Overall Review: Easy to install, and unlocked if I want to put it to a test. Working nice and staying cool as installed and configured. this ain't Granny's CPU.. :)

Solid Case

Phanteks Enthoo Pro Series PH-ES614P_BK Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Sturdy, easy to install components, and accurate placement of standoffs.

Cons: Thumbscrew design, and the fan power distribution block may be causing an issue with some M/B Power supplies.

Overall Review: A sturdy case with plenty of space for a decent graphics card, with a proper cover for the Power supply that helps with aesthetics. Plexiglass is clean, and allows the LED lights (that are now seemingly ubiquitous) to shine all over your office space. Plenty of access locations for wire management, and more hard drive spaces than anyone will ever likely need ..unless being used as a server. One egg less because of the day I spent trying to troubleshoot a boot issue. As it turned out is was a grounding problem when plugging the case fan distribution into the power supply.. Changing the position on the power cable solved this.

Good for the money +

Acer AOPEN 27CV1 Hbi 27-inch Professional Full HD (1920 x 1080) Gaming and for Work Monitor with AMD FreeSync Technology, Up to 100Hz Refresh Rate, 1ms (VRB), ZeroFrame, Low Blue Light (1 x HDMI 1.4 & VGA Port)
Acer AOPEN 27CV1 Hbi 27-inch Professional Full HD (1920 x 1080) Gaming and for Work Monitor with AMD FreeSync Technology, Up to 100Hz Refresh Rate, 1ms (VRB), ZeroFrame, Low Blue Light (1 x HDMI 1.4 & VGA Port)

Pros: It has both the HDMI and VGA connections which was a must. Power is a separate power supply that may seem to be a con, ..however, it offers other location uses aside from traditional home/office. Sent as you would expect, (product box with a label) but internal packaging is surprisingly decent.

Cons: No audio. Not necessary, but would have been a bonus. On/off button/toggle feels a little flimsy, but is easy to reach and is fairly intuitive for settings.

Overall Review: For the price, buy a few. Never can have too many spare VGA/HMDI monitors around.
