Most Favorable Review

got two right off the bad

MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card N560GTX-Ti Hawk
MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card N560GTX-Ti Hawk

Pros: I am very pleased with this card(s) play Metro 2033 on high directx11 and no problems.

Cons: It is somewhat loud but to me its not enough to take away an egg

Overall Review: When it comes to computer stuff and noise levels I have a keen ear for even the smallest of sounds and the fans on the card are somewhat loud I'm focused on gaming to take notice. while not running high demanding games the fans are not noticed easily.

ehh

BIOSTAR N68S AM3/AM2+ NVIDIA MCP68S Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Cheap quick fix board.

Cons: n/a

Overall Review: I got this for a friend as a quick fix board. He's not an OC or hardcore computer gamer but he needed a board that was cheap and worked, while I personally don't like Biostar he has had this board for a few months now and is still working so I guess as a standard computing board it will do.

Great Board

GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD5-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I love this board. I dont have any real problems but the pcie x1 slot is poorly placed and because of this I cant really use it. Not worth taking an egg off. I can get my 2500K to a stable 4.0. Love the new look for Gigabyte with he black PCB and heat sink. I've been a long time customer of gigabyte and this is a nice change from the blue and white PCBs. I wouldnt recommend triple sli or xfire because its only ganna run at 16x8x4 so I wouldnt use the last x16 slot for a gpu card but something else that doesnt need the x16 or x8

Cons: only ones that I can think of is x4 pciex16 slot and the poor placement of the pciex1 slot. If your ganna do any sli or xfire the only other pciex1 slot will be unusable because of the gpu taking up that slot.

Overall Review: Make sure you X.M.P. your ram because it will restart other wise but usually after 20 mins or so giving you a decent amount of time.

cable ties

Pros: There cable ties with a decent length.

Cons: none

Overall Review: There just cable ties cant really make cons for cable ties.

great case

Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior

Pros: You wont have to think about how much room you have because you have all the room you need. Cable management holes are in good places made use of most of them. The mesh in front and back are great and I think it does keep the case a little cooler.

Cons: The only con I have for this case is the heat sink cut out. Its poorly placed. I have a Gigabyte z68 ud5 and a zalman 9900. The cut out is about 2 inches too high to make use of it.

Overall Review: Other than the heat sink cut out being a little too high I would recommend this case to anyone who wants to put in those long gpus in.

Does what its suppose to do

Pros: Its a dvd burner and works what else do you want from it. quiet.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I got 2 since when they spin its not as loud as most.
