Azzitude doesn't know what he's saying

Thermaltake ARMOR A30 VM70001W2Z Black SECC Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case
Thermaltake ARMOR A30 VM70001W2Z Black SECC Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case

Pros: As stated by everyone else except Azzitude

Cons: Just becuase this case is micro-ATX does not mean it's not for gaming? You don't need a big case for it to be considered a gaming case. Thermaltake did a great job of making this case look like a gaming case by putting agressive features on it such as the indents and LEDs. Good luck bringing a case like the MK-1 to a LAN party. This is why smaller cases were invented. To make things protable. Who says gaming PCs have to stay stationary? Your logic makes no sense.

Small detail, big problem

BitFenix Prodigy Arctic White Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case
BitFenix Prodigy Arctic White Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case

Pros: Everything about this case astonishes me. The portability, dependability, versatile, and just the sheer beauty of it.

Cons: There is only ONE problem I have with this case regarding the power supply cage. How does BitFenix expect you to route modular power supply cables through the case if there is a wall covering the back end of the PSU cage? Even with the hard drive bay taken out (I only use 1 240 GB SSD) there is still NO room to put my cables through. BitFenix is just plain dumb right here. Not everyone has a cheap, non modular PSU. I'm using a SeaSonic X-850. There is NO way to get my modular cables through, especially since my PSu is 150mm deep. Way to impress, Bitfenix......

Ringing noise :(

SeaSonic X Series X-850 (SS-850KM3 Active PFC F3) 850W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS 12V v2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Everything about a SeaSonic + the 80 PLUS GOLD rating.

Cons: There is a ringing noise when I turn it on, when I turn it off the the frequency ecomes higher until it cuts out. Very annoying on boot up.

THE BEAST

HyperX Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model KHX24C11T3K2/16X
HyperX Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model KHX24C11T3K2/16X

Pros: *Nice looking heat spreader *2400Mhz *Made by Kingston (Pro for me :) *Black

Cons: *Price? (Wasn't an issue for me)

Overall Review: Don't be alarmed be the CAS Latency. If you're gonna be using this for gaming (like I am) It is always better to go for higher speeds. This thing is a BEAST!!!
