AWESOME !!!!!

Dell Alienware AW3418DW 34" (Actual size 34.14") 1900R WQHD 3440 x 1440 120Hz Overclocked NVIDIA G-SYNC HDMI DisplayPort 4xUSB 3.0 IPS LED Backlit Curved Gaming Monitor

Pros: Bought for $810 after 10% discount Nov 20, 2018. AWESOME !!! No dead pixels, backlight bleed minimal, IPS glow minimal, about 1 inch or less on all four corners. Both bleed/glow look better after installing TFT's color profile. Text at far-left & far-right sides not blurry at all. Buttons on bottom very cool. Easy 120 OC/G-Sync. Beautiful colors/graphics w/ 1080 Ti. Very cool reusable Dell foam/box if you ever relocate.

Cons: Stand heavy/legs protrude far out but eh, Dell knows what they're doing.

Overall Review: Got REV A04. Was hoping for A05 but happy bc no issues at all.

Pros: Got me from resolution 1600x900 to 1920x1080 ! Playing Crysis smoothly now!

Cons: Too expensive.

Great if installed without hassle

Windows 10 Pro - Full Version 32 & 64-bit (USB Flash Drive)
Windows 10 Pro - Full Version 32 & 64-bit (USB Flash Drive)

Pros: Great if installed without hassle

Cons: "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the setup log files for more information." New custom build did not detect USB. Used diskpart/Windows command prompt & copied setup/installation files from USB to SSD, then booted from SSD, bypassing USB completely, preventing Windows from getting confused.

Overall Review: I feel cheated since it did not boot from USB. I paid $200 & had a hell of a time installing the OS. I feel I should be reimbursed for the price of Windows 10 Pro disc version, for my troubles. UPDATE 4/23/2019: This time my same custom build detected the USB Flash WIndows 10 Pro & EASILY installed onto a NVMe M.2 SSD. Incredible how EASY it was! I feel redeemed :D

BEST case I ever owned !!!

Pros: So much to say but forget all that. Just buy this super case! I came from a full size tower. Everything fits perfectly! Fractal is #1. Sale price $70 woot woot!

Cons: Prefer totally clear glass instead of light tint but not a big deal.

Cooler Master quality!
