Aerocool Strike-X GT Toolless Mid Tower Gaming Case with Red LED Fans
Aerocool Strike-X GT Toolless Mid Tower Gaming Case with Red LED Fans
Price: £57.36

3.0 out of 5 stars Average Quality Case, 17 Dec 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This case does look good when you unbox it, and even better when you get the lights and fans illuminated. For me though I was disappointed in the quality, the sides are easily put out of shape, two of the screws that hold the sides on would not screw all the way down and needed reboring (no i did not cross thread), the same was the case for the motherboard mountings.
The instructions are basic at best and dont cover every part of installation or explain things clearly enough.
So - 1 star for poor instructions and -1 star for build quality

However, when you finally get it all assembled and working it does look really good, it does have loads of space inside - although i question the "screwless" mountings for the hard drives, removable drives etc - i needed to screw them in for stability. And there certainly is plenty of ventilation from the tob , bottom, back, sides and front.

If you have never installed a bare bones system before you will definitely need help or some instructions to do this, but when you do you will be chuffed with the final look.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Idea - but blackouts and poor picture., 6 Oct 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Well I was a little skeptical reading the other reviews so thought I ought to share my findings trying to connect to the WII.

It does suffer from the screen blackouts which for me made it unplayable - the blackouts last a few seconds. HOWEVER that was on a new LG2361V. So I had a bright Idea and plugged it into and older ACER X193W monitor and it worked no blackouts at all!
Unfortunately the picture quality wasn't so good as compared to RGB on an HD TV (and this was the same on both monitors - the picture was noticeable more blurry and not as sharp)

So I am back to the TV connection. Some may be able to live with the blackouts and less clear picture - but I can't.

Hope this helps someone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Outdoor watch, 1 Oct 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
Well I must say I was a little conscious given the other reviews here but the features were exactly what I was after so thought I'd give it a go. I have to say I was not disappointed! The watch looks good, backlight is great (even better than my last indiglo) and so far no problems at all.
To get the watch set up is daunting to start as the instructions are big, but that said, when I actually read them I set the watch up in about 15 mins. Time is easy to set, the compass was very easy and the tide setting (out came my tide tables) made sense too.
The only other part to mention is the strap, there is plenty of adjustment here and it is certainly not flimsy - think the terms chunky pretty much sums the whole watch up. Very Happy.

Followup - 18months later
So I still love this watch, it has been brilliant no problems at all and it gets lots of use - the only problem is the strap loops have broken this month so i need a new strap. Apart from that Really happy - and i found a new original strap for £15.
