Pros: Replaces the old Asetek 570LX liquid cooler I had for 4 years. Apparently Asetek is no longer making the 570LX and pointed me to the Corsair equivalent. The installation went smoothly and fired up without issues. The fan control software is a big plus. has been keeping the overclocked i7 2600k (4.6Ghz) at around 55C under heavy loads. The Asetek did this as well.

Cons: The only gripe I have with this unit is the fairly loud humming noise coming from the unit while set in the performance mode. This cooler can get quite loud. Surely Corsair needs to tinker with the engineering of the unit better in order to quiet it down during peak usage.

Pros: Easy installation, quiet, runs cool and is FAST! The ACX cooler does a great job in keeping this card cool. After uninstalling the graphics drivers for my previous card, 580 GTX, I installed the new 780 GTX. Using the clean installation feature in the Nvidia graphics driver software, there were no issues in getting the graphics set up after reboot. I did not have to use driver sweeper prior to installing the 780 GTX, nor did I have to update the BIOS for my motherboard. The card was immediately detected. The 780 GTX is the same size as the 580 GTX, so there was no issue with not having enough room in the Azza Hurricane case.

Cons: Of course the price but that is it!

Overall Review: Replaced a 580 GTX for the 780 GTX and am so glad I made the choice. The 580 is a very good card but the 780 practically spanks it in performance. Since I do alot of flight simulation (FS9 and FSX), the 780 is a welcome addition. The 580 struggled fairly often in FSX at high settings, but the 780 is performing like a charm. Heat was always an issue with the 580 during heavy cloud draws...usually 50-60C and the fans would get very loud. I have been using the 780 for a few days now and have already put it through the paces in FSX and FS9. The card has barely reached 47C during the heaviest of loads. Graphics load much faster in both sims. Tried it with BF3 and BF4 beta as well. With ultra high resolution and full screen mode, I get solid 60 FPS. No hiccups at all! I guarantee you will not be disappointed in purchasing this card. Use EVGA Precision to set the fan curve for heat dissipation. Works great! Rig: Asus P8Z68 V-Pro mobo, Intel 2600K CPU oveclocked to 4.6 Ghz (liquid cooled), 8G Corsair Dominator Platinum 2x4G(8-8-8-24), Thermaltake 1,000W PSU, Fatal1ty Champion Series sound card 2x1T WD Velocity Raptor drives and 1- 600G WD Velocity Raptor, Azza Hurricane full case.

Pros: Nice finish, smooth and stays in place quite well. My Cyber Sniper laser mouse works very well on this pad. I have used other higher priced mouse pads that do not hold up as well as this one.

Cons: The finish on the mouse pad does come off and gets all over the bottom of the mouse. I have to regularly clean it off. There is definitely an area of the pad surface that is void of any finish...looks worn out now.

Overall Review: I'm sure the maker of this mouse pad has a good reason to apply a finish to the mouse pad but what for? All it does is create a mess on the mouse and a person's hand after a while.

Pros: Compact design, decent images, customizable software, ethernet or wireless connectivity, viewable from cell phone, expandable wireless coverage, and price

Cons: Installation was not as easy as I had imagined. Going through the step by step process in the set up software was not as clear and user friendly when trying to use wireless connectivity. had to call Dlink's tech support to walk me through the process. Had to set up connectivity via ethernet first and then configure for wireless.

Overall Review: Not certain if motion detection is actually that reliable but am still evaluating the camera. So far works quite well and can go in any room without ethernet connectivity. Have set up the software to send frequent images to my email in case I cannot view the video from my phone at intervals of every 2 minutes. yes, that can be alot of images but worth knowing whether or not my landlord is sneaking into my apartment without proper notice.

Pros: Dependable, fast, runs cool and is fairly quiet for a 10,000 RPM drive. This is my second 1T VelociRaptor that I have added to my pc in the past month. Now I have 3 VelociRaptors occupying space in my pc and could not be happier.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: The price for this raptor may be high but well worth the price. I have 2 1T VelociRaptors...one for Win7 and another for storage,etc. The other 600G VelociRaptor is used specifically for flight simulation. I have always used raptor drives in previous builds and never had one fail on me. Boot times are almost cut in half as opposed to a regular 7,200 rpm drive. If you need the performance boost in games or applications, you cannot go wrong with VelociRaptors. Sure, I could have spent more $$ on a solid state drive with comparable space, but SSDs do not perform any better than a VelociRaptor when it comes to flight simulation. I don't know how comparable SSDs are when it comes to FPS games, etc. At any rate, I am more than happy to stay with WD VelociRaptor drives.

Pros: Large viewing area, easy to set up, no ghosting, no dead pixels, clear and sharp pictures/text. The on/off touch screen is a plus.

Cons: The base of monitor could be beefed up.

Overall Review: I switched from an ASUS 24" LCD to this one and I'm glad that I did. Since I primarily use my pc for flight simulation, I wanted the most viewing space possible without breaking the bank. I found no need in installing the software that comes with the monitor. I was able to make some adjustments within the monitor's menu. I have had a Samsung monitor before and never liked the Magic Bright software. Just a personal preference.
