Most Favorable Review

Low cost makes it worth it

APEVIA ATX-AS680W-BL 680 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready Power Supply
APEVIA ATX-AS680W-BL 680 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready Power Supply

Pros: Works great. Fairly quiet. Never had a problem with it in over a year of ownership. Plenty of cables or all your needs.

Cons: If you're looking for cable management, this isn't the power supply for you. I've got extra cables that I don't use just hanging around. I will be upgrading to a modular power supply out of personal preference.

Overall Review: If you'll be using plenty of cables for various SATA or PCIe devices, then this PSU is great. If not, then you'll have extra cables that you don't need. I suggest a modular power supply if you don't plan on using every cable that this PSU comes with.

Most Critical Review

Doesn't completely freeze like most reviews say, but does lag

ASUS 15.6" FHD F550VX-NH76 Intel Core i7 6700HQ (2.60 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M 8 GB Memory 128 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop - "ONLY @ NEWEGG"

Pros: Boots up quickly Really quiet unless you're playing a game - even then, the fan isn't too terribly loud Beautiful display

Cons: There's gotta be something wrong with the network adapter. Other reviewers say they have had trouble with the laptop freezing. My problem is connection issues. I tried playing Diablo III and my game kept lagging and/or booting me from the server. It won't even stream Youtube videos without having to stop and buffer. I compared to my desktop PC to ensure it wasn't my modem or router and everything ran perfectly fine, so it wasn't my connection. This laptop simply can't hold a simple Wi-Fi connection.

Overall Review: Would not recommend if you're trying to do anything online.

Great case for the price

Pros: Plenty of interior room provides good airflow and cable management.

Cons: The front cover is made of cheap plastic. The plastic surrounding the front panel USB ports broke into equal halves. Anything I plug in there will still hold, but wiggles around more than I'm comfortable with. Also, the second time I went to dust out the interior of the case and removed the dust filter on the front, a couple of the flimsy metal pieces holding in the dust filter on the front completely snapped off.

Overall Review: The flimsiness of the plastic on the front cover of the case is pretty easy to deal with, but I have to take off one star for it. Other than that, the case is a great buy.
