BitFenix Prodigy Review

BitFenix Prodigy Arctic White Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case
BitFenix Prodigy Arctic White Steel / Plastic Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case

Pros: Looks like a mini G5 but no OSX :D Cute. Lots of inside space for mini ITX. Removable HDD cage. Lots of cooling options. Enough room for a Hyper 212 Evo. Cute.

Cons: Too cute to handle.

Overall Review: Relatively expensive for mini ITX, but has a high quality finish as well as expandability not found in other ITX cases. Did I mention it's cute?

ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, IEEE 802.3/3u/3ab

Pros: Great range. Very fast connection speed (going from a 150 mbs dlink). Able to handle lots of traffic with no hicccups.

Cons: A little pricy, but you get what you pay for.

Overall Review: On average there are 10-15 people at my house with phones, tablets, PCs, laptops, etc (I have 3Pcs in my room alone) and this router has had no issues handling the load. Color me impressed.

Hyper 212 Plus

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes

Pros: Cheap. Great performance, was able to push my A8-3850 (I know it's low end) to 3.95Ghz from 2.9.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: This is a fairly large cooler, so keep that in mind when buying, it just fits in my M59 with maybe 1/2"-3/4" to spare.

Pros: Fast. G.Skill so I know it will last a good long while.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Picked up on sale for $55, hard to argue with at that price point.

WMC Remote Review

Rosewill RHRC-11001 - Windows Vista / 7 / 8 MCE Infrared Remote Control with Learning Function
Rosewill RHRC-11001 - Windows Vista / 7 / 8 MCE Infrared Remote Control with Learning Function

Pros: Easy to set up. Cheap.

Cons: No problems so far.

Overall Review: The learning feature isn't a true learning feature where you point the remotes at each other and one "learns" the others commands, instead it's done through WMC, but the end result is the same.
