Great big case that looks nice with a ton of options for a great price!
Pros: -Tons of room to work in, hide cables, and mount many different rad sizes. -Easy to clean dust filters. -Tempered glass looks fantastic, and easy to get the panels on and off. -4 different radiator mounting options. -Looks fairly nice from the front as well.
Cons: Really can't think of any. For the price it's what I expected and very happy with it.
Overall Review: I really enjoy large cases, This one has been the biggest I've owned and though I never planned on having two systems in, Or a massive custom loop, I just wanted a large space to work in. I will admit the case can look a bit empty like this. One thing I didn't notice about the case is a RGB light bar on the top of the PSU shroud. It looks really nice, and works with Asus Aurora or whatever it is. Others too I believe. The price is really good for what all you get, And I believe it's because no fans come with it. I'm glad they didn't since I replace stock fans anyway. So saving some money was nice. The best thing about this case is the amount of options you have with it. The ability to mount a ton of SDD's, all neatly packed on the side of the case, or some cages to be placed at the bottom. It can keep the system still looking clean. Being able to mount I believe 3 radiators at once is outstanding. Though I only have one. Back behind the mother board tray, There is a good amount of room down in the PSU shroud to hide a ton of cables. I have a Corsair AX1200i in there. I don't know what else to add, It's not the most fancy case but I wanted more utility and space, and options then anything else. Highly recommend the case. Was a joy to build in it.
Works as intended.
Pros: Packaging came fine and no damage. Worked fine and was listed in bios correctly.
Cons: No con's. It was a cheaper hard drive so time will tell how long it lasts, But overall seems like a good product.
Overall Review: If you need a cheap hard drive this is worth a look.
Love the card!
Pros: Waited 2 months for this card to come in stock. And over a year for them to be announced. I switched from eVGA 3 years ago to Asus after having great luck on their mother boards. Had a Asus 970 prior to this card and the upgrade is wonderful as you might guess. The card itself looks amazing. Like others state its big! And I too had to remove a fan from my Antec 1200 case to fit it. Out of the box OC Mode pushes the card to 2,101 MHz. So I'm very happy with that. I play all games now at 4K, And mostly all maxed out. Frames range around 40 - 60 fps.
Cons: Biggest con for me is GPU Tweak. Asus really needs to step up their game. Coming from MSI Afterburner (just to get oc mode) I'm VERY disappointed in the options you get. No OSD? That's just silly. Also can't seem to set my own fan curves with OC mode. Temps are allowed to get to 76C max. (Still fine but to hot for me.) This maybe in part to my limited knowledge on this program. So maybe not a con for others. Also as others mentioned, Drivers crash often for me. In games such as Ark, The Division, And GTA 5. I'm hoping it's just the drivers and need new ones over time. Really will be sad if it's the card. :( Need to do more testing. I can benchmark 3DMark without issue.
Overall Review: Asus did great. Very happy besides drivers crashing and GPU Tweak. 5 Stars for now! However Newegg only get's 1 star for being greedy and jacking up the price 40$ that I could have spent on extended protection! CPU: Core i7 3930k (4.5 Ghz) With 32 Gigs of Corsair DDR Vengeance ram (1685Mhz). Can only see a slight bottleneck in benchmarking score wise. Nothing major. I'll update my review if I can't seem to fix driver crash issues. Highly recommend this card though so far.
Wonderful mouse!
Pros: Great feel to the mouse, A wonderful area for your thumb to rest easily. The buttons on the mouse have a great feeling to them. You can define which one is where by feeling. Scroll wheel has a great heavy feeling to it. And can push it down easy. The logitech software is not only user friendly but easy and quick to use and program your needs. You can switch between wired and wireless easy, Only a few seconds down time.
Cons: Really the only con I can think of that has to do with the mouse itself and not my own preference is the wired cord to plug the mouse in. While it's quick and easy to do. Gaming while using it can be alittle awkward. It doesn't bend well at all and makes you put alittle more force in moving the mouse when the cord is in the way. If the cord had way more flexibility to it, That would be perfect.
Overall Review: Only other preference related con I have is I'd liked to have had the mouse alittle wider. I can't place 3 fingers on it very comfortably. But again just my preference! Not really a con. I've owned Razor mice, To many other brands and I got to say, Logitech has always had the BEST mice in my opinion. They last the longest and work the best. I play all kinds of games, From that really bad BF4 game, To RTS games, Down to Diablo, And SWTOR. Works great for anything.
Great for the price!
Pros: Sounds fairly well for the price, Easy to plug and play. Looks pretty neat too! Long USB cord.
Cons: Doesn't block out as much background noise as I had hoped but still does great! The Red light when plugged in (even if computer is off) stays on and is bright. Very annoying.
Overall Review: This isn't a con, Because the mic itself is a good quality but the stand as stated elsewhere is cheap. HOWEVER it works FINE! Overall if the price is right it's a great mic to have.
I got lucky!
Pros: I got lucky! With soooo many bad reviews of DOA boards from ALL brands this board came in perfect shape and worked right out of the box. It's a very nice styled board! With a great bios! Easy over clocking settings for newbies or people who are alittle worried with doing it. An a lot of advanced features for the price. I looked at a ton of boards and the Asus caught my eye. Overall I'm VERY happy with the board. Runs very cool around 26C at idle.
Cons: I honestly can't think of any. Other then minor things I'd like to see changed.
Overall Review: Great board, I'd buy it again! Running a i7 3930k @ 4.2 Ghz with a Corsair H80i. 16 Gb of Corsair ram with SLI'd eVGA 680 Superclocked Signature 2's. I love it!
