Most Favorable Review

Great case for the money!

Cooler Master RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Great cooling, inexpensive, nice aesthetics, easy to work with, roomy, quality construction.

Cons: Steel, heavy.

Overall Review: I replaced my 3 year old WaveMaster with this case and couldn't be happier. I outfitted it with 7 Masscool 120mm fans plus the 80mm behind the mobo. Dropped idle/load temps on my E6600 @ 3.2ghz by 6c. If you're looking for a new case on a budget this would be one of my first stops. I was also considering the Antec 900 and I don't regret deciding on the 690 at all. Fully recommended.

Quality PSU!

Pros: Nice looks, stable, quality construction, ample power, modular.

Cons: None really.

Overall Review: I upgraded to this PSU from an Antec Truepower Trio 550w while doing a partial upgrade for my mom (she gets my hand me downs). I was looking for a quality PSU at a decent price and after reading numerous reviews the conclusion to go with the Corsair was an easy one. If you're running a single videocard: Buy this PSU. It can't be beat.

Really nice for the price

BenQ FP222W Black 22" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1

Pros: No ghosting whatsoever, very nice color output, looks great through DVI on my 7800GS. No dead pixels.

Cons: A little backlight bleeding on the top and bottom when viewing a black background. Wouldn't post via DVI with my x850xt for some reason. Looks bad through VGA.

Overall Review: Newegg got it to me in two days as always <3 For the money you can't go wrong with this monitor I'm very pleased so far.

Excellent ram...

Comments: Got mine a few days ago, Prime/Memtest stable at 225mhz 2/3/2/5 1T. Great ram for the money, although if you are looking for much past 225, look elsewhere. These 1GB sticks are for low latenices, not really overclocking. Which is fine since the A64 platform isn't bandwith dependent and running a divider doesn't hinder performance.

I love this case...

Comments: I just ordered this case as part of my whole system build, and I love it. The finish of the paint is smooth and glossy, easy to work with and keeps my system (3700+/x800xl/2gb ram/74gb raptor/200gb maxtor)running cool. About 40c idle with a Zalman 7700 ALCU. Highly recommended, Cooler Master is the best.
