Fussy

GWC AD3300 Serial ATA to IDE Converter  (Serial ATA Port to IDE Device), SATA to IDE Converter/Adapter
GWC AD3300 Serial ATA to IDE Converter (Serial ATA Port to IDE Device), SATA to IDE Converter/Adapter

Pros: Does the job once set up properly. The issue with it not being able to be recognized in the BIOS was solved by making sure the device was getting power, AND THEN plugging in the power to the adapter.

Cons: Invest in some migraine medication, it will test your nerves. Jumper settings aren't as confusing following directions and getting nothing for the effort.

Most Critical Review

Looks aren't Everything

MASSCOOL UHB-358B Aluminum 3.5" IDE / SATA USB 2.0 External Enclosure
MASSCOOL UHB-358B Aluminum 3.5" IDE / SATA USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: Purchased of the price and because it matched the rest of my equipment. Easily set up and use right out the box.

Cons: The Molex plug for the IDE drive was frayed and required repair. The case itself is flimsy with I had to remove both the front and back panel to fit the drive in the case, after which I was not able to reattach again.The internal connections require a lot of coaxing to fit.

Overall Review: Looks don't make up for the flaws in the design. It was useful for it's board and connection. It serves best as a case dedicated to one drive. I worry too much manipulation would damage a drive.

CORSAIR iCUE H100i ELITE LCD Display Liquid CPU Cooler
CORSAIR iCUE H100i ELITE LCD Display Liquid CPU Cooler

Pros: Lots of useful info can be displayed on the LCD Bright display, illuminates a build very well Command core with all the fan support

Cons: Corsair gives sparse instruction in its manuals on and off line. Most of the info I got about assembly, installation and compatibility, I found out by researching online with 3rd parties

Overall Review: Aside from keeping things cool, the LCD looks great with my other iCue devices. The command core it comes with saved me from trying to install all the fans to the board, but no where could I find info about what fans are compatible in the book. First installed only the fans on the radiator lit up, but after switching things, the radiator fans don't light, but the ones in the top of the case do. One of my fans, I discovered, was wholly incompatible.

Very Pleased

Pros: Unpacked and found this pretty easy to run out the box. Played around and got to the ePrint options to customize and share on the home network, then dove right in a printed 20 page document.

Cons: Wasted sometime installing CD when I didn't have to.

Pleasant Surprise

COOLMAX CL-700B 700W ATX 12V v2.2 Compatible with Core i3/i5/i7 Power Supply
COOLMAX CL-700B 700W ATX 12V v2.2 Compatible with Core i3/i5/i7 Power Supply

Pros: Had this around in a low-end WIP build for my brother, when my own 550W power supply died. Swapped it out for this. Never did I want for connectors. For the price, it performs better than expected. I will be definitely be getting another one for my brother's rig.

Cons: A little to loud, but it has a nice hum I can take.

Overall Review: The cool lighting only helps.

Love it.

Pros: Had no issue with installation thanks to the Q-connectors. Looks very nice in a case and has a nearly intuitive layout.

Cons: Board is a little cramped in the front by the drive bays.

Overall Review: The drivers are so-so.
