flawless
Pros: - perfect performance over past 6 months
Cons: - none
Fine for a few months
Cons: These lasted for about four months before the bearings went on both of them. RMA'ing and hoping that the next batch won't have the same problem
Overall Review: fine with a Phanteks build, but these require an adapter if you're using them with anything else I believe
All things considered not bad. Just needs a Van Halen sticker.
Pros: - spacious - good airflow - decent cable management - tons of screws included
Cons: - plastics a bit flimsy - would have liked top mount PSU - PSU not isolated - poor manual - side "window" looks dumb
Overall Review: If you've read this far you've gotten over the outrageous looks of this thing. I got this for my 10 year old son (he loved it) for his first PC and it was not too hard to work in. It was definitely better than my old case, but not as good as my Cougar. It's fine for what it does and what it does do it does fairly well for the price. Plenty of drive bays and cages which are all toolless, but the plastic trays seem very flimsy. Lots of room for fans, and I replaced the rear fan with an Arctic Cooling one as the OEM one seemed loud. I would have preferred to have the PSU isolated but oh well. The perforated side "window" is too silly looking to be "industrial" but hey it adds to the airflow.
Worked for 3 years, waiting on RMA
Pros: - was fairly reliable
Cons: - went overboard with connections, leads to a tangled mess of unused wire - fairly noisy - died after 3 years
Overall Review: After it started making noise a month ago I requested an RMA, never heard back. It's now dead and I resubmitted my RMA. Still no word. It may not be worth it to return it after shipping costs. Went with a modular Seasonic on a different build and it's glorious.
So far so good
Pros: - modular system helped me get rid of the spaghetti monster in my case - very quiet - great deal with rebate
Cons: - manual could be a bit better - some of the connections were a bit hard to make due to cable stiffness
Overall Review: I bought this to replace my aging Thermaltake Smart 750W PSU which was getting noisy. I didn't realize how noisy it was really until I got this. Even when it was working well the Thermaltake had audible fan noise. This unit is silent. It was a little confusing getting the main connector cable in place and the documentation is pretty scarce, but you figure it out pretty quick. I have not had this product long so I can't comment on its longevity. However Seasonic has a great reputation so I'm crossing my fingers and giving a good recommendation.
Perfect
Pros: -built a new system and this replaced BOTH my FX6350 and Radeon HD5850. I do mostly casual gaming and thought I may need a discrete graphics card still with this but so far I'm able to play what I want without issue -cooler is great for stock
Cons: -none unless you wanted a prettier LED cooler
not as described, waste of money
Item listed as "A" quality however had very clear gouge on the screen. The metal stand was thrown in the box with no packing so that may have damaged the screen. Had to pay for return shipping and restocking.
