Great Case// cheap screws

LIAN LI Lancool PC-K58W Black 0.8 mm SECC, Plastic + Mesh ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
LIAN LI Lancool PC-K58W Black 0.8 mm SECC, Plastic + Mesh ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Great designed case! Great airflow, Really Quiet Fans have vibration pads built onto them already, I never seen a case have this before... also rubber padding where the PSU goes +++ also dust filters everywhere! Great cable management. simple yet not too ugly design.. Great price for what you get.

Cons: The screws in this case are very weak and break easily, and its hard to find screws that fit into this case... I have computer case screws of all kinds and none of them seem to fit right. Power and reset button feel kinda cheap plastic, but its not too bad as long as your not being abusive to your pc...

Overall Review: If you need a inexpensive case with quality behind it, I'd recommend this to everyone. I came from a thermaltake Kandalf LCS case that I paid around 299.99 for to this case which i Paid 50bucks for and it feels like I upgraded my pc to the new case lol. My old case was making too much noise.....

Solid Product

Crucial M4 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT064M4SSD2
Crucial M4 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CT064M4SSD2

Pros: Have two of these in raid 0 getting about avarage 1055MB/s read speeds with HD tune pro, on a intel Raid controller with a i5-2500k oc 4.5ghz. Fast! The drives them self are solid, and work with no problems. Crucial seems to have a very good rep when it comes to there products... unlike some other company's....

Cons: Only thing I have to say negative about SSD's is that there not very consumer friendly products. You have to be kind of tech savy to get them working at 100%. Downloading scripts and having to edit a windows registry to get them working properly is not my idea as something most people could do with there computer. Not only that is they don't mention anywhere in the instructions or on the drive them self, they should give you a CD or something with all the tweaks you need I believe. Bottom line is If you don't install the tweaks your SSD will die early and not run correctly on your pc.

Overall Review: If your a tech savy PC user get a SSD!, if you don't even know what a SSD is or just heard about them... do your research before you buy one! It's a little more complicated than installing a normal hard drive.

Flawless Purchase!

G.SKILL Ripjaws X + Turbulence II Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD

Pros: -Fast Memory, gets a 7.9 on windows index. -Comes with a cool fan to cool your memory! -XMP profile made it as 1,2,3 to get the write settings right out of the box. -My motherboard a P67 Sabertooth says max ram support 1866mhz, but im running at 2133mhz with no problems! -LifeTime Warrenty! -Red is my favorite color! <- Most important!

Cons: -Expensive, compared to mainstream ram. -can't see my cool red ram stick because of the fan cooler! LOL

Overall Review: -Easiest ram install I ever dealt with, I was kinda worried they weren't going to work at box settings, because my motherboard states max memory is 1866mhz, but these are working perfectly at the box settings! All I had to do was pop the profile on and it was good to go.

Maybe too sandy?

Pros: -Best bang for your buck cpu on the market for gaming, as of right now. -upgraded from a QX6850 OC, its like night and day.

Cons: - Stock fan is tiny!, if not over clocking its fine tho.

Overall Review: - AMD Bulldozer lurking around the corner anytime now... maybe its going to bull doze over a sandy bridge?
