Better than Expected

DIYPC Vanguard-RGB Black Dual USB3.0 Steel/ Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/Tempered Glass Panels (Front and Both Sides) and Pre-Installed 4 x RGB LED Fans (7 Different Color in 3 Mode Control)
DIYPC Vanguard-RGB Black Dual USB3.0 Steel/ Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/Tempered Glass Panels (Front and Both Sides) and Pre-Installed 4 x RGB LED Fans (7 Different Color in 3 Mode Control)

Pros: This case looks really good. The cable management is excellent. There is a lot of room in it. Worked perfectly with the AMD Aurora thing. The fans look like vortexes, and can be many colors. This case will last a long time, and looks great.

Overall Review: Plenty of room in this beast. I would use this case again. I would have no qualms recommending this case. Works nicely with AMD's color thing.

Super-Cool However

SilverStone RAVEN Series RV05B-W Black Plastic outer shell, steel body ATX / Micro ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Looks cool and great air-flow. Smaller than other Raven(s). Nice slide-out-no-tool Dust Filter. Easy to get into.

Cons: HDD space versus PSU. I went for a modular PSU, which is slightly too long for the (decent) HDD bays. No room on the very right makes extra large CPU heatsinks more complicated, but they fit.

Overall Review: Just needs some more room behind the Motherboard Tray for HDD Mount. Or; more vertical height. I am using an external enclosure for my HDD. This makes a great long-time case. It gives the ability to fully strip and wash with ease. All the fans are replaceable. Is superior to any other case for the price.

Crummy

XFX GeForce 9600 GSO 1GB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card PVT96OZDFU
XFX GeForce 9600 GSO 1GB GDDR2 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card PVT96OZDFU

Pros: Copper heat-sink, 1gig, looks nice, single six pin connector. Two great games. Nice packaging.

Cons: Driver disk, was useless for 64bit Vista. My 8600GTS works better, and has higher windows score on gaming and business performance. I see interference in my display with this card. DDR 2

Overall Review: I tried the driver from XFX, and the windows driver. Same thing really. Would have been happy without the interference. At least I know a guy with a smaller display I can gift it to. I should have gone for a better card. I was really hoping it would be a good fit for my HTPC.

Controller May Price higher

Pros: I get higher jumps! It is a friendly design, that has taught this console junky how to ride on a game pc. Cost is relative to a wired 360 hook up.

Cons: Buy the one with a mouse for a marginal amount, and optimal reward for the fiat dough. Vendors I demand new games now.

Overall Review: Media controls are a plus too, no batteries tee he tee he. You dished what for a what and you gonna chump on a nice ride?
