Most Favorable Review

Factory defect, but great overall

ASUS VH236H Black 23" Full HD Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ Speakers 300 cd/m2 20000 :1 (ASCR)
ASUS VH236H Black 23" Full HD Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ Speakers 300 cd/m2 20000 :1 (ASCR)

Pros: Great look Very smooth Amazing color Perfect size

Cons: Factory defects (eg dinks on the screen, which I'm returning it for) Speakers are meh, but do the job.

Overall Review: My previous review said that the dents and dinks came from UPS, which is ignorant to jump to conclusions on my part for that. After carefully inspecting the box, where there seemed to be very little damage, I believe that the defects are from the factory. I'm going to return it, and hopefully get a brand new shiny one.

Most Critical Review

Broken Card (Probably)

EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 02G-P4-2670-KR
EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 02G-P4-2670-KR

Pros: ~ Runs everything max settings (when it actually runs at least) at 1080p ~ Cool

Cons: ~ Games crash constantly, without notice. Everything from Half-Life 2 to Crysis 3 crashes at random. Nvidia drivers are always updates to the most recent (this being 320.18; however it has done this since I bought the card, and with all the drivers since 306.97)... and I have not overclocked it. Sometimes my computer just shuts off too, or I get a completely black screen, and a sound just repeats. ~ Loud, extremely loud. I always wear headphones, and I can hear it.

Overall Review: I love this card, though the issues I'm having with constant crashes and whatnot are making me disappointed.

Impressive

Beats Mixr On Ear Headphone-Black
Beats Mixr On Ear Headphone-Black

Pros: ~Stylish ~Great Sound Quality ~Great Build Quality ~Best sound of the Beats line. The metal construction is fantastic, and is very durable. The sound quality has the Beats punch, with heavy bass, though is still great for listening to most music and not just House or Rap. Personally they sound the best of the Beats line for commercial use. And they're probably the most stylish headphones around.

Cons: ~Somewhat small ear cups ~Some noise leakage ~Price The ear cups are circular and very small for "around ear" headphones, though they fit fine on my head. Where these headphones shine in audio quality is where the music cranked-up all the way, and you get noise leakage... sometimes a LOT. The price is extremely high for heaphones because of being "designer brand" headphones.

Overall Review: If you don't mind the price, but want portability and style just buy them. They sound much better than the Solos, and personally look better.

Pros: None so far

Cons: DOA, trying to RMA this coaster.

Overall Review: Luckily I bought an SSD, but with this DOA I've been packing all of my important documents onto the SSD for now, and I am NOT pleased.

Best Keyboard I've owned

Logitech G510 Keyboard
Logitech G510 Keyboard

Pros: ~Fast and responsive, even while using only 1 USB 2.0. ~Great feeling keys ~Fantastic ways to customize the G-keys ~LED ~Durable ~Sexy So far, it has worked flawlessly. The only problem I have is the wrist rest which I rarely use is hard plastic. This fits perfectly on my desk. This is great for FPS gaming, and even RPGs.

Cons: ~Hard wrist rest ~Backlighting on some settings isn't all too bright.

Fantastic keyboard.

Logitech K740 Illuminated USB Keyboard
Logitech K740 Illuminated USB Keyboard

Pros: ~Comfortable ~Sleek and Stylish ~Responsive ~Light ~Great for all around use Extremely comfortable, and is still working perfectly after months of wear-and-tear.

Cons: ~No programmable backlit keys ~Difficult to clean Even though the backlight is not programmable, it is fairly understandable since this isn't a high-end keyboard. Also, the keyboard is a bit hard to clean; but if you aren't clumsy like me, nor stupid like me... you probably won't have a problem with pieces of biscuit in between your keys.

Overall Review: A fantastic keyboard I picked up from Staples for $50 a bit back. I use it for casual gaming, and work use, so I carry it around often. I mostly play lower-end games like Half-Life 2, and Left 4 Dead. I also have one at my office, for work. In both cases it works like a charm, with almost no problems.
