Pros: Good room inside case. Quality feel & sturdiness for an inexpensive case. Quiet fans - seem to provide decent air flow with vent holes drilled into side of case and use of CPU vent shroud. Good packing job including masking tape on front case edges to prevent scuffing. Nice connections at front of case. All connection leads are a good length. Power supply works so far with light to moderate configuration.

Cons: HDD light isn't too bright (no big deal). Power supply doesn't have 6 or 8 pin PCI card power supply lead for newer video cards (I don't relay expect that on a budget case nor did I need it). The power supply does feel a little light if you take it out to examine this which I do sorta out of a geekish habit. I am only running a basic system with slightly beefed up video card (7900GT requires 4 pin power connection type used for HDD) config so power loads are not large. Others complain about the power supply and I have a bit of a pet peeve about cheap power supplies (I'd rather save $5-$15 on the case and have no power supply rather than a faulty one that gives me troubleshooting headaches (especially one that seems to work then fails after hours of use intermittently or under load). HOWEVER, this power supply is currently working OK for me at the moment - we will see how it holds up after hours of gaming or in a few months.

Overall Review: I got this on Newegg on a Black Friday deal for about 1/2 price and free shipping! I have use HEC MATX cases in the past and liked them so I figured I would get this mid tower ATX because it was such a great Black Friday deal. I'm not sure if I had to pay the full price though - there are other cases to check out at $60 plus shipping. I purchased this because I had enough spare parts in my geek room to build another PC for network gaming The following rig seems to work fine so far with the existing power supply: ASUS M3A w/integrated audio Linksys GB PCI NIC (the one on the Asus M3A is busted) AMD X2 5400+ (stock clock) 2x1GB Ballistix DDR2 800 Mhz memory @ 2.2 V XFX GeForce 7900GT 256MB PCIe Seagate 160GB SATA3GB 7200 rpm HDD Sony/Optiarc IDE DVD-RW I give the case 4/5 eggs because the power supply lacks PCIe connectors at its power rating. NewEgg put together a killer black friday deal so they get huge kudos for that!

Pros: Great graphics and sound. Weapons are pretty cool and team play can be a lot of fun if you coordinate play with friends in a squad or are lucky enough to come across a server where people are more team players and work like a team in a squad rather than a bunch of wanna be Rambos. Squad play is key to leveling up and enjoying the multiplayer game.

Cons: Single player a bit meh. Starts off with no real story or plot and has some frustrating parts that you end up playing over and over again and make the single play game lame (wish it had a fast forward to just get through that annoying one off sneak attack or whatever lame thing it is). Multiplayer feels tedious most of the time. Often I find that I'm running 500 meters from the home base only to be sniped by a camper so you can do it all over again. Lame - just drop off that server because most of the game will probably be a lousy experience for you. I always feel like I'm losing to better guns and disappointed with new guns when I get them. I guess it may be only the last couple guns in each class that are the good ones but I will probably never know because I have found myself shutting the game down due to frustration. In general I feel that previous BF game somehow promoted team play better or made it less desirable to be a loaner.

Overall Review: I'm sure part of my problem is that I'm a permanent noob. I have full time job and family responsibilities and can't stay up all night cracked up on Red Bull to get 12+ hours of gaming in or play every day to level up and I feel the game doesn't cater to the casual gamer very well. MW3 at least detects noobs like me sucking wind and gives a perk or bonus after you die several times in a row to help level the playing field plus a points bonus to help level you up when you recover and get a kill. I know all the hardcore gamers will call me lame but my $60 for the game counts to game makers and they need to accommodate casual gamers like me if they want to keep taking my money. btw - MW3 I thought had a great single player - better than BF3 single.

Pros: Fun, plays well on my PC. No bugs during my game play, stable. Less Claptrap than other BL games (maybe a pro or con for you).

Cons: none really. I'm not sure its adds any dimensions to play - just more good ol' Borderlands. I found the guns to be a bit monotonous and frustrating that a boss drops a legendary gun that actually sucks sometimes - maybe often. Yeah there are 'Billions of guns' but it would be nice to see a system to level up guns/gear you find so you don't out grow it as you level up. I really hated giving up some great/fun guns I got early on because they were not strong enough vs. higher level enemies as I progressed.

Overall Review: Good game to play while stuck at home during a pandemic. I would not pay full price but if you can get it on sale its worth it!

Pros: small, fast. once installed I had no issues migrating data to it or making it work.

Cons: I'm pretty sure the worlds smallest (PC) screw is used to hold NVMe. This is the screw that you get one of included with your motherboard that is easily lost and almost certainly lost if you go back to upgrade to NVMe after your initial PC build. A lot of motherboards locate teh M.2 between the PCIe slots that accommodate GPUs. I might be concerned with NVMe cooling if I had 2 big GPUs over them but my PC is fine with single GPU.

Overall Review: I moved from a Crucial/Micron 1TB SATA6 M500 SSD that was getting full (lots of games). I upgraded to this NVMe and honestly it doesn't really feel any faster than the old SSD. I wish I spent a bit more and got the 960 Pro NVMe since maybe it would feel faster. Installing it was a big pain since I didn't have the screw and had to hunt around for replacement screws to hold the NVMe drive in since obviously I lost the screw from the original motherboard as the PC was built over a year previously. I ended up finding a laptop screw that worked but I had to make a small custom washer for my rig. Typically the NVMe screw is M2 with a big wide head (looks like a tack). I wish a few came with every motherboard purchased. The Samsung data migration software worked great to copy my m500 data to NVMe. I like the latest 4.x Magician software but hate the new v5.0 I upgraded to. Basically 5.0 seems like it does very little other than run a performance test and doesn't show much useful data (like firmware version) or allow you to optimize windows settings (or see them). It's like they removed all the nerd knobs that PC enthusiasts like and made the software look pretty for someone like my mom who is not technical. Basically Magician 5 sucks so avoid upgrading to it if you can. Also on Magician - it doesn't work with Samsung Enterprise drives and the tiny 1.3MB DL for Enterprise SSD management doesn't work or do anything so rather than figure out Samsung's software shortcomings I found it easier to stop buying Samsung SSDs server server builds and only use Intel drives in server builds because Intel's software doesn't cause me headaches. Maybe Samsung wanted to design Magician 5 similar to its Enterprise SSD management software (so useless). Overall Samsung SSDs are great but I wish they put some thought into Magician since clearly someone went brain dead on the software team.

Pros: Seems pretty fast. I'm don't follow all the details and technical specs but this router has no issues with speed for me. It covers my entire 4000 sq. foot house with WiFi and streams flawlessly over 5G to my bedroom Samsung smart TV. I am a pretty basic user from a feature set perspective but I really have no issues with this router. I like the auto firmware download/update feature.

Cons: none really. Maybe its a bit large in size or the antennas are slightly larger.

Overall Review: I don't use the USB port drive for file sharing or even the guest wireless network. I'm a pretty basic user. I wired my two primary TVs to hard line Ethernet then just use the wireless for cell phones/personal devices, my work Macbook (5G), and the Samsung smart TV in my bedroom (Netflix). Don't expect to run everyth9ng wireless. If you plan to spend anytime in your home invest in running some Cat 5e cable to your major TVs or entertainment centers - don't expect wireless to support more than 1 TV streaming HQ video well.

Pros: HP quality. cool silver color now.

Cons: Server uses only new GEN8 HP proprietary disks so I can no longer buy WD raptor drives and insert into inexpensive generic drive tray. I hHad to buy HP branded disks for 3 times the cost of the basic ones that I used to be able to just slide into a generic drive carrier so this is no longer an option for a cost effective server. If this concerns you try to find an HP G7 server or buy another brand of server.

Overall Review: Great if you don't care what your server costs. Maybe there is some advanced functionality that rich enterprises may want in these new more advanced drive (same drive but with some new firmware and drive carrier) but for the lower end SMB I can't imagine anyone would want this feature. as of today (Oct 2013) you can find generic drive sleds that have some electronics in them but I'm not sure if they work with regular SATA drives and they are about 3x-4x the cost of the G7 drive trays each. Thumbs down for greedy HP gouging SMB customers.
