Most Favorable Review
Cooler Master Elite 310 RC-310-BKR2-GP Black with blue front panel Steel Body / ABS plastic front bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 420W Power Supply
Cooler Master Elite 310 RC-310-BKR2-GP Black with blue front panel Steel Body / ABS plastic front bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 420W Power Supply

Pros: Nice box. Very lightweight.

Cons: The power supply cables are a little short and unable to reach all the slots for the drives. With one HD in the top slot, and the DVD drive in the bottom slot (closest as possible, the 2 SATA connectors still would not reach both. I had to scrounge up some adapters. Most newer drives have this type of connector.

Overall Review: I purchased this case as part of a combo. A minor concern is that with the ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 AM3 AMD 880G HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard installed, there is inadequate support for the board down on the corner where you connect to the SATA ports. It would be great to be able to add an additional standoff to support that corner.

Customer Service Gr8, Brewer lasts about 3 weeks

Pros: Awesome. Love the brewer.

Cons: I am on my 4th brewer in 2 months. They fail to operate properly after about three weeks. Keurig replaces it under warranty with no problem, but I think it shows they need to have some more QA done on their electronic parts. We've had the same model at the office for about 6 months or so, and never had a problem. I think they tried to make too many too fast for the Christmas season.

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T - Phenom II X6 Thuban 6-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM3 125W Desktop Processor - HDT55TFBGRBOX

Pros: Awesome! I am really liking AMD. Better cost and cooler operating than Intel.

Cons: None that I can tell.

Overall Review: Bought this to use with the ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 AM3 AMD Stuffed 16Gb memory into that puppy and unlocked the core. Compared to the one this replaced, I may have to bolt it to the desk to keep it from running away.

G.SKILL NS 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-4GBNS

Pros: Cheap, cost effective

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I bought as part of a kit, but removed it after a day when I upgraded to 4x4GB to mx out my motherboard. It should suffice as a ready spare should I ned it to upgrade another system.

I Despise Preinstalled Software that you cannot delete

WD My Passport Elite 500GB USB 2.0 2.5" Portable External Hard Drive WDBAAC5000ARD-NESN Metallic Red

Pros: Slim, compact, conveniently pre-assembled

Cons: I thought I bought a 500GB hard drive, not a 465GB Hard Drive with Un-removable software embedded on it. I was sadly mistaken once again. Thanks for the let down WD!

Overall Review: Next time I'll buy and OEM drive and an external enclosure so I can assemble it myself, and install what I want, when I want it.
