Most Critical Review

Good, then failed.

COOLMAX CUG-950B 950W ATX12V v2.3 EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified / CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC and Compatible with Core i3/i5/i7 Power Supply
COOLMAX CUG-950B 950W ATX12V v2.3 EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified / CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC and Compatible with Core i3/i5/i7 Power Supply

Pros: Worked fine for about 5 months. Modular cables keep the case clean. Nice looking black finish and mesh design. Quiet. Lead free.

Cons: Cables are stiff. Plugs are a little hard to use. Began making a clicking sound then overheated about a month later. RMAd so we'll see about the new one.

Overall Review: Worked great hopefully new one doesnt fail. Im a little nervous adding a second 4870 using this PSU however. It has the power but will it hold up.

Better than I expected.

Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Great for mid level gaming computers or just high quality all around computers. Lots of cooling, has two 120mm front optional fan mounts and 120mm side mount. Easy to work on and has good space. Simple, easy to use front panel. Lots of room for hiding cables.

Cons: The only thing I dont like is the headphone jack allows the wire to interfere with the CD drive. But routing the wire over top of the case solves this.

Overall Review: A great budget case that does everything well.

Pros: Very fast, does the job. Good for older AGP platforms

Cons: The stock fan on this thing is terrible. Mine glitched like crazy. Replaced with a Zalman cooler and it works fine now.

Overall Review: Make sure you cool this thing down or you might have problems. The stock fan is a joke. and very loud.
