Great company

XIGMATEK FCB (Fluid Circulative Bearing) Cooling System XLF-F1254 120mm White LED Black Case Fan PSU Molex Adapter/extender included
XIGMATEK FCB (Fluid Circulative Bearing) Cooling System XLF-F1254 120mm White LED Black Case Fan PSU Molex Adapter/extender included

Pros: This fan is great for what it does. Low noise, good air throughput, well constructed. The light is not over-poweringly bright, but at a good level to draw attention but not blind on-lookers.

Cons: The 4 pin molex to 3 pin fan connectors are kind of long and take up a bit of space, if you are trying to keep cables neat they may cause an issue if you cannot find a good place to stash them.

Overall Review: I've bought 3 of these fans, and 3 of the 140mm and they all came out of the box perfect. Going to buy the dark knight cooler as well after seeing the reviews and how well these fans perform.

Pros: It's available at a decent price. It comes with a ssd cooler for gen 5 ssds

Cons: it's giant, make sure you can fit it in your case

Overall Review: This review for ASRock review rebate program.

Great display for the price

Asus VG248QE 24" Full HD 1920x1080 144Hz 1ms HDMI DVI-D DisplayPort 3D Vision Ready Built-in Speakers Gaming Monitor

Pros: Height adjustable, swivel, dvi, hdmi, displayport. Everything you need. Great at 144 hz for fps, price was low. No dead or stuck pixels. Bought two and glad I did.

Cons: Doesn't include a display port cable, make sure you buy one for best results.

Hit or Miss

XFX Radeon RX 480 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card RX480M8BFA6

Pros: Was a nice upgrade from my 280x Doesn't draw that much power

Cons: Pushes out a lot of heat gets loud when gaming 50% failure rate for me

Overall Review: I bought two of these, one works fine. The other causes any system it's in to be unstable. I'm going to keep the one that works, and goto a different company for the second if Newegg will process a refund.

Works great

Pros: Works great, quick, just as expected. Faster than my single SSD. Works fine in a x16 pci-e slot, but my motherboard lowers all my slots to x8 when more than one card installed.

Cons: Not a con with the card, but some motherboards may lower your gpu slot from x16 to x8, this doesn't really impact performance at all with anything up to a GTX Titan though.

Low cost, good performance

AMD Athlon II X2 240 - Athlon II X2 Regor Dual-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM3 65W Processor - ADX240OCGQBOX
AMD Athlon II X2 240 - Athlon II X2 Regor Dual-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM3 65W Processor - ADX240OCGQBOX

Pros: Good procesor works as advertised, low power low heat.

Cons: The L2 cache is a bit smaller than i'd perfer but for the price it's not a huge problem. Runs very cool (5-10 above ambient) even with the stock HSF.

Overall Review: I bought this to replace a failing e6600 SFF computer and so far it seems to keep up with everything the old computer did, put off a bit less heat, and give higher framerates in casual gaming.
