Most Critical Review

Cheap and Big

RAIDMAX Elite ATX-208B Black 0.7mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
RAIDMAX Elite ATX-208B Black 0.7mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Big and cheap.

Cons: 1st one came to me in pieces. Called Newegg and they promptly got another shipped out to me. 2nd arrived in proper order. As I started pulling the case apart some of the tabs broke very easily. I was able to get around the missing tabs, but the case is flimsy. What do you expect for the price though.

Overall Review: Would recommend getting a little higher quality if you can afford. If not use extreme caution and you should be fine.

AMD Athlon X2 4850e - Athlon X2 Dual-Core 2.5 GHz Socket AM2 45W Processor - ADH4850DOBOX

Pros: For the price you can't beat it. I have overclocked and hit > 3Ghz without any voltage increase or anything other than a stock cooler. I am most interested in quiet and therefore I keep it clocked stock. Runs cool with OEM heatsink and the fan is quiet.

Cons: wasn't free
