Good for the money

RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-730SS 730W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply, New Version with Build-in LED Fan On/Off Switch
RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-730SS 730W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply, New Version with Build-in LED Fan On/Off Switch

Pros: The power supply is extremely cheap for the money, puts out enough power to run my devices, and looks really nice with the blue LED lights.

Cons: First, there needs to be an additional SATA rail. I have just enough connectors to run the RAID array in my case. 730 watts=more than enough power to do this Second, this power supply put out insufficient power once. My computer started phasing and then blue screened with an insufficient power error. No other device I had went out and it seems apparent to me that it was the power supply. I just hope it doesn't do it again.

Overall Review: Good for the money. Only needs to last me a few years.

Most Critical Review

Poor Performance

Rosewill RHM-556 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Headset
Rosewill RHM-556 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Headset

Pros: It's a very cheap item. I got it for under $10 shipping included.

Cons: The first clue was the packaging. The item was shipped in a small package with no protection. Upon opening it, the item had nearly fallen out of the plastic package. Lastly, the item barely works. The microphone barely picks up my voice when I shout at it, and the speakers have a constant static to them.

Overall Review: I should have known better than to get a $10 headset. I will either continue using my old headset or buy a more expensive brand of headset.

Great Router

Tenda N600 Concurrent Dual Band Wireless N Gigabit Router
Tenda N600 Concurrent Dual Band Wireless N Gigabit Router

Pros: The router has dual band, and is relatively inexpensive. It has a very modern appeal to its look also. I bought this router to replace my old router that constantly needed restarts. No problems at all.

Cons: When I first got this router, it worked strangely for the first hour and had to be restarted a few times. It isn't a big deal since it works 100% ever since.

Overall Review: This is a great router for the price.

Great Drive

Western Digital Blue WD7500AZEX 750GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital Blue WD7500AZEX 750GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Overall it performs very well in my RAID configuration. The 64mb cache really helps it compared to my older 32mb cache drives. I mean....it's a hard drive and it works.

Cons: Not the cheapest drive out there. I had to get this exact size to match my other 750gb HD for RAID. If you can, get a 1tb-2tb and it will be more value for your money.

Overall Review: Great drive. Works as it needs to. All that really needs to be said.

Great For the Money

Sentey Extreme Division GS-6700 Spider Plus Black 1mm SECC ATX Full Tower Computer Case, 1 x USB 3.0, 5 x LED Fans Included, Tool-Less, LED Temperature Display
Sentey Extreme Division GS-6700 Spider Plus Black 1mm SECC ATX Full Tower Computer Case, 1 x USB 3.0, 5 x LED Fans Included, Tool-Less, LED Temperature Display

Pros: This case it great for the money. It has plenty of room inside, looks amazing, and has great cord management. The modular bays can really help keep the inside of the case organized. Also, the front ports are REALLY convenient: great placement, 2 USB2.0, 2 USB3.0, and HDaudio.

Cons: The drive bays can be a bit of a pain, specifically the hard drive bays. The open nicely and easily, but hard drives don't fit very well. There are pins that slide into place, and I have 2 HDs from 2 different brands and neither of them line up with the pins. It isn't a huge deal because the HDs slide in snugly and are held by friction anyway. Many other people mentioned that the cord length is short and they are very right. I was able to get everything to reach to where it needed to go (barely), but I actually had to stretch the HDaudio cord diagonally over literally everything in order for it to reach the bottom left of my motherboard. An extra 2 inches would be made all the difference

Overall Review: Overall, I am very satisfied. I gave it 4 stars for the minor problems stated above, but the I was able to work with the case and everything is working as it should be.

PNY GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCGGTX670XPB
PNY GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCGGTX670XPB

Pros: First of all, I'd like to say this is a great card. I got it on sale for 350 with a 50 dollar rebate. For 300 bucks, there is no better value for your money with high performance cards. The card itself is lighter than you would think, it does not produce excessive heat compared to my old GTX 275, and it surprisingly sucks less power.

Cons: The major con with this card is its ability to overclock. The 670 as a card can overclock very well, but compared to other 670s my card does not overclock very well. I may have just gotten a sub-par card, but I cannot get even close to what an EVGA or Gigabyte 670 can do (I have 1000W PSU so that's not the problem). Additionally, it's just a big card. No way around it and obviously expected. Just be aware.

Overall Review: The only reason this card gets 4 stars is because it does not overclock comparably to other 670 brands. But like I said, extremely satisfied with this buy. You WILL NOT get a better value than this card.
