Pretty good case

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0

Pros: Very very very very nice cooling. You can control the fans with a little variable controler hooked to each fan. On all low settings, the fans are virtually silent. With the fans on high, they are still pretty quiet, and pump TONS AND TONS of air through the case. I had just a Rosewill case before this, and I had overheating issues. With this case, it dropped my temps 10 Celcius, just by buying this case. That is awesome. The 200mm fan ontop is awesomely HUGE! And also very slient I might add. I can hear my northbrige chip fan over my whole case fans. You can add a 120mm on the side if you would like. It has a moutning bracket built onto the side panel already.

Cons: Case panel came broken. I called newegg and they manufacturer sent me panels at no cost. The second set of panels came bent..but whatever I guess. I bent them back well enough to where I could put them on so they were flush. When I first recieved them, they wouldnt even latch because they were so crooked. Also, it is kind of flimsy, pretty stirdy, but definitely not as sturday as they get.

Overall Review: I would recommend this case. I just build my brother a system and I used this case for his build also. You can re-arrange the fans in the front if you would like. Overall, a decently nice case

Great Board!

Pros: I did not buy this product from newegg, but I bought it used on e bay. I was a little skeptical about buying this board at first, because of the reviews, but I am very, very happy I purchased this board. Everything you can think of is just great about this thing, it overclocks like a champ, it has 3 PCI X16 slots, supports plenty of RAM...and so on. No problems whatsoever. I have read reviews where people can only get the C2D E6750 up to 3.2 ghz. On this board, I had that cpu at 3.86ghz, stable with just a slight increase in voltage. I "un overclocked" it because I am waiting for my water cooling system to help cool it down al ittle. Overall, BUY this board if you are hesitant...you will not regret it.

Cons: The North Bridge fan is a little LOUD! It's not THAT bad, but I can hear it over everything else in an Antec 900 case. You NEED this fan if you plan on overclocking at all. That north bridge gets extremely hot.

Overall Review: My system specs: 20" widescreen Acer, XFX 680i mobo, BFG 8800GTS 640mb, 4gb Crucial Ballistix RAM, Antec 900, CD/DVD burner, COOLIT Eliminator TEC cooling, 700watt OCZ gaming PSU, 200gb Seagate 7200RPM HD

Pros: Very nice quality! I have always wanted Corsair XMS RAM however I never wanted to spend the money for it. I finally bit my lip and said enough with the Wintec RAM. I bout a DFI motherboard so I had to get some higher quality memory. I have this RAM clocked at 2.5,3,3,6. Very stable and I have had absolutly no problems.

Cons: I want a gig more and i dont have th emoney for that right now:(

Overall Review: AMD Athlon FX-55, 1gb (2x512) Corsair XMS, DFI NF4 Ultra-D board, Seagate 200gb hd, OCZ 700watt PSU
