not bad

NZXT SWITCH 810 Black CA-SW810-B1 Steel / Plastic ATX HYBRID Full Tower Gaming Computer Case
NZXT SWITCH 810 Black CA-SW810-B1 Steel / Plastic ATX HYBRID Full Tower Gaming Computer Case

Pros: Lots of space, mounted a xspc ex360 in the top in a push pull config with plenty of clearance between the motherboard and the fans. Able to pack 12 120mm fans in this case. Plenty of clearance behind the motherboard to manage cables. The price was right

Cons: The hot swap bay is kind of pointless, side window scratches when cleaned with paper towels, has a cheep fell to the plastic, would have rather had the case in a matt black or black brushed aluminum instead of finger print city piano black finish. I think the quality of my tempest, phantom and gamma cases are better.

Overall Review: The is the best budget case I have ever owned

EDIMAX EW-7811Un 150 Mbps Wireless IEEE 802.11b/g/n Nano USB Adapter
EDIMAX EW-7811Un 150 Mbps Wireless IEEE 802.11b/g/n Nano USB Adapter

Pros: These things are small, I was tired of my wifi adapter occupying a pci-e slot and wanted something that was usb and I could just plug in and forget about it that would not get in the way.

Cons: I bought two of these one for my intel i7 rig and one for my amd rig, no surprise to me my amd rig had issues with the wireless adapter(nothing to do with EDIMAX). This thing is slowwwwww, My router is 15ft no walls or anything in between, took 3hrs 30min to move 6.64gb from one pc to another

Overall Review: Great for the price always stays connected.

Nice

Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid Cooling System

Pros: Replaced a 2 year old Cool it ALC, runs a few degrees cooler and is quieter, did not have to put crazy loud high pressure fans on the rad.

Cons: None

Great display card

MSI GeForce 210 512MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card N210-MD512D3/LP
MSI GeForce 210 512MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card N210-MD512D3/LP

Pros: Cheep pci-e card, Was able to play metro 2 1024x768 every thing on low, looked terrible but was able to play it, but is not why I bought the card. Plays CCS:Source fine, this card reminds me of my old x850 xt pe from 04 except it was 30.00 and not 500.00.

Cons: None really, displays video and pass through audio on hdmi and has no problems with video playback so would probably be a good choice for htpcs

Overall Review: Overclocked it to 720mhz core /822mhz mem ran vantage for a few chuckles and got 0 fps through much of the bench mark my over all score was 0 and my gpu score was 820 after the oc. If you want a sub 100.00 for gaming go with the geforce gt 440 or better go with the gts 450 with gddr5

Pros: 6/13/08 - 4/21/12 had a full long life, then on 4/21/12 it was being used to power up a hard drive and sparks flew and the smell of electronic death filled the room.

Cons: none
