Most Favorable Review

It's a monster!

Inno3D Geforce GTX 770 2GB iChiLL HerculeZ X3 ULTRA OC GDDR5 Video Card GPU
Inno3D Geforce GTX 770 2GB iChiLL HerculeZ X3 ULTRA OC GDDR5 Video Card GPU

Pros: Cheap. Huge 3-slot cooling setup. Easily fast enough for 1080p gaming. Looks menacing in your case. Surprisingly not very noisy. Did I mention cheap?

Cons: Power usage is high compared to newer models, needs a fairly beefy power supply. Size is likely too large for smaller cases.

Overall Review: The best bang for the buck I could find in this crypto-ravaged market without resorting to an auction site. Refurb means you'll see a bent fin or a scuff here or there on the cooler but mine performs flawlessly, even survived a burn-in with furmark under OC. Speaking of which, the factory OC didn't show up with Geforce drivers so I loaded the proper specs with an OC utility. My only regret was not opting for the 4GB model but with the way these cards tend to disappear these days I didn't want to wait for payday and end up missing out. Still, very pleased with my purchase and I got plenty of likes on the pics I took of this beast in my rig so that's a nice bonus.

Ok, but no DVI cable

ViewSonic VA2231wm-LED Black 22" 5ms LED Backlight  Widescreen LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 DC 10,000,000:1 W/ Speakers
ViewSonic VA2231wm-LED Black 22" 5ms LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 DC 10,000,000:1 W/ Speakers

Pros: Affordable Built in speakers are handy if you don't have any 1080p

Cons: Does not ship with a DVI cable, only an analog D-sub cable. (Has a DVI port, just no cable) Front panel buttons are just awful to work with

Overall Review: Seriously irritated about the lack of a DVI cable, had I checked the photos a little better I might have noticed that but... why wouldn't it come with one? Hooking it up with the analog cable resulted in a washed out picture, bought a DVI cable and now it looks pretty good. Protip: If you ship a digital monitor with just one cable because you're too cheap to include both, you should probably make it the one that's actually DIGITAL. /cable rage Front buttons are mushy and unresponsive, badly labeled and unintuitive. Still, the screen is decent, high res for it's size, no bad pixels, base is solid and stable. All in all not too bad, but the lack of a DVI cable is mind-numbingly frustrating; would be 4 eggs if it had one included.

Rosewill DESTROYER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, comes with Three Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Top 120mm Fan, 1x Rear 120mm Fan, option Fans-2x Side 120mm Fan, 1x Top 120mm Fan, 1x Bottom Fan

Pros: Three 120mm fans are great Bottom mounted power supply Good ventilation all around Price is reasonable

Cons: Fit and finish leave something to be desired; side panels were surprisingly difficult to reattach, top fan cage was also rather stubborn Thumb screws have threading issues Hard drive cage is a pain in the "lower back", must remove front panel to install a hard drive... why? Front panel plastic is weak; cracked one of the plastic mounting pins on first removal to get at hard drive cage Not really much of a looker, but knew that on purchase

Overall Review: It's ok, not great. Installing components in this case was a much greater hassle than it had to be. I don't know if my case got warped or something, but it seemed like every removable part on this case did not want to go back in the way it came out. Even the thumb screws were difficult to work with. All nitpicks aside, it does the job; if you want a well ventilated case on the cheap, this works. If you plan on opening it a lot to change hardware, you might want to invest in something better. Average case gets an average rating.

Seems legit.

Ordered a refurb graphics card, was processed promptly, received packaged with almost too much padding and it worked perfectly out of the box. Good deal, would buy from again.
