Most Favorable Review

Great speed!

Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX 600GB 10000 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX 600GB 10000 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Great size per dollar compared to SSDs. I don't really trust SSDs fully yet, so this is the next best solution. Heat spreader keeps the drive cool, cooler than a stock 7200 rpm Caviar Black 1TB drive.

Cons: Can be a tad noisy during writes if your case is "airy". My hard drives sit near the upper rear of my case (Thermaltake Kandalf) so to me it's not really audible.

Overall Review: Using as my OS drive with a pagefile, it's quick! Adobe reader without the preload on startup comes up in a bit less than a second. iTunes with my Media/Music folder on a 1TB Caviar Black drive comes up in 3 seconds. From the Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate loading screen to the desktop where things have stopped starting up in about 20 seconds.

Most Critical Review

Gets real hot

XFX Double D Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card FX797GTDFC
XFX Double D Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card FX797GTDFC

Pros: Worked well for 7 months but tended to get a bit on the hot side. Up to 87C while playing BF3 and World of Tanks in triple screen Eyefinity.

Cons: Had to RMA recently. Started to get in the mid 90sC while playing, even after reapplying new thermal paste. Then XFX brought their support site down and now I cannot log in anymore. I just got the card back, but no notes as to what was found... Seems to be working ok though and not getting as hot as before.

Overall Review: Have good case cooling for this card, especially if you triple screen game! I'm now just going to crack the side of my case open so I don't risk fire like others have mentioned here.

Great USB 3.0 Card

ORICO PFU3-4P USB3.0 4 - Port PCI Express Host Controller Adapter Card

Pros: Fit in the small PCIe slot where I needed it to. Seems to work great for USB 3.0 and older USB devices. A really good price for what you get.

Cons: None thus far!

Overall Review: I've not put a full load on the ports of this card, just a couple of USB drives at a time.

Great refurb

Corsair Certified CH-9000005-NA Vengeance M60 Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Performance, FPS Gaming Mouse
Corsair Certified CH-9000005-NA Vengeance M60 Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Performance, FPS Gaming Mouse

Pros: Looked brand new, not a single scratch or smudge to be had. Downloaded the latest firmware and drivers from Corsair's site and updated the mouse just fine. Mouse has been working great, performs as my old M60 did.

Cons: Didn't come in retail packaging, but I don't really care - Had to put something here.

Overall Review: I dropped and broke my old M60 mouse. The sniper button wasn't as responsive and I dinged and scratched the crud out of it - and the right side plastic grip piece had 2 prongs that broke. I couldn't buy a new M60, so this was my only choice.

Great higher-end card

Creative Sound Blaster ZxR PCIe 124dB SNR Sound Card with 600ohm Headphone Amp and Desktop Audio Control Module
Creative Sound Blaster ZxR PCIe 124dB SNR Sound Card with 600ohm Headphone Amp and Desktop Audio Control Module

Pros: I've had this card for several months now. When I first got the card, the drivers were very stable and installed without any problems. I had an old SB Audigy 2 ZS, and there was a definite improvement in sound quality and color. The external ACM beam-forming mic also works great for me.

Cons: At first, I had this card below my AMD 7970 Ghz Edition graphics card and it got very hot. I moved the card and daughter board two spaces above my graphics card and it is no where near as warm on the shield. Also, the first drivers did have a glitch when the mic was unmuted. It would cause sound distortions and loud noises from my speakers at random times. Since the new drivers, I have not had this issue occur.

Overall Review: Do NOT put the sound cards cards below your graphics card or in between them! They will get very hot and not function properly.

Great gaming mat!

Corsair Vengeance MM600 (CH-9000017-WW) Gaming Mouse Mat
Corsair Vengeance MM600 (CH-9000017-WW) Gaming Mouse Mat

Pros: I like the double-sided feature. Very high quality, durable-feeling and I like the design on the smooth side. I'm using this with my Corsair M60 mouse and they pair nicely. The texture on both sides reminds me of my Razer eXactmat, which is a good thing - As this was replacing that after 7 years of heavy use. I hope this lasts as long!

Cons: None really. There is an orange-red line on the smooth side off on the edge (The pictures show this). Not sure why, but thought I'd mention it. Some may say this is expensive, but I paid more for the Razer eXactmat 7 years ago and this has more mousing area.

Overall Review: I hope this surface lasts as long. Thus far I'm really happy with the feel and size. It is rather large, so if you're fitting this on a keyboard tray like I am be sure to take measurements!
