GIGABYTE GZ-FA2CA-AJB Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Absoultely stunning - built a dozen computers - best case ever. Clean - simple - GREAT Cooling - Quiet Fans - good door and latch - Great Window - My MSI P7N Diamind w Intel Core 2 Quad - Zelman Fan Lines up perfectly with one of the 120MM Case out fans - Very well done

Cons: very minor - I didn't feel the Auto Quick Clamping card slot divice held my vidio card tight - so I used a screw

Overall Review: I have some great digetal pictures is there any way to download them to you?

GIGABYTE GZ-FA2CA-AJB Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Great design, very roomy, Keeps everthing cool! Exceptionly well built. I like the case very much. Problem is the lack of support. I would rate it a 5 egg - with some support.

Cons: No issues for 10 months - then the on/off power switch built onto a circuit board begin to malfunction. After checking it out I contacted Gigabyte customer services. They had me forward the invoice and then promised a replacement circuit board. Never got it. Then they just stopped answering my e-mails. I even offered to purchase one - no responce from customer service.

Very clean and very nice PS

Pros: Enough cables for and connections - very clean looking in a window case. Cables were long enough for a full tower case. It works.

Cons: None yet. I will tell you in 5 years when the warranty is up.

Awesome case

Fractal Design Arc XL (FD-CA-ARC-XL-BL-W) Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Fractal Design Arc XL (FD-CA-ARC-XL-BL-W) Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Awesome Case - Good Air flow - I have 6 140mm case fans going - good auto fan control built in. Good room to work & keep wires & cables separated from air flow. All the hardware you require included.

Cons: I did purchase lighted fans to replace unlighted that were included. However I did not deduct because I knew that when I purchased. Included fans were silent and nice - just not lighted.

Overall Review: Very well made and assembled case.

Crucial Ballistix Tracer 1GB DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Desktop Memory w/ Red & Green LEDs Model BL12864AL106A
Crucial Ballistix Tracer 1GB DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Desktop Memory w/ Red & Green LEDs Model BL12864AL106A

Pros: 4 - 1gig sticks in a Diamond P7N motherboard with a Kentfield Quad 4 2.4Ghz. Running 2.96 with 1070 ram speed for over a year now with no issues. 5-5-5-15 @ 2.1V Needs the full 2.1 volts. This thing couldn't run any better. Looks cool in a window case.

Cons: I wish Crucial made the "1066 Tracers" in 2Gig sticks - I would order 4 today. Russ :>)

Overall Review: I've had the provesses to 3.3 and the ram to 1085 but I got into the 50's C on heat. At 2.96 & 1070 I can keep normal use in the 38 to 44 C range. Russ :>)
