Pros: - Fast! Picture thumbnails load immediately compared to the Hitachi 500gb I replaced. - Quiet. I can't hear this drive over my PSU fan and that thing is pretty low on the dB scale. - Light and small. I have this drive in a desktop because I felt the 3.5 inch form factor is excessive and read that 2.5 inch drives are more durable, quieter, and run cooler. - The packaging was impressive. I'm generally paranoid with mechanical drives given their fragility but Newegg did a fantastic job packaging this drive. It was out of danger as far as I'm concerned and you shouldn't worry at all about the drive getting damaged when it is shipped to you. Kudos to Newegg for keeping another HDD alive and luckily not arrive DOA due to physical damage. - 1TB is plenty. Managed to install about 300gbs worth of games and still have plenty of room to spare.

Cons: -Does not come with any SATA cables or anything aside from the drive. I already knew this buying the drive but be forewarned you might need a spare SATA cable in case you didn't have one already.

Overall Review: I would highly recommend this drive to anyone who wants something fast, compact, and light. Seems durable enough and if anything goes wrong *crosses fingers* then I'll try to update this review to address that.

Pros: By far the greatest case that I've built in so far, the Define C has proven to be quite a compact monster of a case. I thought it would be a stupid idea to go from my already brilliant Define R5 to the C but I was already running a compact configuration and needed the extra desk room. -Small, lighter than my R5 by quite a margin, and easier to transport/move to change out parts as a result. -Cable management is fantastic with the included velcro straps and the "cable trench" in the front. -Quieter than my Define R5 due to my configuration of 2x 140mm intake and 1x 120mm exhaust compared to my previous 4x 140mm. Forgot to mention I'm not running the stock fans (which are great if they are similar to the stock 140's that come with the R5), but rather upgraded to three Be Quiet Silent Wings 3. I can only hear my PSU fan in this case and that's quite a feat to behold. -Cooling is superior to the Define R5 by a couple of degrees due to the improved airflow path caused by the PSU shroud/compact nature. -PSU shroud. Didn't know how vital these are to case design now and wondering what took Fractal so long to incorporate one into their cases. Can't see myself living without one as a result. -Case is very rigid. Tried to see if I can get it to flex without side windows but it would not budge.

Cons: -No front door like my Define R5 but this is more of a nitpick than an actual deal breaking issue. -Power button likes to stick when it bottoms out on occasion. Not as tactile as the one that I had previously on the Define R5. -Was really hoping this would have a tempered glass side panel version but I guess Fractal may have that in the works. (Not really a con but just wanted to see if this can gain the attention of any Fractal designers looking through Newegg reviews) -Haven't peeled off the protective plastic over the side window due to fears of scratching similar to my Define R5 and how fragile that side window is. I'm pretty sure the window is made of the same type of material used on the R5's window and needs some work to be scratch resistant.

Overall Review: By far the only two things I miss from the Define R5 are the front door from the front panel and the power button. This case is by far the best evolution of the Define series if you only need a couple of HDDs/SSDs and run a single GPU setup. I'm impressed so far with the case during the three weeks I've been using it. I had regrets switching over from the R5 to something that I thought would be of lesser quality, but found out that the Define C has only improved upon the previous design via more efficient engineering. I highly recommend this case to anyone looking for a compact midtower ATX case. Now if only it had a tempered glass side panel.....

Pros: - The 10-keyless design takes up less space on my keyboard tray which gives my mouse ample room to maneuver during intense firefights on Insurgency or allows me to fight off hordes of zombies with ease on Left 4 Dead 2. -The RGB LEDs are fun and a nice touch for such a high quality keyboard. -Considering I bought a refurbished keyboard for half of its brand new price, I feel I cheated and got what was essentially a brand new item. -It's mechanical, the keys are tactile, and with rubber dampeners installed on every key, it's very quiet. Well quiet for a mechanical keyboard anyway. -The wrist rest is so soft and made being on the computer for hours (which I'm guilty of on a daily basis no thanks to the existence of Steam and Youtube) so much more bearable than my old Logitech K120 which was also a functional keyboard. -This is one hell of a deal and if anyone finds it for 50% off as I did and wants a mechanical keyboard, they would be a fool not to take advantage of it.

Cons: - The Corsair keyboard utility software is quite cumbersome and took me a bit to get the hang of. There should be an easy way to assign a set of colors to a row or column rather than have to select each key individually. -The keyboard itself is flawless so don't worry Corsair, you only have to add a bit more functionality to your keyboard software!

Overall Review: If you want to take the risk of getting the refurbished model over buying it brand new, I say go for it. I got this keyboard for half price of it brand new which was a steal in my book as I didn't find anything that indicated it was in anything less than pristine condition. Corsair, you guys did a hell of a job convincing me I received a brand new device in the mail only to be constantly reminded that I purchased it refurbished every time I check my order history.
