Most Favorable Review

This cooler keeps the CPU frosty

Phanteks PH-TC12DX Dual 120mm PWM CPU Cooler, AM4 Compatible
Phanteks PH-TC12DX Dual 120mm PWM CPU Cooler, AM4 Compatible

Pros: GREAT CPU COOLER! Keeps my CPU nice and cool. very nicely constructed. have this mounted on my AMD Phenom II 965 Black edition and it is so much more quiet then stock cooler and running about 20 Degrees cooler. mounting instructions a fairly easy to follow and installation took about 5 minutes. I would recommend this cooler to anyone looking for a nice quiet and efficient Air cooling solution for their build.

Cons: Have to be able to find one!

Overall Review: With 4 colors to choose from you can fdind one to match almost any build. the only thing you could really ask for is make a few more colors lol.

Great looking and functional

Big, Beautiful and Bold

NZXT SWITCH 810 Gun-Metal CA-SW810-G1 Steel / Plastic ATX HYBRID Full Tower Gaming Computer Case
NZXT SWITCH 810 Gun-Metal CA-SW810-G1 Steel / Plastic ATX HYBRID Full Tower Gaming Computer Case

Pros: This case is huge, even after reading the dimensions before buying it doesn't really strike how big this tower is until you pull it out of the box and see it with your own eyes but big is what I wanted. Make my ATX MOBO look tiny. I have very large hands and this case has so much room to work in that I was able to assemble this computer with ease. Air flow is amazing in this case, I have a total of 14 fans in this case (10 140mm case fans, 2 120mm CPU fans, 1 GPU fan and 1 140mm PSU fan) and this case runs cooler then any case I have EVER owned and quieter. This case includes a fan hub that runs 7 fans which is a great option, but I opted not to use it. Instead I used 2 NZXT fan controller to have more direct control over my fans. Also wanted to add that the 2 fans on the HDD cages can be angle to improve airflow directed at your video cards, this is a huge plus in my book. Cable management in this case is wonderful. This the First case I have ever owned with built in cable management integrated into it, all other cases I have owned I had to Custom mod for cable Management. It is a truly wonderful thing and saved me hours on my build. Dust filters on this case are a blessing, there again this is also the first case I have owned with dust filters and it's amazing. I have been building computer for about 20 years and wonder why they never thought of these 20 years ago lol. the window in this case is perfect, you can see all the components that you want to see, but hides all the ones that you don't. The LED lighting on the rear of the case is a brilliant idea, makes hooking up wire in low or no light a breeze. This cause is truly wonderful case, it fulfills all my air cooling plus has all the options I would ever need if I choose to water cool my system. Bottom line if you don't mind the size then I would recommend this case to anyone.

Cons: Though this case is close to perfect, there are still i few items that I believe NZXT could improve. The door to the front USB port is very stiff and hard to open. The tool less design is a great concept but the was far to much play in the 5.25 bay for my optical drive and fan controllers that I still had to screw them down. On the other they got the tool less system for the HDD working perfectly. The cable management in this case is great but I would have loved to see a few more tie down points closer to the HDD cages, would have made running cables in this are a lot easier. Raised Feet options for this case would be greatly beneficial as it would greatly increase air flow through the bottom of the case. Also for those who would have no other option but to set this case on a carpeted floor would have greatly decreased air flow. though these are cons in my books, but this case is a wonderful and well design piece of equipment and deserves 5 eggs, as they do not hinder performance or functionality in anyway and would not sway me from recommending this case to anyone else.

Overall Review: This case is very stylist and stealthy. Very Appeasing to the eye. Also a Personal recommendation to anyone who would be using this case as it is very large and a bit on the heavy side I would recommend taking the front and top panel off the case before moving the case as they cant be opened fairly easily and the tabs could potentially be broken. I found this much easier for me anyways.

very nice fan controller

Fan Controller w/ Five 30 watts Channels
Fan Controller w/ Five 30 watts Channels

Pros: This is the first ever fan controller that I have used. The ease of use and the great functionality is more then I could have asked for. The sliders have a nice smooth yet tight slide so no worrying about any vibrations changing your fan settings.

Cons: I wish NZXT would have added some soft back lighting around the sliders as they can be hard so see at night with the lights off, kind of have to feel around for them.

Overall Review: All and all I am Running 2 of these in my case and 10 fans off of them and they work nicely. would have added the 5th egg is there had been back lighting around the sliders

Beautiful Keyboard

Corsair Vengeance K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Red LED - Cherry MX Red Switches
Corsair Vengeance K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Red LED - Cherry MX Red Switches

Pros: great lighting and functionality. The windows lock built into the keyboard made it worth the price of the keyboard before got to test out the rest of the keyboard.

Cons: only con I have found to this keyboard is that for people with larger hands and fingers like me is that the keys are little closer together and slightly smaller them most keyboards that I have used but that is something that I need to retrain myself to use and in time I am sure will feel normal to me.

Overall Review: Overall I love this keyboard
