Pros: The SSDs perform very well within a normal business environment for their price. In cases where bootup speed and durability are key, these excel at their task. Also have had no heat issues with one device literally velcro-mounted into place.

Cons: Around 2 months ago, I had a strange issue with the 120GB V300 mounted inside of my personal PC. The machine would boot up fine and quick, but monitoring Task Manager, the drive's read/write would slow down until it came to un-runnable circumstances, in which it would either become unresponsive (taskbar and pretty much anything else freezes), or in a weird situation, caused it to BSOD across three monitors. Normally, it ends here, and the reviewer slams the mouse towards the one egg button and clicks it through the desk. I couldn't, mainly because I had clients running these SSDs, and was lucky that this issue only happened to me. I tried everything, and was ready to fall back to a laptop Scorpio Black for my main OS, until a thought occurred to me: FIRMWARE. I had never updated the firmware, even when I got it. One firmware update later on a spare computer, and the machine was stable once again. This did take around 3 hours to diagnose along, and half an hour to get up and running again, but this is a consumer budget SSD.

Overall Review: I have two of these SSDs working in a small business setting on a Dell Vostro 360 and a Dell Vostro laptop. In personal settings, I have a 120GB V300 in my personal PC paired with a 4TB Barracuda, and a 240GB V300 in a HTPC at my father's house. Three of the machines run Win7, the other running Win8.1

Pros: Little board with all the little things included! This board was used in a build that moves around from week to week, and having to only carry the box and my headset makes everything worth it. Built-in wireless works very nicely, aside from a few issues. I haven't used 802.11ac, as the only network this machine uses is 802.11g. Haven't had issues with the built-in bluetooth or NIC. AI Suite III has a lot of useful tools that I will probably eventually use, and having temperature and fan speed readout virtually out of the box is nice all-around. The board is very stylish, and having the VRM built into its own little daughterboard assists in cooling and actual traces across the board. The breakout for the power connectors has it's ups and downs. I would have preferred the old-style asus q-connector. More on that below. The ejector arm for the PCI-e slot is very useful. I had no issues getting my 7870 Ghz in and out of the board (case was another story). The one-sided RAM slot made putting my vengeance memory in place very easy, especially with everything around it in the case.

Cons: - A lot of people have commented on this, but the wireless, for me, has connection stuttering issues. An example is when I am playing WoT, I get issues with my tank jumping around occasionally. This could be my internet connection, but meh. - The placement of some things. I built with this board in an EVGA Hadron Air chassis, and the board does not flatter the case. the large USB3.0 header is placed in a way that I could not cable-manage my way out of, the 24 Pin ATX and CPU power are right up against the HDD/SSD cages, and that ATX cable is not thin. The audio and breakout cables were right up against the power supply, and had to be routed before the GPU was put in. SATAs were across the RAM, but there were two, count em, two on the edge. - I would have preferred a modular q-connector. For those who do not know what I am referring to, I am referring to the breakout for the wires. My machine randomly boots up at night, probably from the reset pins jumping around in the case and making random contact. - VRM daughterboard blocks airflow. A lower-profile heatsink would not have cool air coming in from near the bottom of the board, as the VRM daughterboard is blocking it. - AI Suite III software required all of the workarounds to run on Windows 8 x64. Had to select many of the executable packages to run as administrator.

Overall Review: Overall, the board has better offerings than most ITX boards for Haswell out on the market today, but the board still has flaws. A good amount of them. My build with this board: 8 GB Corsair Vengence DDR3 1600 RAM (1 x 8GB) EVGA Hadron Air Chasis 128 GB Kingston SSDNow SSD 1 TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM XFX Double D Radeon HD 7870 Ghz Edition PCI-e 3.0 GPU

Pros: The power supply is 80 Plus Gold, and has 480W available on the +12V rail, which pretty much means that if your CPU is low-power enough, you can put a pretty beefy GPU in. You have a physical limit of a ~10.5" GPU, the one I chose was 10", and that was even a tight fit, so take that into consideration. The two 120mm fans on the top will keep a 84W CPU and everything else nice and cool as well.

Cons: Does not like the Asus Z87-Deluxe motherboard. The 24-Pin and 8 Pin connectors are up against the drive cage, and the USB 3.0 makes you run the cable across the motherboard, making things not really tidy...speaking of tidy, cable management is tricky. It took me 2 hours to wire everything in alone. The 24-pin cable is a pain to route, along with that you will be squeezing your GPU in on top of the cable. I will just say it here: you will probably have issues with your slim optical drive button lining up correctly. The reason I say this is that I bought the slim-optical drive DIRECTLY FROM EVGA, and the button still did not line up/work. Honestly, I just eject from the OS, but for those who want everything to be perfect, yea, this. Also, for those who are wary of the space their GPU has to breathe, you might find a full-size GPU to be a bit scary. There is around 0.5" for the GPU to grab air, and you are sharing a bottom intake vent with the PSU, so there's that. The top is not filtered, so expect dust to settle when the rig is not in use. Also, scratches. If you move your rig around a lot like me, you are bound to scratch either the window or the front panel.

Overall Review: This review will not list as a verified owner because it was bought from a different reseller during the period Newegg did not offer it. I built this with: Asus Z-87 Deluxe Mini-ITX Motherboard Core i5-4440 Haswell CPU Stock Heatsink XFX Ghost Edition Radeon HD 7870 Ghz Edition Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200 RPM Sata II HDD Kingston SSDNow! 120GB Sata III SSD Overall, I like the case. It is small, easy to carry under an arm, and has adequate airflow for the build I chose. I have never seen temps go over 40C while gaming. EVGA is new to this market, so the flaws above are expected.

Pros: Ran very nice, VERY VERY NICE! No problem running most things at max settings with 1080p...and a second monitor extended! Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim ran choppy, but this was fixed by disabling the second monitor.

Cons: A lot of size constraints with this card with my Cooler Master HAF 912. First, my dual DVI-VGA adapters needed trimming to fit, then my mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter needed trimming to fit in as well. Make sure there is ample space around your PCI spots for this card. Also, when spun up, this card gets loud very easily...this might just be Nvidia cards in general, however.

Overall Review: Card was attached to multiple systems. First was a Core 2 Duo with a Gigabyte motherboard and 4 GB DDR2 RAM. After this, it was brought into an upgrade involving an Asus Motherboard, a AMD FX 8-core, and 8 GB DDR3 1600 RAM. This card was replaced by a Radeon HD 7870 (specs outdid the 560 Ti), and the card is now running on the original board in my friend's PC. He is loving it.

Pros: EXTREMELY FAST! I went from a Core 2 Duo E8400 to this, and BAM! Handles all of the games that I play and multitasks much better than my Core 2. In addition, the liquid cooler keeps the device very cool, room temperature in fact. Even though it goes under scrutiny for the people who say it's not a real 8-core chip, you get what you pay for. You can pay the premium for a true 8-core from the other guy, but that'll set you back quite a lot. In addition, the cooler by itself would probably set you back $80 or more for a cooler of this quality I had no idea where to get an updated version of the software onboard, so I used the software included in the disc. Besides a little confusion between the cooler's internals and my motherboard on how to run the fans(more in other thoughts), everything worked. The cooler has not had to go full-blast to cool at stock clocks, although since this cooling kit is designed for OC cooling, there is a lot of headroom for this mighty chip.

Cons: Not many, besides that my GPU can't be as quiet as the radiator! The only thing I would really make a fuss over is the idea of putting aesthetic lighting on the cooler itself (the FX on the pump lights up). To be honest, I own a case that doesn't have a side window, and even if it did, it's in a corner where it wouldn't be seen. I guess for looking cool it works, but did you really need to do that, AMD/Asetek? In addition, the radiator itself is a big puppy. in my Cooler Master HAF 912, it gave my about a centimeter from the top, and two from the side with the cooler mounted sideways. Plan accordingly, and take the measurements of the radiator into account when buying this

Overall Review: Some people had the issue of the cooler's documentation not being up-to-snuff...I did not find this the case for me. I put things together by the pictures most of the time, anyway. The issue I mentioned above was a fan discrepancy between between my motherboard, an Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0. The Asus board did not like how the cooler's controller kept the fans spinning lower than the default "fan error warning" level, and would spit out a fan error every other boot. I fixed this when I installed the AI Suite for the board, I adjusted these, and had no problem forward. Also, do yourself a favour, and get some aftermarket thermal paste. I went with Arctic Silver 5. I just say this item go Discontinued, though, so you're lucky if you find it :P. Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 CPU: AMD FX 8150 RAM: Kingston HyperX 2x4GB DDR3 1600 Motherboard: Asus M5A99X motherboard

Pros: Very good video quality, 720p is enough for me! Also mounted perfectly on my Dell 23" Monitors (Had to move back and forth to see which monitor it was best mounted on). The RightSound works nicely, except that I am not sure if it works when the webcam itself isn't activated. The face-finding feature is an interesting one (see cons).

Cons: The USB cable is short, and I had to scramble around for my USB Extension cable for around 15 minutes before conceding defeat, and simply hooking it in as much as I could. This webcam was probably designed for systems with the USB port near the monitor, not under a desk. Also, the face-finding feature works half of the time, and when it does, the digital zoom tends to make the image look pixelated. In addition, when I was wearing certain types of t-shirts, it would focus on them instead of me. In addition, the bundled software can freeze sometimes, and tends to eat more memory than it should.

Overall Review: Overall, a good webcam. Got it as a gift for X-Mas, expecting to use the mic more than the webcam itself. I have surprisingly found it to be more useful than expected, and the Photo Booth-esque picture and video software come in handy when they work.
