Most Favorable Review

Best. budget. mid-tower. ever.

LIAN LI Lancool PC-K59 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
LIAN LI Lancool PC-K59 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Solid as a rock...this beast weighs a ton. Even the side panels need a forklift. Paint job is superb...feels like liquid epoxy pick-up truck bed liner...will last forever. Great cable-management. Excellent totally tool-less design. Big space for after-market cooling without removing the motherboard. E-sata, USB 3.0. Comes with three fans...plus room for more. Runs whisper quiet and very cool...took my i5 2500K load temps down at least 5-7c with the three fans alone and stock cooler. The plastic pull-aparts for the front and top and sturdy and snap in and out with ease. Dust-filters for vents....wonderful case. I know the kiddies love the LED cases with the purple, orange and red and blue glows or whatever. This case is for builders who want solid design, clean looks, and excellent functionality without their bedroom or den looking like a 70's disco.

Cons: Too much case for what I paid...I feel like I ripped New Egg off. Price will be lower again...keep an eye out for sales.

Overall Review: Was going to go with an Anted three-hundred but this monster was on sale for for just $25 more shipped and is ten times better than a three-hundred. Also..this case is a mid-tower? lol...try again. It's huge. I've had "full towers" the same size. Plenty of room to build-in. No sharp edges.

Most Critical Review

rebate scam!

SeaSonic X-1250 ( SS-1250XM2 ) 1250W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
SeaSonic X-1250 ( SS-1250XM2 ) 1250W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Does what it does and does it well. Three stars for 5-star item. Home fusion reactor needed to power.

Cons: Filed rebate about 12 weeks ago. No sign of it. Not on their tracking website either. I have a 100 percent rebate return record. I fill all paperwork out meticulously. I have a strong feeling this rebate had failed. The rebate center address is less than 200 miles away from me, too.

Overall Review: Minus two stars for rebate scam.

We go sailing down the calming 'xtreme

Pros: It's a decent board. Overclocks my 2400 Mhz RAM like a boss. Software is much improved. 4790K is humming along @ 4.7 Ghz.. I can boot with some stability to 5 Ghz, probably higher I haven't tried.Depth of field and blur in BIOS? Nice...I think.

Cons: None really... one star off because I missed the rebate window.

Overall Review: I've been with mostly ASUS boards and for overclocking this board is the best, esp. with RAM. I've never OC'd my 2400 Mhz RAM to 2600 Mhz but this board can do it. Color matches my RAM and looks decent in a white case with black interior. Chocolate covered macadamias are wonderful.

destroy oppression...the point to reaction

Pros: This little baby is the best invention for PC gaming since the 9700 Pro.As I planned, I used this with a Water 3.0 Extreme (open box)... I knew the GTX 780 Ti I was buying already had heatsinks on the RAM and VRMs after taking off the air cooler. I'm now running 35c full gaming load. I'll type it out... thirty --- five ---degrees --- Celsius. Overclocked to 1300 Mhz. I have another GTX 780 Ti in-bound that will receive the same treatment. If you have the space, forget your HSF and get this with a decent cooler. Best 80-100 beans you'll ever spend if you don't want a full water loop.

Cons: could have come with more stuff for RAM and VRMs... not just the fan. I guess that wasn't the point.

Overall Review: I am glad to relay this information to you.

must make a correction

Pros: Excellent color... super widescreen without the hassle of surround or eyefinity.

Cons: Input lag... but can be controlled with FPS limiter.

Overall Review: I bough this from the manufacturer.. I want to correct Gothasis...I've had this for about 6 months.. you absolutely can play Skyrim 2560 x 1080...search [H] for the proof and New Vegas... and Crysis 3... and Sins of a Solar Empire and Far Cry 3.. Far Cry 2, Borderlands 2, Half-Life 2, TF2, Supreme Commander, Diablo 3, Metro Last Light, Portal... if not naively..it's called config files. Edit them.

This is "classified" information

Pros: Everything. 78.3 ASIC This monster makes Classified divulge information to wikileaks and hide in a moscow airport.. To be clear, I bought this with a guest account, so I am a verified purchaser. Verified by me.

Cons: Um...Nothing.

Overall Review: You see the low factory overclock? Don't be deceived... your boost clock is virtually guaranteed. I ran 99 runs of Metro LL benchmark on Very High. GPU usage maxed-out the whole time. Never got above 68c. Stayed at 1032 mhz boost clock the whole time. This GPU throttles @ 80c. If it don't go above 80c... no throttle. You won't see this baby go over 80c ...maybe furmark could do it... if you lived in the desert with no air conditioning. OC'd to 1200 / 6500 no problems (still under 70c loaded)...and that's just the first try at overclocking this beast. This card is better than just Classy... it's Monarchical.
