After Build Thoughts

SilverStone RAVEN RV01-BW Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case
SilverStone RAVEN RV01-BW Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Huge!!!!!!, Quality, great cooling. Cannot deduct an Egg since its not neweggs fault for any of the problems listed below. Otherwise I LOVE this case. can you say Stealth Bomber? :)

Cons: #1, HD tray caddies are not up to par. the levers that snap the tray into place are VERY loose, One of mine was broke. I called silverstone and they are sending me a new one. #2, If you plan on running more than 4 hard drives, youll need some SATA cables longer than what comes with your motherboard or hard drives. I had to relocate the Hotswap to another bay. and put all hard drives as close to the motherboard as possible. So. if you want to have the hard drives with some space between them then youll need those longer sata cables. This is no fault by newegg. Silverstone should provide at least 2 long cables. #3, The door. the door the door. My girlfriend HATES it. you can manually make it close and open slow which cuts down on the horrific noise that it makes. it is LOUD! I do not mind it myself. I just wonder how long it will last. I use mine very carefully. I dont just slam it shut. No Squeeks yet. nothing some lube cant fix.

Overall Review: Again. youll want LONG sata cables. Expansion slots are slim. if you want to run Quad SLI. FORGET IT. 3 way sli you CAN do but then youll have only 1 slot for something else, AKA Fan Speed controller or anything else you may need an expansion slot for. Also no hole in the motherboard tray for CPU cooler changes. No big deal there.

Most Critical Review

Nice Keyboard, Terrible Software, Forced to pay to ship an RMA? unheard of.

G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780 MX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Blue with Gaming Keycaps
G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780 MX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Blue with Gaming Keycaps

Pros: Felt like a nice solid keyboard.

Cons: Software is junk. I had to keep unplugging the keyboard from my usb and replug it back in because it would just randomly stop working. Must download software off the internet. Volume slider kept getting stuck one way or the other forcing me to unplug/replug it even more. Stopped working on day 40. Stuck RMA'ing it.

Overall Review: Gskill has me RMA'ing the product. Making me pay the shipping. This will be the very last GSKILL Product I buy. Ive used their ram in the past. Maybe they should just stick to making ram. I wont be buying another Gskill product again after this. I do NOT recommend this keyboard. The software is really poor. Not only features but mostly stability. I have had to RMA alot of things in the past. In the 15 years ive been building computers I have never once had to pay to RMA something. Usually the company pays it. Not GSKILL. So be aware if you have to send this back.. your gonna be paying more than what you bargained for.

Terrible Fans

Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow, Supporting up to Six 120mm Fans and USB 3.0

Pros: Descent case.

Cons: Problem I have.. Every single fan died within 1 year. That is absolutely ridiculous.

Overall Review: I dont think i would buy Anything coolermaster ever again.. Going to stick to Silvetrstone from now on

Not the best,

Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 with 7.1 Surround Sound, Wireless Headphones with Microphone
Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 with 7.1 Surround Sound, Wireless Headphones with Microphone

Pros: Sounds good, When it works properly.

Cons: The headset randomly shuts off. sometimes it pops back on but im sitting right next to the receiver and it still goes down once in a while even while charging. Feels like interference but I eliminated anything wireless around the house to check it. Still ran the same.

Overall Review: The headband cushion for the top of the head is a tad thin. ive only experienced 3 bad times where i had take them off.

Terrible Plastic HD cage

SilverStone RAVEN RV01-BW Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case
SilverStone RAVEN RV01-BW Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Huge. Nice looking out of the box. Will update after build. But I wanted to point out something before anyone else buys this case. Due to this not being a newegg problem. I will not deduct any eggs.

Cons: The plastic hard drive trey's are made VERY VERY poorly. As soon as I opened the side panel the clips that hold the hard drive cages are extremely weak. they all will not stay closed. One of them was completely broke. Since this part of the case is extremely important. They HOLD your HARD DRIVES. I WOULD NOT Recommend this case do to this major flaw. I do NOT want to send it back and wait a week while ALL my parts are here ready to be installed. I will contact newegg and or silverstone to attempt to get one of the hard drive trey's to be replaced.

Overall Review: I'll return to update. Thanks.

Terrible

Hanns-G 19" Active Matrix, TFT LCD SXGA LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D HX-191DPB
Hanns-G 19" Active Matrix, TFT LCD SXGA LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D HX-191DPB

Pros: Price was definately right. But you get what you pay for. It was overnighted as I requested. for a nominal fee of coarse.

Cons: FOUR DEAD PIXELS. 3 Black/Grey and one very bright Red one. I did Manage to Rub the black ones out, and no it wasnt dust. Having knowledge of LCD's The Red one however wont make it. The top and the bottom of the monitor fade into a shade of light grey from the center being dark black. Image Quality is not very good in my opinion. When you see lines from color to color instead of a nicely blended picture how can that be good quality. Im very dissapointed. Sorry newegg.

Overall Review: I read all the reviews, no one had any problems. People hated the speakers. who uses these anyway really? So from the reviews no one had a dead pixel let alone 4. That was the selling point for me and the price. This is the 4th item ive had problems with from newegg in the last 7 months. I wish I knew what was going on. My bad luck I guess.
