Thor is fitting
Pros: -Plenty of fans that run pretty quietly -Its very large and has room for all your computer components and airflow -Design is sleek, modern, but not over the top. Brush metallic control panel. -Drastically Large -Good clips to hold hard drives in place -Nice cable management for me -Great lighting -Bang for your buck
Cons: Slight annoyances -The Thor name lighting is not working (don't know which plug I may be missing). Contacted Rosewill, no response. -The fins up top have a really cheap feeling slider button -Somewhat annoying case doors, takes a little jiggling to slide them in right. -Heavy
Overall Review: I love the look of this beast and the fins up top are pretty cool looking. The most comparable one is the brand that markets master high airflow, but this is a nicer alternative to me because I don't need windows on my case nor cheesy logo branding and indents. Newegg pictures do no justice and i thought it was ugly at first, but I researched it a bit online and it actually looks very impressive. It's large and intimidating, but I love it. One of the few cases that looks good when it's turned off. Would be drooling over it if they made it into brushed aluminum metal case. Its hard to not give it 4+ eggs because of its price.
Decent Gaming Mouse
Pros: *looks nice *feels comfy *interesting lights
Cons: *strange sensitivity problem on battlefield bad company, the right mouse button does not allow me to aim properly and causes the screen to either move to the right or flash to the bottom.
Overall Review: The combat the problem I had above, I just use the side "third button?" to aim, which works great anyways. I wish I could keep the led glow on one color because it switches from purple to green and red, etc and would've preferred red to match my other equipment. I bought this at a great price, so i can't complain too much.
Good for desktop
Pros: -consistent
Cons: none
Overall Review: Simple and works well. I don't have the fastest internet ever(20mbps), but it keeps it close to that speed. Haven't had a drop in signal or driver problems like my laptop. Its good for the money.
Fairly Impressed
Pros: -No issues once running -Maintains a steady temperature -Looks pretty! -power button on mb is convenient when testing
Cons: -Had a problem with getting the RAM to sit in, somewhat of a pain clip design. Had to take it a professional computer repairer to make sure I wasn't going to smash the RAM into the wrong place. -Not very novice builder friendly (manual is junk and explanation of the BIOS settings for OC is worthless -I'm disappointed because I thought this MB would make OC easy) -Needs more fan controls -fatality branding is extremely excessive
Overall Review: This is my first gaming computer build and everything is very different from MB a couple years ago. The Ram clips were annoying, being a noob that I am I'm used to being able to push down on both slides and locking the ram in. Very annoying to say the least. The Sata plug ins have to be in specific ones and I had a hard time getting to it because of my video card was over them (but the GPU is required to be over a certain pci express slot). I mean this is a gaming branded MB, so I thought they would something like that figured out. I also have a case with a lot of fans, but there are not enough plugs in for that. It does have plenty of inputs for all your accessories though and once working it is great. I think the F-stream tuning for OC is a great idea, but I haven't used it yet and the new BIOS is so much easier to use. My largest complaint is that the fatality branding is too excessive, you will see his face when your computer starts and in the BIOS. It's pretty annoying.
Max settings
Pros: -Max settings on all the recent games I love -Great factory overclock -Price was nice -Quiet dual fans
Cons: -Not familiar with brand -LARGE
Overall Review: This was used in my very first PC build and i told myself I will go all out or bust. So the gtx570 is the one best performing cards for the money. This single card can max out all my games without a problem or without blowing up on me. Actually being able to play shogun 2 on ultra settings brings tears to my eyes. I have not noticed any drop in frames or stuttering in the picture. I do not look at the actual FPS because that will annoy me, but everything appears very smooth. This card made gaming exciting again and puts my consoles to shame. Even though I have not heard of this brand, I think you give them a shot. Will SLI later when I get the money!
Rosewill does the job
Pros: -Simple works great -Comes with organized accessories -Uses only the cables that you need -fairly quiet -1000 watts for a good price
Cons: -blue light doesn't match the rest of my pc, but that is my mistake
Overall Review: Used this on my first computer build ever and it runs very well and I'm glad that it hasn't started smoking or shorting out on me! It was on a very excellent price and should handle my demanding graphic cards in SLI mode. From what I heard, you never go too low on the power supply, it's good to always have that extra juice.
