AZZA Hurrican 2000 CSAZ-2000 Black SECC Japanese Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
AZZA Hurrican 2000 CSAZ-2000 Black SECC Japanese Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: ok so i got this case on the basis that it would hold my system. It does. has tons of room Cools great with the right amount of power

Cons: only 2 spots for non molex hard drives and if you plan on using all fans, you better have the connections and the wattage on the power supply or it wont spin them correctly! running ocz 550 fatality power supply, gigabyte mATX, 4 hard drives, 2 optical drives, xfx 5570 vga. Dont expect to be able to put all fans daisy chained to one molex, it wont work!

Overall Review: had to do MAX of 2 links per power connector. keep in mind, this thing has 8 different fans! 2 front(hard drives) 2 top(exhaust 200s) 2 side(intake) 1 cpu(120) 1 exhaust(120) the LEDs are pretty sweet looking, small case windows but thats expected with 2 huge 230s covering the rest of the side. make sure you got a usb3 capable mobo, otherwise all you got is another usb2 extension in blue.

perfect!

Pros: fit perfectly, keeps cool with built in heat sinks

Cons: none

Overall Review: at 1333 mhz, and when i bought them, at 140$, these 8 gbs of ram were the perfect buy!

great mobo!

Pros: great layout, awesome durability, everything was plug and play! easily overclocked... pre turbo, my overclock is 3.7 ghz, post turbo im sitting at a cool 4.15 ghz!

Cons: could not for the life of me figure out how to get dual monitor setup using (1) onboard vga and (1) pci-e 16x gtx 260 dvi. googled everything i possibly could to get it figured out, but I couldnt. thats my only qualm, and not really worth taking off an egg

Overall Review: slightly larger than other mATX boards, heavier than other boards as well, but that just goes to the durability notch. the heatsinks do their job... very well actually.

Pros: Intake/exhaust fans are pretty decent, LEDs are nice, Modular idea is good(in theory), long cables

Cons: not enough molex connectors supplied IMO, would like higher air push out of less fans(believe it or not), heavy(but durable)

Overall Review: meh, still a great case no matter the fans. Made great, Lots and lots of room behind mobo for cable runs, lots of choices either way. would buy again!

works perfect!

Pros: easy to set up, both that i purchased worked perfectly, no weird noises, cheap purchase price(go newegg!) seagate did a good job on recertification

Cons: none whatsoever

Overall Review: recertified 1tb drive, works just as good as a new one! 5 star definitely

oh my JEEBUS!

TekNmotion PulseWave • V2 3.5mm/ USB Connector Circumaural Nex-Gen Premium PC Gaming Headset
TekNmotion PulseWave • V2 3.5mm/ USB Connector Circumaural Nex-Gen Premium PC Gaming Headset

Pros: ok so i didn't really expect so much from a headset.. seriously? this is HIGH quality headphones, and a HIGH quality microphone! the vibration they talk about is pretty much major awesome bass! 7.1 is awesome even with an onboard controller.

Cons: none so far... if i find any, will edit with a followup

Overall Review: the usb switch came in the off position, which i didnt realize(its on the left side) the mic came muted (read about it on another review, so i easily fixed it for ventrilo) packaging doesn't seem too upscale or flashy, but i'll be if these headphones dont perform up to or past 56 dollars plus shipping worth! They're so good in my opinion, I bought a second set for my wife!
