Pleasantly surprised

iStarUSA D-416 Black Material of Front Bezel : Aluminum Material of Handle: Aluminum Material of Main Chassis: Galvanized Steel 4U Rackmount Compact Stylish Chassis 6 External 5.25" Drive Bays

Pros: I was surprised how heavy and sturdy this case is for the ~$80 pricetag. As mentioned in a previous review, the case varies slightly from the pictures on Newegg, in that there are two internal fan brackets, not three. If you check out the iStarUSA site they have the photos of what the current case looks like inside. Also true you have to remove the entire cage to mount your drives. For me this is not an issue. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the case for the price. Even the packaging was good enough to withstand a ground shipment without any damage since Newegg just put a shipping label on the box. Very pleased with this purchase.

Cons: None

work great except for the fan!

Antec MX-1 SATA USB2.0 & eSATA External Enclosure
Antec MX-1 SATA USB2.0 & eSATA External Enclosure

Pros: great external case for backups, storage, etc.

Cons: I have bought 8 of these since they have existed and have had fans go out totally in four of them...they get noisy and then just fail...for those I have installed 2.5 drives or ssd drives that require less cooling and unplug the fans...otherwise they work well....Antec needs to improve the fans in my opinion...

plug and play, works great

Pros: Just plugged it into the board, fired up the PC and it worked on Windows 10. Throughput is good, no issues so far.

Cons: None

own two, bad ports on both

ZyXEL GS1100-16 Unmanaged 16 Port Unmanaged Gigabit Rackmount Switch

Pros: No issues with ports that work.

Cons: Some ports do not function.

Overall Review: Purchased two of these about a month apart. I have experienced issues with both where I plug a device into one and get no connection, then chose another port and the device works fine. Oddly, the ports that do not function on both units are on the right half. We will see how reliable the device remains overall. One purchases a device with 16 ports expecting all 16 to work, and this does not appear to be the case with this model, which is very unfortunate. No issues with the ports that work. I have not had issues with other ZyXEL products in the past.

Good value for the price

Rosewill RANGER-M Dual-Fan Micro ATX Mini Tower Gaming Computer Case with Blue LED Lighting

Pros: Picked this up for $24.99 and free shipping. Case was shipped in its own box (no double box) and arrived perfect. Rosewill packages it in styrofoam and even has the wrap on the front panel so it doesn't get scratched. All hardware was present. This is a very lightweight case and it holds all of my components just fine. I was looking for a budget case specific to this size and it fits the bill perfectly.

Cons: none.
