Tripp Lite Model P004-006 6 ft. AC Power Extension Cord, IEC-320-C14 to IEC-320-C13

Pros: Great if you know what they are used for. Fits my server racks PDU's like a glove.

Cons: They smell funny. Not like funny haha, just not... Their kind of greasy.

Overall Review: They work exactly better than the jumping electron theory I was expected to use beforehand.

Most Critical Review

It was spectacular for ...

ASUS ROG Swift PG348Q 34" Ultra WQHD 3440 x 1440 100Hz Curved IPS G-Sync Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free Gaming Monitor with Speakers Tilt Swift Height-Adjustable VESA Mount
ASUS ROG Swift PG348Q 34" Ultra WQHD 3440 x 1440 100Hz Curved IPS G-Sync Asus Eye Care with Ultra Low-Blue Light & Flicker-Free Gaming Monitor with Speakers Tilt Swift Height-Adjustable VESA Mount

Pros: It is a great monitor for gaming and work. It did its job and more than I expected. I am using it to type this on the HDMI connection,,,

Cons: I lost the DisplayPort connectivity within 2 months, I need to get it fixed but something this big put together should not be shipped/RMA'd easily. I'm thinking about sending it back bit the picture/pixels are perfect and no dead ones. I just can't use G-Sync and for $X,XXX I expected a little better,

Overall Review: I think Newegg and ASUS are great companies.

Nice Case

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D (CC650DW-1) Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair Obsidian Series 650D (CC650DW-1) Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Mid Tower Case

Pros: Size, not gargantuan, not mini. Its great for most power users. Great cooling stock (2x20cm fans + 120mm). I removed the top 20cm fan for the H110 water cool setup. fits Full sized GFX, Lots of HDD's and just enough 5.25 for most.

Cons: Space between back of MB and Case Side really is not much (average). Spent a lot more time re-routing than some of the larger cases with more room for cable routing/hiding. Fan control inside the HDD dock. Only supports 3 position (Off, low, high). Would rather have a potentiometer type fan control. Corsair needs to sell or include a top mount fan filter.

Overall Review: I don't use the integrated fan control. I installed a Lamptron FC10 for that work. I also installed a magnetic filter on top of the case that fits perfectly.

Works as intended

CORSAIR Hydro Series H110 Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 280mm (CW-9060014-WW)
CORSAIR Hydro Series H110 Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 280mm (CW-9060014-WW)

Pros: Better than any air cooler, quiet or silent with Fan control. 1090T (3.2/3.6) 6-core 130W processor idles 15-17C, <65F which is cooler than the office it is in. Max load CCCP/Prime95 never gets to 40C (37-38 bounce), its overkill on non-OC processors. Fits my Case. I got this for future processor/MB upgrade.

Cons: Makes too much noise without fan control.

Overall Review: I have a the Corsair 650D so I knew beforehand that it would fit. Pump and two 140mm radiator fans are both PWM 4 pin, plan ahead with splitter/adapter and/or RPM control. My MB just couldn't spin them down as slow as I wanted (speedfan) without stalling the fans so I got a Lamptron FC10, now all is well in the world. Corsair needs to include a magnetic filter I bought elsewhere for the top since the recommended install of the radiator is to pull in outside air.
