Not bad

ZALMAN CNPS8900 Extreme 110mm Ultra Quiet Slim CPU Cooler
ZALMAN CNPS8900 Extreme 110mm Ultra Quiet Slim CPU Cooler

Pros: PWM 110mm Fan, LowPro, Quiet, Moves some air, Downdraft. Silent at low speed, noticeable but not annoying at 100%. Quality stuff.

Cons: Hit my RAM, GSkill Sniper, had to move to 2nd bank. Whats with the power extension cable??... U cant use it without it so why not one piece?? Blue LED fan would be nice. Pricey for Lowpro cooler, but Zalmans are always hi.

Overall Review: Have it in a Thermaltake A30 case, cools better and quieter than the GeminII S it replaced. Low profile so its not the best of the best at cooling, but does good for its size.

anidees AI-Crystal-Cube-Lite Cube ATX Tempered Glass Gaming Case, Compatible with EATX/ATX M/B - Black version
anidees AI-Crystal-Cube-Lite Cube ATX Tempered Glass Gaming Case, Compatible with EATX/ATX M/B - Black version

Pros: Beautiful Case, Great air flow, tons of space

Cons: The screw holes on my side windows where not perfectly centered. You can get them on but it smashes the rubber grommet and the studs rub the glass. One hole in one window wasn't completely drilled out and made for a really tight fit. The third time I took the window off it blew up in my hands as I pulled it off the side of the case. Glass every where. Had to order a new window.

Overall Review: Windows screw holes need to be positioned better so the stud and protecting grommet are in the center. The misalignment on mine created a huge mess and just cost me more money.

They are the Shizzz

Phanteks PH-F120MP 120 mm PWM, High Static Pressure Radiator Fan
Phanteks PH-F120MP 120 mm PWM, High Static Pressure Radiator Fan

Pros: Look great. Feel and look quality, thick plastic. Quite!! Bought these for my H100i GTX. The stock corsair fans where loud when they ramped up. At idle they run at 60% / 800RPM and are dead silent and at full speed are the quietest fans I've ever owned. I had some Noctua fans which where good but these are better at almost half the price, and not dodo brown.

Cons: No complaints

Overall Review: So good I ordered 3 XP case fans to replace my Noctuas. I have to really try to hear my Lian Li PC-V359WX box now.

Worth the money

NZXT CB-LED20-BU Sleeved LED Kit - Blue, 2 m
NZXT CB-LED20-BU Sleeved LED Kit - Blue, 2 m

Pros: Good Quality, All Black, Nice Black Mesh Sleeving, Very Bright; I use em on the lowest setting, but nice the be able to go brighter if I want. Allot more versatility then cathode tubes, can go places they cant. Nice Deep True Blue Color.

Cons: My real only con was the circuit board on the Controller is VERY low. It actually was hitting the Caps on my MB in two of the 3 available Expansion Slots. Its just barely above the MB PCB. May or may not be a problem for you depending one the MB,mines a Maximus Gene IV, why not put it more in the middle NZXT?? So had to put it in a slot I didn't want it in, so -1 egg. Power connector could be a couple inches longer.

Overall Review: LEDs are directional so they need to be aimed at what you want to light up, but I expected that.
