1 1/2 year update.

COOLER MASTER Intel Core i7 compatible V10 Hybrid TEC RR-B2P-UV10-GP 120mm CPU Cooler
COOLER MASTER Intel Core i7 compatible V10 Hybrid TEC RR-B2P-UV10-GP 120mm CPU Cooler

Pros: Bought this monster in 09 and still love it! It removes a lot of heat from my overclocked q9550, even set at a very low RPM.

Cons: After about a year the two fans started "chattering". I was able to keep it under control by adjusting the RMP, but that got old. I emailed Cooler Master and asked how to buy replacement fans for the cooler. I was directed to fill out a "Parts Request" form and about a week later it was approved and two new replacement fans showed up three days later via UPS and at No charge!!!!

Overall Review: I've never bought a Cooler Master product before this, but it won't be my last!!! Way to stand behind your products Cooler Master!!!!

Most Critical Review

It Works

ASUS Rampage II GENE LGA 1366 Intel X58 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Rampage II GENE LGA 1366 Intel X58 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: It works and looks good and came with the back plate. It was VERY well packaged, A+++ for that.

Cons: Started it up and went into the BIOS and it was in Chines, Took me about 30 minutes to get it all reset to English.

Overall Review: I'm satisfied, as of now, that it works so far and it was the only mATX 1366 board I could find. Seeing how it came from China and had no accessories but the backplate and the BIOS were in another language, I'd probably pass on it if I were to do it again.

wHAT i NEEDED!

Coboc CL-AD-HD2VGA-6-BK 6 inch Dongle-style HDMI to VGA Video Active Adapter Converter with 3.5mm Audio for Desktop PC / Laptop / Ultrabook - 1920 x 1080 Resolution
Coboc CL-AD-HD2VGA-6-BK 6 inch Dongle-style HDMI to VGA Video Active Adapter Converter with 3.5mm Audio for Desktop PC / Laptop / Ultrabook - 1920 x 1080 Resolution

Pros: It's of very good quality and physically works great for my set-up. The shipping time was great, took no time to get it.

Cons: For me, it's not working just yet. That being said, I think the problem is somewhere in my settings, or I don't have the right GPU driver yet.

Overall Review: Great quality item, wish I could they made an HDMI to DVI in the same package/style. I would buy again without hesitation.....

It'll do the job, but not worth $170

Waterproof Portable Carrying Shoulder Bag Backpack Case for Parrot Bebop Drone 3.0 RTF Version
Waterproof Portable Carrying Shoulder Bag Backpack Case for Parrot Bebop Drone 3.0 RTF Version

Pros: The outside case seems to be of decent construction, the foam padding I believe should be good. I received it in just a few business days.

Cons: The padding is just glued together layers of foam and aren't even stacked even. The center "Flap" is just that, flaps around. Very large!

Overall Review: Arrived in good time, outside shell seems to be good and should do the job overall. The foam work could have been better for the price. About the price, a $100 over priced! I would have liked to see the flap in the middle be zippered to one-half or the other, it's kinda like closing a suitcase that doesn't have a secure middle divider. Did I mention this thing is huge! I may revisit after I've gotten some miles on it.

Great board for legacy sytem but beware of memory limitations

GIGABYTE GA-G41MT-S2PT LGA 775 Intel G41 + ICH7 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-G41MT-S2PT LGA 775 Intel G41 + ICH7 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Great board for legacy hardware.

Cons: One egg off due to the memory limitations with 4GB sticks. The board works with most 1GB & 2GB RAM, but not 4GB sticks. If you're looking at 4GB sticks, beware, only two or three brands are listed on the QVL. Samsung, AMD and Apacer I believe are the only ones, otherwise you're stuck with 1GB or 2GB sticks. .

Overall Review: Good board to breath life back into older components, but the fact that you're pretty much limited to 1GB or 2GB sticks, kinda defeats my plans. I bought two 4GB sticks to max out the RAM and guess what, no go... Now I have to spend more money to buy more RAM and wait longer to get it going.

Rebate Update

Cooler Master HAF XB EVO - High Air Flow Test Bench and LAN Box Desktop Computer Case with ATX Motherboard Support
Cooler Master HAF XB EVO - High Air Flow Test Bench and LAN Box Desktop Computer Case with ATX Motherboard Support

Pros: Great case

Cons: How can it be out of stock, I was going to buy another one....

Overall Review: I originally gave a big thumb down for the rebate turnaround time. I had my dates wrong and, in fact, the rebate came in the time specified. Sorry, Cooler Master for the bad review, you’re still my favorite manufacturer.
