Most Favorable Review

Great for the price

Rosewill RSV-Z2700U 2U Server Chassis Rackmount Case | 4 3.5"/2.5" HDD, 1 5.25" Device | Micro-ATX Compatible | 2 80mm Fans | USB 3.0, USB 2.0 | Silver/Black
Rosewill RSV-Z2700U 2U Server Chassis Rackmount Case | 4 3.5"/2.5" HDD, 1 5.25" Device | Micro-ATX Compatible | 2 80mm Fans | USB 3.0, USB 2.0 | Silver/Black

Pros: - Great for the price - USB 2 and 3 front headers - 5.25" device slot, very useful to add hot swappable drives

Cons: - The fans are not so great but it's easy to change them - Not enough room to fit all harddrives with my heatsink

Overall Review: I'm actually quite happy with it. I bought that version with the 5.25" spot so I can add an ICY Dock with 4 hot-swappables. I'm glad I did that because this case is very tight and I could not make fit the 2 hard drives in front of the fans. Biggest heatsink I was able to put in is the NH-L12 Ghost Edition, which is very quiet and cools down a Ryzen 5900x without issue. CPU maxes out at 72c. Taller than this one by a few mm would prevent the lid to close. I had to unscrew the PSU fan protection, otherwise it would not fit the case. The instructions explain the order to undo/redo the case since it is so crammed. Would buy again! A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Overall Review: I bought it because it's platinum and because the fan is quiet. Well it is VERY quiet, I can barely hear it even with the case opened with my ear close to it. No point in using the hybrid mode.

Happy with it

Pros: - 8 SATAs, 7 fan plugs, 2 NVMEs - Unofficially works with first gen Ryzen (1700x), just had to downgrade the BIOS otherwise it was not posting - Can update firmware from IPMI - IPMI is awesome, didn't know I needed it - Bonded IPMI/Network Ethernet plug, can be un-bonded if need be. - Worked with all parts I had lying around - No RGB

Cons: - No USB2 header - I wish the USB3 header was farther from the heatsink area because it makes the cable all bent. Still works very well though - Shipped with a bug in the IPMI tool which prevents proper control of fans, just need to upgrade its firmware

Overall Review: Despite some cons which I think can be easily mitigated, this is a great board. The IPMI is easy to use and I've got zero issue with the board. I added parts I already had and it all worked right away. Would buy again A++++

Pros: Was for my Dad's PC build and I wouldn't give him Linux as he would just stop using the computer. I like that it was on a usb key, who wants DVDs in today's age?

Cons: I think there are a few things like remote desktop and group policy that should work fully on home edition.

Can't complain

Pros: Was cheap compared to other products which was the reason I bought it. I can't complain as it has been in my laptop ever since without a single issue. Fast and reliable

Cons: none

Awesome card!

Pros: Had it for two months... I'm quite happy with this card! My computer is good for a longer while now. Switched from hd3870 to this so you can imagine the difference I see. It's also huge next to the old one. I can play most of my games near max settings

Cons: I hate mail in rebates, 5 to 7 weeks to receive a stupid prepaid card after they took 2 days to process my mailed information but I knew about it and took it anyway...

Overall Review: It is a little bit noisier but not much, I already got used to it. .
