Most Favorable Review

a very nice laptop for a student

HP Laptop ZBook Intel Core i5-4310M 8GB Memory 250GB HDD 250 GB SSD 15.6" Non-Touch Screen Windows 10 Pro 15 G2
HP Laptop ZBook Intel Core i5-4310M 8GB Memory 250GB HDD 250 GB SSD 15.6" Non-Touch Screen Windows 10 Pro 15 G2

Pros: Has light to light keyboard in dark. 4gb RAM Dual core procssor built in webcam + mic hdmi ports

Cons: Battery lasts for like 2 hours. no recovery partition or dvd, you have to make a system image to for later if you need to restore laptop is very heavy can't play many graphic games

Overall Review: I bought this laptop from another a popular online auction site and it was refurbbed too, except mine was 160gb hard drive and was $160 total with shipping. It's a great machine if you get it for the write price. It can handle games like Killing Floor, Left 4 Dead 2, and Torchlight 2 on medium settings with no lag. It has stereo mix enable so if you do any audio recording it will work.

Most Critical Review

not satisfied

CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 (CWCH60) High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
CORSAIR Hydro Series H60 (CWCH60) High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

Pros: the price

Cons: The package came 5 days after I ordered it. It was missing parts so instead of emailing Newegg (not their fault) I emailed Corsair and never got a response. To makes things worse they would not accept my rebate after having to deal with the missing parts. Cutting the UPC off the box = can't send it back to newegg.

Overall Review: Corsair did send me a email confirming the rebate to be invalid and told me "Thank you for your purchase. We look forward to serving you again." well I look forward to not buying another Corsair product again.

not what i thought

Rosewill RIKC-13001 - Cherry Key Switches
Rosewill RIKC-13001 - Cherry Key Switches

Pros: rubber, sort of a grip, cheap

Cons: does not fit Sharkoon 000SKSK. Gonna test on my other Rosewill RK-8100 keyboard and report back if they do fit.

awesome

Cooler Master Seidon 120V - Compact All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 120mm Radiator and Fan
Cooler Master Seidon 120V - Compact All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 120mm Radiator and Fan

Pros: Cools my sister's computer down very well. Her AMD Athlon x2 6000 with stock fan would hit 70c at full loads and with the cooler it's at a steady 35-40c . I can't complain.

Cons: does not come with good thermal paste

Overall Review: if you want the best, get arctic silver paste, remove the kind that comes with it and apply arctic5

Great Little Case...

Portable USB 2.0 2.5" inch SATA Hard Disk Drive External Case Enclosure Box pc laptop
Portable USB 2.0 2.5" inch SATA Hard Disk Drive External Case Enclosure Box pc laptop

Pros: Cheap. Only needs 2 screws Comes with Screwdriver + screws Does not require external power

Cons: A little lose (you can hear the hard drive in the case if you turn it upside down and back up again) Back panel of enclosure is slightly lose, no screws to screw that in.

Overall Review: For the price you can't beat it. It does not have fans with it, but if you wanted an enclosure with fans you'd pay a little bit more. I am satisfied and I'll probably order one more in the future.

very underrated pair of headphones

Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset
Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset

Pros: Great bass. Long cord. Detachable microphone Very comfortable (2-4 hours of wearing them) Traps outside sound Works great with my Creative PCI sound card.

Cons: Can cause ears to get warm after periods of time. Top of headphones look weird so you'll definitely get some stares at a lan party Top of headphones attracts hair and dust. Has cheap feel but I've ran over these cords with a roll chair and pulled on them and never had a problem.

Overall Review: I love these sets. I use them for gaming and listening to electronic music with my Creative sound card. I hope they never stop making this model as they are very good for my needs. I've purchased around 5 sets of these and will continue to do so as long as they are $20 or under.
