Most Critical Review

Not the Greatest

Deepcool TESSERACT SW Red SPCC Plastic Rubber Coating ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Compatible with ATX 12V / EPS 12V Power Supply (Not Included)
Deepcool TESSERACT SW Red SPCC Plastic Rubber Coating ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Compatible with ATX 12V / EPS 12V Power Supply (Not Included)

Pros: * Looks nice * Great Side Panel * Includes 2x fans * spots for additional fans for more airflow. * Good Price (paid $30)

Cons: * Terrible Cable Management, it has space behind the motherboard tray, but putting cables there makes getting the side panel on a pain in the rear almost requiring too people * Cheap flimsy Metal, easily distorts when putting the side panel on with lots of cables this is not the first Deepcool case i had this problem with leading me to belive it is a problem with Deepcool cases in general.

Overall Review: I would not recommend this unless you have a modular PSU and limited items in the computer (i used it with a modular PSU)

Decent overclocker on Ryzen 3000

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3333 (PC4 26600) Desktop Memory Model CMK32GX4M2C3333C16
CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 3333 (PC4 26600) Desktop Memory Model CMK32GX4M2C3333C16

Pros: - Runs at rated speed with no tweaks with Ryzen 3000 (even with 4 sticks) - Decent overclocking - Low enough profile for my aircooler

Cons: - Not phenomonial overclocking

Overall Review: Got this for my build in the summer, originally couldn't get the rated speed with my 2700X (which turned out to be a defective CPU), upgraded to a Ryzen 7 3800X recently, not only do these sticks run at the rated 3333 16-18-18-36, they also overclock to 3600 16-17-16-32 @ 1.395v using 4 sticks this was determined by using DRAM Calculator for Ryzen, using the settings Zen 2, Samsung B-die (a previous review said B-die, not 100% sure of that) V1 profile version, X570, Zen 2 with the tRCDRD changed from 16 to 17 and following recommendations from the power supply system. obviously your sticks could be different.

Worthless

NavePoint 12 Inch Nylon UV Resistant Cable Wire Zip Tie 40 lbs - Black 100 Pack Lot Pcs Qty
NavePoint 12 Inch Nylon UV Resistant Cable Wire Zip Tie 40 lbs - Black 100 Pack Lot Pcs Qty

Pros: - It's a cable tie

Cons: - It's so poorly made and cheap that you even bend it and it just snaps

Overall Review: avoid this at all cost, just pay a little more for something that lasts.

Good airflow, but very noisy

BitFenix Spectre Pro BFF-LPRO-23030B-RP 230mm Blue LED Case Fan
BitFenix Spectre Pro BFF-LPRO-23030B-RP 230mm Blue LED Case Fan

Pros: - Decent Airflow - Blue LEDS

Cons: - Noisy, the blades are constantly grinding against the case making an annoying ticking noise that is VERY loud, the fan blades are too close to the case when mounted

Decent case but somewhat flimsy

Thermaltake Core V71 Extreme Full Tower Chassis, Compatible With Extreme Liquid Cooling Builds (CA-1B6-00F1WN-00)
Thermaltake Core V71 Extreme Full Tower Chassis, Compatible With Extreme Liquid Cooling Builds (CA-1B6-00F1WN-00)

Pros: - Looks Nice - Plenty of Room - Lots of HDD bays

Cons: - Support Bar looks ugly - Power button loud - Flimsy - Motherboard tray flexes, removing a graphics card is a pain in the rear - about 3 Months after the rebate has been approved and still no rebate. - A pain to install 140mm case fans on the front and top as they have to be secured in from the inside of the case. I am most irritated about the $30 mail-in-rebate that is approved and has not come in yet, it has been about 3 months

Overall Review: If a rebate is why you pick this case, then pick another if you value your sanity, this case is a pain to work with especially removing a GPU, or installing 140mm case fans (and probably 120mm as well)
