Could have been a 5 star case

FSP ATX Mid Tower PC Computer Gaming Case with 2 Translucent Tempered Glass Panels with 4 Addressable RGB Fans (CMT340)

Pros: RGB Fans are great with plenty of different settings. When cable managed, with the tempered glass panel, it does look beautiful.

Cons: Had to really cram my power supply into the bay, almost didn't fit. Basically crunched all PSU cables coming out of the back of it. For me, maybe not for others, the SSD slots that sit above the PSU were too close to the motherboard. Had to bend the sata and power supply cables pretty good to make it work. But the most annoying thing.... a sticker... the most annoying stickiest of stickers was on the tempered glass window, to tell you that its, well, tempered glass. With warm water, a cloth, and patience, still scratched the glass trying to get it off. Why they couldn't put it on the removable film over the glass is beyond me.

Overall Review: Overall, it is a good case and it looks and functions as advertised. For the price, its a pretty good deal.

Not sure about this yet...

APEVIA ATX-CB700W 700 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply

Pros: It works.... for now. (Read Cons) It seems pretty quiet, I guess I didn't get one with the "Coil Whine" everyone talking about.

Cons: Upon arrival, I instantly noticed something rolling around in the PSU. It turned out to be a 1k resistor that fell out of the power supply. I was tempted to instantly send this back. The resistor looked brand new like it had never even been attempted to be set on a circut board. I plugged it into my computer anyway, and to my surprise ...It actually worked! But for how long? What is the missing resistors purpose? Is it only going to take one power surge to fry my motherboard? I'm currently testing this PSU's ability to keep up for hours with load before I call it good.
