Nice.

Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 350 Bookshelf/Stand Mount Speaker (Black) Pair
Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 350 Bookshelf/Stand Mount Speaker (Black) Pair

Pros: Very nice speakers. Nice piano black finish. Add a good amount of bass.

Cons: Wrapped in a "sock". Have to take off the top and then slide sock down to see the speakers. No mounting connections for stands or wall. Very bright directly in front of tweeter, off to the side sounds better. Excellent computer speakers, but still need a receiver to run them.

Overall Review: I paid $250 for these less than a year ago. At $179 they are a steal.

Most Critical Review

Worked for less than one year.

SURF CUZ  External CD DVD Drive, Ultra Slim CD Burner USB 3.0 with 4 USB Ports and 2 TF/SD Card Slots, Optical Disk Drive for Laptop Mac, PC Windows 11/10/8/7 Linux OS
SURF CUZ External CD DVD Drive, Ultra Slim CD Burner USB 3.0 with 4 USB Ports and 2 TF/SD Card Slots, Optical Disk Drive for Laptop Mac, PC Windows 11/10/8/7 Linux OS

Pros: It worked, now it does not.

Cons: Didn't last ONE year. As usual with most electronics these days, made to work but not for long. The device will not confirm that a cd is in it. Says to install cd even though a cd is already in it.

Overall Review: Not recommended.

Worked for 2 years.

Corsair Force Series 3 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F120GB3A-BK

Pros: Worked great for 2 years then died.

Cons: Buy two, then back each other up. Expensive.

Overall Review: I thought SSD's were supposed to be reliable and long lasting? I've never had a hard drive fail until now and in only 2 years? It is still under warranty but do I want to trust a replacement with my data to something that failed so soon? It's going to cost a bunch to try and retrieve my data which is not covered in the warranty.

Nice subs.

Polk Audio PSW Series PSW10 Black Subwoofer
Polk Audio PSW Series PSW10 Black Subwoofer

Pros: Price. Musical ability. Electronic sound waves can be felt. Shooting a tank in a game is very impressive. I would recommend these to anyone.

Cons: Instructions are lacking. There is a phase switch on the back with 0 degrees and 180 degrees. I have no idea what this does because it is not in the owners manual. Flipping it seems to make the speakers boomy. Light on back really doesn't help.

Overall Review: I have two of these, one on each side of my desk. These are much more musical than my $700 SVS sub and my $85 Sony. They turn on almost instantly without any clicking noises (Sony). I am very impressed with these and for the price, can't be beat. I am sure you could find better at much higher prices but for computer subs, they are awesome. Running on an Onkyo with Definitive 350's. I am so impressed with these that I am looking at Polk floor speakers.

Nice power supply.

PC Power & Cooling ZT Series 750 Watt 80+ Bronze Fully-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ-ZT750W)
PC Power & Cooling ZT Series 750 Watt 80+ Bronze Fully-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ-ZT750W)

Pros: Quiet. More than enough power for my single video card computer, and I can still add another. Modular is very nice, use only wires needed.

Cons: Price is still a little high but expected with the new all modular design.

Overall Review: I bought this for my new build a month ago. So nice not having to stuff a bunch of extra unused wires somewhere. Comes very nicely packaged.

Very nice case

Fractal Design Define R3 Black Pearl w/ USB 3.0 ATX Mid Tower Silent PC Computer Case
Fractal Design Define R3 Black Pearl w/ USB 3.0 ATX Mid Tower Silent PC Computer Case

Pros: Quiet Nice looking Quality construction Roomy On-off button is very nice quality and inset

Cons: Huge, how did this get listed as a "mid" tower? Hard to remove dust filters. 8 hard drive bays? Who needs 8? Non removable Collects cat hair and dust on front/side air slits Expensive

Overall Review: This thing is heavy, tall and deep. If you want it on your desktop, it takes up a lot of space. If you can buy this for under $100, it would be a good buy. Front is plastic but in no way cheap. The grommets did come off for me but just slide them back on, it's not like you have to worry about this everyday. The blue power light is bright and I like it that way. I would recommend this case.
