Pros: Super easy setup, and lots of options to use the mic in any setting. Super solid feeling mic. Very sturdy build quality, and is a massive mic.

Cons: Over the years, the metallic coating on the base is beginning to rub down, but really its just cosmetic. This thing is solid. The Mute button can be a little touchy in terms of responsiveness but overall works fine. Again this is being really picky. Overall love the mic.

Overall Review: Love it, I always get questions on what mic I am using because it is so clear. No need for what I do to go get any mega expensive mic, this one knocks most of the competition on its rear.

Solid build quality, in a small package

GIGABYTE Z390 I AORUS PRO WIFI LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 SATA 6Gb/s Mini ITX Intel Motherboard

Pros: - Very small, fits perfectly with a radiator in NZXT H210 - Wifi antenna has a magnet to attach elsewhere, rather than clogging up desk space - Lots of USB ports, and built in sound card - Built in graphics card works great for light duty use.

Cons: - Mounting AIO Watercooler can cover the RAM Slots in some cases (expected imo) - Only one PCI slot to expand to (also expected)

Overall Review: If you are looking for a small budget MOBO for your gaming or streaming rig, this does the trick!

Amazing Headphones

Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 with 7.1 Surround Sound, Wireless Headphones with Microphone
Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 with 7.1 Surround Sound, Wireless Headphones with Microphone

Pros: -Sound Clarity is amazing. The virtual 7.1 is simply superb. -Wireless range is great, I can go anywhere in my house with no problems. -10 Hours of battery life I get consistently -Charging station is handy, and the non-proprietary USB plug is a plus, as i can use it to charge/dock my phone, and other devices. -Super comfortable ear cups, deep inset which makes reverberation and sound isolation great. -The build quality is very study as well, and the adjustment mechanism for sizing the headphones makes it easy to get an exact fit and have it stay there. -I cant say enough good things about this headset. If you are considering buying, DO IT.

Cons: -the mic seems to constantly be looping sound to the headphones, muted or not. It can be a little annoying, but it is not noticeable if you have music or a game playing. -The G Keys are programmable, but it is kind of limited out of the box. I had to get some third party plug ins to allow me to assign keyboard keys to the g keys for talking in Teamspeak while away from the keyboard.

Overall Review: I have purchased a wide variety of headsets from an even wider variety of manufactures both high and low end. This headset is hands down my favorite for both sound, and comfort. I would recommend this for anyone who really enjoys having a gaming headset you can use for hours on end without feeling the repercussions on your ears.

Smokin CPU

Intel Core i7-920 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 1366 130W Processor - BX80601920

Pros: Easy installation, Large Heatsink/Fan included, works amazing with my Asus Rampage II Extreme and Windows 7 64-bit +12GB Ram. I would definitely suggest this processor to friends.

Cons: Occasional freezing when left alone for long periods of time, but I am still troubleshooting to see if its a problem with voltages. Might not even be the processor, just thought it was worth mentioning.
