Most Favorable Review

Unbelieveable performance

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM2 125W Processor - ADX6000CZBOX
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM2 125W Processor - ADX6000CZBOX

Pros: Lower than price of the Intel Brand chips. Can be clocked higher with a water cool heatsink set to 3.5 . Windows loaded up in least than a 8 seconds. For those that use CAD and engineering programs. 64bit allows you to add more pieces to your blue prints. 32 bit you limited only 400 components max for CAD blue prints.

Cons: Can't clocked higher than 3.2 with stock fan. AMD X2 5600+ is able to be safetly clocked higher with stock fan to 3.0

Overall Review: Great price and almost near performance to Intel. Saved a lot of money from using this chip instead of Intel. Used the saved money to buy 8 gigs of Ram for my PC.

Most Critical Review

Not That bad

Swiss Precimax Men's Formula-7 Pro SP12063 Rose Gold Stainless-Steel Swiss Chronograph Watch with Black Dial
Swiss Precimax Men's Formula-7 Pro SP12063 Rose Gold Stainless-Steel Swiss Chronograph Watch with Black Dial

Pros: 1) color and style looks great on the wrist. 2) dial are large to see. 3) marks glow in the dark for easy reading at night. 4) you could tell the day of the week.

Cons: 1) manual is pretty horrible and have no idea how control each feature of the watch. 2) Very hard to set time on watch with out mess it up. 3) which it could show the month and year as well.

Overall Review: If you like spending hours fiddling around with a watch then this is the watch for you. It's very easy to pull the middle knob of the watch out, but when it comes time to put back to normal. seem you have a very hard time pushing the middle knob back in. I had a lot of problems and would end up setting the time off from what I wanted to set it out. I think this watch shouldn't be sold at this high price because of horrible way of setting the time on the watch. the technical writing is just plan horrible I don't have clue what other dial on the watch even does. there's absolutely no explanation. How to set the other settings on watch is just horribly explain way with diagrams without some background information of what it is your doing to the watch lol.

Horrible Card

GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-4GD GeForce GTX 770 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready WindForce 3X 450W Video Card
GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-4GD GeForce GTX 770 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready WindForce 3X 450W Video Card

Pros: None

Cons: Overheating card.

Overall Review: This card just overheats. I'm not sure why but i'm getting a lot purple blocks and stuff in mechwarrior online. The card start to flake out once my return in 30 days is up. The card playing one night and the card is DOA. Now I have a card that doesn't work at all. I would avoid buying cards that said it could cool itself with 3 fans like a plague.

4 HDD Raid 0

Western Digital WD RE4 WD2503ABYX 250GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Enterprise Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital WD RE4 WD2503ABYX 250GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Enterprise Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: 1) Large amount of space compare to SSD. 2) 64 MB Cache 3) Rounds pretty quiet when on, but does a screech when shutdown. 4) very high rpm. 5) iron packs that throw in to keep it air tight is no longer place next to pin connector area. 6) 4 drives raid gave me 500 mb read and write speed. = D

Cons: 1) Loud screech when shut off PC. not sure if drives are going bad or what. only happens when turning off PC. 2) had to reinstall my OS wasn't able to clone my drive = ( 3) Western Digital arconis software wouldn't let me clone my sea gate drive to my new western drive seems they only prefer all WD only.

Overall Review: it makes loud bag sound when shutting off my pc for some reason. it only happens when i place the pc in shutdown. the raid is great when you working on cs6 pushing out a video encoding is a lot faster then my old drive in ide setup. 500 mb read and write helps a lot when working on youtube videos. = D

WD WD RE4 WD5003ABYX 500GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: 1) Drives are fast. CrystalMark read and write test said i have 500 read and 400 write when raided. 2) Drives didn't fail yet. 3) Package with a lot of Foam and iron oxides packs wasn't place next to backs pins of the drive.

Cons: 1) makes a weird sound when shut down my pc. 2) wish the refund was longer then 30 days.

Overall Review: Last time I got drive from this site they put iron oxides packets that take out the air right next to back hard-drive pins. so, they end up poking a hole and spilling out all over the drive. this time it didn't happen which is plus because last time i had to return the drives because of that. Every time, I shut down it makes a load bang like a driver pressing down hard on their brakes of a car. I read the forums online and that is like a sign of one of the drive will go bad. has anyone else have this happen to them when raid 0? the good thing is 500 read and 400 write is pretty good for hdd. I was going for ssd, but i didn't like the limited space because i do a lot of cs6 premier pro video editing. I need more space to work with large video files. so far, it's pretty fast booting up cs6 apps. windows 7 startup is pretty long but at least you don't see the icon flashing blank because the drives are too slow.

Left side of headset stop working

Creative 70GH014000002 3.5mm / USB2.0 Connector Circumaural Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Sigma Headset
Creative 70GH014000002 3.5mm / USB2.0 Connector Circumaural Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Sigma Headset

Pros: Mix metal and plastic composite frame. adjustable earphone. nice cushion.

Cons: flismy wiring causing one side of the earphone to stop working while the other side you can hear some sound. this same build quality of purchase from 99 cent store earphones that stop working about a day of purchase because of chinese quality build.

Overall Review: i should have put my money in a astro headset. this headset is junk after a couple day of use. I regret buying this headset and should have invest my money to a better brand. I should have listen to all the warning others have voice that one side of earphone will stop working.
