First build in 10yrs and addicted again!

[Jaysin]

I put this togeather a couple weeks ago, and am loving it. It is by no means a "super gaming rig" but for what I do its is more than I need, ultra in Rift and FO3. Only problem is my addiction, now i really do want to do a "super" but would pefer to stay married...

Looked at other brands and kept coming back to this one, better reviews than most and no complaints by me.

. 1 Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, comes with Three Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Top 140mm

Like i said not the best but well enough with room to improve. Case keeps everything nice with neg. pressure airflow and my 2yr old really likes the lights

Rosewill's budget cases are great aren't they. Not a bad build.

 

[Jaysin]

Yes they are. Kinda sad tho, in less than a month a newer one has com out even nicer. O'well its kinda like the new car issue, after its boght you always se something else you want. But this case has good room and stays cool, soon as i get my fan controller it'll stay even cooler. Next is a cpu cooler.. OMG there goes my addiction!!!

sry for spellin, 2yrold in lap makes an awful spell checker

That Raidmax power supply should be considered unreliable at best, I would replace it as soon as possible.

 

[Jaysin]

Actually that was what surprised me the most. No it isn't a cool master, corsair, or xfx, but the company does have great reviews all around and for my needs and budget it does its job wonderfully. I do appreciate your concern though.
