NZXT Phantom PHAN-002GR Black with Green Stripes Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case
NZXT Phantom PHAN-002GR Black with Green Stripes Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: First things first, the green and black theme of this case is superb. The green LEDs on the power, hard drive, and fan controllers are super sweet. The layout on the inside is marvelous, the cable management grommets are perfectly placed and allow for great management. NZXT has created a very innovative tool-less design in the drive bays, you just pop the plastic back, slide your drive in, snap it back into the drive and its secure. No fuss, no hassle. Great design. This case has three - yes, three - 200mm fan mounts. If you want to deck this thing out, get the two extra 200mm green led NZXT silent fans from newegg. They're about 13 bucks a piece and are well worth the money for the cooling you get. I spent the extra cash and got all the fans to fill each mount in the case and I can't hear them at all even at full power. Very sexy case. If you stumbled upon this case while looking for a new enclosure for your rig like I did, buy it.

Cons: Not a thing. Couldn't ask for more out of a computer case.

Overall Review: Green is my favorite color. This thing makes my soul happy.

Most Critical Review

Exploded after about 12 hours of use

NZXT HALE90-1000-M 1000W ATX 12V v2.2, EPS 12V v2.91 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
NZXT HALE90-1000-M 1000W ATX 12V v2.2, EPS 12V v2.91 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: 1000w, Sexy matte white paint, Modular design, Sleeved cables

Cons: After about 12 hours of use in my brand new computer, it decided to short itself out, and blew every breaker in my house. The power button was then stuck on and was impossible to switch off. I contacted NZXT soon after where they asked for my invoice, to which I promptly sent. I never received a response back from them for over a month. I decided to make a proactive effort to get the problem fixed, so I created an account on their forums to complain about the horrible service that I received. Afterwards, I was contacted by a support rep who cleared things up and gave me an RMA number. Now I'm waiting for my PSU to get to their facility so that my RMA can continue. Its been over a month now, and I still have a dead power supply. Its a fantastic power supply when it works, and NZXT makes exceptional products, but they desperately need to make some changes to their customer service department.

Overall Review: I really don't want this to look bad on NZXT. I think they are a fabulous company with a lot of promise in the future, I'm really just frustrated that I didn't really get to use my 200 dollar power supply that I bought over a month ago. Over the eight or so years that I've bought computer parts from newegg, this is the very first one that hasn't worked. I'd say that's a pretty good track record.

Perfect Headset

SteelSeries Siberia V2 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Full-Size Gaming Headset - Green
SteelSeries Siberia V2 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Full-Size Gaming Headset - Green

Pros: First off, the steelseries siberia V2 is an outstanding headset and you already know that. You're looking at this headset because of one thing - Its GREEN! The green on this headset is bright lime green, perfect to compliment any gaming setup. Trust me when I say: if you want an incredible quality *green* headset, this is the one!

Cons: Was under the assumption that the microphone end would be the same color green, but its just black. Not a reason to warrant an egg loss, but it would've been a nice touch.

Overall Review: Is it on sale right now? No? Doesn't matter, stop reading and ADD TO CART!!

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R797D5-3GD-B
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7970 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R797D5-3GD-B

Pros: This thing... Wow... I upgrade from a GeForce 9800 GTX+ This is lightyears ahead of my old card. It runs every. single. thing. on ultra high settings, without so much as a shudder. Couldn't be more pleased with this video card, The stock cooler does a dandy job of keeping it cool even at full load, overclocked. If you've got the cash, get two of these and run them in crossfire. But if you can't, the single card is outstanding.

Cons: Nothing

Overall Review: Can't wait till I can get another one for crossfire.

Pros: Its a WD Caviar Black. One of the most highly rated hard drives since the beginning of western digital. You really can't do much better than this. 1.5TB is huge. I can't even dream of filling this thing up.

Cons: Cant think of a thing

Overall Review: Wish I had an SSD this big...
