RAIDMAX xB ATX-528B Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
RAIDMAX xB ATX-528B Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: -Decent budget case. -Easy to remove side panels.

Cons: -Doesn't come with enough spacers. -Not enough bigger screws (for PSU). -Not enough screws of adequate length to secure motherboard to case. (I ended up finding some screws in my garage that I could use.) -Only comes with 1 side fan, when Newegg's specs promise 2. -PCI slot metal cover was not adequately spaced for my video card. (I ended up cutting one of the dividers off to make room.)

Overall Review: Contrary to what a lot of the reviews say here, this case was not damaged on arrival.

Overall Review: -None.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ - Athlon 64 X2 Brisbane Dual-Core 2.2 GHz Socket AM2 65W Processor - ADO4200DOBOX

Pros: -Extremely fast processor, doesn't even feel like a 2.2. -Comes with heatsink and fan. -Easily attaches to motherboard. -Low price for amazing performance. -Overclockable to 2.8 with stock cooling. (Although I haven't tried it myself.)

Cons: -When twisting the level to attach it to the motherboard it felt like it was going on too tight and was going to snap.

Overall Review: Only owned this for about 1.5 weeks, will get another review in later.
