Works Flawlessly

LITE-ON Black 4X BD-ROM 12X DVD-ROM 32X CD-ROM SATA Internal 4X Blu-ray DVD-ROM Model DH-4O1S-11
LITE-ON Black 4X BD-ROM 12X DVD-ROM 32X CD-ROM SATA Internal 4X Blu-ray DVD-ROM Model DH-4O1S-11

Pros: Works out of the box Great Picture Quality and Audio for my 1080p and 5.1 surround Looks clean and works quietly and matches black cases well Needless to say the installation that was required from my end was minimal and anyone could do it.

Cons: Does not include the 4pin to SATA power connector that some people may need. Software seems to be useless, get a better newer version.

Overall Review: I booted er up and it was immediately recognized by the motherboard and i proceeded to pop in a Movie. I rented IronMan, which coincidentally came out... TODAY in order to test the viability of this drive to be able to play new releases. So i popped the movie in and I had PowerDVD 8 Ultra(by cyberlink) already installed so i didnt need anything on the software end. These drives have been said to have issues playing dual layer media, but from my experience this drive hasnt had any issues playing this movie. The drive comes with the latest firmware so there are no issues whatsoever and my version of PowerDVD8 Ultra is the newest one available. This Drive comes with a Red Sata cable but does not come with the power adapter which seems to be a bit silly since not everyone will have a SATA PSU. It also comes with an OEM bundled version of PowerDVD 7.3 But from what ive been hearing this software is old and will not be updated due to the fact that its a limited OEM version, so i didnt even b

Sturdy but...

CORSAIR Voyager 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Model CMFUSB2.0-16GB
CORSAIR Voyager 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive Model CMFUSB2.0-16GB

Pros: Decent Transfer Rate Sturdy For the Price Feels good in your hands Rubberized 16GB

Cons: No way to keep the cap hooked onto the stick. Very easy to loose. Glue does not hold actual USB module inside of the rubber housing, hopefully this is just a manufacturing defect and only this one has that problem.

Overall Review: I rated this product a 3 because while i know these are good USB sticks i am forced to return it to newegg because the glue that holds the PCB inside of the rubber housing was not too hot and when i pulled the usb stick out of my case the PCB started coming out. That glue should be stronger than that.

This is a fantastic case with a learning curve

LIAN LI PC-V650B Black Aluminum ATX Mini Tower Computer Case
LIAN LI PC-V650B Black Aluminum ATX Mini Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case fits everything that would normally fit in your full-size tower in a sub-midtower sized case that looks slick It has USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 in the front as well as a USB 3.0 enabled card reader which is HUGE for photographers Comes with four 120MM fans standard, which is awesome cooling for any case, especially one as small as this one It supports my GTX 670 and would easily allow for multi-GPU It has SEVEN hard drive bays. Loving the click-on side panel system, a lot quicker access and quicker reinstallation

Cons: Cable management could be better

Overall Review: This has to be my favorite case in a long time. I'm a little disappointed that Lian Li still hasn't implemented good cable management on this case. This, to me, is it's own downfall.

Great PSU

COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M700 RS-700-AMBA-D3 700W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M700 RS-700-AMBA-D3 700W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Quiet Compact Flat cables Modular Cool High Efficiency

Cons: At this moment, none. But the only thing i could find that i wouldnt like about this PSU is that it only really supports one highend graphics card even though it could probably support two. Although you could probably get two cards to work with adapters and all, i would have liked to see 2 8pin and 2 6pin connectors.

Overall Review: Overall, great PSU
