Corsair headset eh, sounds good to me......

Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless 7.1 Gaming headset
Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless 7.1 Gaming headset

Pros: The Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless 7.1 Gaming headset has been a good change of pace from my usual wired headset. These are padded and comfortable(a little warm) with good adjustment for size normal heads. Crisp voices, hard hitting bass, solid battery life, and plenty of range if you happen to walk away for a minute. I've been playing Ghost Recon Online for the better part of 1.5 months, and felt that this headset worked extremely well with sound and VOIP functions of this game. The ability to turn off the mic by putting it in an up position is quite smart. I can hear my squad and action clearly with the simulated 7.1 sound. If I want to adjust the volume a bit, just roll the sound bar, too easy. I only have to charge it once a week normally, unless I pull a long gaming session over the weekend. The LED indicator for power are very smart as well. Orange - charging, Green - charged, and Red - time to charge, wrapped up in a simple USB port and cable. Everything about this headset is well thought out. It's not perfect, but very very good.

Cons: 1. I wish it could be used with a sound card, then the 7.1 sound feature would be viable. 2. The ear pads are sweet, but they get hot after about 15 - 30 minutes. Good way to measure when to take a little break. 3. Expensive to be honest. I have a Microsoft headset that is almost as good, but wired. They're $80 cheaper too. I know, I know, paying for features and higher quality is the aim for these.

Overall Review: The fit and finish is pretty nice, but it has to be for the coin spent. I've really enjoyed not having to fight my 1 year old for the cable.

Rebate fraud

MSI GeForce GTS 250 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N250GTS TwinFrozr 1G OC

Pros: Great card, I have 2 actually. Everything I expected them to be. Just don't expect them to honor your rebate.

Cons: Another customer burned by MSI's "rebate". They rejected my rebate and told me that the UPC cut from their box is a copy. Sounds like someone just doesn't want to pay out. I know, I know. I'm certainly not the first and won't be the last. Guess what, ef them and their fraudulent ways. Next build will definitely have no MSI anything. I'm washing my hands of this company.

Overall Review: Newegg is the best hands down, but they should stop this up front. Stop allowing companies to offer rebates if they can't/won't honor them.

Definitely worth a look

Seagate Momentus Thin ST320LT007 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive

Pros: This is a very slim and trim laptop hard drive. 320GB, 7200RPM and 16MB cache are good specs for any OS drive. I installed it on my 2 year old netbook, and installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview 32 bit. So far it has been fast and very quiet. Which is exactly what this kind of drive is intended for. I have no reservations about recommending this drive for an upgrade for space and increased speed.

Overall Review: I would like to see this drive in a 500GB and 750GB model. I was on the hunt for one about 2 weeks ago for an Toshiba ultrabook configuration I needed for work. I'll definitely keep this model line in mind for any future upgrades unless the config requires an SSD. *Side Note* Newegg packaged this item well. Bubble wrap and inflated mini bags. Egg-xcellent.

It works.

Cons: None

Very good

Wintec One 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 3OH16009U9H-12GT
Wintec One 12GB (3 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 3OH16009U9H-12GT

Pros: Absolutely solid. Runs at the correct speed under XMP and can also be tweaked for better timings. Will also run solid @ DDR3 1800+ as well. I'm sure they can go higher, it's just a matter of what your board can handle. Love the heat spreaders. They actually cover the green PCB giving them a more high end look.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Wintec makes a solid product. They have that Rosewill feel to me. Good products at a reasonable price. I think a second kit would be overkill, but can't resist 24GB of ram. No more page file.....

Works
