Best Case/PSU Combo Under $100

Rosewill - Black, Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Red Front Panel and 500W Power Supply - R536-Red
Rosewill - Black, Hot-Dipped Galvanized Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Red Front Panel and 500W Power Supply - R536-Red

Pros: -Solid quality for price range. -Looks good -Roomy

Cons: -Front Panel Audio connector is a bit short. -USBs don't plug all the way in, but still work. -Top mounted PSU

Overall Review: I used this case to build a rig for a client in Texas. I trust the Rosewill brand, but have never tried their cases before. I was pleasantly surprised. It's a solid size PSU for a mid-range build, and the case itself was nice. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that a high end case has, but even the cable management "wasn't horrible" in this case. If you don't mind having a non-modular PSU, and you are looking for a reliable and inexpensive case... this is it. And honestly, if you were to buy one of those cheapo $30 cases, and then a separate PSU, you would still be spending the same amount, and not getting as good of a quality case.

Pros: It can weigh paper down on windy days.

Cons: It turns it self on and off constantly, blinking over and over. I have searched far and wide for a resolution. Yes I have updated my drivers, yes I have confirmed that other monitors work perfectly fine on my 2060 video card, yes I have tried default settings through Dell Display Manager, yes I have turned it off and back on, or any other toddler-esque questions the support desk wants to ask in return.

Overall Review: Dont buy this.

Pros: -Looks Good for the price -Roomy -Easy cable routing and management -Feels sturdily built

Cons: -Pretty bad airflow design

Overall Review: What this case does well, it does very well. It feels sturdy in your hands, and the materials don't feel cheap. At this price range, you are getting a plastic front panel and plexiglass side window... but neither look cheap. There is plenty of space for large GPUs and the double USB 3.0 on the front is a nice up-to-date feature. The downside to this case, is the airflow. For regular, non-overclocked systems, it shouldn't be a problem. The case only comes with a single fan on the back. There are two other slots for fans, on the front of the case, but they are positioned so close to the non-porous front cover, that they barely create any airflow either. Though, none of that should be a problem if you aren't planning on overclocking, or running multiple GPUs. Consider picking up a PCI slot exhaust blower, or buying a GPU that exhausts it's heat out the back. Although there is plenty of room for decent cable management, you will have a much easier time with installation if you use a modular or semi-modular power supply. There is not much space for extra cables below the PSU shroud.

Pros: -It motherboards.

Cons: -The I/O shield is the most flimsy piece of foil that could have been used. It barely functions. -The Front Panel Connector ports don't come with the usual quality of life adapter to make plugging them in, easier. -Overall cheap quality.

Overall Review: This is a bottom of the barrel board... it will function, but it's cheap, and you feel like you are going to break it when you plug things into the I/O. Unfortunately Motherboards are one of the very few places on a PC where you try to shave cost. DON'T! Remember... every other piece of hardware on your PC gets plugged into this piece.

They Stole My Money

I ordered the Steelseries V2 headset. I'm a grown up, so I didn't want any of the bright colors or flashing lights, so I ordered the black and gold version. The most notable issue is that my item took a literal 4 weeks to arrive. Fine, it's a "First From Asia" product, with little to no shipping cost... so you have to expect someone is loading it onto a dingy and paddling it over... but a month!? Sheesh. My biggest complaint however... Is that I never received the item I ordered. I ordered a Black and Gold headset... what I received was a Blue and White headset. So the way I look at it... "Thanks for sending me a free item I didn't ask for... But, on another note, when will I receive the item I paid for?" I can't imagine your company is so disrespectful to the customer. that you would send them a random item in place of what they ordered, counting on their unwillingness to suffer the 6-8 weeks it would take to return and reorder the item? Well, apparently, this company IS.

Shipping Takes FOREVER

I thought the 5-15 days they claim it takes for you to receive your order was an exaggeration, because I have ordered other things from Newegg, and never even came close to the maximum delivery estimate. This seller, however, has taken over 22 days, and I STILL DON'T HAVE MY ORDER. They don't pick up the phone if you call their warehouse... and the tracking information I received for this order comes up as "Not Found" on the USPS website. You are gambling with your money by ordering from this seller... beware.
