Good Mobo

ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Always been a price-performance guy, and this lives up to the definition. Excellent board for medium range builds.

Cons: With nearly a year of use, the graphics cards on there have created an extremely slight flex in the board. I have had no luck with the overclocking features built in to the board.

Overall Review: This is a great board, I would buy it again.

Great Product

Frisby FS5020BT 800Watt Bluetooth 5.1 Surround Sound Home Theater Speaker System
Frisby FS5020BT 800Watt Bluetooth 5.1 Surround Sound Home Theater Speaker System

Pros: I purchased from a different vendor, but even at this price, it still performs at a level found in units 3-4 times its price. It should be noted, I am not an "audiophile," just a guy who looks good, crisp sounds. The instructions are simple to comprehend (albeit font size seems small), especially when splitting 3.5mm outputs from a PC to RCAs. I bought it as a joke because "What system will actually be good for $105-$150," right? RIGHT. I ended up setting this up as a more permanent configuration and gave my preceding system to my parents for their workout room.

Cons: The price point pretty much buys you an egg, and it would have lost one while I was setting it up. Updating the Bluetooth drivers on my computer wasn't the problem, but the fact that I had to use Bluetooth was. It was supposed to come with 3 3.5mm audio to RCA splitters according to the instructions, but on the website it didn't. So after a trip to my local tech store I picked them up for $2/piece. Totally worth the slight inconvenience.

Overall Review: This has been a surprisingly good product and based on the experience I had, I would recommend you at least consider this as a viable option when looking at $500-$600 systems. Especially since this option seems to float around the $150 mark.

Good fan.

Pros: Cool. Quiet. Purple.

Cons: I paid for three day shipping and got it in two. I guess I will deal with it.

Overall Review: I bought this because I broke my other fan. It was a sad day. When I got this in the mail it was a good day. It came really fast.

Wow. Such Graphics.

Excellent

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit

Pros: It's not any other Windows OS.

Cons: There is no law stating that this should be the mandatory OS to use.

Overall Review: My IT firm said we would be pushing all of our accounts to "upgrade" to Windows 8 in two weeks. I replied with "How convenient. I'll put in my two weeks today, then." %$^# Windows 8. I'd rather run a d*** abacus.

The one.

ASUS PCE-AC68 AC1900 Dual-Band Wireless PCI-E Adapter
ASUS PCE-AC68 AC1900 Dual-Band Wireless PCI-E Adapter

Pros: I bought this because a cheaper variation of this from a different brand was hilariously terrible. It fits snug right above my GTX770 and magnetic antennae sits right on top of my case. Love having my ISP as the bottleneck, as it should be.

Cons: It's up there in price, but it's justified.
