Nice Case

RAIDMAX SAGITTA 2 ATX-928WS Black/ Silver 0.7mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Removable MB Computer Case
RAIDMAX SAGITTA 2 ATX-928WS Black/ Silver 0.7mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Removable MB Computer Case

Pros: Very Roomy Case with good air flow. The 2 120mm fans really keep the system temp down. The front Blue LEDs are quite bright and add a nice touch to the case. Front jacks were single plugs and not individual wires. Used a 90mm upright CPU fan, and had enough room from side fan. 120mm might have trouble with it though.

Cons: Should have bought a 3rd 120mm fan to put in the front to bring more air in, but so far my system still remains super quiet and cool with the 2 in now. Front jacks are covered up by the door. Fans are 4pin molex connector. Would work better if they plugged into the board or had adapters.

Overall Review: More than enough case for the price. Has most anything a system builder wants. jsut wish I checked for alternate colors first, The grey/silver is nice, but the Yellow really stands out and the blue fits with the internal LED concept. Don't hesitate to buy if you like the design.

Most Critical Review

Don't buy the pair

ADATA 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model AD1U400A512M3-DRH
ADATA 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Desktop Memory Model AD1U400A512M3-DRH

Pros: The memory works great in a A7N8X MB and has nice timings for a cheaper memory.

Cons: Don't buy the sticks in the pair. I recieved the two sticks, one dead, sent back the dead stick, only to have to shut down my system and send back the good stick before they would replace either one. When the single sticks are the same price, go with the singles if you go this route.

Solid Memory

CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 675 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-5400c4
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 675 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X2048-5400c4

Pros: Solid Memory. Bought 2 gigs for my wifes computer in X-mas of '06. Ran Solid for a year and added another two Gigs this X-mas.

Cons: First Batch had a dud stick. Since it was a memory upgrade, RMA'd and received a new set quickly. Vista 32 only recognizes 3.327gig but that was more than I expected.

Overall Review: Nice for the price, but would go 800MHZ if I purchased new today. Had to set the timing from 1T to 2T for it to run stable with the last 2 Gig but timing still stayed 4/4/4/12. Corsair has a great forum for memory problems and OCing advice.

Great Monitor

Acer 19" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI AL1916WAbd
Acer 19" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI AL1916WAbd

Pros: Quality Monitor. No dead pixels. Great Price. All the graphics are very bright and can easily see the smallest details even on the sunniest of days. Bought it for my wife, and waiting to get one for myself.

Cons: Minor: Some rainbowing of text when scrolling if looking at the screen from a larger angle, but that may be with most LCDs

Overall Review: Only using a 6600GS to feed the monitor now, Will have a 7900GT after the holidays to see if the monitor preforms better.
