Incredible

SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III 32 layer 3D V-NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E500B/AM
SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB SATA III 32 layer 3D V-NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E500B/AM

Pros: Easy to install. Easy for cloning. fast

Cons: None at this point

Overall Review: New build and has been some time since last build. I messed up big time by installing 32 bit windows by mistake, formatted drive to change to 64bit and computer would not recognize the ssd. Read all the reviews that said I couldn't even use it as a door stop. Thought through the process, used a second drive to install windows 8, used the cloning software to clone the new drive. It worked perfectly. Yes I am very satisfied with this drive, the software and newegg.

Most Critical Review

Look like DOA but still checking

MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Board looks great and easy to install.

Cons: Just received case and installed board with new corsair 650 power supply. Board would not light up. Replaced power supply with Corsair 750 and board still would not light up. Checked all part to make sure of good connections but still no start up. I have a new case coming Wed. to see if that is the problem. Will review again after I get it running.

Overall Review: I have used several MSI and Asus board in the past. First DOA so I am due.

Impressed

LG 34UM64-P 34" Quad HD 2560 x 1080 2K Resolution 60Hz DVI-D 2xHDMI DisplayPort 4-Screen Split Flicker-Safe Built-in Speakers UltraWide LED Backlit IPS Monitor
LG 34UM64-P 34" Quad HD 2560 x 1080 2K Resolution 60Hz DVI-D 2xHDMI DisplayPort 4-Screen Split Flicker-Safe Built-in Speakers UltraWide LED Backlit IPS Monitor

Pros: Only had it one day but already love it. Split screen is wonderful, even better than I thought. The 21.9 wide screen is everything advertised. The wide screen is huge but don't look over powering in the room. The picture is color perfect. Screen management is easy and quick. I looked at the curved screen models but decided on the straight screen for editing pictures. I don't do gaming but will probably get one just to see how well it performs.

Cons: The guide on Using Product Functions is brief but if you take your time you can figure it out. This particular monitor was no longer in LG's download list but I used the closest products #'s for driver updates and it worked.

Overall Review: If I could do over I would look on LG website before I ordered to make sure that downloads were available for the particular item I was ordering. I haven't tried dual link up monitors yet but that will be the next thing to try.

Plenty of power

Pros: QUITE, use what wiring you need and park the rest, feels top quality.

Cons: none

Overall Review: A great power supply from a great company. I can't even tell it is refurbished.

White lite

ENERMAX iVektor ECA3310A-W White (Soft touch coating) ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
ENERMAX iVektor ECA3310A-W White (Soft touch coating) ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Really good plastic box, well designed and heavy duty enough to put together components easy. Hesitated to buy because I was not familiar with name brand. Wanted white for my build, took the chance and I am very glad i did. For my use i like the two speed fan switch. Low keeps the temp down and the machine it totally silent.

Cons: none

Overall Review: My build: Ivektor white case, Asus Z97S motherboard, Intel G3450 processor, 8gig Corsair Vengeance 2400, Corsair RM series 650 power supply, Samsung SSd 850 500gig EVO. I am not a gamer and it had been a while since my last build. Took around an hour to assemble and start loading Windows 8. By mistake I load 32 bit windows instead of 64 bit windows. Took me the rest of the day and part of the next to format the SSD drive and figure out how to get the computer to re-find it and load Windows 8 64 bit. I learned a lot and i don't fear formatting a SSd any longer. In my opinion Samsung has great cloning software. I placed a fresh windows 8 64 bit install on another drive and cloned it to the ssd drive. My system started up and continues to perform with unbelievable speed and stability and I can't hear it run.

New with old

Pros: Worked excellent right out of box with no driver issues.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I bought a new corsair graphite series case and needed 19 pin connection for 3.0 front case usb. I had an older Asus motherboard but it worked perfectly.
