Most Favorable Review

Great value and great speeds!

CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) AMD Optimized Desktop Memory Model CMW32GX4M2Z3600C18
CORSAIR Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800) AMD Optimized Desktop Memory Model CMW32GX4M2Z3600C18

Pros: This is my first upgrade from DDR3 to DDR4. I have always used Vengeance series Ram and this set absolutely works great. Paired it to a Asus Prime x570 Pro. The RGBs are very nice and you can change their output by using the app from Corsair. The Motherboard accepted the 3600 speed with no issues using the DOCP issue. It even detected the timings automatically. I've been using these for a few weeks and have had no issues in any games. I play a lot of VR titles as well using the highest settings and the speeds have kept up just fine.

Cons: Nothing on this set.

Overall Review: If you can afford 32gb, this is the set you should get. If you can't, they make this same set in 16gb size that is much cheaper. Amazing product overall.

Seagate BarraCuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Warranty.

Cons: Bought this drive on 11/6/2008. Failed on 1/14/2009. Buy another drive. Seriously. This is ridiculous. The drive didn't have any problems. The drive still spins but is no longer recognized by ANY O/S. No clicking noises. No audible problems. Just pure garbage.

Overall Review: It gets 3 eggs because of the warranty.

Excellent mount!

Pros: This is an excellent mount for thin TV's. I recently purchased a new Samsung LED 55" and it was really really thin. I was used to placing the Kinect somewhere above the TV but with this one I couldn't. Well, I found this clip and the price was very low so I thought I would give it a shot. This thing is very well made. It is adjustable also with rubber backing so that the mount doesn't slip. It works so well that my Wii sensor bar is now on top of the Kinect. It is pretty nice.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: If I need another one of these in the future, this will be the one that I purchase.

Warranty does not include fan

MSI GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N570GTX Twin Frozr II OC

Pros: Its a 570 gtx. Very good card. Bought this to sli with my current EVGA (who has a 3 year warranty that covers the fan no problem)

Cons: Fan broke after 2 weeks of use. RMA'd to MSI. MSI says the warranty does not cover the fan. Which means MSI knows that these fans are faulty.

Overall Review: Seriously. After 2 weeks, I turned the PC on to be greeted with a buzz and a snap. How can you not warranty the fan? Also, MSI wants $50 to fix it. Just buy a fan off newegg. Probably be better but don't get the MSI Reference fan.
