BYTECC BT-3260T-BK 32"-60" Tilt TV Wall Mount LED & LCD HDTV Up to VESA 600x400mm Max Load 175 lbs., Compatible with Samung, Vizio, Sony, Panasonic, LG and Toshiba TV
BYTECC BT-3260T-BK 32"-60" Tilt TV Wall Mount LED & LCD HDTV Up to VESA 600x400mm Max Load 175 lbs., Compatible with Samung, Vizio, Sony, Panasonic, LG and Toshiba TV

Pros: Includes a ton of hardware from lag bolts, to bolts for all sizes of tvs, spacers, and washers. The wide base spans the weird studs that were in my wall easily.

Cons: The only small thing I noticed was once the TV is mounted on the wall, the ability to tighten the security bolts on the bottom rail is really tight and the included right angle wrench is unusable because it hits the TV.

Overall Review: Would purchase again.

Pros: What can I say? It's RAM. Plug it in and go. Price is decent enough and dropping.

Cons: Had to RMA the first set. One of the two sticks failed memtest86+ out of the box, hundreds of errors. Second set is working perfectly.

Fantastic Case

Pros: There's a lot to love about this case. Coming from a full-tower, I was afraid there wouldn't be enough room to work easily within it. I was wrong! Despite having 3 SSDs, and a 3.5" HDD, and an outdated PSU, it was a joy to put together. I love the SSD presentation and the tempered glass. The included top HDMI port was a bonus for my VR addiction. The cable management channels are magnificent too. There's enough room for all SATA cables, PSU cables, fan leads all easily flattened behind the closing mechanisms. The back panel is easily removed and there's well-enough room to access them. The included Puck is a great addition for the price (especially if you get a rebate!) Front dust cover is magnetic. Bottom dust cover isn't. None included on the top exhaust. Fans are quiet and have long enough leads for I'd guess all motherboards. Color choices are great too. White is what I bought and it looks fantastic coupled with white and black SATA cables. Lack of branding is a great thing, in my opinion. A small NZXT logo on the front is all that's needed. Classy. Thumb screws nearly everywhere.

Cons: Instructions are lacking. But if you're buying this case, you shouldn't have any trouble. 3.5" HDD bay is in a weird place and not in the line of airflow. I'm not sure how bad the airflow is, but thought I should mention it. On that note, the 3rd SSD mount (the vertical one) has very tight power cable space. The degree of bending needed seems extreme. The other two SSDs have enough room for cables. Getting the SATA cables into the motherboard from behind the raised cable tray was a nuisance after the cable management tray was populated with everything else. Connect your modular power supply cables before installing the PSU. There simply won't be any room for your fingers if you don't. Lots of free space in there to stash any extra lengths of cable though. No included front fans.

Overall Review: I love the case. The drive access is one of my before things about it. Surprised by how much room there was in the case itself to work, both in front and behind the motherboard.
