Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid-Tower Gaming PC Computer Case, Expansion Ready: Internal 3.5" Bays & External 5.25" Bays, 3 Pre-installed Fans with Side Fan Mount Option

Pros: Really solid case, fans all work great. Had this case for over a year, and it's held up fine.

Cons: Fans are a little noisy for the size.

Overall Review: Not too sure how much wear and tear cases usually get, but mine looks as good as the day I bought it.

Pros: The computer looks cool, and came packaged very well

Cons: It didn't work

Overall Review: I bought this a couple weeks back now, and unfortunately this company did not test the product before it was shipped to me. It all came packaged very well, and there was no damage to any components or the box it came in. The GPU was artifacting and was unusable. It does not look like it was damaged during transit the card was likely defective out of the box since this type of issue is caused by an issue with the memory on the GPU. I did not receive any type of certificate or document showing it was tested like with most expensive items. There was no card the person that tested the system signed or initialed to show it was tested. Now I have to wait another 10 days for them to exchange the GPU they didn't test. They will process the exchange which I am grateful for but at this price there should not have been any issues. I told them I needed this for an editing project I am working on, they would not replace it until I sent the card back, and they will not do any type of expedited shipping. I am not confident in the product I purchased if the GPU didn't get tested then I can't help but wonder what else wasn't tested. Hopefully when I receive the GPU the computer will actually work.

Awesome processor

Intel Core i7-2600 - Core i7 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 2000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I72600
Intel Core i7-2600 - Core i7 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Intel HD Graphics 2000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I72600

Pros: I've been using this processor for over a year now, and it's still perfect. More than enough power for what I need.

Cons: Docked an egg because the heatsink really is bad. Mine didn't break, but there are better ones out there for pretty cheap.

Overall Review: Great processor for the money.

zip ties

Pros: Every zip tie I would need for the rest of my life.

Cons: Cutter tool is garbage.

Overall Review: Worth it

Nice PSU

Pros: I've had this for over a year now, and I haven't had a single power issue. It has all the connections I need, and then some.

Cons: The only con is how long the 8 pin CPU power connector is. It's not long enough to run behind the motherboard.

Overall Review: Minus an egg for the length of the 8 pin CPU connector, but otherwise the best PSU in this price point.

Less expensive option, but not cheap

Foxconn Z68A-S LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Foxconn Z68A-S LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I've been using this board for over a year now. I use it with my Intel i7 Sandy Bridge and GTX570, and it's has performed great.

Cons: Board is pretty thin, always worries me when I'm working on it.

Overall Review: The board is great, and the only reason I need to upgrade is because it only comes with 1 PCI-E slot. Not docking an egg for that though, that's more of a preference issue.
