Flawless PSU.
Pros: Gives me the wattage i need and stays REALLY cool. I have had it almost a year and have NO problems with it. I used it to replace the PSU that came with my computer case. I expected the default PSU to go out, but not as soon as it did. The Hive is an amazing PSU. FLAWLESS.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: I'm in a clan called WASP on a game I play, so its funny I have a HIVE PSU. Isn't that funny?
Ok experience.
Pros: Did what it was supposed to do. Stayed cool.
Cons: Started making the monitor turn all pink. I updated all the drivers and still, ALL PINK. Tried it in other systems and other monitors. ALL PINK. Eventually, for some reason it just started behaving normally again. Maybe it felt neglected?
Overall Review: Ran great, broke, then seemingly fixed itself. Decent enough for me!
Pretty great chair with minor issues
Pros: Feels durable and robust. Pretty great features. Great chair for the price.
Cons: The armrests feel too far forward. The material the armrests are made of is easily destroyed by evil cats. The chair has bolsters on the sides of your thighs that prevent you from spreading out.
Overall Review: I really like this chair but the armrests don't come far enough back to your elbows. I have had other chairs that allow for a lot more adjustability in the same price range. Great rear end padding and comfy for someone over 6 feet tall and 250lbs.
Absolutely perfect!
Pros: -Easy to install -Runs perfectly -Pretty quiet when wearing headset
Cons: -Can get noisy when it's spinning up and you don't have a headset on. By noisy, I mean I can barely hear it over my fans, but I can hear it. - I can literally feel it torque up. I have a LIan Li DK-03. So the HDD is pretty close to my keyboard. This is more awesome than a negative, but I had to put it somewhere and I could see more people hating this than appreciating it.
Overall Review: -I got this to replace a 1TB drive and I am SOOOO HAPPY that I did. I have already used up like 800 gigs and that would have been the end of that story for my other drive, not this one! -If you're thinking about it, just do it. This thing is awesome.
Decent SSD
Pros: Great SSD one you get the firmware update from the website and update your drive.
Cons: I haven't updated my drive yet. I don't have a spare CD-R sitting around. Because of this, the drive has caused my OS to crash. It's only crashed once, but if you're going to buy this drive, make sure you update the firmware ASAP.
Overall Review: Other than that, the drive is pretty cheap and very effective. Just update it and you'll be fine. :)
Really good monitor
Pros: Everything worked exactly like it was supposed to. No hassle, easy to set up. The colors and settings are perfect right out of the box.
Cons: One dead pixel was found. Dead pixels are a HUGE bummer but being that there is only one, not a huge deal. I really don't mind. Had there been more, then I would have probably been more upset. No VESA mount support. I don't like the color scheme at all. It isn't red, it's copper. Even if it had been red, I still wouldn't like it. I bought this monitor because it's the cheapest 144Hz 1440P monitor when I bought it. The monitor stand is REALLY wobbly. It has never fallen over or even gotten close to it, but even as I'm typing this, it's wobbling. Not having VESA mounting points on a monitor of this scope and size is RIDICULOUS. Also, if you think the thin bezel is cool, wait until you try to put a webcam on top of it.
Overall Review: Really great monitor for gaming. Beautiful colors on screen, wonderful refresh rate and perfect resolution. I would buy something else though. No Vesa mount, Poor color scheme, poorly designed stand, thin bezel and questionable QC make this monitor make me feel like I should have waited to buy a better one. What burns me the most is that if you're going to make a monitor with a bad stand, at least include VESA support. And if you're going to put thin bezels on your monitor with the idea that people will probably have 3 in a surround config, PUT VESA ON IT.
