Most Favorable Review
ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: -Crossfire, although only 8-8 -Looks nice -Overall, a great mobo

Cons: -Brown color, would have preferred black -Only 2 internal USB ports. Might have to use a splitter of some sort. -The motherboard's heatsink (one with the logo) got in the way of my aftermarket CPU cooler (CM Hyper 212), so had to reposition it facing upwards (which was fine, 200mm fan on top)

Most Critical Review

DIED AFTER 1 MONTH

MSI Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card R5770 Hawk

Pros: Worked for a month

Cons: After a month, it started showing all the black pixels as green. It's probably going to die soon. Monitor is working perfectly.

LG 22" LCD Monitor 5 ms 1920 x 1080 D-Sub, DVI-D W2240T-PN

Pros: none

Cons: -cheap stand -died after 1 month, numerous pixels became stuck I've learned that LG is a terrible brand. Biggest mistake and I don't even think I can return it. Also, after I complained to Newegg, they lowered the price by $10. HAHAHAHA.

Pros: -It's a decent screen

Cons: -Cheap plastic stand, can't adjust. Makes the screen pretty wobbly. -Drivers CD didn't work (on Windows 7) -Max resolution for me was 1400x1050 -No HDMI port -Lied about the size. It's 21.5" diagonal, not 22"

CM Storm Sniper - Gaming Mid Tower Computer Case with Fan Controller and LED Light Switch
CM Storm Sniper - Gaming Mid Tower Computer Case with Fan Controller and LED Light Switch

Pros: -Lots of room -LED/Fan Control is great -Very sleek, nice looking, all black -Handles -Keeps hardware cool -Fans are VERY quiet on low setting, barely audible on high.

Cons: -Front fan came attached by only 2 screws, wasn't too much of a problem though. -Bottom 2 expansion bay clips on the inside were flimsy, partially broke after a while, but still functional. -Kind of big for a mid-tower, but this should already be known
