Amazing sound!

SONY XBA-1 3.5mm Connector In-Ear Balanced Armature Earphone (1-Drive)

Pros: Sound Quality. Highs, Mids, and Lows play clear as a bell. Light weight material.

Cons: Wasn't cheap ;)

Overall Review: I've always been a Sony earbud fan. They seem to sound the best at the price point. Well some how I lost my 2 year old $39.00 Sony in ear monitors a month ago, and it came down to this or some way more expensive bose that still didn't even sound as good as these. So glad I picked them up. I got them at BB on sale for $68.00

Amazing in UNRAID

HGST Deskstar NAS 3.5" 8TB 7200 RPM 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s High-Performance Hard Drive for Desktop NAS Systems Retail Packaging 0S04012

Pros: Reliable, fast, large, and quiet for NAS spinners!

Cons: They aren't bigger for less? lol

Overall Review: I bought 10 of these to try my hand at UNRAID, and I have to say that I'm in love! Not only are these drives fast enough to keep up with average home gb network, but they can even push a bit faster if needed. I am moving from a FreeNAS setup that is much smaller, and is using many more drives. I have to say that these drives have made my storage life a breeze!

This is the bees knees right here! ;)

GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Overclocking, stability, options, looks, and price! I paired this Mobo with an i7 Sandy Bridge 2600K@4.6ghz stable (Prime95 35 hours), 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 DDR3, XFX 5870 OCd, Coolmaster CM690 II tower case, Cooler Master RS800 80+ Gold rated 800W PSU, Zalman CNPS9900A CPU cooler, 2xWD3200AAKX 320GB SATA 6GBs HDDs in RAID 0! I Love New Egg!

Cons: Wouldn't really call this a con, but you need to do your reading about what things do in the BIOS if you plan to overclock. It wasn't as simple as setting the multiplier and rebooting. This is a new technology Sandy Bridge. I see a lot of ppl giving bad scores to the mobo because they can't get it to overclock correctly. I too had issues with the 4.4+Ghz barrier, but with a couple setting changes in the BIOS it booted right up and I could prob go even higher than 4.6. If you need any help twitter me @cmorrisut

Overall Review: I am very pleased with this mobo/CPU combo! Not only is my overclock stable on AIR (with a great case, and CPU FAN), but it will handle anything I could toss at it with ease for a long time to come. I've been a Gigabyte and ASUS fan for many years, and I'm very glad I went Gigabyte this time 'round. Thanks Gigabyte, and Newegg!
