NZXT Crafted Series Tempest 410 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
NZXT Crafted Series Tempest 410 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: I bought the Temptest 410 Elite, which is basicallly the same case but comes with an extra quality nzxt fan and has a clear side panel. Love this case. I like that it is somewhat edgy and looks very cool. But isn't to over-the-top and gamey that it is polarizing to only the gamer niche. Basically it still looks classy enough to have in an business or home office. Its somewhat large which I like, its easy to work on/install parts and has plenty of room for long graphics cards. But not to large that it looks ridiculous on your desk. Its made of very thick aluminum for a case. Tons and tons of room for cable management in the back; as well as the built in top Rad support makes for very clean insides and out. By far my favorite part is the easy, cable free front mounted fans.

Cons: My only problem was the copper contacts that the front mounted are somewhat delicate. One of them was slightly bent but still worked just fine. I contacted nzxt and they sent me replacement contact boards for both fans at no charge so Im happy with it.

Overall Review: This is the third nzxt case ive owned and very happy with it.

Decent price decent monitor

Pros: Middle of the Range Price Middle of the Range Display Just saying it is just good enough for the money nothing spectacular but not to bad for the money.

Cons: True colors (M,Y, Cyan) are decent buy my biggest complaint is the black levels. IF you have sometime near white and near complete black on the screen at the same time forget about it. The black detail is horrible. Even with a completely black screen you can see the back light bleeding in especially around the edges.

Overall Review: You get what you pay for. I bought as a display model for only $65 which is great for a second monitor, I leave all of my CAD and gaming to my awesome BENQ.

Awesome card

Pros: Great card and runs around 50c during games with a mild overclocking. Plus the metal Sapphire cut out on the side is led back-lit that adds a tiny bit of subtle bling to your case. There is also a button that can be pressed that glows blue when toggled, however im not to sure what it actually does. Im guessing something with overclocking however MSI afterburner works amazing.

Cons: Very large. Fit my case fine but make sure you have plenty of room.

Great Sound

Pros: Had for almost 2 months now and so far I love these. I hate that they are $20 more right now than what I paid. Very lightweight for a wireless headset and super comfy even with my enormous ears. The positional sound is excellent when used with the corsair drivers. For games be sure to set source as 5.1 and not 7.1. I wasn't sure which one to set it as but it became quite clear once set to 5.1 the positional sound is amazing.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Some people have complained that the earcups break and hang by a wire which I am worried about and being very careful with. I bought these and the CoolerMaster Storm sirus at the same time planning to return one. These were much easier to use and set up. Even though I liked the sound slightly better on the sirus they were very heavy and the software is very annoying to use.

Works great

Pros: Runs cool with now problems. Easy to overclock

Cons: I got this for free less than two months ago with the purchase of my motherboard. At the time it was $16 less (51.99).

Overall Review: Can't go wrong with corsair
