CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX950 (CMPSU-950TX) 950 W ATX12V v2.3/EPS12V v2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX950 (CMPSU-950TX) 950 W ATX12V v2.3/EPS12V v2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: All in all, I'm sure this power supply is great.

Cons: This PSU in particular and I believe it's the whole TX series, does not play nicely with ASUS P6 series motherboards. Also, if you have a mid tower...you're gonna need lots of zip ties for the cords. This thing has a stupid amount of them. If you get this powersupply get a bottom mounted mid tower or get a full size one.

Overall Review: Very heart breaking because I loved everything about this one in particular. I RMA'ed the Mobo just to make sure nothing was damaged and I'm refunding this PSU to get a different brand.

Pros: Mechanical keys. Durable. Great for gaming.

Cons: Not back lit; which isn't even really that big of a deal to me when I consider how much this keyboard has going for it.

Overall Review: This keyboard is simply fantastic. I won it at a gaming tournament and was a bit sceptical at first. Soon as I started using it; it was love at first click. The mechanical switches are so much nicer while playing TF2, CS: Source, and even Dragon Ages. I can say without a doubt I type faster with this too. I've done little tests online using my old keyboard and this one and I always am typing faster with my DAS.

Thermalright U120eXtrem1366RT R-C 120mm Fluid Dynamic CPU Cooler

Pros: Wow this thing is amazing. I can rest my hand on the heatsink without it burning. That's with it ideling though but still. My processor hovers right around 30C while ideling and about 37C - 40C when gaming. I also used Arctic Silver 5 though.

Cons: The way you attach it to your motherboard is very tricky. When I was installing the spring loaded screws, I had to have a friend hold down the heatsink on top of my processor while I pushed as hard as I could to get the screws to reach the thread hole. I felt like I was going to break something. It was very nerve racking; If I was Thermalright I'd supply just slightly longer screws. Seriously, a centimeter or 2 more would make it WAY easier.

Overall Review: For the love, do not underestimate the size of this thing! I have an ASUS P6X58D Premium and this thing only just fits. Make sure you measure your motherboard to make sure this thing will fit. Also, it's very tall so check the width of your case too.

Pros: I mean, hey: It's a 7200 RPM, 500GB hard drive with a 64 MB Cache for a great price.

Cons: None
