Pros: The red WAS closer to the darker red image than the light red image. Very pleased, it now commands a powerfully red presence of whooshing air. (not from its fans though) The fans are very quiet. If you get all the fans (except the 240mm side fan, I'm assuming you got the window side panel extra), it doesn't make much noise. The GPU is louder, and my aftermarket CPU cooler as well. It's heavy. Will deter burglars for sure. Plenty of space for cable management behind the motherboard. Nonetheless, my cable management is still something never to be discussed, despite the modular PSU...

Cons: Doesn't come with a 5.25" toaster bay. It's glossy - if you place it in the general direction of a dusty airflow, like a central heating duct, it collects a lot of dust. Easy to clean though, and doesn't collect more dust than anything else on the sides that don't have dusty air blown at them.

Overall Review: Cheaper on the manufacturer's website... but also sold out at my time of purchase (cyber deals week).

Pros: It's extremely silent. I can't tell the difference between high and low on my fan controller by it's noise, although the airflow does change. Feels like good airflow. Nice braided cable.

Cons: Does not come with mounting screws. Comes with the rubber silent mounts. Good if your case supports, but mine did not.

Overall Review: Initially thought I got the wrong item. "Rexus" was not written on the box, but if you look closely at the pictures, you can see that it is the correct fan.

Pros: Great color scheme, has OC genie, click BIOS, wonderful blue/black color scheme. Relatively easy to overclock with, but doing it from the standard settings will not save the settings for the CPU ratio. Just make a custom OC Genie with the settings you want. The box was strangely nice. You can definitely judge this motherboard by the box it came in, which is weird to say. xD Has thunderbolt. I'm not sure what to use it for...

Cons: IO backplate has a weird metal nub covering part of the thunderbolt port. Might just be bad installation on my part, but if I ever figured out what to use the thunderbolt for, I can just cut the nub off.

Overall Review: Retail is expensive, at about $150. I got it on sale for $85 ($15 rebate, -$50 sale), which is the only reason I got it at all. I wanted the PCIe 3.0, and 3 of them. It was the cheapest I could find, and got thunderbolt as a bonus. Unless you actually need thunderbolt, I'd spring for the gaming variant instead. But it was sold out at the time of purchase, and as I recall, very close to the same price.

Pros: Works great out of the box. Ran as expected and has no real problems. Looks aesthetically pleasing, goes great with the blue/black color scheme I accidentally developed for the inside of the PC.

Cons: I was not astounded with the RAM, hence the 4 egg rating. The large metal heat sinks are warmer than expected during operation. I guess that's why they are there. Ran at 1333mhz out of the box. Was able to tweak to 2400mhz in the bios settings though, however, the latency was higher. I don't think it makes much of a difference, but worth noting. Would not have purchased at the normal price. I suggest waiting for a sale.

Overall Review: Works as expected, no real qualms. Will buy again down the line when I upgrade to 16gb RAM... on sale of course.

Pros: This monitor came as expected. Worked right out of the box, came with everything needed for basic functioning. The 1ms G-T-G is extremely nice, and I am happy I paid to step up to something of this quality. There is no motion blur whatsoever. The thin bezel is actually just under a centimeter, which is very nice.

Cons: Nothing here is deserving to take an egg off, however: My newly built PC did not fill the screen entirely. I had to go into AMD's catalyst menu and rescale the image to remove borders. Easy to do however, figured it out with a quick google search. The speakers on it are a bit tinny and not suitable for very much. I figure most users (such as myself) buying something of this quality and expense will invest $50 in a quality sound system or headset though, so it's nothing to be concerned about. The monitor is heavy for the base. It shakes a bit if I bump the table, which isn't an issue unless perhaps you have 2 or 3 of them together and are tend to shake your table.

Overall Review: Would buy again. Actually, I plan on getting a second. A third would be wonderful, however, I suspect my parents would not be pleased to visit me at college and discover that my New Year's resolution was actually 5760x1080...
