Most Critical Review

Misleading warranty information. Only 3 years

be quiet! System Power U9 700W
be quiet! System Power U9 700W

Pros: Seams like a fine power supply

Cons: Product description says that there is a 5 year warranty. The box says 3 year warranty. I called Newegg and they said they confirmed that this power supply only has a 3 year warranty.

Overall Review: This Product is sold directly by BeQuiet. Newegg contacted BeQuiet and they said that they would refuse to honor a 5 year warranty. They also refused to offer any kind of compensation. They did offer to issue a refund if I wanted.

Reviewers don't understand what aRGB means

DIYPC DIY-VX-RGB Black Dual USB3.0 Steel/ Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case w/Tempered Glass Panel and Pre-Installed 4 x RGB 18LED Fan (7 Different Color in 3 Mode Control)

Pros: Good solid construction

Cons: Not argb

Overall Review: There are reviewers claiming that the fans are addressable because they can be controlled by the motherboard. That's not what addressable means. Non-addressable RGBs, the whole strip/array of RGB LEDs displays one color at any time. This colour can transition, shift, breath/pulse, etc. every RGB LED is always exactly the same color as all its neighbours at any given instant. These type are controlled by a 12v 4pin header like this case has. Addressable RGBs, each RGB LED can display a different color and intensity than its neighbours. Higher cost and complexity. This allows for the fancy "rainbow affect" you see on may cases. See the matrexx 50 4f for example. This is usually controlled by a 5v 3pin header. This case does not have that. No rainbow affect. Newegg, to their credit, has changed the description to the correct one and it now says RGB.
