Must read! Very important.

Pros: Quiet, can play anything. BF3 on ultra, every game just crush is it.
Cons: It is not the gtx 680, but why pay for the 680 when there are not any games out there that can take advantage of it? Buy this card if you want bf3 on ultra don't be like me and pay for 2 gtx 560tis with only 1gb of video memory.
Overall Review: Ok, here is my story. I had the gtx560ti top with 1gb of video memory with i7 920 oc to 3.5. I love BF3 and i was only able to get smooth game play on high. at 1920 by 1080 with V-sync on. Ultra high looked nice but it was not playable. I then went head and ordered another one at 1gb memory and tried bf3. To my disappointment i was still not able to get smooth frames on ultra. Yes i would crush any game besides bf3 like crisys 2. But what was the point. Even a single gtx 560 ti would get smooth gameplay on crisys 2 and other games. I then did my research on line and some people mention that it was the video memory that kept me from getting smooth frames on ultra. I then diced to buy this single gtx560 ti with 2gm of video memory and after trying it out today i can tell you with a smile on my face that it worked. I get smooth game play in ultra setting with everything on including v-sync at 1920 by 1080 with very playable frame rates. And now i will be selling my other 2 cards.
Solid.

Pros: The only good that i can think about this is that it has a solid corsair build quality and is watered cooled.
Cons: The stock fans are really loud, i counter this by buying noctua fans. Noctua made a huge leap in noise level, how ever i had to buy these separately and now im stuck with stock fans that came with the cooler.
Overall Review: I gave this 3 eggs over all. It did not cool my cpu like i hoped for. I can try chaining the direction of the air flow from outside to inside the case but i don't want to get dust inside. I had the zalman air cooling solution before this that did a much better job. At this point i cannot even overclock the cpu because by temps on load are 55C. Maybe its because i have the corsair 550d case. Anyway the only thing i get out of this purchase was a much quieter computer after i bought the noctua fans. There fore i can only give it 3 eggs. Maybe you will have a different experience if you have a different case with more airflow.
PC case of the year!

Pros: The look and feel of this case is amazing. Nothing feels cheap or flimsy. The magnetic dust grills make it super easy to clean. The panels open with the push of one button. It's not as big or monstrous like other cases. Other cases look like burly monstrous obnoxious hideous thinks. This case is a sleek Armani suit look.
Cons: It could have helped if it was an inch taller. I installed an asus rampage 3 motherboard and i had to made modifications to the sata 2 cables because how the motherboard sinks in to the case. How ever the rampage 3 extreme was built with huge cases in mind and they made the board bigger. I don't think that credits a one egg loss. Air flow is as good as other cases but keep in mind that this case is trying to become silent which does an excellent job.
Overall Review: Airflow on this case with an H80 corsair cooler is somewhat of a problem. You might want to such air from the outside and push it in but i have not tried this because i don't want dust to get inside the case. How ever nothing about this case is bad. It goes for a silent solution and it excels on this.
Great buy

Pros: It's solar! Super easy installation just place the panel on a solar surface and watch it go. Water proof. I was afraid they would get ruin with the last storm we had but they help up nicely. It comes with 3 aaa rechargeable batteries.
Cons: It's pricey, i bought em at a discount on black Friday and it was still expensive. My mom wanted some for herself so we went half on the next order.
Overall Review: Maybe some one can do the math and figure out how much will you save on the electric bill over the month of December.
Maybe not worth it.

Pros: I bought it for around $250 on black Friday. If you buy it for $350 which is the regular price is not worth it. Exterior is nice. It comes with Windows 8. 64 bit Chip.
Cons: Like the previous user i had to RMA because it stayed stuck on Bios. Its slow with the extra stuff asus installs on it. No CDRW which means installing and SSD will be a hasle. Bios does not give you very much to work with.
Overall Review: To make this work i suggest you buy it for around 250 if not. I don't think is worth it. I had to RMA mine and i am planning to install more memory. Also you have to figure out a way to pre install windows on an SSD because Bios is very limiting. If you have PC tech knowledge, a laptop for school is not bad. I suggest you keep the packaging around just in case you have to RMA
2 of these in raid 0 mode

Pros: 1 of these equals the sames speed as 2 velocirapors in raid 0. It has all the pros that SSD's come with. If you pace 2 of these in raid 0 mode you will reach remarkable speeds.
Cons: The price per hard drive space is bad.
Overall Review: You can go around the con s by having a hybrid system. Which means booting up with SSD and having a mechanical hard drive for storage like bluray movies. I myself have 2 ssds in raid 0 and 2 HDD in raid 0.
