Swiss Precimax SP12141

Pros: Good looks, great price. Good all-around value.
Cons: The movement does not quite live up to the look and feel of the watch. These are MINOR issues, and I still think the watch is a good value, but... - The watch loses about 2-3 seconds per week. - The second hand (not a sweep movement) is not indexed to the face of the watch - it 'ticks' half-way between the second markings.
Overall Review: This watch is an undeniable value, but if you want a top-quality timepiece, you'll need to look elsewhere (and pay a lot more).
Good "Budget" Case

Pros: 1. Good construction quality (great when you consider the price). 2. Room for three 120mm fans (comes with one) and one 80mm fan (two if you mount one in place of the side CPU duct). 3. Motherboard tray has cable openings, and there's plenty of space behind the tray to run cables out of the way.
Cons: 1. Front-panel USB ports are inoperative. I confirmed proper connection to the MB header, and tried other headers to rule out a MB problem. And expansion-slot ports work fine when connected to the MB headers. The problem may be related to the front-panel design - the USB and audio ports are all part of the same module, and its size squeezes the cables into a sharp 90-degree turn where they exit. 2. Rosewill runs ALL the front-panel cables through a rail next to the externally-accessible 3.5" drive cage. The cables come out right in the middle of the case, above the front center of the MB. The front (metal) face of the case has a cable opening that feeds into the space between the right-side panel and the back of the MB tray, but there's no way to run the cables to this opening without interfering with the front air filter assembly. I had to cut, smooth, and grommet a hole in the back side of the aforementioned rail to get the cables behind the MB tray.
Overall Review: 1. Got this case because my desktop case couldn't take the CPU and VGA coolers I got for Christmas. No space issues at all with this case. 2. I spend a LOT of time on my system builds, carefully routing cables to maximize airflow through the case. I'm keeping this case simply because I don't want to disassemble and rebuild the system again. That said, I can still recommend this case, assuming my USB problem is an anomaly. The case is a great value, especially if you're not too worried about routing your front-panel cables.
Great display, but.....

Pros: Beautiful display; high refresh. G-Sync automatically detected and enabled on startup.
Cons: Black lines after one month. Slow, cumbersome support process.
Overall Review: If I had rated this monitor within my first month of ownership, I would have given it 5 eggs. But, just after my Newegg return window expired, the monitor developed two black lines, running edge to edge, near the bottom of the display. I had no luck reaching anybody I could talk to at Envision Peripherals Inc, so I submitted a support request on line. The next day, I received an RMA and a shipping label, so I promptly sent my monitor - in the original packing, with all included cables and cords - off to EPI. Then I had to leave the country for work for a couple of months.... About 3 weeks after EPI received my monitor and sent a replacement, they sent me an e-mail explaining that they had sent me a G2460PF Free-Sync monitor by mistake; they also updated the RMA and sent me another shipping label. So, as soon as I returned to the USA, I sent the incorrect monitor back to EPI. That monitor, and ITS replacement that I received today, were both in plain brown boxes that almost screamed REMANUFACTURED, although there was nothing on the boxes that indicated such. I refer to the second replacement unit in the past tense, because when I opened that plain brown box and slid the monitor out, I was greeted with the red bezel of yet another G2460PF! So as I write this, I'm in the 48-hour waiting period during which I should receive a reply to my latest support request. If they can manage to figure out the difference between their G-Sync and Free-Sync models this time around, I will gladly update the rating to reflect the G-Sync monitor I hope to receive.
