Absolutely fantastic
Pros: Really love the natural layout of this case - fantastic cable management and superior airflow with just the stock fans. The 200mm side fan is a must-have for internals that put out above-average heat. Easy installation of all parts and extremely sleek and sexy upon first boot - the white LEDs are to die for. Strong overall steel casing. Love that the lower HDD bay is removable and that the HDD caddies themselves will support mounting SSDs without extra hardware. Very pleased with the option to add more fans to the top.
Cons: The only real complaint I have with this case is the flimsy HDD caddies. Thankfully I haven't broke or damaged one yet but I see it as an accident waiting to happen. Wish they had constructed these out of a stronger material.
Overall Review: Overall the best case I have purchased and worked on. I highly recommend it to someone on a budget and still looking for superior performance and safe-housing for your expensive hardware.
Don't let this product near your CPU
Pros: It came in a box.
Cons: Wish I could give this no eggs...Or a rotten egg. Either will do. The drivers included do not work. Which is fine I suppose since you should always look on the manufactures website for the latest and greatest. Upon finding them on the dlink website, they did not install properly until one magical time when they decided to work. [?]. Still don't know what to say about that. Now, every time I restart my computer or put it to sleep for the night, I turn it back on in the morning to find that I have no internet access and my Wireless Connection Manager will not run. I mean seriously...what kind of garbage is this? How difficult does it have to be to install a simple wireless adapter? Save your money and the hassle and don't shop with this company. Just do a simple google search on how many people have thrown their hands up and purchased another product that actually WORKS.
Overall Review: I bought this from a retailer here in California - not through Newegg. Wanted to leave a review since Newegg is a trusted and highly popular website and to warn others about this garbage product.
Pretty nice little fans for a cheap price
Pros: Really love the white LEDS - matches the stock white LEDS of the Corsair Carbide 500R case. These fans were an add-on and were mounted to the top of the case itself. Very easy install and look super nice along with the other white LEDS. Very pleased with the purchase; good price and great quality!
Cons: Couldn't deduct an egg for this con but the fans are pretty loud. Could be due to the fact that they are on the top and therefore not dampened by any of the internals of the case itself. They pump hard and it sounds like a small little jet plane trying to take off. Wish they were just a touch quieter.
Overall Review: Overall a great purchase if you are okay with having your fans run a bit louder. Overall dropped my internal temperature by a few degrees like I needed.
Great monitor
Pros: Really love this display - crystal clear, bright and super sharp. Sleek design with a trustworthy base to support the monitor itself. Nice gloss black finish. All inputs work great [VGA, DVI, HDMI]
Cons: The built in speakers were a little silly honestly. I suppose they would be better than nothing if it comes down to it. But don't let the speakers be the selling point for you unless you have NO speakers at all - otherwise you will be disappointed.
Overall Review: Overall a great purchase and would recommend it to my friends and family.
