Simply Amazing

Cooler Master Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Everything from tons of space to amazing cable management, this thing has it. I love the solid feel to the case.. it feels like it should be worth way more than it is. This is definitely the best case I have ever owned. Inside I have a XFX Radeon HD 6850, Sapphire HD 3870, AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE, three SATA Hdds, 600w Modular power supply, Memory Card Reader, Dvd burner, Blu ray Burner, and still tons of room to spare!

Cons: Okay so I love this case and everything about it but i'm just bringing out the little things that frustrated me. The red LED fan in the front is barely visible unless you take out the dust filter which is no biggie. Also it took a lot longer to set everything up than a usual case but in the end it was worth it.

Overall Review: This case was definitely worth every penny!

Good but not great

Rosewill Computer Case Fan, 120mm, LP4 Adapter, 3 /4 Pin Connector, Red Frame, 4 Red LED Lights, Sleeve Bearing, Silent - RFA-120-RL
Rosewill Computer Case Fan, 120mm, LP4 Adapter, 3 /4 Pin Connector, Red Frame, 4 Red LED Lights, Sleeve Bearing, Silent - RFA-120-RL

Pros: It is RED not an orange color. It matches my CoolerMaster STORM case very well.

Cons: Verrrrrrry loud. it might be the fact that it is blowing against the side of a desk but still.. its louder than everything in my case put together.

Overall Review: I have it hooked to a fan controller so it won't be so loud but when it is turned down to about 40% the LED's kind of pulsate from bright to dim and it doesn't stop. it doesn't really bother me too much.

Amazing Performance!

XFX Radeon HD 6850 1GB DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-685X-ZNFC

Pros: It if defiantly worth every penny that I spent! It will play every game I have tried on MAX settings! I play Crysis, Crysis WARHEAD, COD Black Ops & Modern Warfare 2, BFC 2, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, and Fallout New Vegas. The only thing I can't do is turn the AA all the way up in Crysis. Other than that Video Conversion is a breeze and Editing movies has never gone faster. It Gets a 7.7 in the Windows Experience Index.

Cons: The fan is LOUD.. It sounds like Jet engine when turned up to even just 75%

Overall Review: Defiantly worth every penny! it was between this and the HD 5830 and when you compare it performance wise.. this blows it out of the water!

Save $10

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 125W Processor - HDZ965FBGMBOX

Pros: I saved $10 on this by buying it in a combo deal with a e-sata bracket. The processor was $159.99 and the bracket was $5.49. But the weird thing was that i got $15 off from buying it in a combo deal. So basically I saved $10 and got a free e-sata bracket. Kinda weird that newegg would do that. Just paste the item # in the combo deals section and find one thats $10 cheaper than the original price.. you can also get other things but i chose to save as much as possible and just get the bracket.

Cons: None so far.

Cons: none yet...

Overall Review: had trouble with it when i first got it but i figured out that my power supply was bad
