Perfect So Far

CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750 W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750 W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: -Modular (I only used about half the cables, so I like that I dont have to have all that mess in my case, but I have the option to expand further if needed) -Easy to install -Long cables (I just recently bought a huge full tower case, 10 expansion, ex large atx, the works, large cables were a must) -750W (plenty of power for a modern system, now that stuff is getting greener, why buy a 1000 to 1200 W PSU?)

Cons: -The cable ends seemed kind of cheap, and I had trouble plugging the sata power connectors, but they went in and work. (no eggs off yet) -At bootup the fan revs all the way up to max rpm, but once the systems running I don't hear it, I'll have to do some gaming to see how it does. (no eggs off yet)

Overall Review: I recommend this to anyone, I did think the bag and case that the cables and PSU were in after I took it out of the box is extremely unnecessary. Makes me think how much they could have cut off the price w/o those pointless accessories.

Inexpensive, HDMI, 3D, surround sound

Pros: 1. Easy to use, on screen gui (ports its options menu to the tv) which makes navigating it much much more easier so you don't have to have a million buttons the remote. 2. Excellent preprogrammed surround sound programs for music, tv, movies, and games. 3. 4 hdmi 3D ready ports, which is all I need. 4. Easy to set up from box to use.

Cons: 1. One of the only cons I have is that a big reason I bought it is for the ipod iphone integration. Now my iphone still works and it reads it as an iphone and I can listen to my music. But the on screen menu for it no longer works since ios7........not that it worked that great before anyways.

Overall Review: Great budget entertainment system. I got it on sale and plus I had a promo so I got a really excellent deal for it.

HUGE CASE

Rosewill THOR V2 ATX Full Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Supports: E-ATX & XL-ATX, 4 Dual-Speed Fans, 10 Expansion Slots
Rosewill THOR V2 ATX Full Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Supports: E-ATX & XL-ATX, 4 Dual-Speed Fans, 10 Expansion Slots

Pros: 1. A lot of cooling options. 2. 6 internal, 6 ext expansion bays :D 3. TALL! The front panel is like right next to me so I don't have to reach down to power it on. 4. Like the top fins that can be opened to allow heat to escape. But can be closed so I can put stuff on top. 5. Cable management system. 6. Has support for water cooling systems. 7. Did I mention that the case is huge? Yeah, its huge. 8. Dust filters on outside, does collect dust on inside (of course) but its not nearly as much as my old case. 9. Frame appears to be fairly sturdy. Maybe could support my weight, I wouldn't sit on it though, plastic piece on top will surely break ;) 10. Wont ever have to worry about VGA card size :)

Cons: 1. Don't like the feel of the fan controller knobs, also I don't think its delivering max power to the fans. But those 230 mm fans push a lot of air. 2. Sometime some months ago I pressed the power button too hard and a plastic clip that forces it against the cover broke, so the power button is a little easier to press, but still has resistance (is this a con?), and it makes a click sound when pressed. 3. The side leds that were always on went out a few months ago, the HDD leds still work though. I plan on removing all the LEDs on the front-top panel and replacing them with blue ones anyways, orange doesn't really match my setup. 4. The reset button, I used to be able to press on my old case to quickly put my computer to sleep, but now it has to be pressed with a pin, I plan on modifying that though so its more practical.

Overall Review: This case is definitely worth it, despite the few things that broken, I am satisfied. I can easily repair leds and broken plastic pieces. You will not get better for a little over 100 dollars. I was amazed at the size for 100 dollars.
