A good case for the cost.

NZXT M59 - 001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
NZXT M59 - 001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Sleek and nice looking case. I like the overall layout of the case, and with a little cramming cable management worked well. Great airflow, and plenty of space for drives. The blue led lighting adds a nice touch. This case seems sturdy, and fairly well built. Plenty of spaces for fans.

Cons: A little tight for liquid cooling. I got a corsair h100 to go with this case. At first I thought it wasn't going to fit. It took a bit of work, but after I drilled a couple holes for mounting I managed to squeeze it in. The issue is that with a full ATX motherboard the ram and the top portion of the motherboard interfere with the space for the radiator. I had to slightly offset the radiator toward the outside (the windowed side panel) of the case to get it to fit, requiring that i drill a few extra holes to mount it too. It was workable, but takes a little extra effort to get it to fit right. Without the slight modification there was just no way. The bottom line.... If you want closed loop liquid cooling it may take a little drilling and tinkering with to get it in, but it is doable. The other thing is with the corsair h100 installed, i had to move my DVD drive to one of the lower drive bays because the cooling solution invades the top disk drive bay. Really, if you like the case, and don't mind a little tinkering for liquid cooling, go for it. But if you don't feel comfortable drilling holes in your case, it may be best to go with something else.

Overall Review: The Drive bay cover pieces are a little flimsy, not too bad, but I felt like if anything was to get broken in the case it would be these. By no means would it stop me from getting this case, or suggesting it to others, just be gentle and you'll be fine.

Glasses not here yet

Pink Floyd Graphic Pint 4-Pack
Pink Floyd Graphic Pint 4-Pack

Pros: They looked like some mighty cool glasses.

Cons: I ordered on Friday and it is Wed of the next week, i have tracking info, but it has yet to even be received by fed ex. Assuming I do eventually receive the glasses it wont be too big of a deal, just thought I would voice my distaste toward the delayed shipping. I am accustomed to newegg normally having lightning fast shipping and handling, I guess some of their partner companies aren't so devoted to quickly handling orders.

Overall Review: I'll update if there is any problem once I finally receive the glasses in question.

Pleaseantly Surprised

aigo AT240 240mm CPU Liquid Cooler AIO RGB Water Cooling System ARGB Radiator with 120mm PWM Fans for Intel LGA 1200/115X/20XX for AMD AM4/AM3+/AM3 Black

Pros: Nice feel and look to the setup Comes with some decent fans with ARGB, and a little controller The price is really good for what you get I was expecting less by the price.

Cons: Haven't really found anything yet, we'll see how the pump does. I've never seen an AIO with an In Line Pump, so I am holding on to my old cooler just in case.. But, it feels and sounds pretty solid, and the concept of an In line pump is in use in many other industries so It is possible for sure and should be quite legit if done right... Yet to see if it ends up a con.

Overall Review: Overall feels fairly solid and good quality. I got some extra fans just in case assuming they would be really bad since I got it for fairly cheap. But they actually have fairly nice fans. I'm interested to see how the in line pump works out. I haven't seen this feature before, so I wanted to give it a shot. It has been doing good so far, playing with some overclocks it seems to be doing totally fine for a 240mm. I can't fit any bigger. The heat plate is pretty big compared to the cooler I replaced, I was using an air cooler for an 1155 intel socket. Just got it installed but I wanted to put some good vibes out there because so far I've been impressed with the overall quality in general especially considering the low price. If it blows up on me unreasonably early I intend on updating my review.
