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: Wow. very high quality in every aspect. Purchased for a new build. This is my third build and the first time I did not have a very tight budget. verstile mounting options, modular, 7 year warranty, smooth velvety bag you can't go wrong if the power is sufficient for your needs.

Cons: none that I can see

Pros: I got three of these for a 2d surround setup on my pc. They look good and have the smallest border I could find on a monitor. The touch sensitive controls are something to get used to but work fine. I didn't find a single dead pixel across three panels.

Cons: other than no vesa mount, none that I can see

Overall Review: Others have their opinions about size and such for a triple monitor setup, I personally think these are great for such a setup but with no vesa mount you need a large desk or get creative to mount these to a wall.

NZXT Phantom PHAN-001BK Black Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case
NZXT Phantom PHAN-001BK Black Steel / Plastic Enthusiast ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Wow. this is the most I have spent on a tower and this is the most I have been impressed with one. looks great, very quiet fans, rock solid construction, plenty of screws included, fan controls are cool, I just cannot say enough about this product, even the drive bay covers are solid. Definitely recommend this to anyone that wants an emormous tower. Like others have said you have to turn the box sideways, so you can get it through your door. wish i could give it six eggs

Cons: absolutely none that I can see

Overall Review: Seems to be a dust magnet, I guess its the plastic, or my house.

Intel 330 Series Maple Crest 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2CT120A3K5

Pros: It works. I am using it for OS only, boot time for Ubuntu 12.10 is about 30 seconds. Don't really know what else to say, works, no sound, very small compared to standard HDD, and affordable for what should be a very longlasting drive

Cons: none that I can see.

Pros: Great for the price. just needed a plain jane optical drive, opted for this as it was only a few dollars more than a DVD only drive. Plays Blu-ray movies through VLC in ubuntu.

Cons: none that I can see.
