It works!

Rosewill RMS-MT5010 37" - 50" LCD LED TV Tilt Wall Mount, Max Load 132 lbs, Max VESA 600 x 400mm, Black

Pros: I ordered this this item because I needed something sturdy to hold my tv. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889102694 This thing works great, I like how the tv attaches to the wall mount and you can slide it to center it. I also like how you can tilt for viewing, this works great in our bedroom.

Cons: The reason it only got 4 stars out of 5 is that I am a huge newegg customer and usually the photo on the item page matches exactly what you receive. However, the photo on newegg is a little deceiving as there is no built in level. Instead, the item comes packaged with a very cheap level and I highly suggest purchasing your own. The mount looks exactly like whats on the page minus the level.

Overall Review: I used this for a stud finder http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16803008678 You will want to make sure you follow the instructions for drilling the pilot holes etc. Also, something that helped me out with this mount is that the swing arm can come completely off. I highly suggest figuring out where you want the item on the wall, then use a stud finder to find your 2 top mount points. Disassemble the swing arm from the unit, mount the unit then drill the pilot hole through the bolt opening on the mount itself. THIS helped me tremendously.

CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750 W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Modular PSU's are great.

Cons: This worked for an hour and then tanked hard. I thought I was having a motherboard issue but it turned out that it was the PSU. I like corsair, I just received a lemon.

I'll always buy a Samsung Smart TV from here on out!

Pros: Lightweight, lots of inputs. Picture quality is amazing! I haven't had to make any adjustments to the TV. Dynamic setting is very bright and vibrant. There are some reviews on other websites stating the power chord in the back is blocked by a wall mount... I have this mounted in our bedroom using this wall mount without any issues. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824994063 Smart TV features, well this is my first smart tv, this won't be my last. We use Netflix, and Pandora on a daily basis so the built in apps feature is perfect for us! Wireless is great, it was so simple to configure!

Cons: I have not found any cons yet, but I will be sure to edit this if I do find any.

Stay away!

EVGA DS Superclocked 015-P3-1587-AR GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) 1536MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: The card will eat anything I throw at it! Super fast. I do like the light up EVGA logo on the side.

Cons: I purchased a card with a faulty fan. Card works fantastic. The faulty fan vibrates causing this internal buzzing sound when the fans go above 40% speed. I contacted EVGA and they were very happy to replace the entire card for me but, I have a card that works great! I just wish I was able to just get the replacement Fan. I can't be without my PC since its for work so. I have one faulty fan on the card and I am having a very difficult time trying to find a replacement. I have emailed Power logic to see if I may order a replacement fan since I don't want to have to ship the entire card back for RMA for a simple fan replacement. This will probably be my last EVGA card of this design.. Single fan from now on!

Overall Review: I have been a strong supporter of EVGA and this is the first time I have been burned by a card of theirs.

I love this case

Cooler Master HAF X Blue Edition - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with Windowed Side Panel and USB 3.0
Cooler Master HAF X Blue Edition - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with Windowed Side Panel and USB 3.0

Pros: I have always enjoyed Cooler Master cases. The Haf-X is amazing. Cooler master really thought about everything here. Very easy to work on. Cable management an airflow are great! Love the Side window and the fan that blows directly onto my GPU!

Cons: It didn't come with any donuts? There aren't really any cons about the case. I could complain that the case only came with 1 top 200mm fan so I had to order another one from Newegg but meh, not a show stopper.

Avoid this keyboard

RAZER Lycosa Keyboard
RAZER Lycosa Keyboard

Pros: Loved the design of the keyboard and the backlit quiet low profile keys.

Cons: I've returned this keyboard twice. There are certain keys on the keyboard that will just stop functioning and you have to reboot the pc in order for it to become functional again. I thought by removing the razer software that it would make a difference but it didn't. Its a shame too because its honestly a gorgeous keyboard. I just cant have this thing going dead during raids. -_-
