Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless 7.1 Gaming headset
Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless 7.1 Gaming headset

Pros: Plug and play is simple. Software is simple to use and plenty of features. I gets that full theater sound without annoying everyone around you.

Cons: Biggest problem with these is when the bass hits all sound is softened. Its like the bass is requiring more power than the headset can supply.

Cheap Build

Thermaltake Versa N27 Red LED Fan Edition Black ATX Gaming Mid Tower Computer Case CA-1H6-00M1WN-02
Thermaltake Versa N27 Red LED Fan Edition Black ATX Gaming Mid Tower Computer Case CA-1H6-00M1WN-02

Pros: Has space and the features you would need for most builds. Had no shipping damage and all parts were in good condition. Fans look good and work well.

Cons: This case feels like a cheap made in china case. I've bought cases in the same price range that were more solid than this. The side panel is plexiglass. The cover panel thumbscrews are plastic and the back panel screws are different from the front panel screws. I'm sure they could've engineered more commonality. The tool-less hard drive holders are flimsy and only have small nubs to lock in the screw holes of a 3.5" HDD.

Overall Review: There is a smokey lamination than can be peeled off on both sides of the plexiglass. More tool-less features would be nice such as thumbscrews for expansion slots. You can install a CD/DVD drive, but you'll have to take the front bezel off to use it. Which might only be to install the drivers on first boot and then you'll never see it again. A radiator installed in the top of the case will be venting air through some vents on the sides of the top. The actual top is fully covered with the same smokey plexiglass.

Nice ideas, but ... Eh

COUGAR Evolution Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Dual 12cm COUGAR TURBINE HYPER-SPIN Bearing Silent Fans, 2 x USB 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0

Pros: -I did very much like the easy of disassembling it down to its bare minimums. The top panel came off with ease, just mind the plastic clips underneath. -I was easily able to remove the usb ports (explained later). -Though I haven't really used them, the filter screens seem like a nice design. There is a quick removable screen underneath the power supply for easy cleaning. -It's feet stand it up off of the ground to allow more airflow to the PSU.

Cons: -plastic is very brittle and flexible. When I took the front panel off, I very much disliked the bend-ability of it. - the hard drive trays seemed very low quality. Perhaps instead of using a tray, just attaching individual brackets for to the sides of the hard drives would be more efficient. -Only has 2 fans equipped. Though I knew this, and "was" planning on water cooling anyways, but most of the other cases I've seen usually come with at least one for the top. -Water cooling, I would imagine, being alright. There seems to be decent space for the radiators, pumps and reservoirs but the rear panel holes are rather small and don't have the rubber protection ring. Instead they're covered with pop-out metal plates.

Overall Review: I decided not to use this case for my upgrade and instead pulled out the USB 3.0 ports and put them into my old cooler master storm case. It's much better quality and just as large even for being a mid-tower as well as being close to the same price.
