Good enough
Pros: This is a great buy for a cheap laptop/notebook. It has a lot of space in it for carrying extra stuff. Great for occasional use
Cons: Not for heavy use. Laptop/notebook is lose. Very little protection i.e. will not protect if you are rough with your bags.
Overall Review: This was a great buy for the money. I only spent 10 bucks. So for me it is great for running to the library once in a while or going to a Linux gathering on occasion.
Pretty in the Picture
Pros: This case has lots of room and an extra spot on top for an external hd. There's lots of space for drives and video card
Cons: I think the case fans are a bit cheap I think the locking mechanisms for the HDs are scary. They are plastic and are easy to bump loose.
Overall Review: I'm not sure I would recommend this tower. I fear I might be replace this in the next year because it is built cheap. I will update this review as the year goes by. My first impressions are: it is cheap, the fans are cheap, the HD lockers are cheap, oh, and the Power Supply mounts on the bottom. Not sure if that is good or bad. We will see.
Lots of Potential
Pros: There's a lot of ports. and expansion slots. I'll write a better review as the year goes by. This is more computer than I can every hope to need. I'm hoping to us Fedora Linux on this one. I'll let you know.
Cons: It was shipped with a few lose parts. But there were extra screws to tighten things down.
Overall Review: I'll let you know how it goes as the year goes by. Right now it has lots of potential. I am really happy with how many expansion slots it has. And I can put the latest processor in it and lots of ram. Hoping it does well with Fedora.
Nice and cool
Pros: This is an awesome replacement for my Cooler Master PS. Plenty of power for anything I throw at it.
Cons: No issues
Overall Review: It is not a whisper-quiet unit, however, it is solid.
Great addition
Pros: Easy to install and instantly recognized to my Fedora operating system.
Cons: No issues
Awesome
Pros: This is an awesome addition to my box. Love the blue LEDs. It is quiet and efficient. What else could I ask for?
Cons: No issues
Overall Review: This is my final upgrade for my Cool Master box. All OEM fans are upgraded to anything other than Cooler Master.
Back-order and No Info
This vendor had my item on back-order. I expected the item within a week of placing my order. I never received the item. I contacted the vendor and received a note saying the item was being sent from China. Not happy. Still haven't been reimbursed as far as I know. The point is, if a vendor is offering a product for sale, it should be on the shelf in real time. The sad thing is, I had to contact the vendor to discover the product may not arrive on time because, as I mentioned, the product was being shipped direct from China.
Long Lead Time
I'm really not happy with the shipping. When I order something, I really like to get it within 7 days at the most. I ordered an M.2 drive a few weeks ago and it is just now out for delivery. That is a Vendor problem, but still, the package was coming only one state away via USPS. Why not Fed Ex? And I payed for expedited shipping. Not happy. I'll by from a major online competitor when I can just to get my package within 7 days. I just built about $3Gs worth of computers and the waiting time for shipping just about drove be insane...and I payed for expedited shipping...and I'm still waiting. Not good.
Not what I expected
My story is simple. The company advertised a computer with specific specifications. The company sent me a computer with slightly different specs than advertised. I contacted the company and settled on upgrading the RAM to what was advertised. The processor could not be changed but is still sufficient for my needs. Overall I am happy with the product ZOOMUSA built. It is an awesome machine. 3 Stars for sending a machine all across the country that was not built per the advertised spec.
