Pretty Good Case

Rosewill ARMOR-EVO - Gaming Mid Tower Computer Case - Supports Up to E-ATX MBs - Six (6) Pre-Installed Fans: 2 x Front Red LED 120mm, 2 x Top 120mm, 1 x Side 230mm, 1 x Rear 120mm (Supports Up to 9)
Rosewill ARMOR-EVO - Gaming Mid Tower Computer Case - Supports Up to E-ATX MBs - Six (6) Pre-Installed Fans: 2 x Front Red LED 120mm, 2 x Top 120mm, 1 x Side 230mm, 1 x Rear 120mm (Supports Up to 9)

Pros: - Comes with 6 available fans. (3-120mm @ top&rear // 2 140mm red LED fans @ Front // 1-230mm fan @ side panel) (There is also a fan mount for a 140mm at the bottom of the case, right in front of the PSU. This is great because you can install one and have the hot air forced out rising from the bottom of the case, it's great for my setup since I have a GTX 670 SLI setup that is overclocked so it pumps out a pretty good amount of heat.) - You can remove the fans and replace the 120's with 140s and the sidepanel fan can be replaced with 4 140mm fans instead of a single 230mm fan. - Good Exterier paintjob finish. It's a very classy case since there isnt much curvature any where. It reminds me of the Fractal Design R4, but bigger. - Pretty quiet, with the OEM fans. - A LOT of Mesh to keep everything in the case cool - Ample amount of cut-out grommets to keep the cable management in the rear (more about this later) - Stand off for the Power Supply, this is a great addition since it will prolong the life of a PSU especially if the PC is located in a less airflow environment (i.e. the bottom of you desk with carpet flooring) - Pretty Sturdy, but not the sturdiest out there. There's not much reinforcement in the sidepanels so its just a straight up steel board all the way though. (This might be a con to some people but its a pro for me since it keeps the case light) - Rubber Screw Mounts for fans, these things help the case function pretty quietly.. definitely a plus... but in personal experience, they can wear out rather quickly. I hope Rosewill have supplies for these. - Removable HDD/SSD Trays, I know that these are standard for almost all of the cases but, in my scenario, it helped me tremendously as the bottom 3 cages functioned as cable management - Able to accomodate E-ATX motherboards without being a full-tower size. I used to have a HAFX and that was obnoxiously large, or i think it is. For the hardware I have, the case fit it very very well: - GTX 670 SLI - Asus Sabertooth 990FX - 750 Watt Rosewill Fortress 80 Platinum - WD 1.5 TB - Crucial 250 M4 SSD - G. Skill 16GB Sniper 1833mhz ....

Cons: - No dust filter for the R/H side panel... Man this was a serious qualm because I'm placing the case at the bottom of my desk that and it can get dusty down there... Then again I can clean every other day.... Meh. - Weak closing hinges for the side panels. I think it's comparable to the size of two big tooth toothpick. But....well, i just hope it doesn't break. - The L/H side panel can create a nightmare of a scenario for you if you dont have a modular power supply. I got a 750W Rosewill Fortress 80 Platinum Non-Modular PSU and I BARELY managed the panel to close. As of right now, I'm scared that it's bending the closing hinges of said panel. The cable management on the body of the case is great, but for the rear... not so much. It's a very tight fit. Not worth deducting an egg but worth saying.

Overall Review: Get this case if you want a really good case. I highly recommend it. Rosewill did a great job fabricating this case for all types of users. I'm a HUGE gaming person myself but I can take this case with me to work fo an engineering firm and feel professional having the case on top of my desk, aside from the fact that it is Horizontally Long.

TI 89 is the best Calculator in the world!

Texas Instruments TI-89 Titanium Graphing Calculator
Texas Instruments TI-89 Titanium Graphing Calculator

Pros: - Very Versatile Can calculate anything from a basic algebraic equation(that comes in really handy if you are working on an engineering course that deals with one, or more, variable) to multiple integrals and derivations. - Customizable You can download a lot of applications that can help you through the classes like Notefolio, Softwares for Business Courses as well as Engineering Courses. You can also download a lot of games and put it into the calculator in case you're bored out of your dam mind in class. - Very Reliable I changed my battery three times in a total of 4 years of very heavy use. (About 2-3 hours / study day = no life)

Cons: - It was $98 when I bought mine 3-4 years ago, I don't know why they increased it. Probably the high-influx of engineering students that are in-demand>!?!?! - High learning curve to learn the available functions

Overall Review: With this calculator, your limit is endless in terms of what you can do. Great buy, but it is definitely not for someone who 1) is just gonna be using this calc for recreational purposes (i.e. counting tips, allowance) there's Ti84 or Ti83, heck there's a Ti1 that can do that 2) is not willing to read the manual that comes with it as almost all of the programmable functions have a somewhat complicated inputs. Definitely a high-learning curve 3) Not involved in fields such as Engineering, or Business

Slow HDD, but does the job

Western Digital WD Green WD15EARX 1.5TB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital WD Green WD15EARX 1.5TB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: - Cheap, I got this for around 69.99, for a 1.5TB... that's great as of this date - Easy installation, the Hard Drive it self has different mounting screws around the case that makes it easier for builders to incorporate this HDD into their system. - It's a Western Digital!!

Cons: - SLOW!, I use this drive for my boot... Man, this thing is slow as it gets. It was so slow that I thought it was a 5200RPM HDD

Overall Review: Use this for your Hard Drive that can contain non-essential documents, programs, applications, softwares... etc. Do yourself a favor and get an SSD for boot-up and essential applications, games...
