Most Favorable Review

Not a USB Host/OTG adapter!

Nippon Labs AD-USBAMCB-FM Adapter
Nippon Labs AD-USBAMCB-FM Adapter

Pros: Sturdy, light, compact, works well.

Cons: This isn't a host adapter, so it's of no use to me. I mistook it for a host adapter. Again, if you're looking for a device to let you use a mouse, keyboard, or any device of that nature with your phone, look for a host adapter and don't buy this.

Overall Review: Besides this being useless to me, it seems handy to have laying around.

Most Critical Review

DOA!

Antec earthwatts EA430 430W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.0 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Antec earthwatts EA430 430W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.0 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Well packaged, looked promising.

Cons: DOA! :(

Overall Review: I hooked up my 1kw truepower quattro from my other rig to the pc that has the DOA psu, and it worked fine. I know it has enough wattage because I have another pc with more power consuming components and it runs fine on a 400.

Beast

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This board overclocks like a beast with the new 45 nm quads. My 780i limited me at 3.6 ghz max on my Q9450, but this lets me use 4 ghz for daily use! No noisy chipset fan either!

Cons: Everything is spaced down a little bit so my video card is a bit lower than on my 780i and since its a gtx 260 I had to mod my case to fit my laing d5 pump. Also, beware because this board eats D9 chips like crazy. I'm lucky that my tracers are still going, but I am starting to notice that they are giving way.

Overall Review: Great board, but small design flaws and kills D9 ram chips.

Western Digital Blue WD6400AAKS 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Western Digital Blue WD6400AAKS 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Pros: These drives are most likely the fastest 7200 on the market. The price is just right, and they are great for any cheap raid or JBOD array.

Cons: Could be 2.5 inches.

Overall Review: Great drive, great price. Buy it.

CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply & New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply & New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Opened the box, and found the psu in a nice little baggie. Plugged the sucker in, jumped it and didn't hear anything. I thought it was off, but it was running. The fan is very silent and moves a lot of air.

Cons: Metal is a bit too thick to fit in my htpc case (had to bend the case a bit). Not modular.

Overall Review: Very nice, love it overall, runs very smooth. Corsair now has a new customer.

Simply amazing, but with some minor flaws.

Antec TruePower Quattro TPQ-1000 1000W Continuous Power ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
Antec TruePower Quattro TPQ-1000 1000W Continuous Power ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply

Pros: This is a great power supply. No problems with it so far. It runs everything I have nice and smooth. By the way dont listen to the fools saying it doesnt work with the g92 core, I am running a g92 GTS and it works fine. The modular is amazing, too.

Cons: I am not using all the cables that are fixed on there, but its not a huge problem.

Overall Review: Q6700 overclocked to 4 ghz on water, 4 150 gig raptor X's in raid 0+1, h20-220 water cooler, 4 gigs tracers ram @ 1200 mhz, 8800 GTS g92 @ 850 core, 2k mem, 1100 bus. Runs my system fine with no troubles at all.
