Awesome Motherboard!

ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 USB 3.0 HDMI uATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 USB 3.0 HDMI uATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: - micro atx - price is under $100 (great for budgets) - usb 3.0 ports - hdmi connection

Cons: - only came with 2 SATA cables (not something worth docking an egg for, just a forewarning)

Overall Review: I used this for my first gaming rig and it works so well, I had a budget of $1000 and it fit in very nice well worth the price and it's no wonder this motherboard is always in and out of stock. Easily a 5/5 egg product and I recommend this to anyone with a budget or first time builders

Garbage

Team Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model TLAD38G2400HC11DC01
Team Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model TLAD38G2400HC11DC01

Pros: Color is very unique and looks great in motherboards with yellow/gold schema

Cons: Where do I start, all 3 sets I've purchased are complete garbage.I thought I was banking when I got these on sale in December (2013) but boy was I wrong. None of the sticks can get past 1866 and none of them run stable at any speed. I was able to get a pair to run 2133 but the mobo would only recognize 4/8gb installed and again not stable. I've used 5 motherboards on them now and all get BSOD with memory issues when you try to do any sort "heavy" tasks (in most cases gaming, but also happened during a full system virus scan with bitdefender and a disk defrag with bitdefender and the stock windows defrag). They all fail memtest and windows memory tests before an hour. Worst part is I've tried contacting "Team" about this with any work arounds or motherboard suggestions but no response in over a week!

Overall Review: Will definitely be returning/exchanging these and will be very weary about buying "Team" products ever again. I previously bought 5 set of their Dark series and 4/5 sets work perfectly so I thought I was in the clear when I got Vulcan but NOPE. If I could give this 0 eggs I would

It's a disk drive...

ASUS Black 18X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model DVD-E818A7T/BLK/B/GEN

Pros: It works!

Cons: nothing so far :)

Overall Review: Honestly it's a disk drive (like my title says) it either works or it doesn't. I got 5, one for myself and 4 for clients computers and they work exactly like they're supposed to. Nothing else much to say really

Diamond in the Rough

HEC 6T Series 6T10LOH585 Black SECC Steel MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case with HP585 Power Supply
HEC 6T Series 6T10LOH585 Black SECC Steel MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case with HP585 Power Supply

Pros: - cables inside were very easy to organize - usb connection was SATA on the inside! very nice - fairly spacious for its size - comes with a power supply - excellent cost

Cons: none at this time :)

Overall Review: I used this case for building new low-budget business computers. Fits all the parts with ease and still had plenty of space. Very surprised to see how well organized I could get it with very little effort. The power supply is more then enough for business needs and it comes with the case. Easily a 5/5 egg product
