ROCKSOUL RSKB-00115 LED backlit Gaming Keyboard with Anti-Ghosting Keys
ROCKSOUL RSKB-00115 LED backlit Gaming Keyboard with Anti-Ghosting Keys

Pros: heavy, loud, keys dont stick easily, cleaning keys is effortless, backlight is EXTREMELY bright in a dark room and gives a cool strobing effect.

Cons: i do not personally care for the layout of the keyboard. i generally prefer those where the enter key is a 1 key high, 2 key wide rectangle. here its the odd.......L shaped key. this causes alot of typos for me, and i wish id noticed this beforehand. the keys have no kind of coating to help with finger grease and grime. so expect to be dragging a knife/scraper over the keys every month or so if you smoke. the "LOCK" keys have very dim lights compared to the backlighting of the board itself.

Overall Review: easy to disassemble, but not so easy to clean. oh the keys are easy enough, but the backlight plastic? nah. that things darn near impossible. it seems to absorb anything that falls into the cracks, as even scrubbing that junk with rubbing alcohol dosent get it clean.

Most Critical Review

85 watts total maybe, but not per channel.

Harman Kardon AVR-1610S 5.1 Channel Network A/V Receiver
Harman Kardon AVR-1610S 5.1 Channel Network A/V Receiver

Pros: it functions, and weighs so little that you could balance it on a single finger.

Cons: it has 2 240mf capacitors for its power caps, i.e. it is literally incapable of putting out ANY bass. it claims 85 watts, but begins clipping to the point that volume stops increasing at around 30-40 watts when in any surround mode surround modes are locked. you can only use certain sound modes with certain input devices and speaker setups. want 5 channel stereo? TOO BAD. it randomly decides if you are allowed to do 5 channel stereo or not, so essentially if youre playing any non 5.1 audio, its only coming through as 2.1 NONE of the surround modes (other than 5 channel stereo) expand stereo to surround, all any of them do is add various amounts of reverb and apply MASSIVE attenuation, to the point that if theres supposed to be any deep bass (which you wont be able to hear without a subwoofer), all of the mids and highs get lower in volume as the amplifier struggles to keep going, because thats what 240mf capacitors get you. remote is absolute garbage. feels like its made out of tissue paper its so lite, has COMPLETELY RANDOM BUTTONS BACKLIT(none of which are the volume buttons), and the volume buttons are actually SMALLER than several buttons and the same size as every other button. the calibration is absolute garbage. plug in their mic and hit auto, and watch as the stereo thinks the best possible sound for your speakers is one where you pretty much only hear the "wet" channel of a reverb effect, as though youre in a giant auditorium with computer speakers.

Overall Review: this MIGHT be good if you run little satelite speakers, but if youre running ANY real speakers this thing wont even be able to get them moving. i mean honestly, when ive got an eq bumping up the 31hz by 18db, and the 62 by 16db, AND have the actual amps bass set to 10, and can STILL barely hear any bass coming from my speakers that are set to "large", theres a real problem. this will be the last time i ever buy anything from H&K again. in the past their products have always exceeded my expectations. this worthless piece of trash tells me that they have become just like every other audio manufacturer, pumping out low quality garbage and overcharging for it. you are better off buying some 25 year old stereo than this crud.

perfect card

ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card ROG-STRIX-GTX1070TI-A8G-GAMING
ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card ROG-STRIX-GTX1070TI-A8G-GAMING

Pros: rocks pretty much any current game at 1080 maxed out, and dosent even go above 60-70% gpu usage on the most demanding. handles fallout 76 perfectly. ultra quiet as the fans dont even turn on unless it goes over like 50c but it idles around 30-40, and only gets to 50 under near full load. even then, ive yet to see it hit 60. plus, on the ROG models, they have case fan pinouts, so when the cooler eventually stops working because the terrible quality tiny fans used in all GPUs, you cn swap them out for some 140mms without an adapter.

Cons: none applicable.

Overall Review: this card is a beast. takes up a good foot or so in the case, and even in my oversized case there was just barely enough room. make sure youve got space for it, or get ready to sher away parts of your case to make room.

COMPLETE trash

Seagate Expansion 3TB USB 3.0 3.5" Desktop External Hard Drive STEB3000100 Black
Seagate Expansion 3TB USB 3.0 3.5" Desktop External Hard Drive STEB3000100 Black

Pros: ~175 read/write speeds but ONLY with the default format. reformat and youll drop to 40-80

Cons: reformattting the drive, as was need for me to do some installing of OS's, results in you ONLY having access to 2Tb of the total, which is closer to 2.5 than it is to 3Tb.

Overall Review: dont bother. seagates "help" on reformatting their drives gives nothing. i have 1 partition of ~1/3 of my hard drive that is permanently set in a way that i cannot actually partition it for use.

perfect for the price

APEVIA CF12S-BK Case cooler
APEVIA CF12S-BK Case cooler

Pros: very cheap. got it for under 3$ and free shipping. effective. spins at ~1300-1400RPM, is relatively quite, and moves enough air for my purposes.

Cons: wires are extremely cheap. this is to be expected to point, but the wires leading to the "4 pin" molex connector feel like their one single solid strand of almost non existent metal. i would greatly suggest not ever using them.

Overall Review: im using this for a GPU fan. like literally any 120 or even 80mm fan, it far outperforms the flimy little piece of trash that comes with any and every graphics card. i probably wouldnt choose to use it as a case fan, but as a GPU fan it excels. keeps my 550 TI backup card at 45C idle, and under 60C full load.

its a beast

Noctua NH-U14S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A15 140mm Fan (Brown)
Noctua NH-U14S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A15 140mm Fan (Brown)

Pros: beats the stock cooler for my 4690 to death. it used to idle at around 66, now it idles at ~46 and never goes above 68.

Cons: none

Overall Review: its quite large, i only had about 1/8th of an inch from the case wall and the cooler. probably wouldnt go well in a side fan case.
