    Apex 373 Midtower - Anyone have this case?

    Thanks for your input! I can definitely understand the dust coming in on the side panel, cleaning it once in a while (the computer inside) could be worth it for the price factor. It says it accepts a 90mm fan, there are converters to use a 120mm fan, right? I may try to look into that, though...

    Apex 373 Midtower - Anyone have this case?

    Thanks for your links, ideas... Yesterday I hooked up the headphones to the back of the mobo itself and it said, "System failed CPU test" - I remember this was a problem once before...The reason I had my board repaired was a supposed solder problem on back of the board which happened to an...

    Hello I am having a problem with my computer. One day I was helping someone on my computer looking up some things on Google and all of a sudden it went black, it didn't turn off. I tried to restart, but there was no video. It has worked with no problems (software or hardware) for a year...in...
