good case

ENERMAX Ostrog GT ECA3280A-BR Black / Red Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
ENERMAX Ostrog GT ECA3280A-BR Black / Red Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: case is nice has a lot of room, lot of places to put fans. the extra room in the back for cable management is very nice, really glad i got this case with PSU that wasn't modular.

Cons: a couple of things: the wires for the front fans, were too short, almost didn't get them to hook up on my Fatal1ty 990fx Killer (AMD) motherboard, should have extra fan headers. The installation papers didn't show what the 2 wires coming down were for but found out they were for the LED lights for the fans

Awesome fan

Pros: red LED's to go along with red motherboard and red case, moves a lot of air

Cons: none

Overall Review: didn't realize how big of a fan this really was lol

Simply Awesome!

Pros: everything is awesome on this beast! -surprisingly even with the stock cooler, idle is 15-20C, that's not watercooling...just fans

Cons: need to get an aftermarket cooler unless you have noise cancelling headphones.

Overall Review: my rig: Fatal1ty 990FX Killer amd8320 8gb crucial ballistix ram 500gb WD HDD (old HDD getting SSD soon) win7 65 bit professional cx750 PSU all in enermax ostrog gt case with 140mm case fan on bottom, and extra 200mm fan on top for exhaust

very good MOBO

ASRock ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Fatal1ty 990FX Killer AM3+/AM3 AMD 990FX + AMD SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Gaming Motherboard

Pros: love the look of the motherboard

Cons: needs more headers for fans, my Enermax Ostrog GT can support 12 fans, but there's very few spots to hook everything up I bought the CX750 PSU and the MOBO power connector, was a snug fit, maybe too snug, thought I was going to break the board getting it to be completely down and to snap the clip into place I also purchased the FX-8320 to go into it and have the stock cooler with it for now, I don't know if its the placement of the clips on the motherboard to fasten the cooler down, or the if the metal piece in the cooler was bent too much, but getting the piece over both little pieces was incredibly hard, thought I was going to break it before it was forced into place, then to fasten it down, thought it wasn't going to go either....

Good RAM

Pros: everything works so far, only a week into the build so will be playing around with OC'ing later

Cons: none at the moment
