Most Favorable Review

awesome except for one detail

ASUS P6T Deluxe LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P6T Deluxe LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Awesome features and hardware configuration. large video cards fit without obstruction any other ports. The BIOS has a plethora of options for o/cing as well. It comes with the optional fan that is usually used for water cooling.

Cons: Express gate. This feature allows to have internet and skype access in 5 seconds (outside of OS), however after reading ASUS tech support forums it appears this option has a bug if you lose power or turn off PC abruptly while express gate is being started. I turned my pc off during the express gate start up screen because i was still building it up and testing some fans. long story short, the mobo wouldn't post or boot even after resetting with jumper and removing the battery. i disconnected everysingle thing including cpu and then it booted up again. ONCE I disabled express gate (just to be sure since i don't care for it) the mobo has been working flawless. Just don't ever turn off the PC during the express gate start up screen and you'll be fine according to ASUS forums.

Overall Review: Other than my bad experience, the mobo is awesome and everything else is running perfectly. I wish of course the price was less, but that is completely irrelevant.

all of my nope

Turtle Beach Ear Force PX5 Programmable Wireless Headset Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound with Bluetooth
Turtle Beach Ear Force PX5 Programmable Wireless Headset Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound with Bluetooth

Pros: wireless and bluetooth, a blessing really, when it works. You can use both RF and bluetooth at the very same time which is very nice. e.g. you can play and her the game sounds while you play music on your phone. I have had this headphones over a year now , they do still " work", i guess the quality is good, but not without so many connection problems described below.

Cons: Sound quality is just plain bad. They honestly sound to me like the headphones i used to get at the dollar store when i was young. i have tried all the settings even downloaded a preset with more bass from the TB website, still never happy with the sound quality. Signal breaks often even when i'm 3 feet away from the receiver, i have tried different tweaks, shutting down my wireless router, etc, you name it. signal breaks often. They are also too big or i have a small head, which is not a problem with at least 2 pairs of headphones from other high end brands. no noise reduction at all, but i guess this could be again because i cannot achieve a snug fit to my head.

Overall Review: Unfortunately not many brands offer a wireless RF and bluetooth combo that actually works.

works perfect

Sony PULSE Wireless Stereo Headset - Elite Edition for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PS Vita
Sony PULSE Wireless Stereo Headset - Elite Edition for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3 and PS Vita

Pros: I have been looking for some wireless headphones for a while. The Sony pulse headset works flawless, i have not experienced any static or loss of sound at all. the sound is amazing, bass is also above the standard of most headphones. I can go around the house without loosing signal even in the garage. 2400ft house. The fit is perfect as well, i have a small head (this was also a problem with the PX5 from turtle beach) and i can get a snug comfortable fit. Although they are not designed as noise cancelling I almost cannot hear my kids screaming while i'm playing music or playing games.

Cons: heavy bass on max volume might not be the best sound produced. however you can also adjust the bass separately from the volume control. Not an issue since i don't need to make my ears bleed. I still get good bass even at low volume.

Overall Review: Well worth the price. Superior than my px5 from TB which were freaking 300 bucks. I have a pair of PX5 and i was just tired of dealing with a plethora of problems with those.

EVGA GeForce GTX 285 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 01G-P3-1281-AR

Pros: Awesome performance . fan is quiet. Comes with overclocking utility. Every game is running at highest settings with constant high fps.

Cons: Does not serves me coffee. Card is a bit too big, I put it on a mid atx tower case, but the space is very reduced, you'll be fine if you have small hands like me lol.

Overall Review: You need a high power PSU, but i guess if you're looking to buy this card then you already know that. It requires two PCI power cables from PSU If you're also buying a case, you might wanna spend the extra bucks and get a full tower instead of mid.

Comments: CPU's running beautiful. I would give it a 5 rate but the OEM cooling fan sucks and does not even fit properly... I replaced it with a all-copper one running at 4000 rpm instead of 2500 like the OEM.. reduced about 20 degrees right away.
