Most Favorable Review
NZXT H2 H2-001-BK Black Steel / Plastic Classic Silent ATX Mid Tower Chassis
NZXT H2 H2-001-BK Black Steel / Plastic Classic Silent ATX Mid Tower Chassis

Pros: - Very Quiet - Great Layout - Love the top mounted USB ports - Easy to install in

Cons: - Bright LED on front bottom

Overall Review: Favorite case ever. Wanted something quiet but under $100 and this fit the bill wonderfully.

Beautiful Product

Fractal Design Terra Jade Mini-ITX Small Form Factor PC Case with PCIe 4.0 Riser
Fractal Design Terra Jade Mini-ITX Small Form Factor PC Case with PCIe 4.0 Riser

Pros: Gorgeous design and look, especially the jade one. Heat dissipates nicely through copious vents. Lovely small form factor saves a ton of space. Manual was nicely presented.

Cons: None really, perhaps an old-school headphone jack on the front would have been nice. If any of your components have RGB lights, make sure you want them or find a way to mitigate them, the slots in the case will let a lot of light out.

Overall Review: I've been building my own PCs since 2002, this is by far the nicest case I've every used. This is also my first SFF (small form factor) PC. I was a little worried to be honest that it would be difficult to make it work, but it was not. Case was very easy to work with and install went smoothly. Highly recommended.

Not bad for $25

Creative D80 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, Black
Creative D80 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, Black

Pros: - Price - Decent Sound - No batteries to worry about (could be a con I suppose if you wanted a mobile unit)

Cons: - Highest volume isn't as loud as a lot of people probably want

Overall Review: Bought to stream music to my garage/workshop and didn't want to spend a lot of money. Overall I'm very satisfied so far, it may not win awards for sound quality but it's not bad and is totally sufficient for my needs. Although I listed max volume as a con, I should mention that I can not play it at max volume setting with my garage door open without worrying about bothering the neighbors. Assuming there are no problems with it due to it being a refurb, I would certainly recommend to someone looking for a solid, if basic, bluetooth speaker for under $25.

Extremely Pleased

Polk Audio Monitor60 Series II Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black) Single
Polk Audio Monitor60 Series II Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black) Single

Pros: Great sound quality (mine are paired with a Yamaha V867 AVR, which is a higher mid-quality consumer level receiver). I think my wife was going to be upset that I got these for our new house until she heard them.

Cons: If space is tight, know that these and most other floorstanding speakers are not small! That said, we managed to fit them into a pretty small living room no problem.

Overall Review: I've not owned a lot of good quality home audio equipment before, and I'm certainly no audiophile, but these sound great, very clear, not overly bright. Extremely pleased with them, especially considering the price. I expect to still be using these in 20 years or so, unless there is some amazing revolution in speaker technology before then.
