Definitely not what I was expecting from this review. Good to see we're not stuck in the "must give a good rating" mentality.

I like the review; you put a lot of great work into this. What stands out to me at this point is the graph - the item you are reviewing is in a color that does not stand out, and that is the one thing I would change. The item you review should stand out in the graph, making it easier for users/readers to follow your logic of the review.

I tried to use company colors. AMD was the forest green, I usually think of Antec products as silver, and Thermaltake stuff is often orange/red. That's all.

Thanks for the comments. I was expecting to be able to give it a better score as well, but it just didn't turn out that way.

Wow... your up in Canada turning on your heater and I'm sitting here in Louisiana sweating in my room... that's ridiculous :P But it it also a big factor for the temps. If I was testing in your house, I would no doubt have lower temps.

But thanks for commenting ^*^
