Great case.

Corsair Carbide Series 400R Graphite Grey and Black ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case
Corsair Carbide Series 400R Graphite Grey and Black ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case

Pros: Plenty of room, cable management is great, tool less drive trays and 5 1/4 slots easy to use. Includes USB3 cable to use with front ports, plugged straight into my motherboard USB3 header.

Cons: Not really a con, but to clean the front fan filter you have to remove the whole front of the case. Its not hard, just not as easy as cleaning the bottom filter.

Overall Review: I love the case and it runs so quiet. The white LEDs on the front fans look good and can be turned off as well. Thought about a more expensive Corsair case, but this one had a more normal physical size and was $60 less. Glad I chose this one.

Worked well.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Great memory and it looks cool too.

Pros: Did what I needed it to do, burn restore disks for my moms netbook.

Cons: Doesn't feel super sturdy to hold, but that is to be expected I guess.

Overall Review: Worked well and was auto recognized by XP.

Runs fine no issues at all.

Pros: Looks cool, installed without any issues at all. Built in sound seems good.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Came with locking SATA cables which I thought was cool. Little else but that was all I really needed.

Quiet video card.

Pros: Runs quiet, looks good, installed fine, good warranty.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Figured I might as well get a card with some power even though I rarely if ever play games on my PC. This is my second EVGA card and the first is 4 years old and has never given me any issue. Make sure to register within 30 days to get the full warranty from them though.

Plenty of power, modular cables.
