Pros: Bullet proof. Reliable Been in the same build from July 2010.

Cons: The price has doubled in the last 5 years.

Overall Review: I am perfectly happy with the drive and the quality. I just hope when I purchase the new version of this one it runs just a strong into the next decade.

Most Critical Review

Not what was expected

CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra 2140 Desktop PC AMD FX-Series FX-6300 (3.50 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GT 730 2 GB 8 GB DDR3 500 GB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit

Pros: Good processor, good case. I can say that as far as a computer to surf the net it's great. If you want something more you need to really delve into the specs. Great price if you're getting one for grandma to do her xmas recipes with. Otherwise pass.

Cons: This computer is only related to a gaming computer if you play facebook apps. I bought it thinking it would make a good base for a gaming computer by upgrading the ram and putting in a higher end video card. The power supply doesn't have the any connectors to plug in a decent card. There are only enough to run what drives that are in it with maybe daisy chaining from teh two molex connectors that are there. It's only PCI-e 1x with no option on the board for a PCI-e 16x card. Fans are noisy and loud. I'd say the hd is mediocre at best.

Overall Review: Yeah probably will go back to building my own this way I know what is in it and can pick my parts for future upgradiblility. Bought alot of things from New Egg and can say this is the first time I've been this disappointed even on a sale item.

Great fidelity and the mic is crystal clear

Pros: The headphones themselves are sturdy enough for everyday use. The microphone is clear and relatively noise free. I've played hundreds of hours of music through mine and i don't see much difference between these and a set costing more than 2x as much. A little more than 3 years on my first two sets and no signs of stopping anytime soon. The length of the cord is the one thing that kept me coming back for more. You can actually move away from your desk without jerking the connections from the back or front. Just be careful you keep the slack out of the floor or you will run over it. LOL

Cons: It will pick up television voices on occasion if the set is in the same room. Not really a con with a noise cancelling mic since the microphone has to be sensitive enough to pick up the same frequencies in you voice.

Overall Review: The microphone cord isn't cat proof. My gf's cat chewed the end off and now it's time to think about a new set or a new cat or both. :)

OUTSTANDING CARD!

Pros: This card is the bomb! Very quite, fits in my mid tower nicely with room to spare. I've been using this since before last Christmas and haven't had any issues so far. I've run borderlands 2 and assassin's creed @ on ultra settings with no noticable lag in frame rates. I've played on the pc using this card for 10 hours at a time and still haven't noticed any heat issues. It's quieter than my case fans.

Cons: it didn't install itself

Overall Review: I'd recommend again especially if it comes with more games. (bought mine with the deal for free borderlands 2 and assassin's creed 3)

What more can you want???

Antec Sonata III 500 Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply

Pros: Had this since November of last year and it works perfectly. Quite and cool! did buy another 120mm fan to go in it and have never had an issue. Even installed a GX2 video card in it and with a thin fan worked perfectly. The 500 watt power supply is great but if you want to run a heavy duty video card get a bigger supply. Did I say it was quiet ... This thing is more silent than my external hard drive once it's all put together. Yes the front door is plastic but it's not the cheapo stuff from other manufactures. It has lots of rolled steel and no sharp edges I've found. The blue lights on the front plus the USB, ESATA and Headset plugs are way cool! The removable trays for the hd's are perfect as well as side mounted. Came with plenty of screws to mount more than one. The black finish is to perfection almost ... Makes your desk look so radddd! LOL

Cons: It didn't install the hardware for me.

Overall Review: It has room to spare for most video cards and all power supplies I've tried fit well in it. No problems with heat even using a way hot video card if you get the extra fan in there.

This thing ROCKS!

Pros: Connected to my ASUS RT-N16 Router with 2 Button clicks using the supplied drivers and Utility software on the CD. Great connection strentgh. It gave my older XP systems new life without installing another LAN card to use instead of the cr** onboard LAN that came with the systems. I speed tested it and was getting 12 Mbps down and 2.85 up speeds through Comcast's own speed test web site. Before I was getting 5 download and 1 up with the original equipment.

Cons: Don't know of any yet until it's been in use a while but so far so good.

Overall Review: Can't tell you about Win7 systems I have 10/100/1000 LAN on my main computer. But for breathing new life into an older system this might be an inexpensive and more novice way for someone to get a good speed increase without opening up their box.
