Most Favorable Review

Don't count on the rebate.

CORSAIR CX Series CX430 430W 80 PLUS BRONZE Active PFC ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply

Pros: Nice power supply.

Cons: Unfortunately the rebate appears to be a scam.

Overall Review: Promotion number CM14-6481 is what is listed on the new egg PDF rebate instructions but this code is not valid. Calling support will get you a person that can do nothing for you and says "try mailing it in and see if that works.... sometimes you can not do them online" What a sorry line to feed someone, but that's what you get when you contract out you rebate dept. to a larger company. You (Corsair) should not even do rebates if you can not verify they are being handled correctly.

Nice

Antec Solo Black/Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Many nice features... 1. spring loaded thumb screws that do not come off the door so you can't loose them. 2. Drive mounting is bungee or typical slide rail system that is so reliable. 3. front of case swings open for drive install after open it will easily lift off. Behind this is two more no lose thumb screws that open a filtered door that allows access to a optional fan and hard disc placement. 4. I am sure there is more I missed... Quality built case with a classy look and a very tame amount of blue from the power button and hd light that shines through the front air vents.

Cons: Power and Reset buttons feel a little on the cheap side and once you see how they are mounted you will see why. I wouldn't steer away from this nice case because of it but its something worth noting.

Overall Review: Really a classy looking case, I have a antec 900 waiting to be built, but after seeing this case I kinda want to ditch the 900 and get another of these. The 900 is a great case but I now am wanting more class and less bling. But I will prob. stick with 900 anyway, at least the 900 will let me get creative with modding.
