This is the most unique and well-built case on the planet!

Pros: I looked at just about every case out there and chose this one, and am really glad I did. I don't change cases very often, but when I built my new Ryzen system I wanted it to look as good as it runs - and it does! It gets a lot of oos and ahs. And cooling is impeccable! I run a Corsair H105 and the 1700X shows idle at 23C, a good 10C less than when it was in my Cooler Master HAF case. The RGB lighting control that comes with the case runs 6 fans, so I put three more Corsair SP120s in the back and radiator, and this thing is beautiful in the dark! Ran the first 4 off my MSI motherboard, and the radiator pair from the cpu header. Perfect! And the RGB buttons on the top are brilliant.
Cons: I honestly can't think of anything I don't like about this case. I thought it would weigh a ton with all the glass, but it actually doesn't. The only shortcoming is the wiring channel on the backside, as many others have complained about. Out of the box the channel with cover is almost full, so there was no way I could get the cover back on when I was finished, but luckily the backside goes against the kick on my desk so it isn't even visible. I also was careful about keeping extra cables tied and under the power supply shroud, so it all looks really good. Yes, the power supply shroud could cover the entire bottom without a lot of manufacturing effort, but I knew the shortcoming going in and worked around it.
Overall Review: I've run my own computer shop for years and have worked at many others, so I've had exposure to just about every case configuration imaginable - this one is truly unique. As I've read on other reviews, yes - it's a dust magnet. But that's a good thing. The front filter catches most everything before it goes into the case, is easy to wash and dry, and not that tough to get to. And pulling the front glass to get to the filter gives you the chance to shine it up before putting it back on. And the front glass allows you to see when the filter needs cleaning.
Started out good...

Pros: Fast CPU! If everything in this tablet had kept working it would have been an excellent unit for the money!
Cons: The wireless was weak then it stopped working all together. Audio was exactly the same - it just completely stopped working.
Overall Review: When I initially opened the box and charged this unit I was really pleased. It was fast, and worked great! After three days use the wireless and then the audio just stopped working. I sent this back for a refund today - just hoping I get my money back.
Nice Monitor But...

Pros: This has a nice, clear picture and good colors in 4k.
Cons: I run this on a Display Port cable connected to a Radeon RX5700 card with a pair of Asus 2k monitors on either side, also Display Port. Randomly, the Acer goes black and comes back on dimmer. I even bought three higher quality cables, no change. It will do this randomly throughout the day. It is running in HDR and Freesync just like the other two, set at 144Hz. It doesn't matter what the settings are, it still goes black and comes back dimmer. After a while, it will go black and come back bright. I can't figure out why this is happening.
Overall Review: Overall, this is a nice monitor, but I would like to know why it is tweaking on me. The Asus monitors are bright and stable, it's just this one that does weird things. I don't want to even think about trying to take it off the rack and return it, so I wish someone could either give me a hint or solve this for me. Unlike when you buy from elsewhere, I can't see anywhere to click and get manufacturer's support.
Received Today - Need To Update My Review

Pros: Okay quality PLA - runs through my Lotmaxx Shark and prints okay.
Cons: This PLA is a duller color than is depicted in the photo. Printed product is very brittle and breaks easily. UPDATE: I have printed two items with this filament and went to print a third and it kind of freaked me out - the filament was broken off and I had to use hemostats to carefully remove the broken pieces - it was actually broken in three places.
Overall Review: High price for what it. Won't be reordering. Printed items are brittle and break easily. After a couple days with this stuff I can highly recommend that you DO NOT ORDER THIS STUFF! It's cheap, brittle, and the color is dull. Since buying my printer this is absolutely the worst filament I have purchased so far!
Okay Machine But Very Frail & Customer Service Does Not Exist

Pros: Once you take the time to level the machine successfully it works okay but it's VERY noisy. It was a fairly logical sequence to assemble and start using the machine.
Cons: Customer service is terrible. When I contacted them and explained I could not get their included drivers to set up on my Windows 10 Pro machine, they wanted me to shoot a VIDEO of the problem and send it to them. What?!? You want a video of the device driver not seeing the device? Typical Chinese response to have you send a video - not applicable in this situation. I had the machine for less than 30 days and by that point it was dripping black burned PLA onto the build plate and mixing discolored burned PLA into my prints. From the appearance of the print head when I took it apart to return it, I'm thinking this printer would last a month or two before you started having major problems and would have to start replacing major parts. And the worst part is that this thing is noisy as heck! Even in a separate room I could not run it at night because of the high level of noise - nobody could sleep through it. Once you finally get the bed leveled do not turn the machine off or you will lose your adjustments and have to level the bed all over again.
Overall Review: I assembled this machine and when I was ready to level and print it was very difficult. The documentation that comes with it is very very weak. They assume you have extensive experience with 3D printers. Leveling was really confusing and difficult but I got it done. I could NOT get the included drivers to set up. I searched for compatible drivers on the internet - never found one. A computer interface to the printer is very important to me - if you can't slice the file and send it to the printer through a cable you are left with removing the micro SD, moving the file to it on your computer, reinserting the SD into the printer, ... Pain in the posterior. So I returned the printer and hopefully they will refund me.
Not An Easy Changeout - Booted Into Windows & IT SHUT OFF!!!

Pros: Nice packaging
Cons: I have a custom Ryzen system in a Corsair tempered glass case with a lot of wiring routing. The changeout took some time. I'm not a novice - been working in the computer biz for almost 40 years. Got everything done, fired the machine up and as soon as it booted into Windows this PSU just shut off. I tried it without the "eco" switch on and the same thing. Double-checked all wiring, same thing. I don't normally buy off-brand stuff, especially PSUs, but needed to replace my aging Antec PSU & upgrade to modular. BAD CALL. Spent almost another hour redoing the changes and put the Antec back in. Now I'm typing this on the machine and it's doing fine. So much for "upgrading".
Overall Review: It doesn't really matter if they put a 10 or a 1000 year warranty on this unit, IT DOES NOT WORK - faulty out of the box. Looks nice but the bottom line is it's just Chinese junk. I got the Antec blown out & clean so I'll run it until it passes on.
Nice fast machine
I installed a WD Black 2TB Enterprise drive and loaded Windows 7 Pro - surprised me how fast it went. Will install a Radeon low profile card and should be an awesome machine!
Turns Out This Ships From CHINA - Surprise!
I ordered this item on October 6th thinking I would easily get it in time for Halloween. Turns out it ships from China, so I'm thinking I will receive this Halloween decoration in time for Thanksgiving, maybe Christmas - who knows? Newegg really should indicate clearly WHERE the item you are ordering is going to be shipped from, like the "A" site does - as it is now you find out AFTER the order has processed and shipped.
Minecraft won't download...
Grid activated and downloaded from Steam no problem; old game but still fun. Through no fault of the seller Minecraft refused to download - Microsoft deal, not K4play. They were great - refunded money right away. Thanks!
