Pretty good

NZXT Phantom PHAN-002OR Newegg Exclusive Black Finish w/Orange Trim Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Overall great case. Good room inside, and I like how simple it is to put in and take out hard drives. For my first build, this case was a good choice imho.

Cons: But some of the screws holding the back panels were made incorrectly, and they were just jammed in. Me and a buddy spent around 2 hours just trying to get at least two screws out so we could at least put in my graphics card, but they just kept turning and turning and wouldn't come out. Eventually we had to brute force them.

Overall Review: Besides the insanely frustrating screw issue, I'm really liking the case.

Alright except for audio

GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P (rev. 2.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Works really well overall. Fit perfectly in my case and handles just about anything

Cons: About a month ago I started getting these really really weird audio issues that I could've only assumed came from the on board audio on the motherboard, as I hadn't bothered with a soundcard. Picked up a soundcard and the problem smoothed right out, but still, something to be wary of

Overall Review: It's good for the price, but I do kinda wish I'd gotten a little higher quality of a motherboard after these audio issues I got not even a full year after owning it

Good while it lasted

Pros: Looks beautiful Good response time Loved it while it lasted

Cons: It just died on me after 4 months. Not sure if I got a dud or not, but keep that in mind.

Overall Review: I loved this monitor while it lasted, and although it's got a good price for how good it is, I'm honestly hesitating at buying another of the same model. I may just upgrade in general.
