Awsome Case

APEVIA X-QPACK-NW-BK/420 Black Aluminum 1.0 w/ ABS plastic front panel Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 420W Power Supply
APEVIA X-QPACK-NW-BK/420 Black Aluminum 1.0 w/ ABS plastic front panel Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 420W Power Supply

Pros: Great design for a cube case. Plenty of room for most of the parts. Long internal cables for forming and making look decent. Easy to understand layout and how to work with the case. Light weight.

Cons: Short height area for the expansion cards. Works well with most cards but had an issue with it being tight for my ATI PCIE Video Card.

Overall Review: Overall a great case and worth the money

Most Critical Review

Could you make it any Cheaper?

Syba SY-ACC65064 Full Tower/Mid Tower Computer Case Roller/Stand with Castors, Plastic Body, Black Color
Syba SY-ACC65064 Full Tower/Mid Tower Computer Case Roller/Stand with Castors, Plastic Body, Black Color

Pros: Nice looking and rubber protectors

Cons: Cheap, and I mean very cheap plastic caster holders

Overall Review: As soon as I put an empty Antec 1200 tower on it three of the plastic wheel holders (plastic cylinder holes that hold the casters) broke. I had just thrown the box and packing materials into the dumpster. The look, rubber protection strips, and the rest of the hardened plastic design are the only reason for two stars.

ASUS Terrible CS

ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD 890FX USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD 890FX USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: the sata is great

Cons: ASUS Customer service sucks. Mainboard would not maintain the BIOS settings even on soft reset. After extensive troubleshooting (no help from ASUS except more out of pocket for a battery) and updating all firmware possible they told me it would be a minimum of 7-10 business days for repairs.

Overall Review: Don't buy ASUS products if you need quality without the risk of returning for repairs. They fell far from what they use to be for customer service, they don't even have Express or Cross-Shipping for most of their products so you are without your product for over a week at best two months is the longest I have researched from about 6 friends. A S U S Customer Service is the second worst I have ever experienced. Gusee it is back to MSI Mainboards or Intel CPUS again. Thanks for Newegg and their great customer service and prices

Diamond bad

DIAMOND Viper Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 3870PE4512SB
DIAMOND Viper Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 3870PE4512SB

Pros: When I first got it it was fast. Graphics were stunning on my 32" LCD. Price was decent.

Cons: Drivers were old and outdated. Until I downloaded straight from AMD/ATI it kept locking up. After 5 months the cards started to lock the system more often after several wipe and reinstalls and diagnostics the cards were found defective. it took over two weeks to get ahold of diamond and another week before they gave me an RMA but they wanted me to pay for shipping to them and back.

Overall Review: Never ever buy diamond

Not Too bad

NZXT NEMESIS Black SECC STEEL CHASSIS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 400W Power Supply
NZXT NEMESIS Black SECC STEEL CHASSIS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 400W Power Supply

Pros: Case has plenty of expandability and the 5 external 5.25" Drive bays help. The lighting effect is also great.

Cons: The only drawback to this case is the powersupply. The case comes with 5 x 5.25" bays, and 4 3.5" bays and 1 external 3.5" bays. The power supply only has 4 x molex connectors, 1 x SATA connector, 2 x Floppy connector. Also My Future Power 400W PSU can handle all of my drives (6 internal hard drives, DVD+/-RW, and Floppy drive) but this one falls short as it even has problems with only 3 hard drives and the dvdrw drive with no front lights or side fan hooked up.

Overall Review: They need to make the case with a better power supply and then it would be worth the cost
