Wonderful Case!

Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: I personally love the Centurion 5 Case, its sturdy (not flimsy like many cheap under $40 cases) and no screws needed. The system is staying cool and with 3 hard drives, a powerful video card, and everything else I'm happy with it. Good buy!

Cons: The only con I have is that the clips for the PCI slots don't hold a video card very well. So I just put in a screw and it was done.

Overall Review: This case is not too flashy and looks great either in the office or at home. I bring my case in to work now and then and it really looks good in the office.

Unexpectedly Bad

HP S700 2.5" 500GB SATA III 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 2DP99AA#ABC
HP S700 2.5" 500GB SATA III 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 2DP99AA#ABC

Pros: Relatively inexpensive SSD with respectable speeds. Performs decently as a game drive.

Cons: Serious write/copy speed issues. For example. When downloading or transferring files to or from the drive it will go from a few KB/s to 37 MB/s. Constantly up and down. If you need a drive that relies on speed, this is not the SSD for you.

Overall Review: Do not buy this drive. Stick with Samsung or another SSD company that has proven to have reliable products.

Great MB!

MSI B350M MORTAR AM4 AMD B350 USB 3.1 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI B350M MORTAR AM4 AMD B350 USB 3.1 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Works like a champ. MSI keeps drivers up-to-date.

Cons: When I bought this MB I also bought the AMD Ryzen 5 2600x which MSI says was supported. The only problem, I didn't have an older CPU to drop on to update the Bios. Had to RMA the board, took a month to get back before I could use.

Overall Review: Outside of the RMA this board is fantastic.

Fast!

Pros: Adjustable RGB Fan Lighting. plenty of cable management to allow for optimal air flow. Nice looking case. Quiet fans.

Cons: Due to the location of the PSU and the design of the case, handling PSU changes and needs can be bothersome.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for. Worth it.
