that you cant really use for storage and cant really use for lifting since it feels a bit weak and there's no other grab point. whats up with that

Most Critical Review

Dont get this

Link Depot FAN-6015-B 60mm Case Cooling Fan
Link Depot FAN-6015-B 60mm Case Cooling Fan

Pros: It did a good job as an extra fan on my graphics card for the price.

Cons: I was playing a game, and I heard a loud *snap* in the case. So I turned everything off quickly, and I discovered that 2 blades of the fan just snapped off, and I couldn't find them.

Overall Review: Wouldn't spin initially, i had to excersize it by spinning it a little each startup, because it would just stop and heat up. dont waste time and get something else.

Great video card

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card ZT-60301-10P
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card ZT-60301-10P

Pros: Got this for $400 several months ago and even at that price it is totally worth it. extremely powerful, runs almost all games maxed with no AA (i dont care much for AA, and im using a crt monitor) 1920x1200 at 75 fps, rarely going below 50. I almost never changed my settings to gain performance.

Cons: it got way cheaper and comes with free games now reaches 75 c in bf3 and a few other extreme titles and is audible, but not so bad.

Overall Review: using it with 8GB ram, i5 3570k at 4.5 ghz. z68 extreme 3 gen 3

Wintec AMPO 512MB DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model 35145588-P
Wintec AMPO 512MB DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model 35145588-P

Pros: I had this ram for 2 weeks, and I could do things i never could've done, like for example: run flash, photoshop, and firefox all at the same time.

Cons: the olny con is that there isnt a gig stick for this price. (Although I bought it when it was still $35

Overall Review: I discovered with testing, that you can mix different sticks with this one. the other 2 sticks were my old double 128 megs. and it runs very fast, in contrast to 256 megs. link to the RAM amount screenshot

Excellent

Maxtor OneTouch III 300GB USB 2.0 / Firewire400 3.5" External Hard Drive T01G300 (STM303004OTAB05-RK)

Pros: This has a good Gigabyte to dollar ratio. It an handle continuous loads. the hardest part of the installation was deciding where to keep the hard drive.

Cons: Power cord comes out to easily, I was transferring a big file, and I reached behind my desk to get something, and the power cord came out, but luckily noting happened to the original.

Overall Review: Im constantly downloading, uploading, playing music, watching videos, moving files, all from this HD, and I have experienced no problems yet.
