Most Favorable Review

Great customer service and sweet case

Rosewill CRUISER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Side Panel Window, comes with Four Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Top Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Rear 120mm Fan, 1x Side Blue LED 190mm Fan
Rosewill CRUISER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Side Panel Window, comes with Four Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Top Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Rear 120mm Fan, 1x Side Blue LED 190mm Fan

Pros: The case is nice looking and lots of fans for great cooling. See through side panel with huge side fan. Sweet blue light up stripes that remind me of the Tron movies. Lots of blue internal and fan lighting. The whole front panel are sectioned with dust filters for lots of aeration. Fairly roomy for those large video cards. (EVGA GTS 250) Ive owned it for 7 months and I am happy with it.

Cons: Lots of plastic parts that can get damaged in shipping or other. Hard to reuse the plastic cd/dvd mounting brackets. They wear out. Use them twice and maybe three times before they lose their grip.

Overall Review: I damaged the power button electronic board and I emailed rosewill tech support to ask where to get a replacement part. They promptly emailed me to let me know they would send me a new part for free! Thanks Rosewill! I will shop with you again.

Pros: The card works fine for movies.

Cons: April 15th was when I ordered it and sent off for my refund shortly after and I am still waiting. It is coming up on to 3 months now.

Nie little case but pricey

XION XON-720P mATX/ ITX Slim Desktop Case, USB 3.0, 5 in 1 Card-reader, 300W PSU, Black_Retail
XION XON-720P mATX/ ITX Slim Desktop Case, USB 3.0, 5 in 1 Card-reader, 300W PSU, Black_Retail

Pros: Compact. Has a nice front shiny cover, micro SD slot in memory card reader. 1 USB 3.0 slot, that can be used as a USB 2.0 slot instead. Fan and power supply included. Lots of case vents. Steel construction. A nice space saver.

Cons: Power plugin is not on the back like most cases. Its near the front which is annoying. Xion makes cases that do have the power in the back. Im not sure why they couldn't do it with this too. Power supply is 300watt which barely meets my power needs. I might upgrade to the xon el-450 450watt power supply since they are the same size and from same company. Again why couldn't they just go with a higher watt in the first place? Most systems demand more power these days. Especially is people want to upgrade. I plan to lay this tower on its side. I wish it had computer feet pads. Ill have to find my own somewhere. The instructions could be more detailed.

Overall Review: I just found out that Newegg has an Ebaay account and they are selling this case on there for $39 Free shipping as of March 2, 2013. I want to smack myself for not learning about it sooner. I could have saved $15. Thanks Newegg...

It's all about the USB header.

Pros: It's all about the internal USB header pins. Works like it should. I needed that extra header for my media card reader device because my other 2 motherboard headers were in use. This solved the problem. Decent price.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I wish they would make a pci card with only the usb header(s). I didn't need the extra usb ports. Or if there could be a USB splitter wire for the header on the mother board.

Patriot PBO Core Box Office All-in-one 1080p Full HD Media Player with HDMI PCMPBO25 Black
Patriot PBO Core Box Office All-in-one 1080p Full HD Media Player with HDMI PCMPBO25 Black

Pros: Plays mkv and divx. Reads most formats. Internal hard drive mountable. HDMI capable. RCA capable. Able to watch movies from USB thumb drive. Ethernet capable. USB plug in to my PC to edit internal drive files. remote control has lots of buttons. Wireless capable, if you buy the wifi adapter for it. No crashes so far. Vitually silent.

Cons: The interface doesnt look that great but its functional. There is an internal fan that seems useless since there is really no external vents.

Overall Review: I finally got my rebate of $25 on a credit card. So I did the rebate right. The processing of my rebate was fast. But the sending of my rebate was slow.

Pros: It works. The wires are removable, customizable.

Cons: Rebates take too long.

Overall Review: Finally I got my rebate. They say to wait 6 weeks. I waited 7 and then contacted them. They told me to wait another 2 weeks. Sometimes I wonder if they hope you forget and just wait for you to contact them before they take your rebate seriously.
