Stormtrooper with front mic problems

NZXT Phantom PHAN-001WT White Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case
NZXT Phantom PHAN-001WT White Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Looks amazing, the inside is painted and is very solid. Impressed all of my friends at the LAN parties and they like to call it Stormtrooper. The front shield is nice for keeping your optical drives quiet. Now that I think about it, I never hear any components running inside of the machine. Very well designed. I loved how all the drives were mounted, with their special system. It took a while to understand how they worked.

Cons: This thing ways a ton! I get winded carrying this in and out of my car to LAN parties and its not the most easiest to hold on to. If you want something good for LANs, get the NZXT case with the handle. Also the case top and front covers can pretty be clipped off if not careful when carrying. Its made to snap off and on. The front mic jack already gave me problems within 3 weeks. I am getting feedback on only the front panel mic jack. (Could be a mobo problem, but I'm pretty sure its the jack was just bad)

Overall Review: A lot of people say it looks just like an Alienware case. Which is not really a big deal to me, but I don't exactly being compared to Alienware.

Pros: Looks cool.

Cons: I got a bad batch of RAM, memory errors, BSODs and Windows 7 64 bit isn't even recognizing one of the sticks. Sending back now, hopefully ADATA has good support.

Fun for everyone.

Pros: Feels great on the head. Like every other Logitech product I've owned- it works flawlessly and doesn't feel like it will degrade over time like other brands. The buttons on the side are useful to bind to your push-to-talk key in games/voips. The cord spool and the cord it self really impressed me. The usb cord (for charging AND wired sound) can also be used to charge my cell phone and any other devices that support the micro usb attachment. (Talk about usefullness)

Cons: Hurts the ears if worn in certain positions, the headband has to be adjusted to fit your elf/orc ears or they will be a bit painful. I was sad I couldn't wear a hooded cloak (hoodie) under the headset- that will also cause some pain also. Despite these, I give the product 5 eggs because anything that is this powerful needs some adjustment to fit properly.

Overall Review: Listening to a heated discussion in your guild's ventrilo and need to empty your bowels? Worry no more, I occasionally take this in to the crapper and make it a point to tell my guildies that I am contributing to the conversation while sitting on the porcelain throne.

Overall Review: Looks like a V8 Car engine, I showed it off to my friends and they instantly thought I was a wizard.

Glad I chose Sony.
