budget fans!

Pros: The quality of these fans are definitely above average. Move LOTS of air.
Cons: One of the fans has a slight click to it. There is no way these fans are 17 decibels...they aren't loud but they aren't silent either..
Overall Review: For $30 this is probably the best bang for your buck if you need some new fans. The noise these make are not loud, but you can definitely hear them. It's not an annoying hum or drone like normal fans though. Its more of a windy day sort of sound. Like a gentle breeze.
Loud...when at high speed. Cools well though

Pros: Quality is decent. Doesn't seem too cheaply made..Radiator is solid and tubing feels secure. Block seems fairly well made.
Cons: LOUD when above 2,000 rpm . Really is a shame..Antec needs to work on their fan design pretty badly... I have 3 120 mm fans a 140mm fan on my psu, and a 200mm exhaust fan on the top of my case...all of them at 100% are quieter than this thing above 2000 rpm...Although it does cool quite well, the fan noise kills it for me. Also, the 1155 bracket system is a joke. I ended up zip tying my block to my motherboard....
Overall Review: I got this for a good price and was disappointed on a few things...It does cool well though! I am having good results over my Arctic cooling air cooler. (silent btw, compared to this monstrosity of a fan design..)
No problems so far

Pros: Modular, plenty of power for a mid-high end build. Lots of connectors, feels like it's built solid. No hiccups.
Cons: Not really a lot to complain about at the moment. A lot of people say there is coil whine. I have zero coil whine. I mean when I am gaming and put my head down near my computer case, it whines a little bit, but it is not at all like what people are saying. I'm not sure if it can handle 2x R9 290s yet. We will see when I get the other card. But it runs my single 290 just fine.
Overall Review: I got this PSU for my birthday in November. 5 months of abuse and I have had no issues.
Not bad...for earbuds.

Pros: Very good dynamic range, very articulate and clean sound, very comfortable, decent quality.
Cons: Carrying case is very cheap, bass leaves some room for improvement, a little bit to expensive.
Overall Review: I bought these on sale at radio shack for $41. I could never see myself paying $80 for these. Don't get me wrong, these are nice ear buds, but that's all they will ever be. Don't buy any ear buds expecting them to be anything like over-ear headphones. If you are used to those and don't spend hundreds of dollars on ear buds, you are going to be disappointed, period. These are very nice for someone who doesn't want to lug around big headphones all the time. You will hear sounds in songs that just don't come through on cheaper ear buds. The sound is very clear and crisp. The bass isn't the greatest, but again, these are not big speaker headphones. With any ear buds, they take a little time to break in. After a while they will become even clearer and the bass will be slightly better. If you can find them for cheap, I highly recommend these.
Large and in charge!

Pros: This monitor is a HUGE upgrade from my 19" Asus monitor. (1440x900 res). I honestly didn't think that only 4 inches would make a difference but it does. This is a proper sized monitor. Full 1080p is the only way to play games and browse other media. No ghosting or any off that nonsense. No dead pixels upon arrival.
Cons: Blue bleed on the bottom and top of the screen when there is a dark image on the screen. Not a big deal to me but it's something that needs to be addressed. Also, the buttons are on the BOTTOM of the monitor making them awkward to use. I still haven't figured out the custom brightness/contrast settings. The colors aren't quite as crisp as my asus monitor either.
Overall Review: A lot of people complain about the monitor wobbling. Yes, it does in wobble a tad. But if you are gaming or watching a movie or just browsing you won't notice it. The only time is when it's really noticeable is if you don't have a sturdy desk and/or you jerk your mouse really hard or type really hard. It doesn't really bother me that much. For the price its not a bad monitor.
Amazing budget board.

Pros: This mobo is perfect for someone building their first gaming pc or for some other application heavy environment. The BIOS and OC tweaking tools are super easy to update and use. You have the choice of what to install and what not to install with the disk. It doesn't just install on it's own like another review said...Just install the drivers you need and the intel/OC program(s) you want and BAM. It works.
Cons: My stock lga 1155 cooler would not sit right in the board. No matter how hard I pushed on the pins it wouldn't snap in all the way. The thermal paste was hardly even touching the CPU...I had to buy a different cooler because I was hitting 100C at full load.... Just get one that has a screw in mounting bracket when you buy a different cooler.
Overall Review: system specs: i5 3450 @ 4.0ghz 8gb kingston ddr3 1600 asrock z75 pro3 xfx 7770 I can run any game on max with no problems. I still have some head room for overclocking and there are tons of great features with this board for the price. Highly recommended...just be sure to buy a new heatsink as well ;)z
