Review for the sniper!

CM Storm Sniper - Gaming Mid Tower Computer Case with Fan Controller and LED Light Switch
CM Storm Sniper - Gaming Mid Tower Computer Case with Fan Controller and LED Light Switch

Pros: Love the case, very roomy for upgrades, great cooling factor since it has 3 200mm fans in it. I ended up putting in a 140 mm at the bottm of the case, cools very good. I even like the fact that it has 3 LED lights and you can control them with the switch. And of course, very good cable management!

Cons: A few cons, but not to knock off any eggs. My 1st con is that when you have the computer on stanby, the power button is constantly blinking like a light show, lol, but it's a small con, just annoying for other people if they don't like small lights. My 2nd con is that the back fan doesn't have any dust filter, as mentioned in one of the reviews. I may have to look for a fan filter, or email cooler master directly. And my 3rd con is that it doesn't have enough led out to control the CPU cooler. I have a blue CPU cooler and works great, but would be great if I can control the LED function in that too.

Overall Review: Here is my story in a few words. I ended up 1st getting a Thermalake case, looks very good, but got me angry because of the cable management and wouldn't fit my CPU cooler, so I swapped it for a Antec Twelve Hundred. Don't get me wrong, was very cool, had 3 case fans for I think 6 hard drives and a 240 mm fan on top, but it was too big and didn't need 12 bays and it has a lot of screws to deal with!!! So finally, I returned that case to the store and ordered the Sniper black case. I'm very happy with this case and highly recommended it for anyone that wants good cooling and cable management. Good luck!

Not what I expected

Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Dual-Band N Router IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab
Linksys E4200 Maximum Performance Dual-Band N Router IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab

Pros: Can't think of anything good about, maybe a sleek design.

Cons: The config page sucks! It takes a long time to go from page to page, even the Netgear N750 is a lot faster. I wish I can give it zero eggs, and there is no power button like the N750 to turn it off. Who wants to pull the plug everytime? I'm going to return it to where I bought it and get my money back.

Good, but can be better

Pros: Very fast, wizard wasn't necessary, but helpful.

Cons: A little upset that it keeps dropping and I upgraded to the newest firmware out there, but I see there's an alternative firmware out there that can be used that's closed to it.

Overall Review: Once I get back from vacation, I'll test out the alternative firmware to see if that makes a difference. I'll post an updated feedbackin a few weeks.

It's so so, to be honest

Pros: It's easy to setup, has dual band which is 2.4 ghz and 5 ghz. It also has a separate guest network for isolation if you have your friends or neighbor over go on the internet.

Cons: I'm giving it 2 eggs because it is supposed to be very good with the firmware dd-wrt, but I notice that the 2.4 ghz drops from 300 mbps to about 144 or sometimes 48 mbps, which sucks and my wireless card I got that supports up to 450 mbps keeps getting slower, less than 300 mbps on the 2.4, which is not good because I want other devices in the future to support the 300 mark.

Overall Review: If I knew that this would give issues with the dd-wrt, I wouldn't have bought this router. And I do have the latest firmware for dd-wrt.
