Easy motherboard

BIOSTAR A880G+ AM3 AMD 880G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
BIOSTAR A880G+ AM3 AMD 880G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Easy to set up and worked out of the box. Good starter board.

Cons: None so far. Instructions were hard to understand but I know what I am doing so it didn't bother me. Little overclocking options, but I didn't need any, as it is for a customer who only does word and card games.

Overall Review: I like this board. Will use it for other builds in the future.

Great Midsize/Fullsize Case

Antec Eleven Hundred V2 Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case takes it all. Easy to hide wires. Big enough to take my 290 triX video card (12" ) with a couple of inches to spare. Doors open easily almost like they have hinges. No sharp edges to cut your self with. almost tool-less design. Plenty of room for extra hard drives but if you have more than 1 SSD get a bracket. Love this case. Fan are good and I added one for the front grill which is removable for cleaning. I got it on sale with a rebate so it made it totally worth it for me.

Cons: USB 2.0 wire for front panel connector could be a just 2 inches longer but I was able to get it in. Would be nice to come with rollers on the bottom as it is hard to scoot on carpet. One of the thumb screws that hold on the back broke as I was putting it in but I had extras. Wish it had more places for SSD's.

Overall Review: This case is a fine addition to my build and will last me for a few years to come. Has plenty of room and its easy to hide all the cables. I would recommend this case to anyone that is a gamer or enthusiast.

Pros: Worked right out of the box. Did not need to set the switches at all. My video card was tied to my older TV because of the S-Video connection but now I am using the DVI connector with an adapter. USB powered is a plus and plenty of connectors for overall convenience and ease of use. I could buy a newer TV but I just wanted to keep my older one as it has a good picture still so now I can upgrade my video card and not need to upgrade my TV until later.

Cons: None that I could see. Cannot con about picture res as I have an older TV. We will see about the rebate later.

Overall Review: As far as I can see this is the best way to hook your TV to your computer with out spending a lot of money.

Pros: I liked the feel of the keyboard. The mouse worked fine when plugged in. Both were good for the price and I was surprised at the value I received with both.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I ordered them for a customer and was surprised that they were about the same quality as the ones I replaced.

Good Ram

Pros: Worked fine. Like the heat spredders.

Cons: None at this time.

Overall Review: Its ram. As long as you check the specks on the motherboard you should be fine.

Good case

Rosewill R103A - Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - 350W 20 + 4-Pin Connector Power Supply

Pros: Came with all the screws I needed and plenty of room inside for a micro-ATX board. Was not a bad case to work with. Looks like a higher quality case. Power supply holding up so far so good.

Cons: Thin metal, but you get what you pay for. If you are just building and leaving it alone it will be fine.

Overall Review: Used it for a paid build and the customer was happy with the blue and red lights in the front. Looks expensive and really is a good case for the money. Was afraid it would come in dented but it arrived in fine condition.
