Coboc CY-CAT6-25-WH 25ft. 24AWG Snagless Cat 6 White Color 550MHz UTP Ethernet Stranded Copper Patch cord /Molded Network lan Cable

Pros: It's the color I ordered and works properly.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I haven't tried it in an application where CAT6 would matter, but works and it was cheap for this length cable.

Most Critical Review

Good - But have to unplug it everytime I start my computer

BELKIN F5D9050 Wireless G Plus MIMO Network Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
BELKIN F5D9050 Wireless G Plus MIMO Network Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: Provides a much faster and consistent connection than the DLink PCI card I was using

Cons: I'm not sure if there is a driver conflict on my machine, but every time I turn on the computer, I have to unplug and then plug the adapter back in for the computer to recognize the adapter. When I downloaded the updated driver from Belkin's website, it didn't work at all. This is rather annoying.

Overall Review: If I didn't have to unplug it every time I turn on the computer, I would give it 5 stars. It does exactly what you would expect, picks up a strong signal, and more importantly stays connected consistently. It's also easy to move between computers.

The cable is fine. You shouldn't have to buy it separately.

Fractal Design FD-A-USBC-001 Pop Accessory USB-C 10Gbps Cable - Model D
Fractal Design FD-A-USBC-001 Pop Accessory USB-C 10Gbps Cable - Model D

Pros: It works.

Cons: This should come with the case you just spent ~$100 on instead of as a separate accessory. Newegg shipped it in an unpadded envelope and the box was destroyed. The alignment seemed a little off where one screw had to go in at a slight angle to attach it properly.

Overall Review: It will let you use that USB-C port on the top of our Fractal Pop case. It should have come with the case (or at least as a $10 option when purchasing so you don't have to pay for shipping and deal with the hassle).

No problems so far

Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 850W 80+ Gold SLI/Crossfire Ready Ultra Quiet 140mm Hydraulic Bearing Smart Zero Fan Full Modular Power Supply 10 Year Warranty - PS-TPD-0850FNFAGU-1
Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 850W 80+ Gold SLI/Crossfire Ready Ultra Quiet 140mm Hydraulic Bearing Smart Zero Fan Full Modular Power Supply 10 Year Warranty - PS-TPD-0850FNFAGU-1

Pros: Seems very quiet so far - the fan doesn't even run when not under load Fully modular Nicely packaged

Cons: The cables are stiff which might make cable management a little harder.

Overall Review: It's a high quality power supply that is quiet and reasonably priced. Not much more to say.

Great case for the price range, but not including the USB-C cable is silly

Fractal Design Pop Air Black ATX High-Airflow Solid Panel Mid Tower Computer Case
Fractal Design Pop Air Black ATX High-Airflow Solid Panel Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: The case is solidly built with good airflow and plenty of room for a large tower cooler and video card. Cable management was easy and I found there were plenty of places to tie cables for my needs. It's also one of the few reasonably priced options with optical drive bays, usb-c on the panel, and good airflow. I went with the solid panel since I don't need to see inside my case and it was a little cheaper, but there are a lot of different color options.

Cons: As plenty of others have mentioned, the USB-C cable not being included is silly. It wouldn't be as annoying if you could actually purchase one, but you can't even purchase one right now. The power LED is a little bright for my tastes.

Overall Review: If you are looking for a relatively compact and modern case with optical drive bays they aren't too many choices. I probably would have been happy with the older Focus G, but for a little more this is a little easier to build in and has a more modern set of front ports (whenever the USB-C cable is available).
