Decent for the money

Rosewill R5601-BK 0.8mm Japanese Cold Rolled Steel  Screw-less Dual 120mm Fans ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Rosewill R5601-BK 0.8mm Japanese Cold Rolled Steel Screw-less Dual 120mm Fans ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Screwless design; dual 120mm fans; nice front panel connectors. Good internal cable length for the front panel connections, easy to run to almost anywhere on the motherboard. Easy access to the hard drives, and their bay is right behind the front intake fan.

Cons: There is a bay for a floppy drive, to be mounted at the top of the case, just below the front panel. The mount occurs well inside the front bezel, so there is a plastic LED lens and an eject button extender built into the case. But if you don't install a floppy drive, there's a gaping hole at the top of your case, backlit from the power LED on the front panel, and it looks terrible. The screwless design extends all the way to include no screws on PCI/expansion bay slots, and the mechanism doesn't hold them particularly tightly. This means that if you want to mount something that doesn't connect to a motherboard slot (for example an external SATA connector panel), it will feel extremely loose and awkward to use. It's nice that both the 3.5" and 5.25" drive bays use rail mounts to slide in and lock in place, but those rails are also screweless, so they don't actually secure to the drive. When inserting or removing a drive, you have to be careful about holding the rails onto the

Overall Review: The CPU fan duct doesn't quite line up with my CPU, but I guess it works well enough. Pretty nice case for the price.

Terrible piece of junk

Headset for Snom 320-370-720- 1122
Headset for Snom 320-370-720- 1122

Pros: Comes with handy hook with adhesive backing so you can hang the headset on the wall. Decently comfortable.

Cons: The other party sounds terrible in your ear. You sound terrible to them. Plus a fair bit of echo (it's a headset, how do you get echo???).

Overall Review: The Snom 320 phone is great, both handset and speakerphone. Why is this headset so terrible? I don't get it. Returned the same day it arrived.
