This SSD is insanely fast

Pros: - The advertised read speeds are real - BIOS picked it up immediately, AHCI config was a breeze - Cheap
Cons: - None, not even the write speed
Overall Review: First of all, let me say I'm used to SSD. I work with a T5500 Dell packing 2 Intel 6-cores processors and 2 SSD's. I use it for simulations where fast data acess/write is crucial and often the bottleneck. Needless to say, SSD make a huge difference and we are always looking for the fastest SSD possible. So when I saw this crucial going for $99 I just had to give it a shot and it delivers. I got 1 for my personal computer, getting read speeds around 347mb/s and my "eye" bench test tells me this would go well against most if not all the SSD I ever used. Sure, writing stuff is slower but for a personal pc I just don't see that much difference. At work I'm sure we would drop this, but at home where opening browser, apps, games etc is the norm this thing is just as fast as anything I ever saw at 5x the price. For $99 this was a steal.
Completely useless

Pros: Absolutely none, it never worked
Cons: - Could not change password - could not connect to any of the 3 networks I tried (2 secured, 1 open) - the famous "unable to..." message shows at almost every step
Overall Review: I bought this at $20. Every time you see these 50% off deals you know something is up. The quality control is atrocious. Whenever you see the problem being software/firmware related it is a clear sign that basic quality checks are simply not in place. Don't bother replying to this review, I have no interest in RMAing a $20 purchase or even trying another product by this company. Ridiculous experience
Quality Motherboard

Pros: - Great price point - Easy setup - Great BIOS - Very fast BIOS boot - All sata 3 ports, loaded with features
Cons: None so far
Overall Review: I am quite satisfied with this board, this is no doubt a quality product. Everything was setup in no time. I have 2 ssds and 1 regular drive. Once AHCI was enabled got all SSDs at their reported max read speed. Everything runs stable, not a single BSOD, random restart or instability whatsoever. This is my 1st ASrock product and I have to say that so far, I am thoroughly impressed particularly when you factor in the competitive pricing.
A monster that will eat any game you throw at it

Pros: - Fast - Fast - Handles anything in really high specs - Flash to 6970 (didn't do it yet, didn't really need it, but it's cakewalk if the guides around the web are any close) - Can be used as a personal defense weapon
Cons: - Can run hot when under really heavy load
Overall Review: This thing is not a nice board, it is a beast, it is huge (be sure to measure at least 12in in your case before getting any ideas), but it will eat any game alive and not even spit out the bones. It handles anything at 1080p and still get very respectable fps. Crossfiring 2 of these is complete overkill for the current game environment.
Great all around PSU with TONS of connections

Pros: - A LOT of connections (seriously, just can't emphasize how many there are, WAY more than you will ever need) - Good build quality - Really quiet fan
Cons: - At this point nothing really
Overall Review: Got myself a bunch of stuff from Newegg and spent the better part of yesterday setting it up. Got the PSU out of the velvet bag (yeah, I know) and set it up in no time. Fits great and does its job
