SilverStone Sugo Series SG07-B Black Aluminum / SECC Mini-ITX Desktop Computer Case 600W 80+ Bronze Certified / Single +12V rail Power Supply

Pros: This is an amazing case. If my board, heatsink, harddrives, and my GTS 450 prefectly It has amazing air flow with the 180 mm fan and keeps my processor at a nice 27 C idle and 50 C under full load. Fits my GTS 450 with room to spare, alot of room to spare. With the 600w power supply to run pretty much anything Looks great and is exactly what I needed for my mini gaming rig.

Cons: Cable Management The instructions give some incite on how to run your cables, but it is still a pain. It took me a little bit to plan out where they would go to not hit my heatsink or anything.

Overall Review: Great Case, Would recommend to anyone building a mini gaming tower. My Build This Case Intel Mini ITX 1156 MB i3-530 2.93 Duel Core EVGA SuperClocked GTS 450 4bg ddr3 1333 ram 1tb WD HD

Very Satisfied

MSI GS Series - 17.3" - Intel Core i7-4710HQ - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M - 16 GB DDR3L - 1TB HDD 384 GB SSD - Windows 8.1 64-Bit - Gaming Laptop (GS70 Stealth Pro-212 )
MSI GS Series - 17.3" - Intel Core i7-4710HQ - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 870M - 16 GB DDR3L - 1TB HDD 384 GB SSD - Windows 8.1 64-Bit - Gaming Laptop (GS70 Stealth Pro-212 )

Pros: Everything I expected. Plays all the games I play (ESO, Diablo, Skyrim, ect) on high with no problems. Great Keyboard Great screen (at least it looked better than my external 27 inch monitor) Size and weight are amazing obviously.

Cons: Loud fan when running games (expected), my headset without active noise canceling blocks it all out. GPU gets up to 91 degrees Celsius during heavy gaming, this makes above the keyboard and the bottom pretty hot (expected)

Overall Review: This blows my previous gaming laptop (Toshiba with a gtx 370M) out of the water and performs on par with my desktop (Sandy i7 and a 7950) Worth the money in my mind.

Awesome board so far

Pros: Great board. Put it together in my SG07 case with: i7 - 2600 16gb 1333 DDR3 HD 7950 1TB HD + 30GB SSD Cache

Cons: When I got the board it had some kind of residue on the back, I didnt know what this was but when the board when in and has been running for a few days now with no issues. Also when setting up RAID or SSD Cache (which requires raid) Make sure you have a ps/2 keyboard lying around. To get into the RAID configuration screen a usb keyboard wont send "Ctrl-I"

Overall Review: This board was perfect and accepted my 16 gbs of ram right out of the box along with my 7950. This included software is somewhat useful. I dont really use any of it besides the drivers though. But can see where it might come in handy. For those that care this board + 7950 + i7 2600 in a SG07 case i7 Temp: 32Idle-60Max 7950 Temp: 60idle-77Max Still trying to get the idle gpu temps down, but when it sits in that small case and doesn't max above 80 I don't worry too much.

Amazing Laptop

Pros: This is an awesome laptop Light Study Long battery life BLUETOOTH (FN F3 brings up the option to turn it on) Small but with CD drive Sandybridge i5 is quick Doesn't get hot, even when plight gaming it isnt uncomfortable

Cons: Will update when I find some, Bloatware was annoying, but easily removed

Overall Review: There is bluetooth on this system, you justh ave to turn it on by the FN F3 command that brings up the wireless menu. Awesome laptop though, bought it for school and it does its job nicely

Good Board, Beware Compatibility

Pros: Didn't buy from newegg but have been running for about 2 weeks in a mini computer I build for a light gaming. Runs great with i5-2400S and a GTS 450

Cons: Beware Compatibility issues. I noticed one other review was having issues when paired with the 2500. Intel's specs lists this as only being compatible with the i5-2400s quad-core . I'm assuming because its the only 65W sandybridge out. Might not work correctly if paired with the 95W processors

Good Drive, and to fix some confusion

Pros: Have been running this drive in my Foxconn Netbox Windows 2003 server for about a week and it runs like a hard drive should Running Windows FTP, Minecraft Server, Apache, Mysql and PHP5

Cons: non so far

Overall Review: To fix the confusion of Alz and oscaryu1 the drive is technically still 320GB by manufactures standards. Manufactures use standards that list 1GB as 1,000,000,000bytes Where as Windows (and all OS's) use a different standard that lists 1GB as 1,073,741,824 bytes (2^30) Yes it has been this way forever and it is annoying The reason you may not have ever noticed is the smaller the drive the less space that is lost do to the conversion
