Pros: -Great refresh/frame rate. -Great colours. -Power saving features are on point and only takes a second to wake up. -No lines and low glare
Cons: -Had a few dead pixels right out of the box. Easy to ignore while playing fast paced games like Overwatch, but can be a big distraction in games like Arma3. -Doesn't have enough tilting adjustment for me, need to have something (like a pen) under the rear of the stand to get the screen to face straight at me.
Overall Review: If you can get it on sale it is a great monitor for a good price. I plan to purchase 2 more if they go on sale on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, but will definitely make a fuss about dead pixels this time and return them if there is any out of the box again. 4/5 eggs.

Pros: -Small and convenient for my case. -Price was right. -Performance is good.
Cons: -Take caution when installing a large graphics card. After putting mine in I noticed it completely covered any access to the slider to unlock the card. If I want to remove it I have to remove the entire motherboard from my case in order to get at the unlock. -Pins for the power button connectors and such are sketchy.
Overall Review: It performed as expected, however the convenience of it is pretty poor.

Pros: -Small and sleek. -Very versatile if you know what you're doing. -The entire case comes apart like a jigsaw puzzle and is actually surprisingly convenient at times for cleaning and installing. The top pops off, motherboard tray slides out the back. -Good quality materials
Cons: -I am pretty sure the reset button is messed up as whenever I would press it, it would just shut down to a black screen and freeze up. Using the power button is no big deal though. -Can get a little cramped along the side depending how big your graphics card is. If it was just a 1/2" wider life would be so much easier with it. -Air flow is poor. I have started leaving the top of the case off so as to allow the heat to escape, because with it on it gets HOT.
Overall Review: I purchased this case because I needed something that was versatile, easy to use, and didn't take up much space as I was renting a room in a student house and needed every extra inch I could get. It's a pretty decent case. The screws don't strip, the metal doesn't bend, and the paint hasn't scratched. You do need to be on top of dust control inside as it is a smaller case and does get pretty gnarly pretty quick (usually every 3months or so I pull it out and clean it up). If you have big hands, I suggest looking for something different. Overall it did what I needed it to and hasn't let me down yet. Only thing that does actually bother me is how poor the airflow is. Temperatures can get fairly high with the lid on. 4/5 because of that.
