Pros: -These are sturdy ram sticks with a relatively high clock and low latency timings which are beneficial for any system over slower clocks and higher timings. -The red part of the heatsink is removable! It's great if you plan on using a giant cpu heatsink (pretty much any double tower heatsink).

Cons: None that I can think of

Pros: This laptop is relatively cheap for the specs you get. An older i5 and SSD handle general computing with ease. It comes with Windows 7 so you don't have to "upgrade" from Windows 8. More battery life than I expected. I get just about three hours for light web surfing/coding.

Cons: I had to have newegg RMA the first unit I received. It appeared as if it had never gone through quality control. If it did, the person that approved it must have been very sleep deprived. -The first one had a large chunk of insulation missing on the charger, allowing the wires to arc (yes, they arced). The charger also didn't charge the laptop. -The left click button had no "click" feedback left. It was entirely worn out. -The lid did not latch. -The laptop was pretty dirty looking. Nasty stuff in the speaker grills and on the screen. With both the original laptop I received and the replacement, the screen quality is incredibly poor. It cannot really display red properly. It's more like a pale pink/orange color. It's still usable, but it's not beautiful by any means. With the laptop I currently have, I'm having issues with the drivers. I tried to contact Dell but they said my coverage (warranty) was void. Not sure how that's possible, or who to contact about getting that resolved. It seems like any of the updates they suggest, via the Dell support website, don't work. I've tried many times to get myself off the original BIOS, and none of their updates will even start. They fail on start.

Overall Review: The laptop gets really hot. Unless you like your legs cooked to about medium, I'd say this is only a for table use laptop. For those wondering if it has a webcam, it doesn't. The little thing on the lid that looks like webcam is a light sensor. The SSD in this laptop is a Samsung PB22 FDE. They don't necessary seem to have the best track record with speed or reliability. Not sure I'd buy refurbished again. Hopefully my job will pay for a good new one after college.

Pros: -Coming from a Core 2 Quad (Q6600) era processor, this is like hopping into a brand new formula 1 race car after sitting in your used economy car with 350K miles on it. (HUGE speed difference) -These chips have a slight advantage over the 4770K in terms of thermal management which is good for the overclocking community.

Cons: It's a touch pricey, but you get what you pay for!

Pros: -This case is nice looking. It allows you to show off your hardware without having to always have fan embedded leds on. -The fans, when controlled by my motherboard, are almost silent. I'm coming from an Antec 1200 with tons of 120mm fans and an open front. It's refreshing to not your computer humming away while you're only on the internet. -The overall design of the case is nice. The rubber grommets help keep your wires a little neater. The swinging case door is removable making it easier to install all of your stuff. There are air filters on all of the openings of the case. -The ability to remove the entire hdd cage assembly (for better airflow) is really nice since I really don't need much storage. -The black theme is maintained well throughout the case. Even the fasteners are black. Many cases have silver hardware which doesn't look good (in my opinion). -There is plenty of airflow with the stock fan setup to handle most enthusiast systems. You'll probably only want to add more if you're doing SLI/Crossfire or your graphics card(s) doesn't exhaust all of it's air out the back of the case.

Cons: I'm going to nit pick. I'm really really happy with this case overall. - The tool-less design poorly held my DVD drive forcing me to screw it in (which I would have done anyway) - The standoff tightener stripped on the first nut I tried to tighten - The position of some of the fans didn't make much sense. I had to unscrew a few and rotate them 90 to 180 degrees to get the wire to come out where I wanted it to. - The top has a non-removable air filter. Why would I want to filter the air going out the top of my case...? I just left the top off since it's covered by my desk so it wasn't a problem - The bottom air filter seems to fit loosely and I question how well it will really filter because of this - NO CABLE TIE DOWNS IN BACK! Come on guys. You did such a good job on space in between the motherboard tray and the back door yet you didn't put any hooks/holes for me to use twist ties for cable management!

Overall Review: I absolutely love this case. My cons are really just things you run into when you're putting your rig together for the first time. Just a couple things I thought I'd throw out there in case the manufacturer decides they want to make a second revision with slight changes. I added a RGB led strip that I got elsewhere and it makes everything look stunning!

Pros: I've had a mouse PAD for many years, and that was okay. I wanted to get a bigger mouse pad so I ran passed this and decided to pick it up since it was the perfect size. I hadn't really read into the sphex, but it turns out its really thin! I love it because it doesn't create an awkward step up to where your mouse is like a mouse pad. This is considered a skin rather than a pad. You won't be getting a thick spongey pad with a rubberized grippy back. This is a slick coated piece of plastic with adhesive on the back to keep it in place. This skin is very slick, looks cool, and like I mentioned before -- It's thin!

Cons: None

Overall Review: I'd highly recommend that you buy this. The thin-ness is really a nice feature.

Pros: The fans are a good price (when there is a rebate out for them). They move a decent amount of air. They aren't too loud. The LEDs aren't too ostentatious, which is nice.

Cons: They weren't free.

Overall Review: I put them on 7V since the system they are in doesn't require vast amounts of air movement. They still seemed to move a pretty decent amount of air even behind an air filter. Very quiet too. May or may not be a con for you, these are 3 pin fans, and have a pretty short lead. The 4 pin molex connector is an adapter that has a long lead on it.
