Going strong after 8 months

Pros: I've had this for over 8 months now and it's great. It reads, writes, and isn't overly noisy. For this price there is really no reason to buy anything else

Cons: none.

Overall Review: it's oem so don't expect a box or instructions, but I think that's pretty obvious

Great for the price

Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid-Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Expansion Ready: Internal 3.5" Bays & External 5.25" Bays, 3 Pre-installed Fans with Side Fan Mount Option

Pros: Plenty of space inside, comes with decent fans, and looks really sexy. This case is a great value. Really easy to clean too. With a couple couple bursts of compressed air and this thing looks like new again. I barely used the cable management because I'm too lazy but it's not the worst I've seen.

Cons: The plastic (basically anything exterior that's shiny in the picture) looks and feels cheap when you're close enough. It doesn't look bad though because it's styled but I can definitely see some people snap or scratch it. The biggest problem with this was that the front microphone port broke the first time I used it. As I plugged something in the computer detected it but then said that it was unplugged and now it feels very loose and nothing works on it. All the other ports work fine though, but I am gonna go ahead and be careful with the front headphone jack. Finally, make sure you take measurements of whatever you're planning on installing and give it some room for error. I installed a water cooler and it barely fit. It's so close that we might have bent the plate slightly when closing it.

Overall Review: It comes with fans, has a bottom mounted psu space, and has a esata port in the front.

Good

Pros: Tiny drive but plenty of space. Write speeds are decent, definitely not the slowest I have but this sure isn't a USB 3.0 flash. I haven't had any errors or hangups with it so far and I've been using it heavy for the last couple of days.

Cons: Didn't come with lannyard but I knew that before I bought it. The main reason I took an egg off is because the little red holder that it swivels into came off as I tried to plug it in yesterday. Not a big deal because it's just looks but I can imagine someone losing it if it's on their key chain or something.

Overall Review: Only 28.8 GB of usable space. Usually for 32 GB sticks it's closer to 30.

Decent LED Fan

Pros: Pushes air fairly well, fairly silent, and looks much nicer than some of the others. Biggest pro is how cheap it is! For this price, this is a good LED fan.

Cons: None really except small things like the blue is slightly different than the rest of my system but not noticeable unless you're really paying attention.

Overall Review: Have yet to receive rebate from it but even without the rebate this is a decent fan. With rebate this will be a steal.
