Rosewill ARMOR Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case ,Full mesh design front bezel, comes with Six Fans-1x Front 120mm Fan, 2x Top 120mm Fan, 1x Rear 120mm Fan, 1x 80mm Fan on motherboard tray, 1x Side 200mm Fan, option Fan-1x Bottom 120mm Fan

Pros: This was my first modern case, and I was looking for something that was easier to work with, and provided more options that my 10 year old case did. I was not disappointed. Installation of parts was far, far easier than the last time I upgraded. Especially the front panel items. The mesh looks great, and the fans make for good cooling. The case is almost cold to the touch when running. The LEDs aren't the greatest show on Earth, but they can bring a little light if I want it. I like that I can turn them off. Fans are rather silent compared to some of the others I've had

Cons: One of the fans appear to have become loose after about a month of use. It makes this terrible vibration sound for about 7 minutes after computer start up. The fan hub, while a good idea, limits my chooses if my understanding of the documentation is correct. Not the easiest unboxing I've ever done.

Overall Review: Overall, I am pleased with this case. Even if I need to disable a fan, I'm confident that this case will serve well for a long, long time. I was hesitant to buy a new case in this price range as there was nothing outright broken about the old one, but I'm happy I did. Well worth it.

ZOTAC ZT-40404-10P SYNERGY GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 768MB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
ZOTAC ZT-40404-10P SYNERGY GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 768MB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: The card works fine. I am most pleased by the increase in power compared to old card, and the price was right.

Cons: Said price was based partly on a rebate promotion. A promotion they haven't honored until I contacted support three months after purchase. I am told that the information was there all along, and I might receive the rebate after another 30 days.

Overall Review: Such shady dealings are not to my liking. I will not buy ZOTAC again.

Pros: Easy install Speedy

Cons: It took six months and a call to the Better Business Bureau before Zotac would cough up the rebate. After 15 months, with no modifications to the card's default settings, the face plate is warping. And the noise is making terrible sounds.

Overall Review: Will not buy Zotac again.

Rosewill RFFC-11008 - Black, High Back Executive LeatherPlus Chair
Rosewill RFFC-11008 - Black, High Back Executive LeatherPlus Chair

Pros: Comfortable for office work Sturdy Wide enough for larger people Moves easily.

Cons: This char is not comfortable for long periods of gaming. The leather does not breath, and the chair seems to get warmer after awhile due to this. The armrests are a four point system, and non-adjustable. In my case, they are too low to actually use. Worse, due to the length of the armrests, they end up pinching my legs, which is noticeable after awhile. The lumbar support is at an odd place, and it often feels like it's jabbing into my back, rather than offer support.

Overall Review: I wasn't buying the chair for me, but for someone else. Turns out, it was to be a gift to me. When I received it, it was too late to return. This chair has been regulated to occasional use only, and not to be used for more than an hour at a time.
