Most Favorable Review

Great Case! (And I really, really loved my White Corsair Air240!!!)

LIAN LI O11DMINI SNOW WHITE - White SECC / Aluminum /Tempered Glass/ ATX, Mirco ATX , Mini itx Mini Tower Computer Case - O11D MINI -S

Pros: Since I got it last week, I've been admiring the quality of the build. Very easy to put together and 'modify to fit' components. Looks great...almost wants me to turn it into a 'p**p-mobile' with a lot of fancy RGB thingies, but I will stick to white - it is a Snow case - and stick to white LED lighting if I need any at all. Very impressed with this case!

Cons: None so far. I don't know WHO wrote the little (pretty poor) manual. (But it's all there if you dig a bit...just could be clearer. IMHO if you write for the English, the French, the Germans, the Japanese and some flavor of Chinese, it just doesn't serve any of us particularly well!) Oh, and ya gotta dig a bit in the baggies to determine which screws fit where and which go in what holes!

Overall Review: I still truly love my Corsair Air 240. It started with an ASUS MB and an Intel 5-4440 in Jan 2017, then was upgraded to a Gigabyte B450M with a Ryzen 5-2600, and an MSI GTX 1660 just barely fit inside! Now with an upgraded Ryzen 5-5600X and an ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus, AND a RX 6700 XT, I had t let the (lovely) Corsair box go. This new Lian Li 011D Mini is barely bigger on outside dimensions, but it is HUGE inside! Still am with mATX form factor...good enough for me. The Corsair will stay in the family, but the new Lian Li will soon be sitting behind my desk.

Most Critical Review

Canon does not support Win 8

Canon SELPHY CP910 Wireless Compact Photo Printer, Black
Canon SELPHY CP910 Wireless Compact Photo Printer, Black

Pros: Best dedicated printer I've ever owned. Have a CP900 and before had one that got fried in a thunderstorm, now with a new PC running Windows 8.1 I find out Canon is not supporting beyond Win 7!

Cons: Don't buy this unless you are a Win 7 or XP kinda guy or gal!

Overall Review: Been using Selphy as a dedicated 4x6 snapshot printer for years and now it's a brick. Thanks a lot, Canon. LAST Canon product I'll ever buy.

Pretty poor - ended taking these out

PSU Sleeved Cable, 18AWG Braided ATX EPS PCI-E Power Supply Cable Extension Kit with Combs for CPU GPU MB PSU, 30CM (White)

Pros: Thought they would look good and fit to my SFX power supply and then connect to MB, GPU, etc. Priced seemed fair, but I really bought these just for the looks.

Cons: Thought they would look good and fit to my SFX power supply and then connect to MB, GPU, etc. and, though they looked fine, they had to connect to the SFX power supplies cables first, and it was a TOTAL MESS in the cabling areas of the Lian-Li case! DID NOT WORK! AT ALL! Removed them, and they are still in a box in my attic with the rest of the unsued stuff and ditritus form last summer's PC build..

Overall Review: Could not recommend.

Cool looking memory for a new build last June/July 2021

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 DRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMW32GX4M4C3200C16W
CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (4 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 DRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model CMW32GX4M4C3200C16W

Pros: Looks cool. Color goes with Lian-Li build. Fast enough...wanted 4 sticks of 3600 RAM 8GB, but all I could get in white was the 3200 kit.

Cons: Price was OK - not the cheapest for what I got. Fast enough...wanted 4 sticks of 3600 RAM 8GB, but all I could get in white was the 3200 kit.

Overall Review: Works. Been working fine for a year now. Would buy again, though still would want 3600.

Nice new box that fits

Corsair Carbide Series Air 240 (CC-9011069-WW) Arctic White Steel Micro ATX Mid Tower Air 240 High Airflow MicroATX and Mini-ITX PC Case ATX (not included) Power Supply

Pros: Nice looking Easy build Fits under corner of my faux Victorian desk (replaces X-QPack2)!!! Lotsa room inside (Did I say I think white looks cool?)

Cons: Not much I could think of. Decided during the build that white fans would look cool, so I bought 2 pairs of white Enermax Vegas fans, then had to buy a couple of PWM to dual PWM splitters (white cables of course), but that's not really a Con.

Overall Review: Very glad to get this case with a $20 rebate that came in 2 months after purchase/submission with no issue. Thanks, Corsair.

ENERMAX T.B.VEGAS SINGLE UCTVS12P-W PWM 120mm White LED Case Fan w/ APS control

Pros: Price, looks, quiet, PWM control (though I had to get two spitters for my mobo)

Cons: Can't think of any, did I say the rubber gummiflatchers....?

Overall Review: Was building a new PC in a white Corsair Air 240 case and saw these, and thought - why not? Price was half price...well, a pack of two TB Vegas fans was 1/2 price and so I bought 4 total (for price of 2). White fans with white LEDs look nice...did not care about the rubber gummiflatchers to mount them. I just used the screws that came with the black Corsair fans that came with the case. (Now all I have to do is divest myself of the original 2 Corsair fans.) Nothing technical here - I just went for the looks.
