Pros: Smart design, modern, excellent for placing next to expensive furniture (I use it for streaming foreign movies in the living room). Motherboard stand-off holes are cleanly pre-threaded (not all cases have tapped holes). Intelligent well thought-out design is easy to work with; everything fit properly including the DVD drive. Tons of extra space for hiding/storing excess wiring from power supply, etc.. No sharp edges, not so much as an ouchie on my baby-soft typist fingers. Lots and lots of screws, and more screws, and some more.

Cons: Absolutely none, well, okay, one: I want Fractal to make a case with the same front styling that fits a full size ATX motherboard.

Overall Review: I installed 2 each 3.5" hard drives vertically while leaving the front fan as-is: there are four screw holes for each hard drive (8 holes total), and eight special screws are included for mounting two hard drives. On the back of hard drives there are four tapped screw holes. Four holes, four screws, four tapped hard drive holes: is that not obvious? Some reviews (on this case and other similar cases too) stated that they were not able to figure-out how to mount a hard drive vertically. Wow. Seriously, any hard drive mounting problems will be the user's, not the case's. If a person wants to turn the hard drive to have the SATA connections pointing towards the rear, then a new thinner style hard drive will fit on the top vertical mount, but older thicker hard drives will not fit because they hit the front fan, and the bottom hard drive will not align with the holes because of the front fan's thickness. If a person absolutely must have power and data connections pointing towards the rear, then simply use the bracket's two rear holes to run two screws into the hard drive's two forward holes: no brainer. (This isn't an off-road vehicle; two screws will hold a hard drive plenty well.) This is a sweet little case; I did not find any problems like what the bad reviews claimed. Yes the metal is not as thick as 90's XT 'car ramp' cases, but still more than sturdy enough to fulfill any sane PC need. I did not so much as care to look to see if cable management was good or bad. I stuff extra cables into a DVD slot, put a wire-tie on them, and close the case: done. This is a micro case with small dimensions, which ought to be obvious that it does not have a lot of additional space devoted to empty space. Unless a person has a special need for an old DOS program or live CD or such, the absence of a reset button is rather irrelevant with modern Linux/Windows operating systems. No Atari joystick/paddle connector either! Not even an RJ11 modem jack! Surely running two wires to a reset button would be no more difficult than mounting a hard drive vertically…

Pros: Very useful for the intended use as an external ssd for transferring files. Sale price was low enough to convince me to give SP a try. Update: No pros whatsoever; the ssd is already dying.

Cons: None that I know of. Update:The 1tb ssd is now writing at around 3k at best. Fortunately it is currently letting me copy my files from it. The ssd hadn't been used more than several hours total.

Overall Review: I placed the SP 1tb ssd into an Orico USB enclosure for the purpose of transferring files in-between computers. To date, it has worked very well for my needs. Update: From my 20+ years of experience with numerous different brands of ssds and thumb drives, SP has been the utmost worst. SP is a brand that I will never ever consider again, even if it were free.

Pros: The SP 512bg ssd has worked fine for WIndows 7. The sale price was low enough to be worth the gamble of trying an ssd that I was not familiar with. Update: As of May of 2024 the ssd will no longer read nor be recognized in Windows 8.1. Apparently it is very much dead.

Cons: None that I experienced. Update: A 1tb ssd that I bought at the same time is now writing at about 3k at best, so that ssd is also now useless. I did indeed gamble, and lost.

Overall Review: I primarily bought the SP 512gb ssd for the purpose of using it to transfer files in-between computers. Just for fun, I installed Windows 7 on the ssd so that I could see how well W7 might run on an ssd; it worked fine for the few months that I toyed with W7. Update: From my 20+ years of experience with numerous different brands of ssds and thumb drives, SP has been the utmost worst. SP is a brand that I will never ever consider again, even if it were free.

Pros: Works as intended while protecting the SSD from possible desktop damage. Transfer rates appear to be fine.

Cons: None that I have experienced.

Overall Review: I use the enclosure to house a 1tb ssd for transferring files in-between computers. I normally use a USB3-SATA cable-connector to swap small ssds, but I prefer to keep the 1tb ssd in an enclosure for protection as well as to not cause wear to the SATA connectors. To date, the Orico enclosure has worked well for me.

Pros: Usually very dependable. Quite good for text, coding, and basic games.

Cons: Sometimes a mouse or keyboard will develop a flaw after several months of continuous daily use. A current estimate is that at least 90% of the keyboards and mice will still function fine after two years of 8-12 hours of daily use.

Overall Review: The MK-120 is my one and only choice for all of my computers. As a touch typist, I am familiar with the MK-120's layout, and I do not want to ever have to relearn the 'feel' of a different keyboard. The keyboards tend to continue working fine even after years of use have worn the keys smooth (millions of key strokes). The mice sometimes begin failing with double-clicks after a year or three, but sometimes the mice are still working fine even after the plastic feet have worn down so bad that the whole mouse bottom drags on the mouse pad. I keep several new MK-120s in stock for when the old ones will eventually have to be replaced.

Pros: Everything from start to finish. I am highly impressed with SAMA's quality. I was hoping to find a power supply with solid capacitors: SAMA has them! I was wanting an 80 plus gold PS; the SAMA 550 met my preferences. I need a PS for older motherboards with a single 4-pin CPU power supply. SAMA was the only PS brand viewed on NewEgg that had a photo of the 4+4 separated (the other PSes' specs said '4+4' but past experience told me to not trust written data alone). One of the top reasons of why I chose SAMA over other brands was because of the photo (and now I am glad that I did). The technical data gives a good length of information. The SAMA company's ability to explain a fair degree of technical details impressed me. The PS is packaged super well with foam and a cloth-like bag. The cables are held together with a piece of reusable Velcro instead of a rubber band or a piece of wire (now I do not have to use wire-ties or wire to bundle the cables). A company's well thought-out packaging of its products tells me that they are also mindful of how their products are constructed. The cable connectors are superbly built with fine tolerances. The SATA connectors are very snug, almost too snug, but once connected, there is no concern of an intermittent connection. The 24 pin MB connector slid in easily with a secure click (not like most PSes that require a high degree of pressure to insert, which threatens to break the MB). The SAMA 4+4 connector is so finely manufactured that it looked like a solid 8 pin.

Cons: None. The only drawback is that I use small Micro-ATX computer cases, resulting in about a quarter of the case's empty space being filled with unused cables. LOL! But that's okay, it might even help redirect some of the front panel air intake to better cool the hard drives above. ;)

Overall Review: I am highly impressed with SAMA's quality of workmanship. I was an electronic tech for over 30 years, and of the hundreds of thousands of electronic parts that I have sold and installed, none impressed me like SAMA's PS. At the time of writing this review (which took me a week to copy-paste into a NewEgge post), I had only had the PS for one day while testing it for about an hour on one PC, but after I have had the opportunity to install and test the PS on other motherboards, I would like to have at least one more SAMA PS to keep in stock for future use. I am currently pretty sure that SAMA will now be the brand that I choose for all future power supplies.

I have never given a bad review of a seller before, but Adorama Camera deserves one. I ordered a scanner that was shipped in the thin retail box without additional packaging. The box was received damaged (of course) and with the scanner banging around inside. Luckily I did not find any external damage to the scanner itself, but I will never consider buying anything from Adorama again. Any business that is so uncaring for its customers does not deserve customers.
