Pros: cant beat that price. Marked down from 30. Range is good and very easy to set up. I liked it soo much I bough 2 more.

Cons: The range is a little low. it says 400 ft but its more like 150

Most Critical Review

disapointed

XIGMATEK FCB (Fluid Circulative Bearing) Cooling System XLF XLF-F1453 140mm LED Orange Case Fan PSU Molex Adapter/extender included
XIGMATEK FCB (Fluid Circulative Bearing) Cooling System XLF XLF-F1453 140mm LED Orange Case Fan PSU Molex Adapter/extender included

Pros: This does push out 63 cfm, the white LED make the orange blades glow very nicely and it give your case a nice appearance.

Cons: This is not < than 16. This is more like 25. My biggest gripe is that after a day this fan made a very loud ticking sound. I bough rubber mounts which did reduce the fan noise BUT NOT that awful ticking! Its really a shame because this fan looks soo good.

Overall Review: I placed the 140 as a exhaust fan on the top of my antec 300. Having it upside down (face down) was the reason it ticked. Once I placed it vertical it no longer ticked. If you need a top exhaust fan this 140 is not for you.

wow, they still have ddr400

Pros: Works on my old PC.

Cons: its not 1gb.

Overall Review: I got this for a old office computer, now it has 1gb and runs win xp well. Win XP sp3 is still more than enough for office PCs.

good price

ZALMAN Z5 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case Compatible with Standard ATX / ATX12V (not included) Power Supply

Pros: Good build quality for a plastic and steel case. Lots of room and plenty of spots to mount fans.

Cons: The hard drive bays are places from left to right instead of front to back. This makes the airflow worse and my HDD temps went up, by a lot. 25c before, now 45c and up to 60c during heavy use. The ventilation holes are a bit too much. Holes every where make it hard to direct air flow which makes temps inside increase. My old case had only 2 fans at the front, one on the back and another on the top. The temps in that case were in some cases (like my hdd) 50%+ cooler. In using this case because its larger than the old one. I got my temps lower by placing more fans but the noise is now a problem.

Overall Review: I like the look of the case especially for the price. other cases that are in the same price range aren't very attractive or as well made as this one. Its a good case but it does have some issues.

fast and stays cool

AMD A4-3300 - A-Series APU (CPU + GPU) Llano Dual-Core 2.5 GHz Socket FM1 65W AMD Radeon HD 6410D Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic - AD3300OJHXBOX

Pros: fast and stays cool, for the price. very easily overclocked to 2.7 and stays cool if you want to go higher. if you're a beginner, this apu is very forgiving.

Cons: You can over clock it but don't expect it to compete with a A6, A8.

Overall Review: I built a HT pc with this apu and it runs great. The built-in gpu is great, no slow buggy frame rates when playing multiple media. You can play games on these with decent settings but don't expect to it to keep up with graphics cards on high settings.
