Pros: Right out of the box, this thing screams quality. Includes a very nice back plate and the cooler is made from a durable grade thickness of aluminum. Seeming how most of it is copper and aluminum and the card is taller than normal, it is very heavy so be careful installing. - Chews up every game and digests it into a beautiful array of smooth graphics onto my screen. - Runs 2k flawlessly with high frames. - Asus ui controller allows for different performance modes with a simple click. Mine oc's to 1430mhz in oc mode.

Cons: - I may need to move some fans around and tweak fan profiles, but it does hit 78c in oc mode. Not exactly a con because oc temps are expected to be higher, but be aware that you will need to keep cooling in mind to get full potential of the card because it does get hot.

Overall Review: Don't buy this to run on 1080p. This card yawns at such resolutions. I decided to buy a 2k, 144hz monitor shortly after running this card. Now I am running 2k, max graphics, and typically over 100fps in all my games. Using this for 1080p is like using a chainsaw to cut open a hot pocket, its overkill. - People will try to argue the msi lightning is better, but i disagree coming from my two prior 670 msi power editions and msi mobo. MSI pcbs, boards, and cards are cheaply made, flimsy, and break or end up having issues. Minimally larger clocks does not compensate for the quality you will get from buying this card over the lightning. -If you got the cash and are willing and want to have the best gaming experience, then buy this card. PS: This card has a very high power consumption, especially when stressed and oc'd. Don't be like some of the other reviewers trying to run on minimal or unstable psu's.

Pros: They are fan screws.. I bought them because a few of mine were stripped and I needed some for my fan filters that I purchased along with these.

Cons: It shows in multiple places that this is supposed to be a pack of 50 and the little box I received only had 25.

Overall Review: I didn't get what I was supposed to get, but oh well. It was 5 bucks and it is definitely not worth an rma. I just wish newegg would change this to a 25 pack so people know what they are ordering.

Pros: It looked cool and was packaged well. Newegg makes it easy to return.

Cons: I had my suspicions right away during install when I could hear water noises just moving it around to get it secured to the case. "that's probably not good.." I have installed quite a few AIOs in my time and this was the first where I could actually hear the water swishing around inside. Maybe mine in particular, wasn't filled up enough allowing large air bubbles to get trapped in the pump? There was no signs of water anywhere so it didn't leak in the box. I would have noticed moisture in the plastic or stains on cardboard. On first test fire, it immediately made a horrible water noise accompanied by a whizzing sounding pump noise. No leaks that I could see. Figured maybe it was air bubbles so i tried moving and tilting the case and it got better, but I could still hear it. Decided to do some things in bios while it cycled and heat up hoping it would go away. Then my pc locks up and shuts down. I give it a few seconds and power back on to be greeted with CPU over heating failure. Apparently it pegged at 90c and shutdown. This was the final straw so back to newegg it goes!

Overall Review: I'm honestly shocked. This was my first legit DOA after building pcs for 20 years. Hopefully my 7 year old cpu that I was installing this on for a second system is still okay. I have the EK 360 black out aio in my main system cooling a 13700k very well and I can barely even hear it. I have recommended the 360 for my friends builds and they have all loved theirs. Thought this 280 would be fine, but apparently not. I see the reviews are very good as well so it seems I got lucky enough to get a dud from EK. This was for my daughters build for christmas so I had to rush ship another AIO to get it done before then. Glad I decided to build it beforehand to make sure everything was working before the return window was up. I decided to go with a different brand 280 for this build. I usually buy plain blackout parts with no lights or rgb so maybe the rgb tainted mine.. I'm kidding. I still plan to buy EK parts in the future, but this particular item, I will not. Consider this strike 1, EK... but because all my other EK products have been awesome and great quality, I am still a customer.

Pros: Sleeved cables! Excellent price! EVGA! Silent and provides plenty of power!

Cons: none!

Overall Review: I almost bought the G2 model, but it had bright red cables.... just leave them black evga. I owned a corair psu before and their cables are awful and cheap. Never going back. I am now a firm believer in evga power supplies and for the price, you can't beat it.

Pros: Upgraded from my 6 year old asus 1080p monitor. As another viewer said, it is almost like the jump from a hard drive to a ssd. I really didn't expect such a massive difference, but wow. gsync is incredible and 2k looks amazing. -no dead pixels, bleed, or any other defects -the stand for this thing is impeccable! so easy to adjust and instal. its solid aluminum with a good amount weight too. -very thin bezel around edges. love it. -after calibration, the colors and brightness are great. it was extremely bright out of the box. -came with a display port cable and has 2 usb3.0 ports on side. -view angle looks fine to me. I don't understand that gripe with TN panels. I sit directly infront of it so...

Cons: I can't think of a single one, honestly. The buttons are tiny and hard to press I guess, but whatevs? Atleast they work like they are supposed to unlike asus?

Overall Review: Don't get the asus swift. Get this one instead. Just look at reviews on the swift. QC issues out the wazu. Dell has been making monitors for a very long time and they have been extremely good at it. If you are putting thus much money down, it should work without any defects plain and simple. No excuse for faulty products in this price range. This monitor doesn't have the fancy "red dot" add-in like the swift, but there are alternatives to that. I wanted to buy this from newegg, but it was priced 80 dollars more than amazon. Now it is listed for 30 dollars cheaper than amazon... sigh..

Pros: I honestly don't know where to start. If the promotional video under the overview tab doesn't sell you on this case, I don't know what will. I really really wanted a Caselabs case, which are simply put, the best you can buy(ever), but I couldn't bring myself to spend that much on a case. This case comes close. -The panels are thick, heavy, sturdy! I don't move my computer around much, light weight doesn't make sense for me. -The ingenuity put into this case rivals caselabs. This case reigns supreme in modular features. -No exposed fan grills. It's a new look, and I love it. I don't notice any hindered airflow or extra noise. My system runs ice cold. -Paint job is very nice and the window seems more scratch resistant than my old cases. -Cable management is so easy and clean. Best I have experienced in my several years of building. The bottom chamber and the tie off points help with that. The front panel connectors are plenty long and blend in with all the other cables unlike some other cases. -The internal layout is almost exactly like the Define S from Fractal Design, but with an added bottom chamber and more optimal hard drive mounting locations. -The fan mounting in this thing is awesome. If you notice in the promotional video, the top fan mount tray is not limited to generic screw holes so if you want just 1 or 2 fans in the top, you have the freedom to move them to the exact position you want by just sliding the fans around. The front mounts are similar, but don't offer as much freedom. I mounted my h110i GTX radiator in the front with fans in pull for the most optimal layout and it fit like a glove. I was pretty much limited to 1 position for the rad in the front, but it was aligned perfectly with CPU and GPU. -No drive bays! This is 2016... drive bays are a dying breed. You don't need them. -Built in mini PWM fan control board! Yeah, no need for a fan controller or pesky drive bays or any other nonsense! Control fans with your motherboard not with a shady fan controller. - Panels come off with ease and stay on when they are supposed to. HINGED DOORS! -The side panel window is probably the best shape and cut I have ever seen on a case. They couldn't have done it better. -The placement of everything was extremely well thought out. The SSD mounts, cable cut outs, everything... -Best accessory box I have ever seen. Includes everything you need in quality packaging.

Cons: I really really wanted to give this a perfect score because I absolutely love it and still regard it as the best case you can buy if you have the money. (Besides caselabs of course) - Right out of the box, my main side door panel had noticeable scratch marks in the paint where the edges of the panels meet with the door closed at the top. Although they are small and on the EDGES, my door wasn't shut entirely so I could see where the door was not meeting up with the case perfectly. I think this happened because the panels are thicker than normal cases so they do not allow for much margin of error in the manufacturing plant. The normal thin metal cases are able to compensate for this and are able to warp ever so slightly to where this is not a problem. I was able to slightly adjust it to get it to shut smoother and now I can't see the scratch marks because the two surfaces are meeting properly. Also, because the panels are thick, I would recommend not having your cables and connectors on the backside stick out further than the edge of the chasis. The thick panels can potentially crush thin plastic connectors if they are sticking out too far. -The interior chasis is made of our thinner aluminum and they could definitely improve their thin aluminum craftsmen ship. I am nit picking here, but I had majorly high expectations for this case. - The PWM control board could be improved. It works fine and as advertised, but I have seen better circuitry work in a child's toy. I would recommend being very careful when working with it or around it(fragile) and read the instructions in the manual about the optional sata power cable that connects to it. Don't use the sata power cable if you don't have to, simply put. -Why not include the hard drive mount for the bottom instead of selling it separately? This is frustrating because now I have to order 1 measly little part to install my hard drive because I have no where else to mount it with my 280 rad installed. -SSD brackets' screw holes could be slightly larger to allow adjustment and proper placement of SSDs so we don't strip out the mounting holes in the sides of our SSDs. I caught it real quick, but others might not and it was more difficult than it should have been. You must align the holes PERFECTLY, like PERFECTLY, with the holes in the SSD bracket to get screws in without stripping.

Overall Review: I really wanted to give it a perfect score, but I couldn't because it is not perfect. It has some very minor things that can be improved, but are more than compensated for by everything else. With my new build fully complete, I am quite amazed by how it all looks. This case is the best case I have ever owned by far. It was a pleasure to build in. I took my time and enjoyed every last bit of it. The layout of this case is the best in the market for your average to extreme gamer. Everything is where it should be, it just makes sense and everything fits like a glove. PS: Take my nit picking with a grain of salt. I very picky with cases. If you have the money to buy this case, do it. You won't find better with any others at this price range.
