Most Favorable Review

It's a decent wireless adapter

Linksys AE2500-NP High Performance Dual-Band Wireless-N Adapter IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates
Linksys AE2500-NP High Performance Dual-Band Wireless-N Adapter IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates

Pros: -Reliable -Works great with windows 7 -Connection stays strong

Cons: -It will not work for windows 8, as said in the specifications -If you plan on upgrading your operating system to windows 8, you might as well get something else

Overall Review: As said in the specifications, this wireless adapter is only compatible with windows 7 and older generations. Some people wrote a bad review on this because they learned that this is not comparable with windows 8 the hard way. It's common sense to read the specifications and determine whether or not this is meant for you.

Most Critical Review

(EDITED REVIEW) Nice card, has some issues

ASUS PCE-N15 300Mbps Wireless-N Network Adapter, PCI-E interface, Full Height and Low Profile bracket, WPS button Support

Pros: Very fast, low profile, strong connection cuts through the internet like butter

Cons: The card disconnects from the internet for up to 10 seconds when I'm surfing the web. This happens every hour or two. After setting the card to connect to the internet through windows, it still kept on disconnecting, but not as often. The card's connection also drops down every once in a while, which slows down it's performance dramatically, but after tweaking the antennas a bit, it goes back up to flawless connection. Another thing that I've noticed is that the packaging is not secure, so the card is going to be bouncing around in the box when it is shipped. One last, but the biggest problem with the card is that after the first week of using the card, it started to freeze my computer. I found that at least one or twice a week my computer would freeze at night at random times. I can't even CTRL ALT DELETE when it freezes. Whenever I try to download large files (20+mb) the freezing occurs more often. After the download is done or paused, the freezing would stop. I've tried checking all of my parts and see if they are malfunctioning, but concluded that nothing was wrong. I've tried my best on researching this topic and I never found a working solution. I remember I had a USB wireless adapter and it worked perfectly fine. No freezes, no internet lag, nothing, but it was 6x slower than this card, so I doubt that the problem has to do with any of my other pc components.

Awesome case

Pros: Looks nice, easy to install things into it, good for airflow

Cons: The front panel flies off when you pull it out, but that's not a big issue

Runs fine, hard to install things into it

Pros: Works fine

Cons: It was very hard to install the cpu cooler and the PSU plug on the motherboard. I had to use lots, and i mean lots, of pressure just to install these simple items onto the motherboard. My fingers were in pain for about 3 days because of this.

Overall Review: Keep in mind that there is no USB 3.0 front panel support

Great fan, poor assembling.

Pros: They work great, the airflow in my case is pretty good with these fans.

Cons: They are somewhat hard to install since you need to use a lot of force to put in the screws. Because of this, the screws start to chip off, not allowing you to use the same screws again. Another problem is that when I bought some of these guys, one of them was broken, The fan blade part literally fell off and I could not put it back on since it used hot glue to keep it together. Because of this, I had to buy another one of these fans. When I tried to return the old fan, the shipping went up to 11 bucks, which costed more than the fan itself.

Overall Review: Buy at your own risk.

Works flawlessly
