Great price for a great monitor.
Pros: - G-sync - 100 hz - 3440x1440 res - Ultrawide This monitor is amazing! I am glad I went with a refurb and saved a bit of cash the unit I received was perfect after dealing with one small issue. I nearly died when I saw the screen had a line of dead pixels near the bottom right hand corner. I tried the massage method of getting the pixels to activate when I noticed it was actually manufacturing flux. One gentle tap later and it fell to the bottom and now the monitor is perfect. No BLB that I can see after I optimized the settings. Epic deal. Mine came with everything, even the original box and packing material. I was one of the folks who though G-sync was just marketing mumbo jumbo and all you needed was high refresh rate. Well I was way wrong playing Black Desert at max settings on a 980 ti was a choppy mess on my old monitor. I would jump from 37-59 in town and 55-64 outside of town and this caused very noticeable lag and choppiness. With G-sync enabled and set up correctly this game looks phenomenal its hard to explain but if feels 60 fps smooth even when you're at about 32 and above. Worth every penny in my book.
Cons: None so far. I haven't tried taking a picture with a high exposure to see how much BLB there is but in all honesty after playing games and watching movies and not being able to see anything with my own naked eye, I think the issue of BLB is a bit blown out of proportion. If I were to complain about something I would say the display port is just a bit too close to the monitor housing making it hard for people with big hands to disconnect the cable when its snapped into place.
Overall Review: The stand is ridiculously huge. I will admit I am not a fan of the design but I planned to vesa mount this since day one. It looks good from the front.
This is an expensive piece of garbage.
Pros: The phone feels good in hand.
Cons: - crashes atleast 10+ times a day. - sometimes the crash is followed by a banshee scream. - gets hot and stutters on 720p youtube videos. - closes down apps like its going out of style. - 3 gigs of ram? Feels like 1gig. - screen has developed light bleed right down the middle. Like really how does that even happen?
Overall Review: Have a favorite game or app? Oh boy is this phone not for you! I gave this phone time so I could get over the honeymoon phase before I reviewed and am glad I did. This phone is utter complete sheet. Favorite app? Music app perhaps? This phone loves music apps so much it makes sure to shut them down constantly, especially when driving in the car. Bluetooth also sheets the bed constantly. Games hoo boy this phone plays them as good as a potato handles windows 10. Sometimes not even past the loading screen and you'll be greeted by a blue, black, or the screaming banshee crash as I like to call it. Or if you get 5 minutes into the game then more than likely you'll get the banshee. Also that epic 5.5 inch ips screen looks good for about a week then a nice light bleed develops right down the middle, EPIC. Asus in pursuit of excellence? More like stop producing such sheet products, what happened you used to be cool but between this and bent motherboard pins wtmf are you guys smoking?
Epic Watercooling M-Atx Case
Pros: Nearly full steel construction. Awesome airflow. Full psu shroud. 3 led fans pre-installed. Front panel fan controller and SD/Micro SD card readers. Fan filters all around. Removable drive bay bracket for full open internal design Roomy (more on that later) $39 friggin dollars. This would be in the $90-$120 range for the big name case makers.
Cons: The only thing that was a pain was yanking the front panel off those clips that hold it in place are beastly.
Overall Review: Alright so this case does not seem to advertise this but I crammed a full water cooling loop in this including a 280mm radiator up top and a 360mm radiator up front. If you just replace the front optical drive covers with vented ones it does an epic job at airflow. This bad boy has more than enough room to fit tons of things in it. All for 39 dollars? This case is awesome. Clean SSD mounts with holes on the RIGHT side so your ssd's are not upside down. I don't get why a lot of the big names cant figure that out. The PSU Shroud is full metal also and spaced perfectly to accept a radiator up-front. Who ever designed this knew what they were doing and planned everything perfectly in this. There's even a tiny space to fit Hue+ led wires on the corners of the psu shroud. Awesome! I have never heard of SAMA until this case and I am fully impressed, I hope they continue making more cases. http://i.imgur.com/YnL1gx1.jpg - If you're interested in seeing what I did with this case.
Great mouse for a small price
Pros: Works great for me when I go to work and use my laptop. Gamed with it on stuff like Diablo 2 and Overwatch worked perfect.
Cons: Nothing so far folks have complained about battery life but I've had it for about a month now on the same batteries and seems to be going strong with daily use.
Overall Review: The blue lights are cool might use more battery but when you feel like blinging it up, its a nice feature to have!
This thing is a tank.
Pros: This thing is built tonka tough. Being my first Lian-Li case I didnt really get the hype over them but now I can see why they're held up so high. The quality on this thing is top notch. This case in particular is a little odd about rad placement but with a little Dremel action I fit my dual 120mm radiator on the front no problem. I also cut the side panel to place a window and painted the inside. This case has insane mod potential I love it and if you're handy you should also ;)
Cons: These are not really cons per say but they might detract from someone who doesn't want to get their hands a little dirty. -No side window option -Not painted inside Some people might like the look of bare aluminum innards but the fact it has no window kinda makes it a non point but for me I wanna see my 2k worth of hardware smiling at me and I would of liked to have had a nice painted interior. Oh well I like painting stuff :p
Overall Review: A case this quality for this price is a steal. Get one hell get twenty jk naw but seriously might get one for the girlfriend here soon. Oh also newegg sent this to me overnight! Crazy fast shipping you guys rock!
Amazing Board
Pros: Great color scheme and extremely easy over clocking setup. This board is very approachable from new over clockers to experienced ones. Got my 4790k to 5.0ghz with no problems at all!
Cons: A couple of the fan headers and the audio plug in are in a weird location making it a little more difficult to have a completely clean and hidden wire build. Also why do motherboard manufacturers never point the front USB 3.0 headers in the outward direction so its easier to plug that connector? Not enough to dock an egg though.
Overall Review: Solid board for a solid price. This is my first time trying ASRock and I must say it has been a very good experience so far!
Awesome product pretty slow shipping.
I mean it's understandable for free shipping but it took a while to reach me. On the plus side it arrived a few days early. The product itself is tops though thank you.
