Can't complain

TOPOWER X3 Series ZU-550W 550 W ATX12V Version 2.0 / EPS12V SLI Ready Power Supply
TOPOWER X3 Series ZU-550W 550 W ATX12V Version 2.0 / EPS12V SLI Ready Power Supply

Pros: This power supply worked 24/7 through New England hot summer days and cold winter nights, in an environment rich in dust, cobwebs, and cat hair, for SEVEN YEARS.

Cons: Didn't last forever :P

Good sound

Pros: Free with motherboard. Sound good (I'm no audiophile, but these sound pretty darn good to me.) They fit my BIG head. Had to stretch them out to the max, but they fit. My head is a little bigger than most "one size fits all" hats sold in the U.S. Definitely the best FREE headphones I've ever used.

Cons: I don't care for the blue, a bit too bright for my taste. Minus 1 egg for my personal opinion of the color. I feel a bit silly wearing these in the office because of the bright color (they look like kid's headphones to me.) I will probably keep them at home.

Overall Review: I would pay for these if they came in BLACK.

Good case overall. - Door is a bit of a pain for me.

Pros: Good solid feeling metal case. Big. Lots of bays. Includes big, quiet fans. My kids love the blue lights and big window.

Cons: The door is lightweight plastic and FEELS flimsy; but it hasn't broken with over a year's use, so I guess it's OK. The door doesn't work so good if your PC sits on a carpet, like mine. Also, anything on the floor like cables or kids' toys will interfere with the door swinging too. I wouldn't recommend this case to most people just because I now realize how often I have to open and close that darn door to get at the DVD drives. The LED's are really bright. The front panel LED's are focussed enough to project a spot on the wall 10 feet away in the dark (that might be a "pro" for some of you. IMO, not a good case for a 24/7 computer in a bedroom.

Overall Review: This is a cool looking, solidly built case that is good overall. I would suggest something without a door for frequent disc swappers.

Quiet - Works

Comments: Replaced blown PS in Dell Dimension 2400. NewEgg rocks on fast shipping, as usual.
