Decent PSU

Tuniq Ripper PSU-RIP1000W-BK 1000 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Long enough cables to fit all my connections in a Xaser III full tower. Performance is on par with specified norms, and the fan is very quiet with little heat.

Cons: Perhaps the fact that the company lists it as a modular PSU, when infact it is not. However this is not an epic issue.

Overall Review: Was designed to be used with a new MSi P45 Plat, HD 4870 x2, 3.16 Wolfdale + 2GB of dominator DDR2 on a 150 WD raptor. However, due to bent pins the mobo would not POST. At any rate, its powering my old system just fine.. if not a bit overkill for a K8N Neo based system.

Pros: Attractive look Cheap

Cons: EL light is way to dim. LED lights are too bright.. The keys are not as sensitive for gameing as I had hoped, but its workable.

Overall Review: It works... but the glow from this webpage almost drowns out the EL light.

High Quality Fan \o/

Rosewill RFA-80RL - 120mm CULLINAN Computer Case Cooling Fan with LP4 Adapter - Semi-Transparent Frame & Red LED Lights, Sleeve Bearing, Silent

Pros: LEDs are bright, but not too bright. Moves a decent amount of air at max speed.

Cons: Case screws did not seem to want to fit... You might be able to just kinda jam them in there... but that's never wise now is it?

Overall Review: With x6 units operating at max speed, they are almost to the point where its too loud, but its very tolerable with gameing or other things going on. Can't really beat these prices though for what your getting!

Bent Pins ;x

Pros: Great new mobo smell! Def <3 the LED lights and status indicators.

Cons: x2 Bent pins on arrivial, system refused to POST & no video signal.

Overall Review: Hopefully the next one will be intact... It's a shame people don't perform visual inspections of these pins prior to them being packaged... No fault of NewEgg though <3 I have faith in MSi, and will not let this tarnish their perfect record i've had with the K8N Neo. Hopefully my new one will be in perfect condition..

Comments: This case is pretty nice. My only problem with it is that you cant put a Exos on top because of the USB and Fan vent. Other then that, its a uber case with a awesome airflow system. My system temp never rises over 95. And 2 the guy that was talking about the toolless PCI slot thing, just take it out man.
