great case

Antec Nine Hundred Two Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec Nine Hundred Two Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Great case, Built a I7 Intel around this case and it works perfect and installed a coolmaster 212 plus and fits without a problem, there where no instruction but there easy to find online not that you really need it as everything marked very clearly, also they must have updated the cases as mine has a opening on the back plate for the cooler on the mother board, I even checked to make sure they sent me the right thing and it was so not sure why everyone else case does not offer this opening for the CPU fan back plate

Cons: none

Overall Review: buy this case you will love it as will fit almost anything inside, i even have a large gtx 260 video card and fits with room to spare

Most Critical Review

Could have been better

CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX4GX3M2A1600C9
CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX4GX3M2A1600C9

Pros: Bought 2 sets of these and one set has ran without a problem and the computer really fly's, the second set was dead after 24 hr and now wait on my return set from corsair, just to let you know I always thought corsair was one of the top names in the computer world but they just told me there so back logged with returns it will take an extra 5 days on top of the original date given before they can ship new memory (1 month in total)....that tell me something about there quality now days

Cons: do yourself a favor and spend the extra $10-$20 more and get better memory with less hassle, what it cost me to ship the memory back to corsair i could have done that

asus

ASUS P7P55D Deluxe LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P7P55D Deluxe LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Really nice looking board and has many cool features,my first ASUS Motherboard as always read they where the best but this board not one of them, think I will move on to another manufacture

Cons: this board will not recognize more than two sticks of ram, and this seem be a on going issue that asus knows about,if I place 4 sticks of the same brand/type into all four slots the system will freeze up and will have to reboot,ram work perfect just the motherboard does not like more than two sticks of ram

HT  OMEGA CLARO Plus+ 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Sound Card
HT OMEGA CLARO Plus+ 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Sound Card

Pros: Nice sound ,driver work with all my games where creative driver failed at every turn

Cons: this is not a high end audio card by any means other than the large price as the sound was not better than my 6 year old creative card that I paid less than $60.00,so if you have on board audio need a new card this will work but it way over price ,try looking at other offer in this price range

Overall Review: wound have been nice if the digital coaxial would have worked but reading other reviews this seem to be a common problem with this card wish newegg had a better return policy as stocking fee are to high,better to keep the product than try return something

good but not good enough

HT  OMEGA STRIKER 7.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Card
HT OMEGA STRIKER 7.1 Channels PCI Interface Sound Card

Pros: Sound card was well built and look to last a life time, i had to return this after 25 days as my high end speaker picked up every flaw this card had and after many emails to tech support we where unable to make it sound right,tech support is great and hands down the best in the sound card buisness

Cons: poor sound quality but if you just have onboard sound this card will rock your world,sure the HT Omega claro would sound awesome and do everything i need it to do but will hold off buy that one right now do to the higher price

cheap memory
