Great Case

Thermaltake Overseer RX-I VN700M1W2N Black SECC ATX Full Tower Computer Case Standard PS2 PSU Power Supply
Thermaltake Overseer RX-I VN700M1W2N Black SECC ATX Full Tower Computer Case Standard PS2 PSU Power Supply

Pros: I got one of these cases for a new build and love it (didn't buy at Newegg though, sorry guys) Great Case, lots of room. Great air movement, stays nice and cool, plus the vents all have mesh filters. Great cable management ability. If you want a cool looking build, this case will look great with your components installed!

Cons: None really, it's a big case, so don't expect to be able to hide it under a desk.

Overall Review: I noticed a couple of reviews had cons that to me seemed a little silly. One said molex connectors were bad, mine were fine. Sometimes with molex you have to wiggle and make sure the connectors are lined up well before you start pushing on them. Someone else said the fans were weak, they're 200mm fans, they don't have to spin at 1800 rpm to move a lot of air. I got two more 200mm blue led fans, moved the one up front on top with the other, and installed one Coolermaster 200mm on the front and one on the side. Someone said the fans wouldn't work with a fan controller???? I have the fans hooked up to a NZXT Mesh controller and it works great, so I'm not sure what's up with that.

Pros: Great value. Installed no problems, was recognized immediately and I noticed the increased performance right away. Running on an ASUS Sabertooth P67, overclocked Intel I7-2600K. Was running 16GB of Corsair Vengeance prior to this upgrade to 32GB. Hard to beat G.Skill for price and quality.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: If you want good memory at a nice price, this is it

Great Memory

Pros: Great Memory, over the years I've never had a problem with Corsair, never dead, always good quality memory. Hard to beat for the price!

Cons: None

Great Fans

Pros: BIG! Move lots of air, and quieter than I thought they would be. Read some reviews and wondered if they might be a litle loud but not so, nice and quiet. Pretty blue light, oooooh!

Cons: None really, big, so don't buy them and expect to put them in a smaller case. Might not fit!

Overall Review: Got two of these for a Thermaltake Overseer case. They fit fine in front and on side. Might fit on top, but it would be really tight. Moved the front fan that came with case on top since it was made to fit there better.

Super easy

Pros: Works great, set up was easy, plug and play. System detected and was up and running in a couple of minutes.

Cons: A little noisy, but not really a con. Hey your installing an old IDE drive, of course it's noisy. The thing is on your desk instead of inside your computer case, duh. Not deducting any eggs for that.

Overall Review: If you've got an old drive laying around, this is perfect for some extra storage.

Great wireless

Pros: Nice! Took about 5 minutes to set up. Works great, strong signal. It detected networks all over my apartment complex that my laptop wi-fi never detected. Fast, and so far reliable connection. The remote stand is handy, lets the antenna sit on the desk instead of sticking out the back of the computer.

Cons: If there is a con, the cord for the remote stand could be a bit longer.

Overall Review: For the price, you can't beat it.
