Great card reader...not totally

Rosewill RCR-IC001 - 3.5" Internal 40-in-1 Card Reader with USB 2.0 Port & Extra Silver Face Plate

Pros: Cheap, supports over 40 cards and USB, easy to install, fits in a floppy spot.

Cons: Too simple. I mean it only had a few slots to hold MANY size cards. USB stopped working after a week. I didnt bother to RMA as I don't need the USB. AS for the SD card reader, which I use it for mainly, it is hit or miss after a year of use. Have to try it 2-3 times to get it to read.

Overall Review: Id still buy it again as it does the job and I am patient. Not patient enough to deal with a warranty though! Took of 2 eggs for the 2 Main issues.

Man that's Cold

Pros: Cheap, cools like CRAZY, not TOO hard to install. Installed in a Full Tower Case, could be hard to fit in a Mid-Tower or Smaller, check dimensions. Also need low profile RAM to fit in most cases. ITS BIG!

Cons: Not too hard to install but it was my first aftermarket cooler and it it took a couple of tries to install the brackets.

Sticky Situation

Tuniq TX-4 Extreme Performance and Exceptional Reliability Thermal Compound
Tuniq TX-4 Extreme Performance and Exceptional Reliability Thermal Compound

Pros: Applied once and done, spread well, used on an ASUS P8P67 Deluxe Board, with an i5-2500k. OC to near 5Ghz. Stays under 70 Deg F under HEAVY load

Cons: VERY thick and Sticky

Overall Review: Buy it, won't regret it.

Great Case - Bad Thumb Screws

Rosewill THOR V2 ATX Full Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Supports: E-ATX & XL-ATX, 4 Dual-Speed Fans, 10 Expansion Slots
Rosewill THOR V2 ATX Full Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Supports: E-ATX & XL-ATX, 4 Dual-Speed Fans, 10 Expansion Slots

Pros: HUGE - INSANELY HUGE. I measured the specs and thought I knew how bug this was but wow, it is massive - in a good way. My i5-2500k OC's @ 4.3Ghz with Hyper 212 Evo stays around 25-32 C. Air flow is amazing and wow is it quiet, those huge fans move slowly but push air like a boss. Not a fan of the red LED's, but I will be switching them out in the future for blue.

Cons: Thumbscrews, cable management grommets. Thumb screws were all cross threaded and one had jagged & sharp edges on the head, I didn't take an egg since its minor but a HUGE hassle. The grommets almost fall right out but a drop of high temp glue fixed the problem quickly. Side note, 2.5 in external drive bay door cannot be moved from bottom row unless you trim out another door cover to fit into slots, easy trim with cutters but, a hassle.

Overall Review: Overall super happy with purchase, is certainly a conversation piece when people walk into living room and see this massive batman looking box in the corner. Would purchase again, will contact company about thumb screws. Rig: Thor V2 Case Asus P8P67 Deluxe 8GB Vengeance Ram MSI GTX 560 Ti 448Core i5-2500k OC'd 4.3Ghz 160GB Boot CB 1TB Data CB
