Welcome to

Thermaltake Element VK60001N2Z S Mid Tower Pro Series All-Black Interior Cold-Rolled Steel Computer Case Review

PROS – hot looking case… love the red trim – deep red. All mate finish and no piano black parts at all.
Perfetly placed front USB/ESATA/AUDIO panel
Comes with 3 fans (one on top, one front fan and one rear)
you can add at least two more (as far as I noticed)
Quiet (the fan of my temporary XFX HD 5770 messes all up but… well, it’s temporary)
Comes with tons of screws (but please see cons as well)
the wires and cables got perfect loose – very easy to reach the spots on the MoBo without untwisting the whole bunch)
Magnet lock on the fron door – nice – love it.

CONS: The door… If you’re burning a DVD and close the door… Well, don’t. after your dvd is burned and NERO spits out the disk… well, if it happens once, it’s ok, but if often… it means sooner or later you gonna have to purchase a new burner. The inner side of the door got like 2mm protruding design borders all the way along and across (forgive my English). when NERO is done and spits out the disk, the tray collides with each of the 5 protruding borders, while pushing the door open to deliver you your damn disk… Magnet lock holds the door too obviously, but not too strong thanks God. And finally the perimeter edge – that’s a K.O. I don’t really see it as a con – a warning actually.

2.) The screws – all black screws are cheap and will wear out in no time if you often replacing the hard drives. Also, I wouldn’t recomend to use a different hard drive screws for the hard drive bay of this case – the screws thermaltake sends you with this case are the only screws designed for this hd bay. All got wide hats in diametr.

2a.) Also not enough standard screwes for PSU and MoBo – comes with only like 12 or 10.

3.) Still fingerprint sensitive…

The last con is a PRICE. I was lucky. got this for with delivery. MSRP is like 0+ but my opinion is that the top price for this thing should be no more than . would be a good deal. This thing is worth 50 bucks – that’s for sure. But not worth 0.

Still, I rate it 5 out of 5, because after all, it’s a well-designed and hot looking case. And i got it for friendly price.

Thanks for reading.

Monster Digital PowerCenter MDP 900 with GreenPower and USB Charging [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] Review

I love the green power feature that stops vampire power. Didnt plug my printer into the green controlled outlet however because every time id wake the computer from sleep the printer would go thru the motions of being powered on and i didnt want to hear that every time. Also some mounting screws wouldve been nice. Had to go out and pick up some #6 head screws to mount it since standard drywall screw heads are too large to fit in the mounting holes. LAME. Wouldnt cost Monster that much to throw in some screws considering the cost of their products. If it werent for that Id give 5 stars

Belkin F6C1200-UNV Battery Backup with Multi-Computer Connections Review

although this device has been stripped of its discription since it was first put on this site, it is the Belkin 1200 VA four battery two non UPS power supply for PCs. The only thing I DON”T like about it is the tiny plug outlets not allowing for transformer adapters and the cord gets in the way of the non battery devices plugins. I have serveral periferials but they have to be plugged into a separate unit because of this. The unit is reliable as far as performance, the battery still goes strong after five or more minutes and I can safely shut the PC down. I am using a high end machine too. A big cathode 19″ monitor and an ATI Radeon 9800 XT video card so I have a lot of power requirements. The bulldog software is a separate download and I have little use for it except for battery discharge periodically, the software does exceptionally well with this using “deep test” and the bat goes back to 100% after a night’s recharge… Usually its just 80% but can get worse in the long run without periodic discharge/recharge maintainence. My unit is at least two years old and my other(used on another machine) is FiVE years old and still going strong. I have not replaced the battery in either although my old one had a replacement program. Belkin is the only way to go with UPS back ups!

Belkin F6C1200-UNV Battery Backup with Multi-Computer Connections Feature

• Backup battery features USB and serial communication ports for multi-computer management

Cyber Acoustics CA-2022R 2.0 Computer Speakers- Black Review

I did some research on desktop speakers and after some reviews I found this set and decided to purchase them because of all the positive feed back I read from others personal reviews. The speakers look very nice and glossy, they can get really loud. The only dislike on the speakers for me, is the music will play crisp, but the bass will sound muddy and distort at higher volumes. Other than that I think these speakers are great for the price!

2GB kit (1GBx2) Upgrade for a Dell Dimension 9100 System (DDR2 PC2-5300, NON-ECC, ) Review

2GB kit (1GBx2) Upgrade for a Dell Dimension 9100 System (DDR2 PC2-5300, NON-ECC, ) Feature

• 240-pin DIMM
• DDR2-667
• DDR2 PC2-5300 Unbuffered, NON-ECC, DDR2-667, 1.8V, 128Meg x 64
• The only brand of memory upgrade available directly from a DRAM manufacturer, tested to meet the most stringent industry specifications
• Install it yourself in about 15 minutes. The same top-quality memory that the worlds largest computer manufacturers install in the systems they sell

2GB kit (1GBx2) Upgrade for a Dell Dimension 9100 System (DDR2 PC2-5300, NON-ECC, ) Overview

Bad memory can cause anything from annoying error messages to complete system failures. Why risk it with cheap “mystery” memory? When you buy memory from Crucial, you’re buying the same high-quality memory that leading computer manufacturers install in the systems they sell. In fact, because Crucial is a division of Micron, one of the world’s largest DRAM manufacturers, chances are good that you have their memory in your system right now. While the “other guys” might claim to manufacture memory, they really just assemble modules out of chips made by someone else. Some don’t have first-class assembly procedures, and some even use chips that failed to meet computer manufacturer’s stringent testing requirements. Crucial memory goes through much more rigorous testing procedures than many other brands of memory. Some memory assemblers choose to accept a certain “defect rate” because it’s cheaper to deal with returns than to test every part they sell. That may help their bottom line, but it’s sure a pain in the neck if you’re one of the customers who ends up with a bad module. That’s why Crucial thoroughly tests EVERY module they sell and put their name only on the ones that meet their strict standards. You might expect memory this good to cost a lot more, but you’d be wrong. As an online memory upgrade provider selling directly from the manufacturer, Crucial memory is often available at lower prices than lower-quality modules.
