Antec NSK1480 Black / Silver Steel Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 350W 80 PLUS Certified Power Supply
Antec NSK1480 Black / Silver Steel Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 350W 80 PLUS Certified Power Supply

Pros: nice looking case with minimal face bays and plugs. Almost exactly what I was looking for. Typical Antec quality with nice fittings and go construction. install was fairly easy with the anticipated wire and fitting issues that come along with a case this small. Nothing terribly frustrating. super tight fit with by MOBO GA-MA785GPM

Cons: I agree that the gray face was a mistake. too 179070's looking. Luckily I won my own sign company and cut out a matte black vinyl fascia for the front. Now it only has a slick gray pin-line on the face. Much nicer.

Overall Review: an option for a black face would have been nice. seems weird that is not so.

Hitachi GST Deskstar HD31000 IDK/7K (0S00163) 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Retail

Pros: cheap

Cons: DOA with a broken SATA clip. Neweggg gave me an estimated 10-14 days before I would see a replacement. This after buying my entire new build from them. First time ever bad experience with this company. It won't sour me on future purchases, but it still sucks. ended up buying a WD Black at Fries as a replacement.

Overall Review: seems that newegg should have an option to put a hold on a credit card to send out a replacement product on an RMA, like so many other companies do. This was we don't have to wait weeks for replacements..especially for a hard drive. who can not use their computers for two weeks?

Pros: awesome, fast, durable, reliable burns. easy install. slick all-black face with logos in black so they are not the obnoxious white. looked great in my new blcak case.

Cons: none
