Most Favorable Review

Great product

Intel Core i5-4690K - Core i5 4th Gen Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 88W Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop Processor - BX80646I54690K
Intel Core i5-4690K - Core i5 4th Gen Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 88W Intel HD Graphics 4600 Desktop Processor - BX80646I54690K

Pros: Easy to install Intel Support is very fast and responsive

Cons: First one was DOA, contacted Intel immediately and they cross-shipped a brand new one identical to the one I bought and it was here within 2 days. Works like a charm and worth the money.

Overall Review: I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone. Only 4/5 eggs due to the first one being DOA.

Fine Product

ASUS Z97-PRO GAMER LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Z97-PRO GAMER LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Easy to install Runs Flawlessly when not DOA

Cons: Motherboard was DOA. DIMM slots 1 and 2 refused to allow the system to even get to POST. I literally built an entire new computer basically to test this and even had two repair shops, in good standing, verify all my parts were good and even test the motherboard. If the ram was in slot 3 and 4 the system would POST no problem, 1 and 2 is a no go so having to RMA it through Newegg to get a replacement. 1 Bent CPU pin on the board right out of the box where it was bent backwards; I was so hesitant to put in my expensive Devils Canyon i-5 I bought a cheap matching socket cpu just to make sure it would work. Hopefully the new one will be better; Until then 1 out of 5 eggs. Max eggs I would allow ASUS for this tragedy is 3 of 5 due to the fact these things should have been noticed, tested, and or corrected BEFORE shipping. Update: New MOBO came in and it was a simple drop in and plug in. POST immediately no issues on the new one! Stressed it out and no crashing or issues with the mobo so far. I'm content with the product now but my rating will stay at 3/5 eggs and I still recommend either getting a MAXIMUM VII for better quality.

Overall Review: I would not recommend this to anyone looking for a decent motherboard. If you want a decent one from ASUS you mise well go get the MAXIMUM VII as it pulls them in enough cash to really care.

Bad Product!

ASRock ASRock Fatal1ty Gaming Fatal1ty Z97 Killer LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Ran well when it worked Easy to install

Cons: The original mother board was defective out of the box. The dimm slots were having issues and did not recognize my Team Elite RAM which I had to replace eventually with GSKILL (140$ endeavor). From there I started experiencing system crashing (as if the system was over heating when it was not at 30C on mobo and 32C on the i5) while starting to play games. Contacted their supported and went through every single step they had and from there they issued a RMA. Got the new motherboard in which was DOA with 3 bent CPU pins! Absolutely insane this would happen so I called their number, which took almost 20 minutes to find as it is not listed anywhere on their website, and explained what the issue is. The first person I spoke to said they were a supervisor, which they WERE NOT and I eventually got someone who was one, and that the motherboard was tested before it left their facility. Hard to believe 3 bent pins were overlooked but apparently was. I was then explained that if there were 3 or more bent pins when they get it back it's considered MY fault (I took video on opening it and inspecting the RMA as I had a feeling this would happen) and there would be a 50$ fee for it. I'm now out 125$ for a faulty mother board which I can not get a refund on nor do I want a second RMA on it as the product has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Overall Review: I would not recommend this mother board to ANYONE. It did not last even 3 months and their RMA process is not easy let alone their customer service is poor by far. Look for a better product even if it's 20$ extra.

Bad choice

Rosewill Helix RM-20 Mouse
Rosewill Helix RM-20 Mouse

Pros: Cheap and useful for it's job. Does all that is required of a mouse and mouse than a regular 3$ cheapy from a super store so on so forth.

Cons: Less then a year owning it and already the left click has ceased to work. All the other buttons work properly, left click doesn't even do the "clicking" noise any more nor does it respond at all. Used extreme care when using it to make sure no damage was done to it and I'm a very light clicker; It took over 5 years for my gaming Razr mouse to break on me. I would not recommend this product to anyone as the plastic seems cheap, it like other products made by this company, cease work near 6-7 months of ownership.

Overall Review: Will never purchase again nor would I like a replacement; Extremely upset over something that was lightly used for 2-3 hours a day and never abused.

Nice

CyberpowerPC Desktop PC Gamer Ultra 2098 AMD FX-Series FX-4300 8GB DDR3 500GB HDD AMD Radeon R7 240 Windows 10 Home 64-Bit

Pros: Beautiful set up, didn't take long to get up and running (20 minutes max), and shipping wasn't a pain.

Cons: Bad cable management, the rack that holds the hard drive is bent on the 1st-3rd row from the bottom up, the back where all the pci cards are at is bent outwards which took me some time to push in gently to get the replacement card in, and the video card that comes with is trash honestly. Replaced video card with EVGA GeForce 650TI SSC 2gb card.

Overall Review: Could be better built and fix the cable management, also atleast give people a card that can run facebook games.

ASUS VE198T Black 19" 5ms LED BackLight LCD Monitor w/ Speakers 250 cd/m2 ASCR 10,000,000:1

Pros: So far nothing, will give a better review if it causes problems

Cons: Wobbly stand, took way to long to get here. Bought it on the 22nd, shipped on the 23rd, didn't get it until the 1st nearly 2PM

Overall Review: Shipping could be better and the stand could actually be made properly where it doesn't wobble all the time.
