Most Favorable Review

Entry-level HOTAS with no entry-level cons

Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick (PS3 & PC)
Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick (PS3 & PC)

Pros: If you think you need a HOTAS but dont need one to match you authentic cockpit-themed computer setup, or just feel the need to shell out several hundred dollars, then this one is for you.

Cons: a bit too light and therefore easily tilted off of desk

Overall Review: Could use more buttons

Most Critical Review

DO NOT BUY for VIDEO CARD

1x  4 Pin Molex to 6 Pin PCI-E Power Adapter Converter Graphics Card Cable
1x 4 Pin Molex to 6 Pin PCI-E Power Adapter Converter Graphics Card Cable

Pros: Cheap, uses a single Molex adapter, but that is the problem.

Cons: Cheap make, connector came right off the wires. Not suitable for Graphics Cards (contrary to what the seller states) because this will be running half of the required power from one line, if not more. For example, if you have a PCI-E Graphics Card that requires 2 6-pin power connectors, you can use two of these as I did, and you can also fry your Power Supply, as I did. There is a reason that the Molex-to 6-pin PCI adapters that the video card makers send out is actually 2 molex to one 6-pin. You are supposed to run those off of separate runs or "bundles" of wire, not off the same one. Luckily I only fried the PSU, not anything else, but upon disconnecting the GPU one of the two cables I bought disconnected from the head with very little force, the other cable did not. You have been warned!!!

Overall Review: Do your self a favor and just buy a 30 dollar Power Supply with PCI-E power connectors and avoid frying your system.

Mucho Bang for Buck

AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W FD8350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor
AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W FD8350FRHKBOX Desktop Processor

Pros: Works fine with the cheap GIGABYTE GA-78LMT Mobo. Was an excellent upgrade for my second computer. increased the speeds by at least 300% (was using an AMD A4-3400 Llano Dual-Core 2.7GHz Socket FM1). You cant beat the performance per price, at least not in this price range.

Cons: It doesnt make coffee

Cheap and has not yet Blown Up

LOGISYS Computer PS480E12 480 W ATX12V Power Supply
LOGISYS Computer PS480E12 480 W ATX12V Power Supply

Pros: This PSU is right up my alley. Dont expect to get glowing power cords or even modular ones. It comes with just about the most basic amount of wiring that it can come with, so if you have a power-hungry GPU or other another configuration that is not standard (like several hard drives) then make sure to check that it has the right number or connections for your needs.

Cons: none

Awesome for the price, but.......

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2978-KR 4GB FTW GAMING w/ACX 2.0, Silent Cooling Graphics Card
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2978-KR 4GB FTW GAMING w/ACX 2.0, Silent Cooling Graphics Card

Pros: you really cant beat the value of this card. I was able to run just about every game with max settings I came across with my old GTX 670 2GB @ 1080p with 30-80 frames, but this puppy runs them at 60-120, but with double the resolution!

Cons: ....quite the scandal with the memory and a few more technicalities. Unless you plan on really pushing this beast to its limits, I dont think you should worry, but it is worth reading up about. I am sure you wont have to look far before you find out about the memory only being a true 3.5GB with an additional .5GB as reserve, and the lawsiut ensuing.

Overall Review: Would be nice for this card to go down in price due to that misleading memory labeling.

Good Customer Service, Cheap Quality

Had one of the cables I bought from them come apart very easily, and potentially was the reason why my PSU fried.
