BAMF!
Pros: What can I say, it is a genuine Microsoft controller. It comes with a regular AA battery pack along with the rechargeable, so you can enjoy the controller, even if you just got it because it was red. Speaking of which, it looks so cool! You cannot really appreciate this controller from the picture Newegg gives you. What you can't see is that it has a black trim peice on top, with a red connect button poking through, the two bumpers and the two triggers are black, and the trime peice on the bottom is black, along with the joysticks and d-pad. Speaking of the d-pad, it is a real step up from the stock controller, it is a lot stiffer, it doesn't give you that all-over feel that the stock controller does. The play and charge is also very helpful. Xbox 360 controllers can really burn through those AA's, and this controller can be plugged into your 360 and it conveniently rcharges your battery while playing, and it has a very long cable, 9 feet.
Cons: I'm not really sure if this is my headset or the controller, but ther is a very loud echo that I started to hear once I got the controller. I have not tried the headset on any other controllers, so I'm not positive either way. But, it doesn't really matter that much, since it only lasts for about 30 seconds or so.
Overall Review: Overall, a great controller with a very stylish look. %100 recommended even if you already have 2+ controllers.
ok
Pros: looks cool, has some pretty cool neon lights, AA battery charger, charges 2 Wii Motes at a time
Cons: battery life is about 1 1/2 hours, only has 2 charging slots, cannot charge AAs and wiimotes at the same time
Overall Review: the battery , life is so little that i have given up on it
Beats Killers
Pros: Heavy, heavy bass, very rich and detailed, especially for cans with such great portability. Mids are great, but can get drowned out a little by the bass, although the bass really helps to enhance the lower mids. Treble is present and accounted for, it does not stick out very much, as most of your attention is drawn to the mids and bass, but when it comes up, the treble is very good. Overall, the sound quality is fantastic, about as good as I have ever heard in a portable headphone. The leatherette earpads and band are extremely comfortable, offering amazing isolation while keeping your ears cool.
Cons: The plastic material used for the headphone does not warrant a ton of confidence, but it is much better than Beats. The bass can get a little out of hand, but with a bit of EQ that can get cleaned right up.
Overall Review: These are right in the same category as Beats by Dre. They are portable headphones just over $200, with a very flashy design (personally I love the look). They are a basshead's dream; again why they are in competition with Beats, but that is not to say they aren't great all around headphones. The carbon fiber on the ear cups is a great aesthetic touch. Also remember that these are meant to be portable headphones, so they fold up very nicely into their included carrying case, and they are driven quite easily directly from a source (iPod, Zune, computer, etc.), but amping them does help. Anyway, if your are thinking about getting some Beats, stop immediately and buy these instead. Also, if you just like your music to sound great, again, buy these. I can't recommend these headphones heavily enough. And, oh yeah, buy them.
Awesome
Pros: I love this drive, it is quiet, fast, and reliable.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I have bought three of them for three different computers, they are just great.
A few itty bitty issues
Pros: This is a fantastic motherboard, it has a huge amount of overclocking options, as well as a fairly decent overclocking software (although IMO software overclocking will never match BIOS overclocking). It is a ridiculously stable motherboard.
Cons: My first one would lock up after about 1 minute of anything, and I could not run MemTest or even install Windows. It had to be RMAed, but this is such a great motherboard, I only took off one egg. Also, this motherboard stopped me from buying a second GTX 470 for SLI. With the 470's high temps, you cannot put them side by side on air, but you would need an eighth expansion slot to utilize the third PCI Express 2.0 slot on this board, since the heatsink already takes up the first expansion slot. I don't see why they could not have moved the PCI Express 2.0s up one slot and everything else down one slot. This issue effectively stops anyone from using Tri-SLI unless they have eight expansion slots, which very few people do. It's just hard for me to wrap my head around why that they would make the bottom half of the third video card actually require an eighth expansion slot, when those are as uncommon as they are.
Overall Review: I feel that this is a great board, and the PCI slot placement issue was a big lapse in judgement by ASUS, if they had either shortened their (massive) heatsink, or moved the slots around, it could have been easily avoided. Also the RMA issue was not a big deal for me, since NewEgg has the greatest customer service ANYWHERE.
Fantabulous
Pros: All I can say is... wow. I have owned this PSU for more than a year now, and it has stood rock solid the entire time. It has plenty of power, fairly quiet, not the loudest part in my system (that would be my Corsair H50). Extremely durable. I cannot say enough good things about this power supply.
Cons: Lots of cables, but that was obviously expected from the pictures, nothing bad enough to subtract an egg.
Overall Review: To all of those people saying that it is not modular, you have to remember that you had opportunities to look at pictures, reviews, and descriptions of this before buying. System: EVGA GTX 470 ASUS P6X58D Premium Intel Core i7 930 3 x 2GB Corsair DDR3 1600
