Excellent Lan Party Case

Cooler Master Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: The carrying handle is far stronger than expected which makes transportation far easier. very strong sturdy construction even with panels removed case does not flex. The front mesh is constructed of good thickness metal, unlike previous meshes (Antec). Styling is actually superb. The button for the fan lights seems pointless, but is quite nice to have standard. The tool-less setup was far better than I have worked with in other brands such as Raidmax, Hard drive racks are extremely easy to install and remove but they remain firmly mounted even when transporting. The optical bays were the same way but was no better than other mounts. Back clips especially for video cards must have a screw added or it will come lose during transporting but thats pretty normal. The bottom intake for the psu is simply a huge saver to the temperature of your rig.

Cons: Alignment of the side panels is a pain as the case is slightly off square. Don't have high hopes on hiding the wires unless you plan on using small gage wire as there is little space for wires. The plastic feet are a disappointed as they are made as cheap as they come, while they are still attached they just done feel like they are up to the task. It would be nice to have some more room at the top for a aftermarket cpu cooler but with constant transportation stock is much safer.

Overall Review: Back clips especially for video cards must have a screw added or it will come lose during transporting but thats pretty normal. Take to blocks of wood or something to prop the case up on carpet during lan parties as the psu will over heat.

Poor capacitors, nice price

Test 033
Test 033

Pros: Very well packaged in dry ice bubble wrap, with bubble wrap egg containers! In a month when I check my bank statement I wont have to explain when I bought more "computer junk" (as my wife calls it) all I have to say is "Honey, the price tells you when I bought them"

Cons: All I wanted is 3 5F capacitors. Instead its 3 dry ice bubble wrapped capacitors. Then the electrode were not included, so I tried to put 2 in each and every one of these capacitors leaked this goo. So now not only am I REALLY REALLY MAD that these are not solid capacitors, I concerned that now I have some major heart attack on the way from all that cholesterol!

Overall Review: At least my wife wont be like "Why did you buy more computer junk with out telling me?" any more I can say honey the price say it all. Thanks Newegg.com for the awesome service, selection, speed and being the most reliable one stop online computer component shop! [The marriage counselling helped also ;)]

Pros: Simple easy set up, nice basic manual toaster oven. Glass door and sturdy racks. Well priced for the features and does what its should.

Cons: manual "Clicky" timer, kinda annoying but for the price its not a real con.
