Bad Bad Bad

PC CHIPS M848A (V5.0) 462(A) SiS 746FX ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: It boots, sometimes

Cons: Unstable, doesn't show correct processor speed, and has the worst bios I have ever seen!!!

Overall Review: Avoid, just upgrade. It will be less hassle. Shipping to expensive to RMA.

Good Value

Broadway Com Corp R-800 Black thick Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Broadway Com Corp R-800 Black thick Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Solid case, Large enough for an EATX MoBo, which is why I bought it. Hard Drive isolation grommets are nice, 5.25 bay installation rails work OK. Comes with MoBo standoffs and tons of screws. And it's HUGE Case takes 3 120mm fans (front, side, back) and 1 80mm fan (top of case)

Cons: Toss the fans away they are garbage. (loud, Molex connections only) A few sharp edges, front plastic door will not stand up to much abuse. Top of case I/O panel not that great of a design.

Overall Review: I do not think anybody who purchases this case is going to scream its praises from the top of a mountain, not that it isn’t good it’s just not that interesting or innovative. This case does enough things right to make it a very good value case and nothing more. If you are looking for a large case for all of your gear this case in my opinion is a great option that doesn’t bust the bank account. I’ll definitely purchase another.

Solid, Funky Layout

ASUS M4A77D AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M4A77D AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Solid board, no nonsense and stable. Upgradable to the six cores if I feel the itch. Needed a board I could use my old DDR2 memory with. Just what the Dr. ordered.

Cons: The layout for the case leads, Power Switch, HDD Led, Pwr Led ETC… is on the far side of the board, cable length will be an issue. If you do not have very long case leads surgery will be necessary. I will not take any eggs off for this because it is clearly shown in the photos of the board.

Overall Review: I was not looking for the biggest baddest board out there. I just needed something to use my DDR2 memory with and this fit the bill. Very solid Very quick nice board. AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz CORSAIR XMS2 8GB DDR2 800 ASUS M4A77D Motherboard EVGA GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi)

Pros: Well built. Fit and finish are above the bar in this price range. Slick look, plenty of room inside.

Cons: Power led a little dim. No big deal just swapped it out for a brighter one.

Overall Review: Just found these cases, bought this one and it's bigger brother. LOVE THEM!!! Will be using these for all my builds from now on.
