Excellent Cooler

COOLER MASTER Intel Core i5 compatible GeminII S RR-CCH-PBU1-GP 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler
COOLER MASTER Intel Core i5 compatible GeminII S RR-CCH-PBU1-GP 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler

Pros: Must be worthy of a purchase because my temperatures dropped ~10°c after replacing the stock cooler. It was much cheaper than the other cpu coolers and I can't hear it over my case fan so I assume it is pretty quiet.

Cons: Was a bit hard installing without removing the motherboard from the case but I did it. Had to place the case upright and keep a firm hand on the cooler while placing the back plate on with my other hand. Basically it would have been way easier to do with a new pc build otherwise it will just take a bit of time if you already have your pc set up. Might be helpful to have someone hold the cooler for you while you install the bolts on the back of the plate.

Overall Review: Wrote this 20 minutes after installation. So maybe the temps will drop some more?

Phenomenal Picture

ASUS VG Series VG278H Black 27" 2ms HDMI Swivel & Height Adjustable Widescreen LED Backlight LCD 3D 120Hz Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 50,000,000:1 w/ 3D glasses and speakers
ASUS VG Series VG278H Black 27" 2ms HDMI Swivel & Height Adjustable Widescreen LED Backlight LCD 3D 120Hz Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 50,000,000:1 w/ 3D glasses and speakers

Pros: The picture is great, it has speakers, and it has some great functions like tilt, raise, and swivel.

Cons: The 3D function works but it's subpar. My review is accurate and honest but perhaps the 3D just isn't for me. I would love to love this monitor but it's just too expensive for what it is. I thought the 3D was going to be something it isn't.

Not very good

Logitech MK320 Wireless Desktop Keyboard and Mouse Combo — Entertainment Keyboard and Mouse, 2.4GHz Encrypted Wireless Connection, Long Battery Life
Logitech MK320 Wireless Desktop Keyboard and Mouse Combo — Entertainment Keyboard and Mouse, 2.4GHz Encrypted Wireless Connection, Long Battery Life

Pros: Mouse signal is great.

Cons: Battery life on mouse is the worst I've ever experienced. I change the battery at least once a month. I turn off the mouse when I don't use it too. So much for 6 month battery life... The wireless range on this set is quite good but it's constantly dropped/lagging/unresponsive. Sometimes I will type a key and get no action. Then I will move the keyboard (I shouldn't have to, I'm 3 feet away) and the entire sentence I just typed will finally spit out onto the screen with missing letters. Sometimes there isn't anything even produced. I actually have to use a wired keyboard when I'm gaming because of the horrible latency. I'm not talking a few ms. I mean 3-10 seconds or nothing at all. That's extremely significant.

Overall Review: Would be OK for a media center PC if the mouse battery would last.

Best 120 mm fan !

Scythe DFS123812-3000 "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan
Scythe DFS123812-3000 "ULTRA KAZE" 120 x 38 mm Case Fan

Pros: This fan is just awesome. It moves a LOT of air. It's much better than the 250 mm fans on my Xclio case.

Cons: Loud as hell at full speed

Overall Review: Easy install, like most case fans.
