Fantastic Card!!

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card OC Version 100355OCL
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7850 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card OC Version 100355OCL

Pros: -Card scores a 7.9 on WEI (important to some) -Easily overclocks to over 1000MHz -Fans are not loud and obtrusive -Only requires 1 PCIE 6-pin connection

Cons: -My brother opened it before I got home. Last time I ask him to wait at my house for Purolator.

Overall Review: Overall, it's a fantastic card. Everything I've thrown at it so far has passed with flying colours. Even Furmark Burn-in test passed with no issues and an average FPS or 32. On top of that, this card idles at 24C and underload the max I got it up to in Furmark was 65C. Overall, definitely worth it.

Re-Review: Terrible Product

Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 - Sleeve Bearing 120mm Green LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators
Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 - Sleeve Bearing 120mm Green LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators

Pros: -Nice, dark green LEDs -Not too loud, even at full RPM

Cons: -Started rattling -1 Rattled itself to pieces -4 Rattle to the point of being unusable.

Overall Review: I noticed after a bit that one of the fans placed on the top of the case began rattling. After some reviews online found out these fans CANNOT be installed horizontally without shortening their life dramatically. Cooler Master denied it, but obviously they're lying. It's been proven. I moved the fan to a vertical position but to no avail. The damage was done. It rattled itself to pieces. Started noticing that when I powered down my pc overnight and turned it on in the morning, 4 of the other fans would rattle for about 20 minutes because finally shutting up and running "normally". Deemed unusable. Absolutely trash. Paid full price, they want me to pay AGAIN to ship them back to replace them with new ones. Why would I want garbage product back? Horrible fans, horrible return policy. Get Corsair fans, they're better anyway.

Performs as expected

Pros: It's an HDMI cable, and it works.

Cons: Wasn't long enough for what I needed it for but the girlfriend insisted "10FT is plenty" She lost.

Absolute trash

MSI Z77A-GD65 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
MSI Z77A-GD65 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: None

Cons: Both bios were corrupted in less than 6 months. From what? Who knows.

Overall Review: MSI's technical support is utterly useless. No trouble shooting attempted, just "RMA out of your own pocket because we know we've made a shotty product!" I've never bought a quality MSI product, and shunned this garbage company for years. Read a couple of good reviews, decide to give them a shot and look, they're up to their same old dirty tricks of manufacturing garbage. If you have ANY technical know-how, avoid this board at all costs. There is a nifty "clear cmos" button at the back that's purely aesthetic and does absolutely nothing. I invite you to google "Error 55 z77a gd65" or "gd65 boot looping" and you'll see. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I want a refund, plain and simple. I want my $200 back.

Fantasic, as per usual

Corsair Vengeance Series C70 Gunmetal Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Corsair Vengeance Series C70 Gunmetal Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Purchased this because it's been on my wish list and it went $10 off and free shipping. Couldn't pass that up. Significantly larger than my own tower, and it's definitely a beauty. On top of that, airflow has been GREATLY improved and temp drops are 4C-7C. Huge difference. I'd recommend it to anyone and, as per usual, quality from Corsair.

Cons: A little fidgety with certain parts but take the usual precautions. If you have to force it, don't.

It worked.

Not even in Canada...

I made it a point to ensure this item came from a Canadian seller, and low and behold it's not. Honestly, That's like calling yourself "American Motors" and shipping cars from Japan. Change the name, you scum bags.
