This review is from: Diablotek DA Series RSDA350 350W ATX12V Power Supply
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Weak. Did not last. Failure rate to high. Poor support.
Other Thoughts: We had a bunch of these as back up PSU for our lab computers at the school I interned at. We installed a few of these when needed as our PCs were donations since it was a public school. Before we did our new PC deployment. Out of the many I installed in our old wore out PCs they ran hot the fans failed and some just quit. One had a capacitor pop. Scared the heck out of the lab teacher haha. Buy this with caution.

This review is from: Rosewill Xtreme Series RX850-S-B 850W Continuous @40°C ,80 PLUS Certified, ATX12V v2.2 & EPS12V v2.91, SLI Ready CrossFire Ready, Active PFC "Compatible with Core i7, i5" Power Supply
Pros: Dual rails. Solid. Never had an issue with this unit since I have had it. Has been through 2 builds. ALOT of connectors. Cords are wrapped for a clean look and wire placement.
Cons: Not really a con but,only recently has the LED's on the fan started to flash. Fan still running steady. Not Modular. had to tuck the extra cords under the drive bays.
Other Thoughts: First build powered:
Foxconn A7GM-S Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD triple core 2.8Mhz
3 Seagate Barracuda 500Gb drives
Nvidia 8800 GTS OC Upgraded to a GTX460
2DVD drives
Now powers:
Gigavyte 990FX-UD3
AMD FX8320 8 core
16gbram
GTX570(Sorry cant afford another one of those so no SLI tested)
3Seagate 500Gb HDDs. Now on a 250Gb ssd and a 640 WD Blue
2dvd drives
This unit has stood the test of time and what little torture I have put it through. My case does not vent the PSU very well and yet it keeps on chuggin.
I would buy this again. In fact I did buy a Rosewill Xtreme Series RX750-S-B 750W and it has proven to be a stable PSU as well.

This review is from: Logitech G230 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Stereo Gaming Headset
Pros: Cheap. Sturdy like the G Series seems to be. Fabric sheathed cord, Comfortable, Clear stereo sound. +3 eggs
Cons: Although the cord is fabric sheathed it is lightweight and feels weak. Provides a lower quality of sound than the G35 or 930s. It is only stereo so don't think this will give you an edge in the game world. I use G930's for gaming so I don't use my on board sound card(Realtek). This headset has no built in amplification. It is needed, ever so slightly. When the base hits when connected to my PC the other frequencies of sound drop lowering the overall volume. These are a power hungry headset. The controls on the cord feel flimsy.The ear surrounding is fabric over foam, the g35 and 930s are vinyl or plastic(Preference). Also, overall low volume. -2
Other Thoughts: G930's = Wireless version of G35. G35 has to be one of the best headsets I have had. I bought these to use with soft phone for work. They suit the purpose. Just don't expect anything too great. I would not gift these or buy another pair. Save your money for the G35s. G930s have all kinds of wireless issues...When they break...going back to G35s If you don't want to save or wait Turtle Beach X12s my next best choice. They have amplified sound and bass control and are built as good as these + they have a better cord... even if it is 10ft long...
