Great fan splitter
Pros: -Sleeved cables are very pleasing to the eye. No ketchup and mustard wires here! -Supports PWM so fan speed can be better adjusted for quiet operation. -Can use all three connectors without worry of overloading the PWM circuit
Cons: -Not really a con, more of an oversight on my part but it is one solid cable with three female connectors along it. Not one male connector with three female leads coming off like I had thought. But like I said not really a con.
Overall Review: Will be using this splitter for future builds again. Solid build quality for cheap.
It's a PSU i guess
Pros: -Dual fans are perfect for the 2U chassis it is going in -Wallet friendly
Cons: -NOT 80 Plus Bronze Certified! There is no stamping anywhere to verify this claim other than in the name. -Only the 24pin connector is sleeved. -Molex pins are SUPER loose in the connector (have to be extra delicate with the already fragile connector style)
Overall Review: Honestly I'm not wanting to put this into the server. I believe that the SeaSonic SS-500ES would have been a much better option even though its 100W less, and will probably maintain efficiency longer anyway. I feel as if this is a case of false advertising, buyer beware.
Cheap entry into Kaby Lake
Pros: -Paid about $65ish for it. -Comes with one M.2 Slot -Great looking board to be so inexpensive
Cons: -Packaging seems a tad weak, its a very snug fit in the box with not a lot of protection around it. -Advanced mode of the UEFI is MUCH better than the standard one the comes up initially
Overall Review: -Used this board with a Pentium G4600 CPU which made for a rock solid system. My customer couldn't be happier!
I've built in 3 of these cases.
Pros: -inexpensive -sleek looking -small tower for tight spaces
Cons: -case feels a little flimsy, but hey I paid $19 for it. -all of the cases came with a hole in the box but one had a dent in the side panel (comes packaged in a very thin single wall box.) -need a 5.24" to 3.5" sled to mount mechanical drives in effectively.
Overall Review: -If you are throwing a computer together for a cheap office build, or for the grandparents to browse facebook with then this is an excellent case. Just wish that they were packaged a little better.
0 out of 4 are good odds right?
Pros: -They were well priced and well spec'd. -Shipped fast
Cons: -Ordered 4 and NONE of them worked. Two were COMPLETELY dead, and the other two couldn't be detected by windows. -My client's $4000 rush server upgrade job is now going to be delayed.
Overall Review: -Not the sellers fault, should have went with WD Red drives instead. I have heard good things about these drives thats why I tried them.
A budget stunner!
Pros: -Very sleek and clean outside design -Sound dampening material on side panels as well as the top. -Sturdy build quality (feels better than most $100 cases I've built in)
Cons: -Back cable management is a little slim, could be hard to hide a bulk of cables. (Not worth docking an egg about) -Finish is a finger print magnet (comes with the territory though)
Overall Review: -Would recommend this case for the budget builder, because it can accommodate any system from a facebooker to a serious gaming rig.
