Most Favorable Review

Some pretty clueless users lol!

AMD Athlon X4 845 with AMD quiet cooler Quad-Core Socket FM2+ 65W AD845XACKASBX Desktop Processor
AMD Athlon X4 845 with AMD quiet cooler Quad-Core Socket FM2+ 65W AD845XACKASBX Desktop Processor

Pros: Buying the cpu and blaming AMD because they think the Athlon has built in graphic capabilities and it obviously doesn't. Or that their motherboard won't post not and not smart enough to realize it is a newer cpu and many FM2+ boards would need a BIOS update for new AGESA code to recognize the cpu. So they give the cpu 1 egg when it is their fault.

Cons: None.

Most Critical Review

I own a CH5FZ and Sabertooth 990FX Gen1 and R2 and a Crossblade Ranger but will now look elsewhere.

ASUS Prime X370-Pro AM4 AMD X370 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI ATX Motherboards - AMD
ASUS Prime X370-Pro AM4 AMD X370 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI ATX Motherboards - AMD

Pros: I really can't say many positive things about my X370-Pro due to the fact features that were in the bios have disappeared and that this board is getting the short shrift on support compared to the Crosshair VI Hero.

Cons: Lackluster at best support from ASUS. Disappearing and or missing features in the bios.

Much bigger than the stock hsf. The price was right too.

Overall Review: Not much to say except it is cheap and worth the price.

These aren't realy Phanteks cases. They are rebranded Jonsbo cases. Really like the case with a couple caveats.

Metallic Gear Neo Series MG-NE510_SR01 Silver Sandblasted Aluminum, Steel Chassis, Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Metallic Gear Neo Series MG-NE510_SR01 Silver Sandblasted Aluminum, Steel Chassis, Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Looks really nice. The build quality is very good for the price point.

Cons: A few things I would change. Make a real basement for the psu and remove the goofy designs from the tempered glass. I also would make the side panel aluminum and ditch the tempered glass. Who wants to look at cabling? My biggest gripe is that the are no cut outs or grommeted areas to run your 24 pin cable or your USB cable. You just have to stuff them thru the narrow channel. It is awkward and looks unfinished. Kind of like the designers forgot that you have to run these cables. I know this is kind of harsh but a good idea could have been made a whole lot better imho.

Overall Review: Maybe there will be further revisions of the case with a little more refinement.

Bought this case fo basically half off.

Pros: Half off and that is about it. I knew going in how badly the case was reviewed but went against my better judgement due to curiosity.

Cons: Decided to take a flyer because this case was so cheap despite the terrible reviews. Mistake on my part. EVGA makes a lot of great things. cases aren't among them. The case design is half baked at best. Then add in the lack of build quality and you have a real dud. When a case is half off that should ring alarm bells lol!

Still waiting on my rebate. It was approved December 19. It is almost March.

Pros: I love the product but the ridiculous amount of time to get my rebate is really weak. So I ca't give five stars. Come on MSI. This is no way to treat your customers.

Cons: See my comment above.
