COUGAR Orange Challenger Black Steel ATX Computer Case with 12cm COUGAR TURBINE HYPER-SPIN Bearing Silent Fans and 20cm LED Fan
COUGAR Orange Challenger Black Steel ATX Computer Case with 12cm COUGAR TURBINE HYPER-SPIN Bearing Silent Fans and 20cm LED Fan

Pros: -Sturdy -Roomy inside -Quiet fans -Good air-flow -Was very easy transferring all the guts from my old case to this one. -Easy to hide cords -Looks great!

Cons: -none so far

Overall Review: I tried a Cougar brand PSU a couple years ago and was surprised how well built it was and it's still running great! I decided to give them a try again with this new case and so far, I'm very happy. My old N4XT case was awkward to carry, flimsy, and heavy as hell. Not to mention all th N4XT fans went out in it one by one and could only be replaced by more uselessN4XT brand fans. What a joke. Cougar produces a much higher quality product.

Most Critical Review

Nice, but not worth the price.

Ferrari Logic3 T350T Active Noise-Canceling Cavallino Collection Headphones- Tan
Ferrari Logic3 T350T Active Noise-Canceling Cavallino Collection Headphones- Tan

Pros: - The sound is pretty nice - Nice carrying case - Fancy packaging. If I hadn't RMA'd them, I would use the box they came in as a sort of "stash box". It was well-made for a disposable package. Looks nice and made from thick cardboard that reminded me of a hard-cover book.

Cons: - They are flimsy and arrived with a broken earpiece - Despite internet reviews, they are not very comfortable when used over long periods of time. Possibly they didn't fit right because they were broken. I don't know. - Battery swap every 12-15 hours of use or so. And makes the most awful screeching noise in your ear when batteries are dying. - WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! Newegg's price is about half the price on the manufacturer website but still... way too much for what you get in the end. - Stupid looking Ferrari horse logo on each ear.

Overall Review: I bought these because my ears always hurt no matter what sub $100 headphones I tried. Reviews I found online said these were "extremely comfortable". They seem pretty dang comfy when you first put them on but after an hour or two the constant pressure on my ears is almost unbearable. NOT COMFY.

Sweet and simple

RAZER Black Wired BlackWidow Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

Pros: Love this keyboard. Button presses feel great. Mechanical clicking is satisfying if you like that.

Cons: The clicking can be picked up pretty easily on on your mic. Personally, I like the clicking sounds of the buttons but I get some complaints on my stream and youtube about it occasionally.

Overall Review: The only thing that would make me like this keyboard any more than I already do, would be some kind of subtle backlit keys. Not too bright but just enough to see which key is which.

Flimsy, awkward, and cheap fans.

NZXT Phantom PHAN-002OR Newegg Exclusive Black Finish w/Orange Trim Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case
NZXT Phantom PHAN-002OR Newegg Exclusive Black Finish w/Orange Trim Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Looks cool with the orange trim and lights. Has individual fan speed controls.

Cons: One side fan had a broke off fin right out of the box. One by one, all but one of the other fans started making annoying noises and died after a while. I bought a 200mm fan because there is a place for one on the side. I never did get it installed since there were no screws included with the fan or case and none of the regular case screws I had in my collection would work. Very frustrating. This case is also very heavy and awkwardly shaped so not easy to move around if you need to. If you try to grab it by the front at all the entire front panel will break off in your hand. I got a new desk the other day and while trying to move my PC, I forgot how flimsy the front panel was and it broke off in my hand when I lifted my PC up. My entire rig dropped like 2 feet to the floor!! I almost had a heart attack! Luckily no major components were damaged in the fall (besides the case itself) but this was the last straw. I ordered a new case yesterday. I will NEVER buy a NZXT product again.

Overall Review: Instead of ordering this case, just super glue all your internal hardware to a plastic milk crate. You'll be better off.

Works great and price is nice.

ZOTAC GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card ZT-70401-10P
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card ZT-70401-10P

Pros: A very affordable GTX 760 and worth the price. Works great so far. I've never tried any Zotac products before but I'm happy with this GPU. Every game I've tried has been smooth and beautiful even while recording and/or livestreaming with Open Broadcaster Software.

Cons: I don't know much about Zotac. So far so good though!

Overall Review: I was going to buy a 600 series card because I was on a 200 dollar budget. When I saw this card on sale for under 200, I just had to give it a try. At full price I would have been less likely to buy it but I'd say you're still getting your moneys worth.

Works as expected

LOGISYS Computer PS575XBK 575W ATX12V SLI Ready   Power Supply
LOGISYS Computer PS575XBK 575W ATX12V SLI Ready Power Supply

Pros: Cheap for low performance budget builds.

Cons: Not sure how long it will last.

Overall Review: For 35 bucks even if it only works a month or two you can't really complain. I mean you got a PSU for 35 bucks... chances are it's not the best one out there.
