Great Earbuds!

Sennheiser Black CX150 Earbud Noise Attenuation Earbuds
Sennheiser Black CX150 Earbud Noise Attenuation Earbuds

Pros: I've owned all sorts of headphones over the years that i've paid between 20 and 200 bucks for. I've owned a fair amount of Sennheisers too. These are great headphones! Esp for the 15 bucks a piece i paid for them! Would i spend more on them? YES I've had a few Monsters and Beats by Dre, and i still use these as much as my Beats. The 2 pairs of Monsters i had both had one side go out, granted i'm rough with headphones. These though, sound great, and have been going strong since i got them. The difference between these and 10 dollar or even 20 dollar normal headsets is WELL WORTH and extra 20 for. Now to i believe anyone should be dropping 200 for earbuds? NO.. If someone laid out 5 sets of earbuds priced from 40 to 200 bucks, i'd be surprised if the greatest audiophile could distinguish them qualitywise by their price.

Cons: Doesn't have no style cables that prevent tangling, but they have lasted fine, even when i throw them in my Beats case in half a second, so they are durable.

Overall Review: Don't be buying 100 dollar ear buds, these will do just fine!

PNY 32gb SHELLSHOCKER @ 12$

PNY Attache 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive - Bulk Pack FD32GATT2
PNY Attache 32GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive - Bulk Pack FD32GATT2

Pros: It seemed to work fine for a few weeks!

Cons: After sitting in my backpack for a week or two, all the sudden windows recognizes it, but can't do anything with it. Alot like the previous reviewer was saying regarding it worked fine, is shown in Device Manager, but its useless.

Overall Review: Well i guess thats what i get making a impulse buy for 12 bucks on a 32gb PNY flash drive.

780 TI for Under 400? Yes Please

EVGA  03G-P4-2887-RX  GeForce GTX 780 Ti  3GB  384-Bit  GDDR5  PCI Express 3.0 x16  SLI Support Video Card Factory Refurbished Certified Refurbished
EVGA 03G-P4-2887-RX GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card Factory Refurbished Certified Refurbished

Pros: I've had a 7950 Boost for a while and was looking for a new video card. This 780ti i was very hesitant to purchase because of the refurbished status. Now in 2015 refurbished, besides cosmetics on a laptop or a ipad,means your getting the same device as a new one with a marginally longer warranty. This card is amazing like any other 780ti. I've had zero problems with it, and felt bad not writing a review earlier in case anyone else wanted to get one of these and was hesitant. It runs cool,has provocative LEDs on the card, handles all games i have at max if not near max settings for a clean playing experience to match my monitors 144hz refresh rate. I was a total AMD guy, i switched to Intel, not going back, and now this from my AMD/ATI 7950 Boost, sorry AMD. Should of come out with the 380 and 390s sooner, but i think i might of just been converted.

Cons: I had initially trouble getting my monitor to work via HDMI, but with a display port adapter to hdmi, i'm now connected. I don't think this is on EVGA or this card,this is on NVIDIA.

Rosewill Fortress 650W Single Rail Platinum Certified

Rosewill FORTRESS-650 - 650W Active PFC Power Supply - Continuous @ 122°F (50°C), 80 PLUS PLATINUM, ATX12V v2.31 & EPS12V v2.92, Intel Haswell, SLI & CrossFire-Ready

Pros: I am old school about PSUs. I normally would buy name brand, Antec, Cooler Master, or Corsair items because i try to reduce the margin for error in my PC builds. Now Rosewill a few years ago I would of considered a GENERIC brand. They have proven me otherwise with their Cases *which i bought a Challenger case along with this PSU, which i love*, their peripherals, and now their PSUs. I had a Thermaltake dual rail PSU TR2 600, it powered my new Haswell build up but i got blue screens from returning to sleep in sometimes in boot and during high loads in games. Now my ATI 7950 was pulling real power, and my previous Thermaltake couldn't handle it. Not to mention the new Haswell low power sleep modes, it coudln't handle booting back into Windows from sleep mode. Not to mention i just dropped 500 on a MB and CPU about a month ago, and to get blue screens on your brand new setup i was not happy. After using my new Rosewill Challenger tower to put this Fortress 650 in, i put my Astek Fatal1ty and 4670k into it. Along with my kingston 128gb SSD and 2 TB Seagate with my samsung SATA DVD writer. I was worried again about my MSI 7950 pulling too much power. Everything booted up perfectly. No blue screens, can return from sleep fine now. Couldn't be happier with this PS. Most gamers have these wacky ideas they need 800w - 1000w PSU for their setups, if u boil it down to the math its just not the case. I got lucky and paid 90 bucks for this unit, and I couldn't be happier! Thank you Rosewill, you have a loyal customer!

Cons: Not Modular, I knew that when purchasing, big deal!

Overall Review: If you don't understand PSUs u should really research this stuff before dropping the money it takes to get a real PSU. Lemme tell u though, if u have a moderate power pulling Haswell setup like mine, this is the PERFECT PSU. Platinum certified too? COME ON!

Great Tablet!

ASUS Nexus 7 1GB Memory 7.0" 1280 x 800 Tablet PC, Bilingual Keyboard Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) Brown

Pros: Honestly, i was skeptical about purchasing a REFURBISHED tablet. I really wanted the Tegra processor, and was about to go ACER. Now, i couldn't be more happy. The one thing i didnt know was there is no internal SD card slot. So the 32gb is all u get ,except for adding a USB adapter and a thumb drive or external HDD. Regardless, great looking, PERFECT condition, I wouldn't be able to tell it was refurbished vs a new one. I would certainly buy another, another great New Egg purchase!

Cons: No internal SD card for added storage, but can be rectified with a USB adatper.
