Most Critical Review

Not happy

Thermaltake W0131RU 850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
Thermaltake W0131RU 850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Worked out of the box.

Cons: Three days after installing I noticed the fan wasn't spinning.

Overall Review: RMAed though Thermaltake, when I got the replacement the computer shut off after 10 minutes and wouldn't came back on. Glad I still had time to RMA to Newegg for refund.

Excellent Case

Fractal Design Define R5 Blackout Silent ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Fractal Design Define R5 Blackout Silent ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Fractal Design pretty much thought of everything with this case. Access ports to run cables under the motherboard, built in tie downs to further assist with cable management. I also like the under motherboard SSD mounts. Long enough to fit dual 1080s without removing the drive boxes, deep enough to fit a Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler with room to spare.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: If you're in the market for a new case you can't go wrong with this one.

Had case since May 2012

Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior
Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High Air Flow Full Tower Computer Case with USB 3.0 and All-Black Interior

Pros: Great case keeps everything nice and cool. Factory fans still working over four years later, and my computer pretty much stays on. I was looking for a new case because two of the footings have broken off (I just prop the case on the broken "oreos", that's what the footings look like to me) and saw it was still listed on Newegg.

Cons: Big i.e. heavy Two of the footings have broken off

Overall Review: Newegg is the cutting edge of computer components and if they have something listed for over four years it must be good. Sorry Newegg still waiting to buy new case, better luck next year.

This thing is great

HTC Vive - Virtual Reality Headset
HTC Vive - Virtual Reality Headset

Pros: The HTC Vive is a lot of fun it's really like you're there in the game.

Cons: I have upper back and neck disability and it causes some problems with this. You're tethered on a leash. Requires a very high end graphics card. Price

Better this time

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII HERO/ACU LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII HERO/ACU LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Started right up (see below). Runs my memory at 2400 (previous mobo wouldn't). Very fast matched with i7-4790K CPU, and dual 970s SLI.

Cons: Scared me at first it did a restart and I thought oh **** here we go again, but it was fine. Game code isn't working.

Overall Review: I wish I could give this nine eggs so it would even up the one I gave before.
