Most Favorable Review

Great PSU !

Antec TruePower New TP-750 Blue 750W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
Antec TruePower New TP-750 Blue 750W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply

Pros: Not a problem, worked perfectly. I hooked up everything I could to it. 3 HDD, 2 DVD, 1 Cardreader, CPU - I5, Radeon 5830 and ALL in an Antec 902 case. IT's a gaming computer so I like all the lights. Saves power like a champ. Goes into sleep mode and all the lights go off and will quickly come back on with the movement of the mouse.

Cons: None. Very quiet.

Overall Review: Good investment for a 750W on a gaming computer. Impressively does the job.

Most Critical Review

Ugghhhhh ! Dead on Arrival !

ASUS P7H55D-M EVO LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Nice Looking Box. Easy to understand Instuctions. Good Looking MoBo. Nice lady answered phone to give me RMA number. Ends there.

Cons: Was DEAD out of the BOX. Bought board to help brother with his first build. Never got it to boot up. Called ASUS tech support (LOL) and they were no help. Could not return to New Egg after 30 days had to RMA it back to ASUS. I got it back from ASUS and still could not boot up. Called ASUS and asked specifically what was wrong with the board, got transferred to tech support (LOL) and they said "something" was fixed but could not specify. I tried countless times to boot and gave up. Bought new Mobo. At this point I'm starting new build and will try and use this ASUS board one last time before I toss it and my $125 in the garbage. Will change my review if I get it working and will RMA back to ASUS one last time.

Overall Review: Bought Intel BOXDH55TC LGA 1156 Intel H55 and was up and running in less than 2 hours.

Very Good Basic PSU !

Antec BP550 Plus 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Intel Haswell Fully Compatible

Pros: It's modular and had no problems hooking everything up in the micro ATX case used. Works great !

Cons: None

Overall Review: Remember this is a basic supply. Don't go trying to hook everything up to it. It's 550 Watts so do some addition when working with multiple HD drives and solid state drive.

Great Case !

Pros: This is a very good case will definitely buy again for another build. Very easy to install components without tools. Good craftsmanship on the case. Side panel to hide wires. Very sturdy.

Cons: The blue USB cord that I have to plug into the back of my motherboard's USB port. Surprised it wasn't a pin connection that plugs into the USB socket on the board.

Great Starter MoBo !

Pros: I have to give it 5 eggs simply because it came out of the box running and worked as advertised immediately. Took me a couple hours to hook evertyhing up and I was off surfing on the net. Great starter board. Nothing fancy, just a good product.

Cons: No specific setup instructions, but it's an easy build for most people. Just used the board configuration sheet that comes with product and match connections.

Overall Review: Bought ASUS P7H55M-EVO MoBo first and had to RMA it back to ASUS. Tried a 2nd to use and failed again. Will try again in the next couple weeks with new build.
