perfect!
Pros: this motherboard is great. it looks great. very sleek. easy install. i love showing it off. a lot of nice features. best of all you can over clock it instantly witht the push of a button thats directly on the board.
Cons: the only "problem" was the location of the sata ports. they are on the edge of the board making it a 90 degree plug in. might not be a problem depending on the case you have/get, but for me the first two are a pain to plug in.
Overall Review: had no problem connecting to the internet. dont know whats going on with all the people having problems. installed the drives off the disc. plugged my ethernet in and i was off.
decent
Pros: Light weight. comes with a power supply. mostly (thin) metal.
Cons: Very bare bones. No hiding cables with this case. The case is metal but its thin. The power supply is held in with a few screws and a very thin and weak metal flap. The hard drive bays are the same thin metal flaps nothing else to secure them with. Its only holds two fans.
Overall Review: I got this in a bundle. I knew this would be worthless so i ordered a better case and psu too. glad i did that. i know its made in china and built with cost in mind but this is not worth $45. $20 max. if youre looking to build a simple bare bones computer this would probably work just fine. I gave mine away because it was useless to me.
Great case
Pros: Everything. Great case. Lots of space for whatever you need. Hid all my wires very well giving me a very clean looking build. Holds a crazy amount of hard drives. Nice airflow right out of the box with three included fans (can add more if needed). My favorite feature was the built in fan control. It allows you to run three fans without plugging into your motherboard (with speed control)This was nice because my mini atx only supports one case fan. It's also very sleek looking. Has a nice big side window to show off all your work.
Cons: I had only two cons. 1. When taking off the front panel you have to be careful to not yank the front panel cords. I don't reccomend messing with the front cover with the pc on. Pulling the cords the wrong way or too much will shut the pc off. I could also see the wires breaking away from the panel over time. 2. There's not a lot of places to put a ssd. Lots of options for hdds. I'm only using one ssd so it's not a big problem. This case has many great features that make up for these two things.
Overall Review: If you plan to use an internal optical drive you have to use a slim low profile one. I didn't plan on using an optical drive too often so I just bought an external one for when I do need one.
Great
Pros: Small size, fast load, and makes zero sound. These are reliable and tough.
Cons: nothing
Overall Review: this is my second kingston ssd. i use it along side two hdd's. I have my os on the ssd and all my games on the other hard drives. with the os on the ssd my computers boots up in under a minute. Its so small too takes up very little space. Im using my second one for a mini atx build.
Perfect
Pros: Its a xbox 360 controller. Its a fast setup. takes less that two minuets to get running. If you like playing xbox with this controller than youll love playing your pc with it.
Cons: Doesnt have a way to turn off the controller out of the box. you have three options 1. download a program. 2. take of the battery pack or 3. wait for it to auto turn off after a few minutes. i just take the battery pack off a little bit until it turns off. A little inconvenient but im not taking away any eggs.
nice screen
Pros: This is a very nice screen at a great price. It has a very thin almost none existent bezil making it great for a multi screen set up. i purchased three for my new build and im happy with them. HDMI, VGA and DVI ports. comes with one of each cable and a VGA to DVI adapter.
Cons: i bought three and one of them sits lower then the other two. kinda of irritating, but not unbearable . reading through other reviews ive noticed other people that have had other inconsistencies like this.
Overall Review: one screen came with a dead pixel. one dead pixel bewteen three screens isnt bad. you only see it when the screen is completely black during cut scences and what not.
