POST! Day 1 working well.

Seasonic FOCUS GM-750, 750W 80+ Gold, Semi-Modular, Fits All ATX Systems, Fan Control in Silent and Cooling Mode, 7 Year Warranty, Perfect Power Supply for Gaming and Various Application, SSR-750FM

Pros: - For the price, this is an extremely reliable brand of PSU. Considering I also should be getting a mail in rebate back at some point? Icing on the cake. -The black flat and sleeved cables are great. Very build neutral. For my RBG build, this is perfect! - This may be a semi-modular PSU, but very few things are actually not modular. 24pin power, CPU 4x2, GPU (6+2)x2. That's it.

Cons: -The flat black non-modular cables are a bit on the messy side. the GPU (6+2)x2 comes out of the PSU as two separate cables, and then gets spliced together into the single double connector. Same for the CPU 4x2. Overall this won't be a problem, but I can see why you'd want to spring for a little extra sleeving, or extensions to make things look tidier.

Overall Review: I'll update if something goes wrong, but thus far I've had nothing but good experiences with this brand, and the record continues.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHRG MY HEAD!

ZALMAN ZM-RS6F Circumaural Surround Sound Headset
ZALMAN ZM-RS6F Circumaural Surround Sound Headset

Pros: Surprisingly nice sound, proper bass, good surround, long cord, volume control on cord. Despite the cons, this is a very nice set of headphones as far as audio quality goes, especially at the promo price. This would be why they still get 3 eggs from me.

Cons: This product is listed as a "Headset," which intrinsically implies that there's a microphone but does not actually contain a microphone. The package states that they are headphones, so the wording on the title is Newegg's mistake. Going back and looking at the pictures I don't know how I thought there would be a mic, probably just assumed. I wouldn't take eggs off for that tough... Most importantly, these were designed to be worn by a person with a head of STONE. There's almost no padding on the earpieces (there's an unfortunate ridge of plastic just underneath the very inner edge of the padding that makes what padding that is there mostly useless), and they are really, REALLY heavy. 10 minutes til I had a headache.

Overall Review: I will be using these for casual listening, or perhaps when I want really good surround in a game, like an FPS... but otherwise I don't know if I can stand them for long sessions. Hopefully after a break-in period they'll grip my head more loosely, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope. They're definitely built for performance, not for comfort. If they had a bunch more padding on the ears I think the heaviness would be offset fairly and I would've called these the best headphones I've ever owned.

Fantastic!

CORSAIR - K68 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard RGB Backlit Cherry MX Red Switch - Black
CORSAIR - K68 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard RGB Backlit Cherry MX Red Switch - Black

Pros: There's no such thing as a perfect product, especially with all of the big names undercutting each other on price. That said it is hard to find much for flaws with this thing. Great to type on, especially if you're not super crazy picky about it. Great looking RGB effects, set them as you wish. Or don't! The stock effect is pretty. The sale price is also very nice when it happens! Especially considering the quality of the product.

Cons: The cons I have found? Well it's not much, but occasionally you might hear a metallic echo or reverb if you strike a key exceptionally hard. Not something I do in regular typing, and nothing compared to the squeaking effect that we returned 4 Razer Chromas for... but it is something. Maybe not something that should dissuade you from purchasing it, but a consideration nonetheless. Otherwise I like the keystroke sound.

Overall Review: I'd recommend this on sale to anyone who likes the look of it, and might occasionally have a beverage at their desk, or are a bit clumsy.

Keeps cool

DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400 GT CPU Cooler 4 Heatpipes 120mm RGB LED PWM Fan ASUS AURA SYNC AM4 Support
DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400 GT CPU Cooler 4 Heatpipes 120mm RGB LED PWM Fan ASUS AURA SYNC AM4 Support

Pros: -As far as design goes, this cooler looks very good in an RGB build. The light up panel on the top is nice, not some overstated branding thing like some others. It also doesn't take up crazy craptons of real estate to do its' thing, so you can show off a bit more of your stuff. Also it seems to play very nicely with aura. No issues. -Very good airflow to noise ratio. The thing is pretty quiet in the case considering how much air it pulls. I have it and 3 case fans running full time. My GPU is noticeably louder when it ramps itself up. At idle I'd say it performs quieter than I'd expected. It's certainly quieter than most AIO situations, and with very similar cooling potential.

Cons: -This is one of those points where you kind of pay a premium for RGB elements, but the difference in cost between this cooler and identical coolers by deepcool without RGB is kind of nuts. This costs more than double what you'd pay for the other ones without lighting, at their regular sale price of $25 if you're patient.

Device works... most of the time.

Corsair Vengeance M60  Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Performance, FPS Gaming Mouse
Corsair Vengeance M60 Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Laser 5700 dpi Performance, FPS Gaming Mouse

Pros: The mouse has a great feel to it. It definitely does the job pretty well. I don't do much for online FPS games, but I'm sure the sniper button will help out a bit on my next playthrough of Fallout or some such.

Cons: I've tried and tried and tried. I've updated drivers, tried older drivers, updated firmware, restarted countless times, deleted old drivers, but I always still have the same old problem. The mouse will go inactive for about 5 seconds like it's been unplugged. I'll even hear the windows sound for a device being unplugged. It'll then play the windows sound for a device being plugged back in, and the mouse's functionality returns to normal. The mouse will do this roughly every 5 minutes. I can't do justice in 3000 letters as to how annoying this is while in the middle of a heated online game like D3. Starting to get to the end of my rope with this thing. Aside from that I'd say that it's pretty good. The sniper button is placed a bit far from the other two side buttons, though. I've got big hands, and it's still a bit of an issue. Not that I'm an avid user of a mouse's side buttons yet, but moving between them still seems a bit awkward. Despite the placement, though, sniper button is pretty ingenious.

Cable broke within a week this time

Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset
Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset

Pros: I've owned 3 of these over the years. I love them. They're comfortable, and pretty high quality for the price, usually. My wife still uses one I bought years ago. Usually quite durable.

Cons: The one I just purchased for my new gaming rig broke within a week. I assume there was something wrong with how the cord was made, because a little tug detached both jacks. Creative refuses to replace them. Any hint of physical damage is apparently reason enough to deny my request. The emails they sent me were in very broken english, as well: I apologise for this matter. As there are different factor that can caused the result, therefore, we cannot confirm that the reason the cable is damage is due to the way the wires are spliced. As your headphone is out of warranty, I afraid that if you send to us to do replacement or RMA, you will have to pay a service fee charge. Since you purchase it from Newegg, you may try to contact them regarding you situation and check if they are able to do any replacement or repair for your headphone. Well... Thanks, Creative, after I do my RMA with newegg I don't know if I'll be buying from you again.

Fantastic!

This is my 2nd S2417DG monitor. The thin bezels make it pretty much perfect for a multiple monitor setup. I'm in love with the monitor, and it's working as expected. So glad to finally have matching ones!
