Most Critical Review

Heavy

Silverstone Aluminum Constructed Notebook Cooler NB01B
Silverstone Aluminum Constructed Notebook Cooler NB01B

Pros: Very quiet and very cool

Cons: This thing weighs a ton. All metal construction and the edges can snag anything that it is set on. Be careful not to set it on anything valuable.

Overall Review: This is for laptops (for the lap) but is best suited to put on a desk. It is so heavy that it could cut off the circulation to your legs.

Mystified

Rosewill RP550-2 550W ATX12V v2.01     Power Supply
Rosewill RP550-2 550W ATX12V v2.01 Power Supply

Pros: Well wrapped cables.

Cons: The power supply crapped out on me soon after I got it. Couldn't get a refund so I will have another PSU like this one. Hope it works better.

Overall Review: The PSU would probably be good if you were needing the SATA connections. The manufacturer did a nice job of wrapping ALL of the cables to keep them nice and neat.

Very Disappointed

RAIDMAX Elite ATX-208B Black 0.7mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
RAIDMAX Elite ATX-208B Black 0.7mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: It's Black

Cons: This case is one of the flimsiest I have ever owned. Very cheap materials. Had to return the first one because the front bezel was completely broken. The replacement had to be drilled out in the two external 3.5" bays so I could mount the drives. The holes didn't line up with the drives.

Overall Review: I was really surprised with this Raidmax case. I have use this same model for many computer builds. Granted, Raidmax has changed their case slightly through the years, but now it is just plain CHEAP. The thickness of the material isn't as advertised. It's a much lighter grade of metal.
