Most Favorable Review

Really like this case

Fractal Design Define R5 Black Silent ATX Midtower Computer Case
Fractal Design Define R5 Black Silent ATX Midtower Computer Case

Pros: Really nice case. Nothing fancy about it, but it really does a good job of keeping the noise in. The hard drive bays are easy to install, it does a great job at cable management.

Cons: The top fan drives are bigger then the 140mm fan I bought, but I assume there's a reason, I just wasn't expecting the big gap.

Most Critical Review

Good card, bad quality control

Pros: Fast card, paired with my quad core intel, this card and run most everything nearly maxed out. very long warranty as long as you register within 20 days

Cons: I had problem from day one with the card not outputting after a shutdown to my monitors. Eventually this started happening while I was already in windows, too. Have sent it back.

Overall Review: They said it sounded like my RAM was going bad. They should be sending me a new one soon. As long as it works, then this has been a great purchase since the warranty worked and was hassle free. If the second card is bad, then this is more trouble than its worth

Works great, and easy to overclock

ASUS X99-A/USB 3.1 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This is my second Asus motherboard in a row. Works great! I overclocked my 5820k to 4.5 ghz. Well, I say me, but I just downloaded the Asus AI suite software, and hit the auto button. It ran the processor up and up until it crashed. The computer restarted and it set it back to the last stable setting and kept it. 4.5 is as far as I would want to go anyway, so perfect!. Everything is laid out real nice on it.

Cons: I almost took a star away for this, but decided it wasn't advertised as having one, so it's my fault for not checking, but there is no Esata port on this motherboard. I still use it for external naked drives, so that's disappointing, but I can manage with USB 3.

Great so Far!!

Pros: Keeps my i7 5820 overclocked at 4.5 Ghz a cool 50 degrees Celsius while running witcher 3. So far so good. I like the color, it's unique, and since I'm not trying to build a system to impress any friends or anything, then I have no problems with it.

Cons: Can't think of any.

Works great for me

Pros: Modular is great. The cables are well packaged and of high quality. Easy to find what you need.

Cons: I guess I would say not enough hard drive power plugs? My case can handle like 4 more, but I think I only have 1 more plug? But really, that would be like 8 hard drives in my system and that's probably too many.

Not for the T2i/550d or T3i/600d

Patriot LX Series 32GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model PSF32GSDHC10
Patriot LX Series 32GB Secure Digital High-Capacity (SDHC) Flash Card Model PSF32GSDHC10

Pros: I have 8 Patriot 16gb class 6 SDHC cards for use in my two T2i's and 1 T3i. I've never had a problem out of them, so I ordered this 32gb version class 10. It will not record video in the T2i or T3i. You get a few seconds, and then it stops recording.

Cons: Patriot knows about the problem, and to their credit, have agreed to swap this for a class 6. Hopefully that will work.

Overall Review: I'm sure this is a good card if it is compatible with your camera. I would give my 16gb class 6's 5 stars. I only gave this 3 stars because this is a Patriot problem, not a Canon problem. Other people have had no problem using different class 10 cards in their T2i's.
