Most Favorable Review

does what I need

Rosewill RC-400-LX - Network Adapter 10 / 100 / 1000 Mbps PCI 1 x RJ45
Rosewill RC-400-LX - Network Adapter 10 / 100 / 1000 Mbps PCI 1 x RJ45

Pros: works great on windows 7 - in fact you do not even need to install drivers for it. My mobo does not want to work on 100mbps, but this card is. Also it greats to know that I can go to 1000Mbps if I need to

Cons: do not see any

Most Critical Review

great case but support sucks, 140mm fans ticking noise

Pros: love it, spacious and comes with the all fans you need (but see below). Build quality is awesome, easy to build and great choice for air cooled builds. it is huge so make sure you understand dimensions.

Cons: - All 3 140mm make ticking noise at low rpm. 180mm are fine. I tried to contact Fractal support and it is really awful. They do not reply to you for many days. I am still waiting for them since Dec 6th (as of Dec 30th). I wish I could talk to the management. This is not acceptable. I was a loyal Fractal customer but not anymore.

Overall Review: awesome case if you are okay with the irritating low rpm noise 140mm fans make. Probably not that good for AIO liqued cooling builds but awesome for air cooled builds. It would be completely silent for me with my Ryzen 9 7900x cpu and ref 6950xt gpu at idle or light workloads but because of 140mm fans, unfortunately it is pretty annoying for my ears and Fractal support is not existing to help me out and make it right for me.

Pros: I really like how it looks and how it feels in your hand - perfect shape and grip, lot of buttons

Cons: I bought it for my home system but buttons click way too loud and I really mean it. my wife could here me playing from another room! so I had to take it work and use it there now

Pros: it works and I cannot hear it!

Cons: not that I noticed

ASUS P7P55D-E LX LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P7P55D-E LX LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: great motherboard, tons of features and overclocking out of the box. USB3 and SATA6 for future upgrades, but at the same time PATA so I do not need to buy SATA DVD burner and backup HDD. Started right away with me new I7 860 and Kingston memory

Cons: No typical screws for motherboard that I always used to get even with cheap mobos. Economy still tough for ASUS?? Common it is not that expensive to throw mounting screws

awesome psu!

Pros: amazing psu - nice box, cords, the way it looks and the biggest pros for me it is so silent that you cannot hear it. and price is great even before rebate. I used to have Antec basiq 500wt and there is no comparison. That guy was loud and did not look so expensive like this one (but worked fine after all)

Cons: cords are quite long but it is not big deal - they include everything you need to make them nice

Overall Review: for reference I downgraded from 500Wt to 400Wt and after running a few heavy 3d tests my system is stable and so quite! I have q6600, pny 8800gt 512mb, 4gb DRAM2 800 Mgz (4x1Gb), one IDE and one SATA HDD, one IDE DVD burner, PCI turner, PCI sound card and PCI network card. Mb MSI P6N SLI
