ASUS Rampage IV Extreme

ASUS Rampage IV Extreme LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Rampage IV Extreme LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Tons of options up to 64gb's of ram a bit overboard but if you wanted to waste that much money. Very appealing for a black colored case but looks really good in white too. Supports triple SLI configuration, and really is awesome for watercooling loop you can literally cool this entire board! plus everything else easily nowadays...

Cons: Nothing much except maybe different config of certain plugs like 3 and 4 pin fan plugs are setup kind of weird thats about it great board you get what you pay for hands down!!!

Overall Review: Cheapest girlfriend ever she never complains

MQbix White MQHT560WHT-L Circumaural EarFoam Palette High Performance Headphones with Mic
MQbix White MQHT560WHT-L Circumaural EarFoam Palette High Performance Headphones with Mic

Pros: Decent headphones for the price sound quality is comparable to Beats and or Bose but not there obviously....

Cons: Sound leaks from outside others can hear the music or conversation. Also I purchased these for my girlfriend in black and she has had problems with the microphone not working and same thing with the sound leaking.

Overall Review: Wouldn't buy more but I'm satisfied for daily music and skyping.

Thermaltake Toughpower Grand TPG-1050M 1050 W ATX 12V v2.3 & SSI EPS 12V v2.92 SLI Certified CrossFire Certified 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: This would be decent in modular versions which I believe is now offered by Thermaltake...but not dependable considering the price tag...

Cons: Had to RMA twice now first one failed out of the box and now 2 years later...the things is humming under a videogame load. This should not happen especially considering how new it still is and pricepoint. I will not buy another one of their power supplies I will try Corsair or another manufacturer.

Pros: Very comfortable for larger hands I have long finers and this mouse is perfect minus one thing I dont like the scroll wheel feels awkward when scrolling...minus 1 egg for that sorry Roccat fix it..haven't tried the software but wow is this mouse comfortable.

Cons: Scroll wheel is hard to use

NEW NZXT H440 STEEL Mid Tower Case. Next Generation 5.25-less Design. Include 4 x 2nd Gen FNv2 Fans, High-End WC support, USB3.0, White/Black

Pros: They seemed to improve from the switch 810 which I also own...They added the option of hiding the power supply from view...Better feet for standing on ground or desktop...improved dust filters...

Cons: Where to begin...its pretty ugly compared to the Switch 810 IMO...also cheap filters and not much of a difference wire management is still horrible and the holes with rubber on the inside are horrible for routing wires in and out...such a pain instead of a tiny hole...they made huge ones very disappointing. This company is facing a lot of competition from Silverstone/Caselabs/Corsair that have engineers and customers involved in R&D .

Pros: This case has good intentions for both AIR/WC options for all enthusiasts. Cool color Black and White finish looks clean. They came out with the H440 but still needs a lot of work compared to Caselabs or Silverstone. The dust filters are decent but also far from perfect.

Cons: Where to begin....The front intake fan cover does not allow for needed inflow/take into the case which is needed to create positive pressure for airflow in and outflow/take...No fan filter on the top where most dust gets in the case...falling from in the air and landing on the components inside the case...>< this cases succesor is also a joke sorry NZXT your engineers are failing in design and implementing compared to Corsair/Caselabs/Silverstone...the tubing holes are useless since most people use acrylic now in WC. Front panel usb/audion hub is cheap and wires break easily...Finally the backside for wire mangement is a disgrace and many other cases are the same. This was one imporvement on the H440 Which I will give a 3EGG rating.
