Most Favorable Review

Overall a good case

Sama  Jazovo-BK Black USB3.0 Steel  ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, 3 x120mm Black Fan (2 x front, 1x Rear Pre-Installed)
Sama Jazovo-BK Black USB3.0 Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, 3 x120mm Black Fan (2 x front, 1x Rear Pre-Installed)

Pros: Very clean lines, looks elegant. Most of the cabling went well.

Cons: OK, I had to move the fans to the side from the front, they were useless there. Can I get some of what the designers were on when they made some of these decisions? The hard disk cage is part of the case, it would be better if it were removable. The 4 egg rating is because of one fatal flaw. The SATA connectors on my Gigabyte ATX motherboard were behind the drive cage, completely unusable. So I shifted another board to this case where that wasn't a problem. More work, but I do that a lot anyway.

Overall Review: It would be perfect for any microatx board, due to the SATA block. Just pay attention to what part of your ATX mobo would be blocked, then it's fine. The appearance reminds me a tuxedo, sort of, don't ask me why. Well worth the price, it's quite sturdy.

Pros: Easy install, reads and writes

Cons: This my third unit, the previous 2 still work fine, and in point of fact they work better than this one. It's marked as "Green" as in environmentally friendly. What does that even mean here? Its read speed is half of what the older ones do.

Overall Review: It's fine if you don't need read speed.

Very well made

HSCCGI X4S CPU Cooler Silent CPU PWM 120mm RGB Fan 4 Continuous Direct Contact Heatpipes for TNTEL/AMD CPU(AM4 Compatible)

Pros: It cools better than most of my other units. The colored lights are a nice touch. The install was easy once I figured out that I needed to hook one side and press the other side down. Totally silent operation.

Cons: Not really a con if you pay attention to the specs. It is HUGE, but still fit in a mATX case with a width of 6-7\8". Just measure carefully. The only con I can come up with is that removing it is a lot harder than the install.

Overall Review: I would absolutely recommend this cooler, and if you can snag one on sale like I did, don't pass it up.

Did not perform as promised

TEAMGROUP C175 128GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive Rounded Streamlined Unibody Design Black Pearl Seamless Construction Matte and Glossy Finish, Speed Up to 100MB/s (TC1753128GB01)
TEAMGROUP C175 128GB USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive Rounded Streamlined Unibody Design Black Pearl Seamless Construction Matte and Glossy Finish, Speed Up to 100MB/s (TC1753128GB01)

Pros: It is recognized by my computer. The sale price was good.

Cons: Slowest write speed ever! As a test I transferred the same files to a Sandisk 2.0 Cruzer drive. 12 GB total, and the Sandisk was 40% faster. Testing against a Sandisk 3.1 Ultra was 80% faster.

Overall Review: I was fooled by an earlier review that lauded the performance of this drive. Buy it if want to, I'll never touch another Teamgroup USB drive.

Works great

Pros: Does what it should

Cons: Doesn't carry audio over (because DVI doesn't).

Overall Review: This allows me to connect multiple PCs to one hdmi monitor using a source switch.

Destroyed my mobo

Pros: Shipping was fast

Cons: See title. This was my second unit, the first was DOA. I should have stopped with that one, at least it didn't burn out my mobo.

Overall Review: Would I recommend this piece of drek? Only to an enemy. Nah, I wouldn't even do that.

RELIABLE

I would order from them again. As far as the drive enclosure goes, it works fine, but could use a longer cable.

Can't beat it for a Win 11 computer. I added a 500GB hard drive for storage, and have a 1 TB in case. Fast bootup, no problems so far.
