Excellent!

Phanteks PH-TC12LS_RGB 120mm UFB (Updraft Floating Balance) Bearing CPU Cooler with RGB Halos

Pros: Great control and performance - quiet - colorful & "purdy" - keeps a chill - in other words VERY unlike my previous marriage. See there - gotcha :) Is a good point tho Paired great with AMD Ryzen 3400G - on MSI Gaming Plus x470 - keeps the heat down so low temps - I have to open up the case and check for frost. okay...so I stretched it a TAD - but it does a very good job at keeping the temps down - also syncs with the on-board controls in both speed and lighting. Compliments well with MSI on board LED also. Like a mini 80's dance going on in there. How would I know? well because - I am a 80's "survivor" :) Was a little skeptical at first when shopping around for cooler options - but glad I picked this one which is totally unlike my previous marriage. Gotcha again! Sturdy - well built - smooth curves - even has a awesome whisper. What? oh so you on guard this time - ok so.... Instructions great - handling in getting together went good - some may complain a little when assembling the final mount but is no big deal - I have seen WAY much worse - especially in my previous build. O so you thought like my previous marriage again. That's cool - you're right.

Cons: None - but if anything on the other hand you see...would be my previous marriage

Overall Review: Super - enjoying the quiet sound of great CPU cooling even when on higher loads - so defintely recommend

Great MB option!

Overall Review: My first "B" series build - making use of a AMD 2700x CPU. Solid build though - no wifi, and rgb headers (x2) are 12v, (adapters can provide 3-pin/5v). No problem in adding on to have either taken care of. Have had the same gaming plus max series from MSI but a x470 - so should perform great as a dual boot system as before, with win11 & win7. Just harder to find these days. Or can go for it with the Ryzen 3rd gen CPU. Good to have the options according for usage needs.

Great cooler + fans!

Overall Review: Great quality build - Very good cooling, more than enough for a older system refurb - but also a bit less in height profile than the peerless assassin I was looking at, in case anyone concerned with height issues.

Exceptional Case! - lovin it....

Sama Neview 2351 White Dual USB3.0 and Type C Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/ 4 x 120mm ARGB Fans (3 x MB Side, 1 x Rear) Pre-Installed
Sama Neview 2351 White Dual USB3.0 and Type C Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/ 4 x 120mm ARGB Fans (3 x MB Side, 1 x Rear) Pre-Installed

Pros: Quick & easy removal of panels Roomy for building and airflow (and venting on bottom panel) I/O ports are modular - leave mounted on side - or can move to top of case MB install a snap - really like the recessed top standoffs supplied - MB locks in before mounting Of course sturdy glass panels & head-start with included fans

Cons: No huge issue - but there is a magnetic filter on the bottom panel which is great - but.... it was made with a cut-through hole to match the cable access hole in the case - therefore when cables run through - can't just quickly remove/replace the filter - so I just cut a small piece from the edge to allow for taking on and off.

Overall Review: Well built sturdy case, easy access and good space for cable management Definitely recommend this case! Cost is decent when considering fans/control hub included also

Very Handy item!

Overall Review: Not a lot to say - but definitely a handy c-port option without a lot of hassle. Quick install interface and presto! - c-port front panel access. May not be the 100% speed but is still enough to use the port "until" other means.

Great option for a fax setup.....

US Robotics 56K USB Soft Modem - Fax/Modem (USR5639)

Pros: The modem works great - had a previous US Robotics model that got damaged by electrical storm - and replaced it with this one. One thing to note - if someone has used a previous model, make sure that any previous driver(s) or files are uninstalled before activating the newer one. Helps in preventing any driver or performance glitches.

Cons: Not really a con - just a note on my personal experience. Had a issue with fax being verified as sent, but not received by other party. The PC it was installed on still had remnants of a previous modem model driver - so cleaned those up and manually installed the driver zip package from US Robotics and that resolved the problem.

Overall Review: Have had great user experience with these in the past and definitely recommend!
