Most Favorable Review

Long ship time, but good fans!

Scythe Kaze Flex PWM, Premium Quiet RGB Slim Fan, 4-Pin, 1800RPM, No Controller Included, Single Pack (120x15mm, RGB LED)
Scythe Kaze Flex PWM, Premium Quiet RGB Slim Fan, 4-Pin, 1800RPM, No Controller Included, Single Pack (120x15mm, RGB LED)

Pros: The fan(s) come in nice packaging that includes a 2-3in PWM extension. The fans RGB cable has a pigtail to allow daisy chaining fans to a single motherboard header. Slim profile, but do move a good amount of air without adding much noise. Anti-Vibration pads are soft and not hard. Fluid dynamic bearings, so good quality fans. Scythe have gotten good to really good reviews when compared to other fans.

Cons: Long ship time! I almost feel like in this day & age if you're operating online....you need to be quick with the shipping. I am usually not picky, but this was too long. I had a different pair of Scythe fans I returned cause it took forever to even have them shipped out..... Another thing I noticed, but the sleeving at the ends just slide up the wires....almost like they weren't heat shrinked very well?

Overall Review: Overall, these are nice fans.....especially if you got them at sale price + the $5 newegg gift card. They are of good build quality, quite, and move a good amount of air. Remember the fans are RGB, not ARGB, so you will not be able to get the fancy patterns like ARGB can provide. The RGB on these fans are good and not blindingly bright. I would recommend when they are on sale, or for a cheaper alternative to ARGB fans, but much better quality than the cheap/budget ARGB fans.

It Died

Linksys WRT54GL 802.11b/g Wireless Broadband Router up to 54 Mbps/ Compatible with Open Source DD-WRT (not pre-load)

Pros: Easy setup. Did its job both wired and wireless.

Cons: None really I think.

Overall Review: Well, I bought this router approximately 2 to 2 1/2 years ago from Newegg and it finally crashed and burned (not literally). Router wouldn't connect...Power light flashed constantly and ports 1-4 remained lit with no equipment connected. Suffice to say, I believe this router was a very easy one to setup, performed well, but after the 2 year mark it wouldn't save any changes I made to it. Then, it died another 3-6 months afterward. Wondering what I should buy now under $100.00, or go with another...hmmm.

APEVIA X-Dreamer II ATXB4KLW-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 420W Power Supply
APEVIA X-Dreamer II ATXB4KLW-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 420W Power Supply

Pros: * Decent construction. * Was a really cool case at the time. * Fan Grilles * Fans * LEDS

Cons: * The front LEDS are quite bright, not good for someone that keeps the computer on in there room, or likes to watch DVD's at night. * The break out tabs for video cards, etc. are not reusable. * I had to jimmy the front optical drive flap alittle, but nothing someone with half a brain couldnt adjust/fix.

Overall Review: For the price, there are probably better options around the same price, but for the cool looks and decent build quality it is a winner. I have had this case for 4+ years and nothing has failed, or broken, yet.
