Frontrunner Part 2 Review

Pros: I already Reviewed below but wanted to share the e-mail I sent to Rosewill and I will post reply in other thoughts Hello, I recently purchased your Thor ATX Full Case. This case in my opinion is almost a great case. I did however receive the first case with the little plastic prongs broken that holds the top plate on. I was very disappointed because there are so many other things about this case that I love. I did an RMA with New Egg and they shipped out another one pretty quick. It was a good thing that they let me hold the 1st one till the new one arrived. The 2nd case arrived with the prongs broken on the front panel. I was able to create one good case between the two. I think if you guys would go back to the drawing board on these plastic prongs, this case would be great If you look in the comment section of Newegg on this case you will see that almost every one shipped is broken. I hope you do something because it really does have some great features and could be one of the bes
Cons: Plastic Clips For Front and Top Panel..... Broken when it arrives from shipping.

Update Review

Pros: I will understand if this is not posted. I just wanted to help people in the same situation. See Below To Fix "Lower Blade Not Working" only if your about to trash the toy and have given up. This will Get A Little More Time From It. I would only do this if you have no plans to try and return as I am sure it will VOID WARRANTY. This still don't address the RADIO CONTROLLER NOT WORKING CORRECTLY WHICH CAUSES THE CRASH. This stated by alot of the other reviews...... Again only do if you are not going to return and just want to play with it a little more. I still wont buy another one if its this cheap. I'm sure someone will say "Well what do you expect its cheap" I understood that but you would expect to get more than 3 flights before it stops working and no matter how cheap I still like to get money's worth on anything I buy.
Cons: FIX FOR THOSE WITH THE BOTTOM BLADE NOT WORKING after crash. Here is a fix to get some more time out of it. The controller is still junk but at least its not a paperweight after doing this....Don't do if you plan on fighting for a replacement as I'm sure it would finish voiding warranty. So only do this if you plan to keep........THE FIX.....Remove the small aluminum plate (On Off Switch Plate) from the side off the Helio. It has 6 tiny screws (Careful Not To Lose) Then drop the plate off the side. Let the stabilizer bar for tail wing just hang. You should now have access for the 2 small white gears that are supposed to line up with the 2 big black gears. You will see that the lower small white gear is off the big one. (Bottom Blade Gear) Take a small pick or any tool that you can carefully pry upward. Once you line it back up & centered put a SMALL DAB of superglue at the top and bottom of the gear. I did both on mine. Just put it back together and enjoy for a few more minutes....lol
Overall Review: As Stated in the last review. This is a no win situation. They wont take it back for a sign of crash. You cant help the crash if the Radio Controller is defective like lots of reviews shown here almost all say the same thing and seller say's no replacement after crash on its sight. Its a no win situation & I chose not to have a headache only to spend more money returning it....All the fix info above is just a suggestion and not a guarantee to work. It worked great for me and I just wanted to help others possibly get more play time out of the unit but only if your about to throw it away and give up. I also want to state everything I said is my OPINION only and I am not trying to hurt anyone. I was just being truthful and I am by trade an Engineer so I do things like this daily. I actually love fixing things. If Newegg deletes I understand I am just trying to be helpful in a bad situation... Thanks
Cool Novelty Item

Pros: I purchased two of them mostly because I thought they looked really cool. I didn't expect much being 2.0 and the cheap price but I was actually surprised with the construction. The outer body is metal and the slide out connection is plastic. They look like baby hard drives when the connector is pulled in. I had a feeling they would be more a cool novelty item than anything
Cons: I purchased two and within a month I had one still working. The body being metal was a plus and when not retracted they are very durable but the connector being plastic is the weak point. I found that out the first time I tapped it while it was plugged into my computer. That one never worked again. The 2.0 is a negative but I knew what I was getting so my rating don't reflect this as an issue.
Overall Review: If you just want a cool novelty item that will also work as storage in a pinch then by all means buy one. If your looking for something you can trust with important data stay away from these! Once its plugged in be very careful hitting against the side of it with anything. If you want something fast don't buy this then complain its a 2.0 because it says that in the title. You get what you pay for these days but I guess some forget that fact. I didn't hate them even after the one died. I still think they look cool for the money and its a conversation starter if nothing else when sitting on my desk..... lol
Insane For The Price A+

Pros: Its 12 Gigs For A Great Price! It was a flawless install with my ASUS Motherboard just as the web-sight said it would be!...... Set 1600MHZ 9-9-9-27-88-2T Its overkill but who cares with the prices for Ram these days.
Cons: None!
Overall Review: If you have problems after install. You didn't check compatibility! I just love people that rate a product bad because they didn't do the proper research and these same people always rate themselves High Tech Knowledge........(Basics 101)
Cant Go Wrong

Pros: Well I cant say much that hasn't already been said....lol..... I can say that this is one fast CPU and for the cost It should be. The overclocking ability is very good and has very easy to use BIOS setting to accomplish overclocking for the new and technical advanced people. I takes on anything I throw at it without even a strain. I am usually a AMD man 100% when building a gaming unit. This was the first Intel I have purchased for a gaming build since 1993 & I don't regret the purchase. I remember when I was looking at this CPU and reading everyone else's comments about how Sandy was coming out soon and to hold out. I don't regret and I don't think Sandy lived up to i the hype in what I have seen from it. I have experienced both and I will stick with the I7
Cons: The only one is PRICE! ......... Come on are the customers the only ones than know there is a recession. Throw Us A Bone Here!
Overall Review: This CPU combined with equal quality hardware makes for one of the most powerful units out right now if you have a high budget. If not and you plan to go with a cheap motherboard, memory & video. This ones is not for you and you should pick one that you can at least spend the same on a motherboard with at least 8 Gigs of memory.
Better Than Most

Pros: Looks nice with bright colors on the panel screen. Its a touch screen that works 95% of the time you touch it. It has an extra sensor wire/lead in case you break one. This is the first time I have seen this and have installed many of these. It works as advertised and is better than most I have tried. It has 1 x e-SATA & 2 x USB 2.0 plug ins on the front. It also has a mic & headphone plug on the front if you want to bother hooking it up. The lock and alarm function works. The sensor leads are not wired into the unit. The plug in and is a must if you are looking at one to install. I would purchase this one again if I needed one at a good price.
Cons: It has the typical little wire sensors that come with all these types of units and they never stay in place with the provided tape. The leads are also somewhat fragile if trying to run them through case holes or tight spots. It is a better than average unit for the price though.
Overall Review: Its not the best out there or even close to the worse. Its the best one for the money I could find and comes standard with several options that most in the higher range don't have. I would buy again if I needed one at a cheaper price.
9808 Mini Gyro Helicopter Junk
STAY AWAY!...My mom always told me if "if you have nothing nice to say" Just keep it to yourself. I was going to do that but I got e-mails asking to review. It works ok until the radio controller loses contact within range and makes it crash. Once it crashed 2 or 3 times the gears get misaligned and the lower blades wont work. I started to send back for a replacement. I came here and read other reviews then decided it was a waste of time to do so. I read where others had problems and sent back only to be told the product did not work dude to crashing. I figured if I sent mine back I would have the same fate. I wont waste another dime on this toy only to be told its broke because I crashed it. Even though the crash was dude to the radio control. I also checked the battery's (They Were Fine) I changed them out with fresh anyway. (Same Problem) Tried other channel. (No Good) My son never even got to play with it. I decided to box it up and not temp him with something that will break
