Just buy it.
Pros: Buy it. Just do it. This case is the best full tower I have had in the last 17 years. No regrets.
Cons: It weighs a bit more than an obese capybara. don't let it fall on your face, it will break.....your face. inferior pc desks will sag under its beautiful, face breaking corpulence.
Overall Review: Buy it.
Meh
Pros: Good price if on sale. Good looking. Good feel for people with fat hands. Acceptable button placement. Good length for the cord.
Cons: Too light. Feels weightless when you first start using it. Plastic feels cheap. Left click is not always responsive. You have to click fairly hard.
Overall Review: Would not have bought it if it was not on sale.
Does it's job
Pros: 10 cores Handles everything I throw at it Plenty of overhead for HyperV.
Cons: Packaging seemed overly complicated and a waste of material.
Overall Review: This was an upgrade from a i7-4930k. The only reason I upgraded was due to my mobo finally dying. The 4930 probably still had another 5 years of life left. Hopefully the 10900 will last just as long. If I can squeak out another 7 years with this cpu, I will be happy.
So far so good - will update
Pros: Extremely simple setup Fantastic cable management Nice to look at
Cons: The magnetic infinity mirror piece feels a little cheap. But I like the idea.
Overall Review: I am upgrading from an older NZXT Kraken X series. The cable management alone makes me wish Phanteks released this years ago. The magnetic mirror plate seems to be completely optional. So if you don't like it, simply don't install it. The included cable organizers are a nice bonus. The fans can also be daisy chained to avoid cable clutter. I am still waiting for RAM, so no ability to load test my new system yet, but I am already impressed by the thought thilat has gone into the design. Side note - googly moogly, newegg! I ordered this on the afternoon of the 21st and it arrived the afternoon of the 22nd. I had forgotten how fast newegg is.
Its Been Great
Overall Review: After 5+ years I am still in love with this CPU. Painful to think about leaving it behind for a mobo upgrade.
Fantastic
Pros: If you are looking for a PSU to power your next high-end build, look no further. This will set you up for the next 5+ years.
Cons: The 'metal' box it comes in. It is almost like they expect you to carry this around with you. Its nice to store all the extra cables in, but kind of bulky. It reminds me of the old Morpheus geforce 3's that would ship in wooden boxes.
Overall Review: Rosewill does not seem to advertise this unit much. I had to do a lot of researching on different power supplies before I stumbled across the Hercules.
