Most Favorable Review

Great motherboard just wish...

ASUS Rampage III Formula LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Rampage III Formula LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: -SATA III -USB 3 -Triple SLI -Good integrated audio -dual bios -VERY easy overclocking with Asus Suite II

Cons: Here's what why I gave it 4 and not 5 eggs. When I first took the motherboard out of the package. There were fingerprints on the southbridge heatsink and there was a capacitor slightly dented.

Overall Review: Decided not to RMA it cause with my luck I could get back something worse or a DOA. Other than it looking used it works great.

Awesome!

Premiertek  PL-18N  USB 2.0  GAMEBASE Adapter 2X9DBI ANTENNA - Retail
Premiertek PL-18N USB 2.0 GAMEBASE Adapter 2X9DBI ANTENNA - Retail

Pros: My room is probably about 150ft away from the router and one floor up and I've only been able to get OK reception from other adapters. With this one I always have a minimum of 4 or 5 bars out of 5.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Very easy isntall. I have windows 7 64bit home premium and I just plugged it in and windows automatically installed the drivers. I was using a D-link 7dbi antenna on my pci adapter and experimented with swapping it with one of these antennas and it surprisingly didn't make really a difference. However, both of these antennas in their base combined is awesome.

Blurrs be gone!

Pros: At work all day I stare at a computer screen and I always find myself rubbing my eyes and having blurred vision. These completely eliminated all of my eye problems. I'd like to think they are actually saving my eyes but I have no idea if they are but my eyes are definitely strained less.

Cons: None.

Awesome fans!

Excellent easy maintenance water cooler!

Pros: I have a Intel i7 980X overclocked to 5Ghz. With the stock heatsink, when running 3dMark06, I would hit almost 90 degrees C. With this cooler and replacing the stock fans to Scythe fans. My temp doesn't even go over 70 degrees C now!

Cons: None.

Pretty Cool

NVIDIA 3D Vision Glasses Kit w/ Limited Edition Avatar 3D Stereo Glasses Model 942107010007001

Pros: Works fine with most games and looks great!

Cons: If my graphic settings are up too high (antialiasing) the glasses do not operate properly. However I did try to set it to 32x cause i have 2 GTX 260's. It works optimally at 8x and still looks nice.

Overall Review: If you have everything thats necessary to run 3d and just need the glasses id say go for it. But if you need to upgrade your video card and get everything else id say its not worth it.
