Most Favorable Review

small but good itx design

SilverStone Sugo Series SG05BB-LITE Black SECC / Plastic Mini-ITX Desktop Computer Case with 2 x USB3.0 ports (Black)
SilverStone Sugo Series SG05BB-LITE Black SECC / Plastic Mini-ITX Desktop Computer Case with 2 x USB3.0 ports (Black)

Pros: front 120 fan - lots of air is critical for small case builds 2 card slots for double sized vid card solidly built, very little flex in frame and all is black painted usb 3 fixture that I needed to swap with my other SS case I can adapt a 120mm water loop to the front fan

Cons: had to line up the rubber feet correctly I use an external optical but it needs a slim one and adapter to include it it could use some black thumb screws for the case shell

Overall Review: 3rd or 4th itx build for me and this case has the right idea some cases are small but no real air movement which becomes a real problem no other air except front fan, I think push down with p/s fan and push/pull out front with 120mm water loop perhaps I could fit a slim 120mm fan on the inside side

Review revisal

MSI 760GMA-P34 (FX) AM3+ AMD 760G USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: The original board only had a bad NIC. Everything else was fine.

Cons: After sending 2 boards back and spending much more money than I would have thought, I've decided MSI isn't going to send me one that works properly so I am resigned to just call this a total loss. A real 180 with the "so called" great warranty service. If you don't get one that works right initially, it's your loss.

Overall Review: I really liked the original one I purchased minus the bad NIC. It's just when my water pump started to fail I thought I would have the board replaced for the bad NIC that I got it with. Big mistake. I'll never buy from MSI again. It's obvious no one's at the wheel where their warranty service is concerned. I had to say something or what is this feedback forum for?

Kingston 32GB MicroSDXC UHS-I/U3 Class 10 Memory Card, Speed Up to 90 MB/s (SDCA3/32GBSP)

Pros: Seems pretty fast, I barely see a difference between it and the phones mem affordable for what equates to not having to worry about needing a new phone a lot more use for my phone (swap space, files, extended partition\mem ability (with apps))

Cons: needed the Kingston usb adapter to get the thing formatted correctly with micro tool, then it mounted correctly.

Overall Review: for the price it was not even a consideration in terms of what I got for the apps and these devices to get a lot more from my phone. If your not intimidated by rooting your phone, you can get more out of it with these inexpensive options.
