Most Favorable Review

it's a half decent case

Rosewill RISE ATX Full Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, EATX Support, Dual PSU Support, Optional 360mm Water Cooling Radiator, up to 7 Fan Support
Rosewill RISE ATX Full Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, EATX Support, Dual PSU Support, Optional 360mm Water Cooling Radiator, up to 7 Fan Support

Pros: Space and Configuration Possibilities are great, even with an EATX board and 240mm radiator. The fans that come with it are quiet enough (for cheap fans), and have a nice amount of static pressure. the two grills keep out a majority of the dust, and the tinted side panel (yes, there is one) is a nice look for not having a lot of lights internally

Cons: the product itself feels like no love was put into it, the cable protectors around the holes on the inside fall out extremely easily, which is an annoyance, so just take them out from the get go to save yourself the hastle. my side windows came pre scratched, and the bar in the back for the PCI slots doesn't allow for a DVI connection on the top one.

Overall Review: if you want a tall black box that's spacious, and has awesome air flow, get this. It's basically the ford flex of cases. Once you've tried it, you're comfortable in the boxiness of the case, and get used to it's quirks.

Most Critical Review

Do not buy this product

Thermaltake TR2 Bronze 700W SLI / CrossFire Ready Continuous Power ATX12V v2.31 / EPS v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE CertifiedActive PFC Power Supply Haswell Ready TR-700
Thermaltake TR2 Bronze 700W SLI / CrossFire Ready Continuous Power ATX12V v2.31 / EPS v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE CertifiedActive PFC Power Supply Haswell Ready TR-700

Pros: - cheap - "700W" - long cables

Cons: - kills your hardware due to lack of consistent output (over and under) - not efficient - cables are long, but in some cases still not long enough, or way too long for a cable that is never used by most set ups (P4)

Overall Review: been hunting for the reason my OC wasn't working, and been wondering why 2 graphics cards I put in my machine were dying after replacing the mobo/cpu. Turns out it was this piece of hardware that killed it. I'm glad I found out before it fried my SECOND graphics card. Wish I never bought this.

Sexiest RAM Ever.

XPG V1.0 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model AX3U1600W8G9-DB

Pros: just look at it, are you not entertained? The best kind of RAM looks good, and you never have to think about it. that is this ram

Cons: does not like to OC. Will fight you, but it'll do it.

Overall Review: it looks awesome, and works great, it's RAM. there really isn't much else to say about it.

Perfect price for what I needed it for.

G.SKILL Value 1GB DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model F1-3200PHU1-1GBNT

Pros: literally everything about this is perfect for non-intensive comuting purposes. Even when given bigger tasks, it still pushes through. Visually fits in with the older computer RAM.

Cons: Zero. None. Nein. No. Pas de problem.

Overall Review: I bought this because I wanted to upgrade my family computer from XP to windows 7, and it was painfully slow, now the 6 year old computer (somehow it was a 64-bit processor in it) runs almost at par with my HP-G72 laptop. VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PRODUCT :D

Beginners failure.

Pros: liked everything about this.

Cons: my ineptitude on how to remove an oollllddd style heatsink clip made me unable of knowing the socket type for the prebuilt brandless computer I was planning on putting this computer in, it was the wrong one...

Overall Review: wishing I could return it... can't, maybe I'll find another computer to shove this in... I would just rather return it though...
