Most Favorable Review

Nice One!!

HANNspree 42" 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV
HANNspree 42" 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV

Pros: Price, 120Hz, Lots of Inputs, No dead pixels, and impressively clear(more than I expected it to be).

Cons: Remote is slow to respond and its thick/heavy... But its not LED so I expected such. Speaks are back mounted (typical) so sound projection is Okay at best.

Overall Review: Overall I really like the device and it works great as a second display/tv for the game room.

Most Critical Review

You have Been Warned!!!

Cooler Master Nepton 280L - All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 280mm Radiator and 2 JetFlo Fans
Cooler Master Nepton 280L - All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 280mm Radiator and 2 JetFlo Fans

Pros: Runs almost silent, currently running an Intel Core i7-5820K @4GHZ and even gaming encoding system stays around 50 C. I really like the water cooling system and I'm letting the MB handle throttling and my bed room doesnt get nearly as warm as my previous system which was Air cooled.

Cons: 1) Stripped the threads out of the casing around the radiator one one bolt hand tightening.... -1 Egg 2) The most important aspect of any cooling system is that it works. This unit will fail to initialize(power) the water pump when power the system on at random times. I've tried every possible way to connect even bypassing and going stright to the PSU same result. Luckily one can hear the pump running if you listen closely and it can be resolved by turn the system off and on again. Sometimes this takes up to 3 tries. This is the one thing about this system that has totally turned me against this product and I would not recommend it to anyone -2 Eggs Due to the fact you could totally burn out a cpu using this product....

Overall Review: I will replace this product at some point in the future at the moment I cant afford the cash or time to replace.

Good Board MSI

MSI X99S MPOWER LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI X99S MPOWER LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Board has been rock solid no issues so far with this board. I was an Asus fan for years until my last few purchases with them and the quality has gone down hill, Board is easy to setup and the quick boot options allow my PC to load fully into 8 with Raid 0 SSDs in like 6 secs from cold boot :)

Cons: Haven't found one yet...

Overall Review: Looks like MSI has a new fan boy!

Rock Solid So Far...

Tenda W1800R Wireless AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n
Tenda W1800R Wireless AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n

Pros: AC wireless, guest network and the ability to segregated the wireless networks from the rest each other. You mostly see this in higher end routers. Easy straight forward setup. Had the device setup in like 15 minutes or less. I then updated the firmware which wiped all the settings. Flip side took less then 5 minutes to reset all my settings as they were saved in browser cash. Other Plus 2 USB 2.0 ports great for a printer and hard drive... Haven't tried that yet but as soon as i do i will update the review. Also this router has been up a week solid no reset.

Cons: Tenda's website was more difficult to navigate than it the routers interface(It's horrible in other words) As others have said setting the time zone on the device is horrible. The page is consistently refreshing every few seconds causing the settings to be set back to the default settings.(No fix for this with update btw so set it fast and save those settings before the page refreshes) Once its save it doesn't go back to default but still a little annoying to set that zone.

Overall Review: Great Deal on the router as it was on a daily special so I got it at a fraction of the regular price. If I would have had to pay full price would have considered a Asus or Netgear Nighthawk.

Awesome NetBook!

TOSHIBA Satellite T215D-S1150 Gemini Black AMD Athlon II Neo K325(1.30 GHz) 11.6" 2GB Memory 320GB HDD Netbook
TOSHIBA Satellite T215D-S1150 Gemini Black AMD Athlon II Neo K325(1.30 GHz) 11.6" 2GB Memory 320GB HDD Netbook

Pros: Light weight, powerful, decent battery life(3-4hours), upgradeable memory(has a 1X2GB stick with room for another), dual core for multitasking and the raised keyboard makes for easy typing. My past experience with Toshiba has been very poor at best. But this is one of the best netbooks I have used thus far. It does get a little warm but having a more powerful GPU and Dual Core CPU has something to do with that.

Cons: Toshiba Bloat Ware!(which is easily removed) The internal fan can get a little loud at times.
