Great cheap case!
Pros: I used this case to rebuild an older system. This case is great for the price, I got it for $19.99 after a $20 rebate. Plenty of room in this case, great cable management, good air flow, and it feel well made. I'm very happy with this case and would buy another in the future.
Cons: No USB 3.0, USE 2.0 front panel may be a issue for some but as I was rebuilding an older system it wasn't a issue. No SSD mounting option, You'll need a 3.5 bracket to mount a 2.5 SSD in this case.
Not worth the trouble
Pros: Great idea, just falls short.
Cons: Card doesn't work, drivers cause windows 7 to become problematic.
Overall Review: I installed this card into an old PC to give it an updated function/feel of USB 3.0 Every time I install the drivers for the card, windows 7 will no longer shut down nor start up. I have to do a system restore which removes the card's drivers so windows can work. I tried installing multi-versions on the card's drive with the same results each time. Thus I've given up.
Good ODD
Pros: I used this drive with an older system that had a ODD that used an IED cable. So to help clean up the cable management I upgraded that old ODD to this Samsung dvd burner. I'm very happy with this new ODD.
Cons: None
Worked out nicely
Pros: I used this with a NZXT 210 case so I could mount my old 2.5 card reader. I'm very happy with it. Works as expected.
Cons: None
Good 2.5 drive case
Pros: I used this with an old 500GB HDD from a dead laptop. Now I have a good backup drive. I'm very happy with it.
Cons: None
Good PSU
Pros: I had an old Q6600 base system that I was rebuilding that had a 8 year old PSU finally die. So I bought this CX430 to replace that old PSU. I'm very happy with this PSU. Works as expected. It's happy in this new home, in a NZXT 210 case.
Cons: None
