I bought 2 of these for christmas
Pros: I love that they're IPS. It really makes a difference. I see no bleeding and have no dead pixels. I like how the power led faces down so if you leave the monitors on all the time, it doesn't blind you at night.
Cons: Mhl doesnt work with my s3(but still charges it) One of my monitors doesnt turn on automatically through dual link dvi but the other does. Not sure if this is a video card issue or the cable. The cables are not quite 6 feet
Overall Review: i got these to replace two 19's that didnt match and were 1440x900. i use a dual monitor stand so i cant comment on the stock stands
Matches perfectly with rosewill blackhawk case
Pros: i love how it blends in with the mesh from the rosewill blackhawk case. the sliders are very sturdy. wires are long enough to reach any fan in a midtower. installation was easy in my tool-less case
Cons: the range of fan control is limited to 40%-100%. may be a deal breaker for some. my case is super quiet with all sliders all the way down still maintaining good temps. the sliders also control the led brightness, but not by much.
Overall Review: it has one white led right below the brand name. it shines through the 5th slider. this doesnt bother me, although i kinda want to turn it blue to match my fans. i have owned this controller for over a month and no problems. it runs three 140s and two 120s. a couple of the fans are molex so i connected them using this piece. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812226056
amazing case
Pros: all black, tinted window, 5 fans, PS bottom vent. i bought this case for my 4 year old gaming pc while i save up money to replace the components. the old case was a media center case(really small, no lights and only 2 fans) the video card had some heat problems when under work load. this case fixes the issue
Cons: my PS isnt modular and my mobo has an 8 pin power for the cpu and because the PS is bottom mounted, the 8 pin connector was on the opposite side of the mobo...so this cable is stretched from the PS, over the vid card, and it barely makes it...so i guess make sure your cable is long enough to reach
Overall Review: -4 fans are molex and the 5th is a 3 pin. -came with 2 zip ties a bunch of screws. -the front panel wires get in the way of the first 5.25 bay but are easily moved -the back side panel has plenty of room for my sata connections(they are not the angled ones) -ive been building pcs for about 7 years now and this was easy to install pieces into. i definitely recommend this case
