Good case
Pros: One of the only options for water cooling in the mini-ITX form factor. It can fit a slim (30mm or less) 240mm radiator and a 60mm thick 140mm radiator, which is really good for a mini-ITX. It can fit a full size PSU and GPU. Dust filters on all the fan mounts except the two 80mm ones, even the PSU has a dust filter. Pretty good build quality. Looks good. Everything is toolless. Hard drive/SSD bays, top and side panels, PSU, GPU, everything. The only thing I can remember needing a screwdriver for was removing the 5.25" bay.
Cons: Big for a mini-ITX. No filters on the 80mm fan slots. Only comes with one 120mm fan while the slot next to it is empty. I wish Corsair sold an optional windowed side panel for it like they do for some other cases. That would be great for showing off acrylic water blocks considering the horizontal motherboard and the GPU being next to the side panel. Cable management is as bad as you'd expect for a mini-ITX, although at least they tried to include places to use cable ties on.
Overall Review: One of the best mini-ITX cases on the market for high end rigs, although if you just want a HTPC or whatever you'll be disappointed with the size.
Pros: It probably has the best radiator capacity for a micro-ATX case if you don't mind removing the HDD cages. It has SSD mounts hidden in the cable routing area. It has dust filters.
Cons: Too much plastic. The built-in fan controller is worthless. It's the size of a mid-tower.
Overall Review: The overall quality is mediocre, although it's probably the best you'll be able to do for $100. It's a pretty good case if you want to custom water cool a micro-ATX rig. If you're going to air cool or use a AIO water cooler there are much better options.
Gold Wireless Headset
Pros: It's cheap.
Cons: The build quality is terrible. The hinges are flimsy and one broke. Everything is plastic. The sound quality sucks, both for the speakers and the mic. The ear cups aren't deep enough to not touch my ears and it gets uncomfortable after a while. I wish they had slightly more diameter too.
Overall Review: It's not the worst headset I've owned, but it's in the bottom 3. It's expected, however, considering the price.
Aven 10360-ER
Pros: The handles are comfortable I guess? What do you want me to say? Pliers are all pretty much identical.
Cons: It can't fix things by itself.
Phanteks Enthoo Evolv
Pros: Excellent build quality. Innovative features. Generally well thought out design. Looks great. Phanteks has made a new fan. After trying this case I probably won't be buying another brand any time soon. I'm already planning on moving up to the ATX Evolv when motherboard upgrade time comes around again.
Cons: Air flow is a bit restricted on the top exhaust fans. Some power LED colors are too dim. There's a mounting bracket thingy hidden to the right of the window. Phanteks claims you can mount 2 SSDs or an SSD and a HDD on it, but that isn't true unless you're willing to give up your top exhaust fans because of clearance issues. It needs a good option for mounting a HDD aside from the HDD cage, which most of the demographic the case is designed for will be removing in favor of the pump mount or a front radiator. Phanteks doesn't know how to spell evolve.
Overall Review: I highly recommend this case.
Pros: It works fine. It's one of the better looking ones I've had.
Cons: It's not exactly super high quality, but that's normal for these things. Relative to other anti-static straps it's pretty well made though.
Overall Review: I recommend it.
I bought a X-acto knife from them. Nothing really stood out to me as being good, but nothing went wrong either. Pretty much a normal, average online shopping experience.
