Most Favorable Review

I love it!

Cooler Master Seidon 120V - Compact All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 120mm Radiator and Fan
Cooler Master Seidon 120V - Compact All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 120mm Radiator and Fan

Pros: It keeps my A10-6800K at 39 degrees Celsius when idle. Something no other cooler could do for me. The processor just runs hot and there's nothing I could do to keep it from reaching 50+ degrees when idle. It looks great, especially in the push-pull configuration I have it set in. Also, good price.

Cons: Hoses are a bit rigid. This made installation somewhat of a pain. But once you get the first couple of thumbscrews on the corners, it becomes much easier to handle.

Overall Review: So far it's a wonderful water cooler for the price. I'm sure there are better and more efficient ones out there, but for the price it can't be beat.

Most Critical Review

Not terrible, I guess

HyperX Gift - Watch Dogs Vouchers

Pros: It was free, some concepts in the game are cool

Cons: It just didn't live up to the hype. Not to mention the fact that they took away certain settings shown at E3 only to have them remain in the game files. But for free? I'm not complaining. I would never pay for it though.

Excellent SSD so far

Pros: It's fast. Windows 7 boots in 8 seconds tops. It's also feels like it's very good quality.

Cons: I don't have time to go get a drink before Windows boots.

Overall Review: Great SSD that I bought mainly because of the Watch Dogs offer. I probably would have bought the 120GB model if it weren't for that, but I'm actually very happy I got the extra space. It made Windows migration a breeze. I don't think the 120 GB model would have made it so easy.

It's a cable

Pros: It does its job. It's cheap w/ free shipping.

Cons: It's a bit shorter than I was expecting, but it reaches from my SSD to my SATA ports just fine, really.

Overall Review: It's a pretty standard SATA cable on the short side, but that wasn't a huge issue.

Definitely a quality case

Pros: The case is wonderful for what I need. It's a pretty standard case. Nothing too fancy, but it's a good price for what you get.

Cons: Could be a little bigger with a little more cable management space, but again you get what you pay for. It's not pricey. It's practical.
