Highlights

If you have aura memory modules, the case will not close!
Price
Then couple days later the corsair a500 went on sale for $45.
Other than that, this is perfect for any regular gaming/productivity work at $30.
Normally this is about 100 dollars, and it's ok for that price.
Packaging/appearance
I bought an nhd15 black cooler, unfortunately is was dented and damaged when i received it, looked like it had been used, so i returned it.
Competitiveness
The negativity that this cooler gets is due to gamer nexus's and other review, but this was comparing it to its $100 retail price.
I know there other other reviews for better priced coolers but also got this way cheaper than msrp on amazon.
Comparing this to noctua d15, there some things that make it better (width), but overall i preferred the noctua.
Aside from that, its performance was very close to high tier coolers (nh-d15, dark rock 4, and scythe fuma 2).
