Cooler Master Centurion 541 RC-541-SKN1 Black Aluminum bezel, SECC chassis Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master Centurion 541 RC-541-SKN1 Black Aluminum bezel, SECC chassis Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case

Pros: Looks pretty good. Does its job (stand/hold things up and not fall down). I buy quiet/fanless components so little to no noise issues for me.

Cons: I've built two two computers with this case. On one case the on/off power button is loose and has fallen off a time or two. On BOTH cases, one of the bottom USB slots has broken. I can be rough with it sometimes, but its happened on both cases and I've never had it happen before.

Overall Review: Would probably use again.

Pros: No fan, no noise, less dust! Solidly built, good heat movement. Wrapped cables reduce clutter.

Cons: None! (Could be cheaper, it never hurts!)

Overall Review: Heavy but its expected... the heat has to go somewhere...

Pretty Decent

Brother HL Series HL-2040 Personal Up to 20 ppm Monochrome LPT / USB Laser Printer
Brother HL Series HL-2040 Personal Up to 20 ppm Monochrome LPT / USB Laser Printer

Pros: Cheap, low profile, quick and easy to install/use. Quite power save-mode. Can print A LOT of pages really cheaply!

Cons: - Kind of low printing resolution (some lines on datasheets and flow charts don't print). - Paper curls, but its not bad if you put the extender out before printing. -Takes a lot of current, so light and other electronics throw a small fit when it prints.

Overall Review: - Overall really happy given for what I paid for it (~$50 with rebate). - Probably should have gotten one networking built in.
