Most Favorable Review

Bigger than Advertised

Thermaltake M9 VI1000BWS Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Thermaltake M9 VI1000BWS Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Great size for a mid tower. Looks sharp. Fits my 260 no problem (even without moving HD cage).

Cons: Expansion panels snap off to open up but do not screw back on so be careful.

Most Critical Review

Terrible RMA

PC Power and Cooling S75CF 750 W EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
PC Power and Cooling S75CF 750 W EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Looks sharp (red in case with clear side panel) Works fine after RMA (see below). Others with better PSU knowledge will be able to attest to performance/architecture details.

Cons: Dead on arrival (I couldn't validate this until AFTER sending in rebate since I hadn't ordered all other pieces for my build. RMA'd to PC Power. They had it for 2 weeks before shipping back. I asked why and they said their inventory system was down so they couldn't ship. I asked for a new power supply instead of a repair and they said no. So essentially I paid top dollar for a top brand and ended up having to wait 2 weeks for a refurb. For being one of the industry leaders (both in quality but also in price) I would have expected better customer service. Reputation for quality is all that keeps this from getting 1 egg.

What I expected

GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Cheap, incredibly easy to setup (my first build)

Cons: Small, not a lot of expansion, not free.

Overall Review: Exactly what I expected. Cheap, works, not a lot of options.

Same game, minor improvements
