APEVIA X-JUPITER S-Type X-JUPITERS-BL Blue Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
APEVIA X-JUPITER S-Type X-JUPITERS-BL Blue Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Huge and I like it. This case is so big and has so much space I might move in with my parts inside. You access every part without bending your hand six different ways. The fold out stabilizers on the bottom (it has fold out stabilizers?) make it extra sturdy.

Cons: cons, what cons?

Overall Review: snapping in the parts was nice and easy with the screwless system.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes

Pros: Install was a breeze. -Instead of a million brackets in a bag it was one bracket fits all. -Clip on fans. More clips if you want to add another fan. It's quick and easy to add or take a fan off. -Large but slender enough to fit. Although it's tall I'm sure it can fit in basically any case you wanted it to go in. -Cools like a champ. CPU temp dropped about 20 degrees from when I was using the stock heatsink. When playing games it's nearly 30 degrees cooler.

Cons: You don't have one yet.

Overall Review: The fan that comes with it is weak but it does the job. It's at about 500-600 RPM. Heatsink is still cool to the touch.

Pros: Big gaming screen. Big enough to watch movies or tv on. Bright, brilliant, solid color. All the bells and whistles. Unbeatable price. No dead pixels.

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: Best monitor ever. Buy it now.

GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Tossed it in, screw it down, boot it up 'n go. Easiest setup I've ever done. It currently holds my X2 6000 and goes ally the way to the newest phenom II quad cores. The most flexibility you will find at this price. The sound quality is perfect. More USB ports you would need for 3 computers on one board.

Cons: none.

Overall Review: Sometimes my mic on Vent sounds like I'm in a cave or fusses out. And the lay out of the board looks like legos.

lovein' it

XCLIO Windtunnel Fully Black Finish 1.0 mm SECC Chassis ATX Full Tower Computer Case
XCLIO Windtunnel Fully Black Finish 1.0 mm SECC Chassis ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case is perfect if you don't have any room restrictions. I like to call it the armored truck of cases. The 250mm fans are basically silent, even when turned all the way up. The tool less is great. Cable management is the best ever, everything is tucked away or tied up neat.

Cons: One and only thing is the tool less video card holder has little prongs to fit single slot cards. The prong comes down into my 8800 hitting something inside. Nothing big I just used screws instead.

Overall Review: Heavy but it's expected. The fan speed difference isn't much so I keep it full blast. No stock 120mm exhaust fan so I stole one out of my old comp and now it's exhausting cool air at me.
