Very good case!
Pros: -Very solid chassis even with a big hole behind the motherboard. -Gorgeous window -Psu air filter well designed -Looks fantastic! -Has a lot of hole for Ty-Rap -Nice SSD tool-less system
Cons: -Front and top filter let dust enter into this case... -Adding an 1/2 inch behind the mobo would help because there's not a lot of place for cable management. -Front panel is fragile. It came with a pin broken.
Ok when it's working
Pros: -Good speed with my AC wifi over usb 3.0 -...that's it... -Come with an extender... that's USB 2.0...
Cons: -Driver on Windows 7 64 bits are crap: I need to restart my computer each time I want to change network because this wifi dongle isn't activate in the network card page... not clever for a laptop. -Big... I open the plastic body to have an thinner card so I can use my other usb 3.0 port that's under the one I'm using for it.
Perfect enclosure!
Pros: -well build -same size as a 3,5" hdd -hdd/sdd stays in place firmly with or without screws
Cons: Maybe it could be aluminium, but at this price, this type of plastic is very solid.
Overall Review: I have a 3,5" to 5.25" hot swap system from startech and I purchased a simple bracket from Kingston but it was just to enlarge the hdd and it didn't make it longer. The problem is that the door is pushing on the 3,5" hdd for engaging the SATA connector that's on a spring and the disk pops out when you open it. It wasn't working with that bracket so I bought this enclosure and it's just perfect in term of size!
Just the best SATA SSD out there!
Pros: -Amazingly fast (The SATA interface is the bottleneck) -Solid construction -Samsung Magician is great
Cons: -Maybe price for gb, but it's not a problem...
Overall Review: It's my third 850 Evo 250 gb and I'm not disappointed yet! This SSD is powering my mother's Vaio and it's the perfect upgrade!
Good 500w PSU
Pros: I purchased this PSU because there's not a lot kf 500w PSUs that are semi-modular. It's powering my i7-4770, an Asus Gtx 970 strix, 2x Samsung 850 Evo, 2x Wd Black and 1x wd green without any problems! It's not fully modular but this is perfect because who doesn't need the 24 pins...
Cons: Having 2x(6+2) pci connector isn't a problem because this PSU isn't for Sli or Crossfire but I would replace 1 molex cable by a Sata power cable because Having only 5 sata connectors isn't enough today for me. (I need to use a splitter...) The Pci power connector that plugs in the psu isn't a regular connector like Corsair so having CableMod cables won't fit here it will be a extension.
Pretty good for the money!
Pros: -Runs my i7-4770 very cool. Full load at 40 degrees and ambiant temp at 22 degrees. -Cool design of the waterblock. -Tubing looks more solid than the H55. -Not as thick as the H80i
Cons: -Pump a little bit noisy -Fan is loud at full throttle (not major considering this AIO is very effective even when the fan is spinning at 200 rpm)
