Thermaltake WATER2.0 Pro Closed-Loop All In One Liquid CPU Cooler Dual 120mm PWM Fans 120x49mm Radiator CLW0216
Thermaltake WATER2.0 Pro Closed-Loop All In One Liquid CPU Cooler Dual 120mm PWM Fans 120x49mm Radiator CLW0216

Pros: My processor is nice and cool with this liquid cooling unit and I have no problem so far. The fans that comes with it are my back-up since I use what someone suggested. Just be carefull when tightening the screws and everything will be fine

Cons: Doesn't crowd too much the case, a bit hard to handle when having to make changes to the case. But I guess that's what comes with every closed loop liquid cooling.

GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Good motherboard with more than enough 3.0 USB, goes well with my blue/black PC theme.

Cons: Only trouble I have, and found out trought reading the reviews here, is that it sometimes takes more times too boot from time to time. Don't know if it's due to the environment around the PC. It's annoying to wait some time going from a minute to 5 minutes before the PC finish it's booting sequence.

Great upgrade

Creative Sound Blaster ZxR PCIe 124dB SNR Sound Card with 600ohm Headphone Amp and Desktop Audio Control Module

Pros: Easy to install in the case. Plugging everyhthing you want is easy. This card goes well with the Logitec Z906 5.1 surround sound system. Once the equalizer is customized, it runs multimedia as you want it to! Way better than onboard audio.

Cons: 1- It produces red light, if we had a choice, I would have prefered blue. That's minus a quarter of an egg. 2-The wire to plug the cards together needs to be kind of twisted. Would have been simpler to line up the plugs and provide a wire that does not need to be twisted. That's minus a quarter of an egg. 3-Programs do crashes. The updater and the registering program both stop working. That's minus half an egg. 4-It would have been fun to have a front panel bay accessory, like the Fatal1ty Champion sound card, but I guess the desing wasn't open for that. Maybe next time.

Overall Review: This is a message for all of those who said the card was not fit for multimedia. Either customize the equalizer to your liking or stop overboosting the bass. It does do multimedia and works more than fine. Now, for those that designed the card, add a choice for the light the card produce and a front panel bay accessory similar to the Fatal1ty Champion sound card for the next generation please. If I had to build a second PC, I would go with this sound card.

Pros: Great CPU, does the things needed without trouble. Don't need to overclock and runs smoothly.

Cons: Do I really need to write something here?

Pros: Nice tower, full of space, more than enough air flow and has a nice style. I would recommend this case if you plan to show off to your friends. You can get a great blue and black effect in the case, which makes a great effect.

Cons: Front fan is noisy, but that might just be me since I changed almost all the fans in the case.

NuGiant NSS05 Galaxy Power Surge Strip
NuGiant NSS05 Galaxy Power Surge Strip

Pros: I needed a new power strip for my PC due to lack of of plugs and this one does the job.

Cons: The green leds are annoying at night and the led for the ground light doesn't light up. It's plugged on a new power outlet changed during the year, the ground is functionning in the whole house, so I don't know why it would say that there's no ground. So an egg of because of that.

Overall Review: It's nice and handy, but unfit if your bedroom and your study are the same room.
