Most Favorable Review

Lots of bang for your buck

GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 (WiFi AC) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Packed with features, including front USB C header, nice layout, and Wifi. Easy install. Onboard LEDs provide a lot of light.

Cons: BIOS isn't the prettiest thing I've ever seen, but it gets the job done. BIOS updater ran a long time without any feedback. While it did complete successfully, it was concerning after 5 minutes of nothing apparently happening.

Overall Review: Would definitely buy again, there's a lot of value for your dollar here compared to competitors. Board was easy to work with during install, and has been rock solid.

Excellent Quiet Case

Pros: It's nondescript and quiet, exactly as advertised. You can put it in a room with other people and they'll barely notice it's there. Comes with 3 large case fans that will be plenty for a lot of builds, and has room for several more. Has an optical drive bay, which is removable if you don't want it. Dust filters are easy to remove and clean, including the one on the bottom for the PSU (and an optional fan). Build quality is excellent. It feels sturdy.

Cons: I find the PSU shroud more annoying than useful and the instructions don't explain how to remove it (not sure if you can). Cable management paths make some of the cables a pretty tight fit, although they did all fit.

Overall Review: Did a build with this case today. It passed the most important test: my wife can barely hear it at all. It was pretty easy to work inside and had clearance for a big Noctura cooler, so that's nice. If you need something that will give you decent airflow while being quiet and fitting nicely into a room, you should get this case.

Good

There was some confusion with the order, in that I got a tracking number unrelated to the actual shipping so I thought it was coming earlier than it was. The seller sorted that out for me when I contacted them, and everything was good after that. Would buy from them again.
