Most Favorable Review

Buy from Newegg

Antec TriCool92mm 92mm 3-Speed Case Fan
Antec TriCool92mm 92mm 3-Speed Case Fan

Pros: Great looking, Love the manual switch, No LED's which I think are unnecessary as I won't see them in the back of the case. Seemed to cool the case pretty good at first.

Cons: Manual switch cord could be alot longer.

Overall Review: I made the mistake of trying to give a local PC store my business, they've never steered me wrong before and I've never had an issue with anything I bought from them till now. Got it home and opened the package only to see the 3 pin connector even though it says right on the package 4 pin connector included so my plan of moving my other case fan to the front of the case is a no go till I get a 3-4pin connector. I should've figured something was fishy since the package was so easy to open and it looks like somebody else took a knife or scissors to the packaging. Yesterday it seemed to work pretty good keeping the case cooler than the oem fan. However today the fan didn't even come on when I started it so I had to pop the case open and start the pc give the fan a flick with my finger to get it started, and switched the setting to high as I had set it for medium yesterday. Doesn't seem to be cooling the case off as well today though so I might end up returning it and order one from here.

Most Critical Review

Buy another brand PC

DELL Desktop PC OptiPlex 740 MT 2.40GHz 2GB 80GB HDD Windows XP Professional
DELL Desktop PC OptiPlex 740 MT 2.40GHz 2GB 80GB HDD Windows XP Professional

Pros: Nice case and the black/silver color combo is nice too look at. Decent psu for base pc. Big case fan. Can handle up to 8gb of ram. CPU is upgradeable

Cons: Backwards motherboard. Case fan and heatsink are one unit. PSU fan is in a place where it can't get decent airflow.

Overall Review: What moron at Dell thought it wold be a genius idea to make the case fan and CPU heatsink all one unit!?!?!?! This thing is a nightmare to clean with a dustcan. Since the fan/heatsink shroud is in the way good luck finding a graphics card with a fan that will fit into the PCIE slot. It deserves 2.5 stars but I gave it 3 to be nice.

Works fine till it needs cleaned

Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000
Microsoft Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000

Pros: Great ergonomic layout and comfortable to use

Cons: Needs cleaned routinely usually once or more a month after a few months use. Now after a year and a half it decided to stop working all together even after cleaning. Glad I kept the keyboard my pc came with.

Overall Review: Won't be buying any more Microsoft garbage keyboards/mice

Have fun with the Case fan/heatsink unit

Pros: go to cons

Cons: Case fan & Heatsink are one unit, have fun with that. If the fan goes out you have to rip out the heatsink to change the fan!!! Wish I would've stuck with HP

update

Verbatim 4.7 GB 16X DVD+R 100 Packs Spindle Disc Model 95098
Verbatim 4.7 GB 16X DVD+R 100 Packs Spindle Disc Model 95098

Pros: 100 pack

Cons: alot of coasters

Overall Review: Since Verbatim has switched to lower quality factory I'll be switching brands. Burned 4 coasters today. After the first 2 coasters I randomly selected dvdr's from the stack. A couple burned correctly while 2 more others will make a nice coaster set >:( .

Switched factories?

Verbatim 4.7 GB 16X DVD+R 100 Packs Spindle Disc Model 95098
Verbatim 4.7 GB 16X DVD+R 100 Packs Spindle Disc Model 95098

Pros: 100pk for $30 is a great deal considering most stores sell them for $50.

Cons: none yet...

Overall Review: Apparently Verbatim has switched factories as the new 100pk I bought 2 weeks ago has different disks than the last Verbatim 100 pack I bought in 2011. Unfortunately the new discs look like they were made by the same factory a friend of mine's Verbatim 50pk was made in and he's got about 5 coasters out of 30 from that pack so far. While I was at a local office store a lady asked me what brand would be good for Cdr's and I said Verbatims and that's what she was returning for a refund because they burned 10 coasters in a row out of a 50pk. It seems Verbatim's quality is slipping lately. If I get any coasters from this pack I guess I'll switch back to Sony's as I've never had an issue with them either yet.
