Most Favorable Review

Solid so far

ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: I've always liked ASUS motherboards. They put out good quality stuff and if you ever have any problems their tech guys are easy to work with. Granted I only build every few years, but when I do ASUS seems to come out with new useful features with every motherboard I've purchased.

Cons: None... do your research before you try and put uncompatible stuff into it and you will never have a problem

Overall Review: Would definately buy it again

Most Critical Review

It's a fan

Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 - Sleeve Bearing 200mm Red LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases
Cooler Master MegaFlow 200 - Sleeve Bearing 200mm Red LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases

Pros: Looks great with the CM 922 Haf. It's big but there is plenty of room for it in the 922 Haf. It's a fan it does its job.

Cons: Kind of hard to get the screws to go into the plastic. There are no thread holes in the plastic. It felt as if it were going to break the whole time installing....felt like it was but DID NOT break. It was so hard getting them to go in I actually stripped the threads on the top of one of the screws trying. So 3 screws went in the 4th went 3/4 the way in. Which actually is not an issue with how it is functioning.

Overall Review: Good product. Looks good. Does its job.

First Cooler Master case

Cooler Master HAF 922 - High Air Flow Mid Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior
Cooler Master HAF 922 - High Air Flow Mid Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior

Pros: Put together really well. A lot of room for pretty much anything I wanted to do. I really like this case. It's big. It has full size features at a mid size case. I'd have to say it falls somewhere between mid and full. Very good wire management and looks great. Good air flow (I did add a 200mm fan on the side) although, depending how hard core you are it might not be needed.

Cons: none really....one of the screws on the back didn't line up 100% but it still fits good

Overall Review: First Cooler Master Case and definately not the last. I'm really glad I chose this case. Wasn't sure I was going to like the red LED but they look solid, besides you can turn them off if you want...unless you add a fan yourself

Good so far

SAMSUNG 8X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Combo Model SH-B083L/RSBP LightScribe Support
SAMSUNG 8X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Combo Model SH-B083L/RSBP LightScribe Support

Pros: Blue ray player + it's other features. Decent software comes with it. Decent spin speeds, about mid range, but good for the price.

Cons: none that I have seen

Overall Review: I would definately buy this product again

Samsung quality

SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER 2333SW High Glossy Black 23" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 20000:1 (1000:1) w/ HPCP Support
SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER 2333SW High Glossy Black 23" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 20000:1 (1000:1) w/ HPCP Support

Pros: Very good monitor. Very big monitor. Comes with DVI and D=Sub cables. Sweet picture

Cons: Samsung seems to have let the syncmasters fizzle out as far as features. I use to have a 940bw and I use to love the features on it. This series has a lot of the same features but hardly any of them work correctly if at all. Maybe it's just me or maybe it's Windows 7

Overall Review: I really do like the monitor but for the price I wish I would have just bought the 2343 BWX model

Corsair PSU is my new favorite

CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-850TX 850 W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-850TX 850 W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Very very good quality cables. Probably some of the best I've had the chance to use. It runs quiet and hasn't seemed to get hot at all.

Cons: None really pretty much hit the nail on the head

Overall Review: Nice job Corsair. Great PSU. Corsair was recommended to me by some friends and I'm really glad I went with it
