Awesome!

Rosewill Gaming Computer Case - ATX Mid Tower - Top HDD Dock, Side Window Panel, 5 Preinstalled Fans - BLACKHAWK
Rosewill Gaming Computer Case - ATX Mid Tower - Top HDD Dock, Side Window Panel, 5 Preinstalled Fans - BLACKHAWK

Pros: - Superb airflow - Tons of fan mounts; I currently have 9 case fans packed inside. - Very easy to work inside of - Great cable management - Good construction - Dust filters work wonders, to my surprise. - Roomy. I moved from an ATX Full to this and didn't notice much difference. To be honest I like this case's space usage a lot better. It's designed to be very changable and works very well when moving parts around to suit other setups. I love it.

Cons: - The bottom is a little flimsy due to the open pattern for fans to pull/push air. Not really an issue though. The feet are solid and you can easily hold them inside of the bottom.

Overall Review: Bottom mounted PSU CAN be an issue for some but with a little elbow grease you shouldn't have too much trouble getting it all in line with your setup. I personally had to flip it over so the fan was pulling air out of the case as it was accumulating far to much dust which started to worry me. All in all I'm extremely happy and I'd be happy to use this case in future builds.

Most Critical Review

Cheap - And not the good kind.

XCLIO A380BK Fully Black SECC 1.0mm thickness ATX Full Tower Computer Case
XCLIO A380BK Fully Black SECC 1.0mm thickness ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: -Tons of room, had no issue fitting any large components inside. -Large fans made it looks pretty cool. -Blue lighting, fit well with my Warlock Power PSU. -Very solid interior, you could carry it by the inside rail. -One of the better made tool-less HDD rack sets.

Cons: -Very flimsy/cheap door and casing around the front of the case. -Extremely cheap fans which died after a couple months of purchase (not really worth finding a replacement). -Almost no cable management whatsoever. -The way the case bows out on the front to fit the fan become very inconvenient for storing the case in some areas (Such as against a wall) -Air flow seemed to be a little lacking even with the large fans always turned up. Fan controller for the front fan was insanely cheap - fell out and desoldered after a month or so, I just removed it completely.

Overall Review: This case it pretty easy on the eyes and it was fine when I wasn't having issues with the build quality. All the metal components are extremely solid but apparently that caused them to build all the plastic very badly. It's not a terrible case but I wouldn't have spent $160 CAD on it.

Extremely cool!

ZALMAN CNPS9500A-LED 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: -Amazing cooling performance! Keeps my CPU idling around 27C, and no higher than 35C-40C during intense gaming. -Lots and lots and lots of copper -Nice blue light -4 mounting positions, lots of airflow capability.

Cons: -None! Love it.

Overall Review: -My case is setup such that there's an intake fan in the front which pulls cool air right through to the rear exhaust fan. Works well!

Great mount!

Rosewill RMS-MA5010 - 37" - 65" LCD LED TV Full Motion Dual Arm Wall Mount - Max. Load 132 lbs., VESA Up to 800x500mm, compatible with Samsung, Vizio, Sony, Panasonic, LG and Toshiba TV

Pros: -Very strong. -Tons of mobility. -Holds the load without any uncomfortable swaying or bending.

Cons: -My TV required smaller screws than what came with the mount, but it wasn't a problem, I managed to dig some out of my little pile.

Overall Review: -The bolts are extremely stiff, so when moving around the TV, unless you're using an extremely large TV you may need to loosen them a little bit to get the movement you want.

Awesome!

Rosewill LIGHTNING-800 - 800-Watt Modular, Active PFC Power Supply - Continuous @ 122 Deg. F (50C), 80 PLUS Gold, ATX 12V v2.31 & EPS 12V v2.92, Intel Haswell, SLI & CrossFire Ready
Rosewill LIGHTNING-800 - 800-Watt Modular, Active PFC Power Supply - Continuous @ 122 Deg. F (50C), 80 PLUS Gold, ATX 12V v2.31 & EPS 12V v2.92, Intel Haswell, SLI & CrossFire Ready

Pros: -The coolest PSU I've ever owned! Almost cool to the touch. -Nifty plugs that screw in. Looks better than the clip on ones offered by a lot of other companies. -Nice color to compliment the other lighting. -Mesh cords. Durable. -Neat little case for all your extra stuff.

Cons: -None! Works extremely well!

Overall Review: This is the first modular PSU I've owned and I love it. When you look in the window you can only see the P8 and the 24 pin wires. All the rest are hidden due to having lots of extra room from the lack of excess plugs.

Great card!

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 11188-22-20G

Pros: -Very cool, 45C idle, 50C-65C gaming. -VERY quiet. You can't hear it on auto. -Runs high end games very well. -Good overclocking/Power settings. -Reletively cheap!

Cons: -Not really a con, but it didn't want to flash the 6970 bios.

Overall Review: I had to buy this card as I dropped my tower and broke my old flagship version of the 6950. That one unlocked to a 6970, but sadly this one did not.
