Most Favorable Review

Performance vs. Price

SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100363L
SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100363L

Pros: Without overclocking runs BF4 on Ultra @ 1920x1200, 58 FPS Good Price point compared to competitors Quiet(compared to my old Sapphire 4870) Runs about average temperature 45 Degrees Idle & 69 Degrees full load during BF4

Cons: The Beta drivers aren't the best, so things can only get better as they develop them.

Overall Review: Hopefully, this card will last me as long as my last Sapphire card did. Upgraded from an old 4870, so my improvements are quite clear. This card holds a good edge on the Price vs. Performance front. Some crashes on BF4, but people all over are experiencing this issue. Fixed mine but not overclocking this card. Works fine in other games.

No Noticeable Difference

Seagate Desktop SSHD ST1000DX001 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Solid State Hybrid Drive Bare Drive
Seagate Desktop SSHD ST1000DX001 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Solid State Hybrid Drive Bare Drive

Pros: It works

Cons: No faster than a normal 7200 RPM HDD

Overall Review: I bought two of these(one 1TB and one 2 TB) after reading a few tech articles saying they saw an increase in Drive speed, compared to a normal 7200RPM drive. Unfortunately, I saw different results. There was no noticeable speed boost. I rebooted several times and nothing. 3 months down the road, I'm pleased that I at least have working hard drives.

Sony Quality

Sony 40" 1080P Direct LED HDTV - KDL-40R450A
Sony 40" 1080P Direct LED HDTV - KDL-40R450A

Pros: The picture is great! Upgraded from a smaller Samsung and this new TV fills my TV space. Samsung is usually my goto, but the Black friday ads for the 40" Samsung are priced higher($379~399)than this sony 40"($329.99). So I took a leap of faith. The speakers are good for stock speakers, it's lightweight, and it's effectively a 120hz with motionflow on(for those of you that it matters to). The quality of the Picture is great! Comparable to Samsung, if not better.

Cons: It doesn't make me a sandwich when I want it to.

Overall Review: In the end, it was worth it. Newegg packaged the TV properly(something that doesn't always happen) and it arrived promptly. So, want a great TV for a great price? Grab this now while it's still $329.99.

Great for the price

DIYPC Adventurer-9601G Black/Green Steel Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with 5 x 120mm Green Fan and 1 x USB3.0
DIYPC Adventurer-9601G Black/Green Steel Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with 5 x 120mm Green Fan and 1 x USB3.0

Pros: *Airflow *Features - USB 3.0, Fan control, Nice cable management, Hard drive slots.

Cons: *Not a Full Tower, but bigger than a Mid. It's kind of an in between tower.

Overall Review: Overall, a really good tower, but space could be limited with some bigger video cards. If you're just looking for an extra inch or two upgrade internally, then it's a great deal. Almost Full tower space for a mid tower price is the bottom line.

Great Deal

AMD FX-6300 - FX-6000 Series Vishera 6-Core 3.5 GHz Socket AM3+ 95W Desktop Processor - FD6300WMHKBOX

Pros: Runs extremely cool. I overclocked to 4.0ghz and it runs about 33.4 degrees at 80% load and 20 degrees at idle. It's been kind of hard to max it out so far.

Cons: Doesn't make me bacon pancakes.

Overall Review: I don't know how cool it runs with stock cooler. I used Cooler Master 212 Plus for cooling.

Great Bag

PENTAX 85120 DSLR Sling Bag
PENTAX 85120 DSLR Sling Bag

Pros: Great Bag for most types of Photographers. Plenty of space for 3-4 lenses, Camera body, and few other essentials. You can rearrange the way it's set-up. So if you don't like it, then you can change it. My 300mm and 35mm lens fit in will with room to spare. Easy access and comfortable fit.

Cons: The only thing I could see a problem with is if you travel really tech heavy. For instance sports photographers. The lens usually used for that wouldn't really fit so well. You could fit one big telescopic lens in there and the camera body.

Overall Review: Great bag for the amateur/hobbyist/ or some professional photographer. Durable and has treated me well so far.
