Awesome Case / Rushed Manufacturing.

Thermaltake Tower 900 Black Tempered Glass Fully Modular E-ATX Vertical Super Tower Chassis CA-1H1-00F1WN-00
Thermaltake Tower 900 Black Tempered Glass Fully Modular E-ATX Vertical Super Tower Chassis CA-1H1-00F1WN-00

Pros: This makes a great display and is exactly the case I have been looking for. Much bigger than I expected. Love the smoked tempered glass, and the solid metal knobs are a nice touch. There is a lot of room for wiring, tubes, and much more. They even give your a free pezo-speaker when not even a motherboard comes with one. Magnetic removable vent-screens are nice, tho i would have preferred a more fine charcoal filer as I live in a very dusty climate.

Cons: Very Much Rushed Manufacturing. Over half of the screws were either stripped, put in at an angle, or bent. I had to drill out 2 screws just to remove the back panel. Even though the manual had diagrams, it needs more information. It could be much better with explaining how the parts come off. The PSU mounting bracket could be closer to the back panel. There is about 1/2 inch gap.

Overall Review: Be more careful when assembling the case. Use better quality screws. Improve manual and instructions.

Works but No Backlight

Genuine Toshiba Satellite A660 A660D A665 A665D Laptop Keyboard
Genuine Toshiba Satellite A660 A660D A665 A665D Laptop Keyboard

Pros: I have a Toshiba A665D and this fits and works great. Looks just like the original

Cons: This one IS NOT BACK-LIT as the original keyboard was. Just keep that in mind if you are looking for the original back-lit version.

Overall Review: Overall, this keyboard is great if you are just looking to replace and have a functional keyboard.

Easy to Use

Arctic Silver Arcticlean Thermal material Remover & Surface Purifier ACN-60ML (2-PC-SET)
Arctic Silver Arcticlean Thermal material Remover & Surface Purifier ACN-60ML (2-PC-SET)

Pros: Does its job, and does it very well. Just one or two drops works perfectly. Just enough to lightly cover the paste. Wait a couple minutes and carefully wipe off with a cotton-tip swab. Try not to wipe the paste onto the side of the processor, makes it more difficult to fully remove. Dry up any remaining paste and wetness. Use the purifier to clean any extra marks and make sure the surface is shiny.

Cons: It is a wee-bit messy if you use even a little to much on the paste. While it does make it easier to remove, it also tends to turn it into a muddy substance that takes a while to fully wipe off.

Overall Review: Would be great if there was some sort of tool to use. Something like a small flat surface to use as type of squeegee or scoop.

Why Buy Anything Else?

Velcro 91140 Reusable Self-Gripping Cable Ties, 1/2 x Eight Inches, Black, 100 Ties/Pack

Pros: GREAT Item. You get almost tripple the strips at a cheaper price. Works perfectly and even has a slot to more perminantly strap it to a single wire. Helps to not loose it on the floor or under racks.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I prefer these over plastic zip ties. Its much safer and delicate to wires where zip ties are difficult to remove and can damage a cable over time. Great Youtube review of this exact item can be found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2S5v49MeoE
