What a beauty!

Sunbeam Transformer IC-TR-US-BK Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case 450W Power Supply
Sunbeam Transformer IC-TR-US-BK Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case 450W Power Supply

Pros: I was looking for a full ATX gaming tower for under a $100, and I'm glad I picked this one. This was my first complete build and I have to credit this tower for making it so much easier. Motherboard slipped in with no problem. Dvd, HD, floppy or whatever no tools needed. Comes with 4 fans, 3 - 80mm and a 120mm. This is a very nice looking tower, and everyone that has seen it, have been impressed. I highly recommend this tower if you like size and bling! Newegg as always, you rock!

Cons: I have seen alot of neg comments on the fan noise and yes they make noise, but I personally have no issues with this. The biggest knock on this case is the placement of the drive compartment door. It opens to the left toward the window side of the tower, and tends to get in the way if you have the window side of the tower facing out. An earlier post suggested taking it off which would work but I like having it on so I just deal with it.

Overall Review: I bought extra sound act blue cathode lights and a green 120mm front fan which went in easy as pie. The case has a nice blue/green feel and looks great. There are some great examples on youtube.

Not Bad...but?

Pros: Nice bright blue glow that really lights up your case. The control knob on the back panel works pretty good. You can adjust it to keep the lights on staticly or tweak it to activate when music is playing which works very well. Now I do have my pc pretty close to my subwoofer and when I play music or play COD4 it gives off a nice light show.

Cons: I bought two of these sound activated cathode kits and only one worked right. The one that had issues still would power up the cold cathode but the sound activated feature would not work so I set up a RMA to send back to newegg.

Overall Review: I also have a pair of 12in cold cathode lights and a 4in. I plugged these in to the one control box that worked and they seem to work just fine on the sound activation mode. Now I have these in a Sunbeam Transformer case and people are blown away by the light show. This is some nice eye candy and they are a cheap addition to your system.

Great first build

Pros: I bought this processor for my first build and it has been running like a champ for over 3 months now. I have it overclocked at 3.4ghz on stock air. Its idle temps sit around 35c and load temps never higher then 49c. Most of the reviews of this processor on NewEgg will say this processors' value/performance is hard to pass up. It is very easy to overclock and can handle about anything you can throw at it. If your looking to get the most bang for your buck then you need look no further! Welcome back AMD!

Cons: ummmmmm, none.

Overall Review: I wanted to build a gaming pc and save some cash.

It started right up the first time and, I didn't even have to flash the bios'. I now have a system that can handle any game in my inventory and I have the headroom to expand in the future, all for under $1,000.

Nice Fan

Pros: Nice fan for the price. I have it installed as an intake fan in the front of my case. It moves plenty of air and lights up nice and bright.

Cons: No real issues with this fan.

Overall Review: If your looking for a bright green LED fan, then this one is hard to beat for the price.
