Overall Review: cpu i5 750
i need someone from thermetake to reply
Pros: It's a power supply its modular its 575watt it has a 5 year warranty
Cons: I need to know hearing about power supplies lighting on fire it starts with a clicky noise, now I think its the fan but Not sure there is a very distinct clicking noise And I knees to know what to do, I've watched videos and no clicky noise do I send it back or not worry its loud it came hear all the way from like north Dakota I live in Oregon very far please reply thermatake please reply
Overall Review: It seems like its just the fan but I need to know
Heer to stay,this is better than all other cases less than 100$
Pros: no loud fan noise like some cases stock, they are fast and whisper quiet, my psu is another story, huge bass dust filters, most cases can't compare to this, i was almost about to buy the corsair carbide 500 R, but it would have been a waste of money, because the corsair 500r doesn't have ventilation on both sides of the case. I truly believe this case is the best under $60,$70,$80,$90,$100 case, and till someone can find a case with better features than this one no one can prove me wrong, i posted once to give a review, now im posting this as a future report and to anyone even considering a case like oh the cougar challanger is the best example, *5 case, this has biger dust filters, more graumets, better HDD and SSD expansion bays, more space, sleek buisness/office/gaming design and better air flow, it doesnt show but on top there is enough room to put i think a radiator the size of 2 140 mm fan, and a nice gutout that has been rounded off very profesionally to run liquid cooling tubes to a giant radeator, i mean this cuttout is huge. overall if i built computers for people why go for any other case, the only reason i could think of is plexi glass, lighting is more of something a user should do like me, im going to be installing A BUNCH of cathode, because the dust filters are foam it tis great for apearence when you install lighting, and one more reason i went with this case over others is its fan options, sais up to 10, they are WRONG way more fans can be installed, more like 15 if you try, 120mm, 1400, or mixes of 140, 120 and 100 or 80, so many options for this case, and if you think water cooling would look stupid in this case believe me it would work better than most and mixed with lighting and proper fans this would be a great dream build case.
Cons: OK the disk drive covers are also dust filters, and metal, but bend and are stubborn, my first build and everything is great and if this bothers you then just put in a fan controller and Blu ray or expansion bay for HDD or SSD, great now i want a HDD expansion bay lol nothing is bad about this case in just about every way, fans are great, dust filters are great, looks are great, mounts are proper, HDD rack is insane and screw less HDD bays are great flimsy enough to sculpt any HDD, but hard enough to not vibrate for get affected by weight, because those 10,000 RPM HDD by western digital look heavy.
Overall Review: if you want wire management, water cooling options, dust filters, huge cpu cutout, open ventilation HDD bay, black appearance, screw less bays, usb 3.0, extra case space and up to 15 fans in 1 case option, Huge area for any graphics card including the biggest radeon on the market and possibly the asus mars 580 card, this is the right case im using an i5 750 @3.2 GHz a geforce 250 gts 12 gb of ram @1333, antec h20 kuhler liguid cooling system (asetec pump radiator, antec fan) intel mobo (cheap old) HDD @ 7200 RPM, %00, going to be installing a 560 soon by msi, it will look great with my lighting in this case, with a 575 watt PSU by thermaltake (very loud but cheap gold certified and modular)
great 50ft for less than 5!
Pros: long, thick cable, very fast, reliable, durable, transportable, blue, cat 6 (for my cisco e4200 its the fastest tested and approved wire type) matches my rosewill r5 case, very easy to wrap, its almost coiled because of the wire cover quality
Cons: not made in america( sorry for exporting american money to china, at least im not the president lol) linus hasn't said anything about it, he probably has one, but if he doesn't. Also its bits at the end of the cable are not metal bu tfor $5 i get what i get, if i choose a cat 5 for $5 it would have metal bits, but i was told this has speed advantages that being said, make sure your router can handle the speed of this cable (most can) dont just buy because its cheap, i contacted cisco before buying Rosewill should send linus tech tips one of these cables to review
Overall Review: cat 6 cable( gets all the speed we pay charter for and then some) less than $5 when i bought, coming from a LAN party person this is the best thing next to wireless N for LAN parties, AC isn't ready, N is faster, don't believe me research tests and such and you decide conditions i use this cable for: indoor (confident outdoor would work fine) also my tech knowledge is research, I'm not linus or paul from newegg, but i know how to assemble computers, dissemble, check for problems and tech specs are my stronger point, i cant tell you why the nvidia Geforce 660 ti is more efficient than the 560 and performs better, but i can tell you why running more than 60 fps doesn't mean anything without a monitor than runs at 60hz, or refresh rate, and having a faster clocked Amd processor means nothing if its faster than the Intel with a lower clock, the real comparison is them both at the same clock water cooled, thats my tech knoledge
greatest $60 cooler on the market ready for gaming long periods of time
Pros: seeled liquid, didnt come broken or leaking. I bought this and Prolimatech PRO-PK1-5G PK-1 Thermal Compound - 5 Gram, so i wiped the kind that was on it off and put on a little of the PK1 on it and sandwitched the radiator between 2 120mm and plugged the fan in front into the outlet on the cooler. I had this giant $20 direct contact copper heat sink and my i5 750 was running at 50 c while running minecraft and a server and 47 c while playing other games like left for dead 2, so i replaced it the day it ran 62 c and now it runs 30 c while playing left for dead 2 and most games, 35-40 c while running minecraft and a server with 4 people and 28 c while it idles. its nice k nowing your system goes doen in temp when its on and not being used, for example my pc after 4hrs of idle would run at 35 c when i turned it on it was running at 30 c, now i start up on 28 and occasianally it drops to 26! nice job antec
Cons: it auto ajusts its speed of the fan and pump no way i know of how to ajust it to prefference, long life/ speed
Overall Review: great for intel, but for those cheapskates who use amd there wouldn't be enough power for it because you to busiy frying after a year of use and using all 500 watts your psu has, letting your radeon die of starvation letting nvidia and intel melt you like the terminator in t2, great movie you should watch it, to bad you have to watch it ON YOUR TV AMD losers
beautiful case and nothing less!
Pros: endless-fan filters,build quality, HDD air flow, easy install bays, mesh and foam dust filers over unused disk drive bays, grommets inside case for wire management, 4 grommets for exterior radiators and water cooling systems,more than 10 spots to mount fans, 10 clearly marked spots to mount fans, huge cpu cutout,spots for fans and dust fillers on top, if this isn't enough to buy then just stop looking at this case!
Cons: disk drive bays are kinda hard to put back in if u want to put them back (im a very picky person and that didn't bother me) not everything is covered in dust filters YET (later plans) for a $70 nothing matters at this level, if this was a cm storm oh yeah it would get 4 stars hard core, but like this case more than my friends antec 300, they DON'T have cable management
