Nico Series Mid-Back Swivel/Tilt Chair, Black
Nico Series Mid-Back Swivel/Tilt Chair, Black

Pros: Chair is comfortable.

Cons: This thing was a beast to assemble. Nothing lined up quite right on mine. This is a nice chair but not $160 nice. Go to walmart and get a comparable model for less.

Awesome in BF3

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R787OC-2GD
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R787OC-2GD

Pros: I have a dual core 665K OCed to 4.0GHz stock voltage, stock fsb, 4GB of ram. With All settings maxed except MSAA which is 2x I get 45-50FPS and it doesn't go below 39FPS ever. This card has the best cooling solution available, is quite, and runs cool, to boot it is factory overclocked 10% and fully stable at that speed.

Cons: Too expensive. AMD needs to lower the price. $200 would be more reasonable.

Overall Review: Great card 5 stars! Price should be lowered to compete with Geforce 600 series which score better for less.

AMAZING!!!

Western Digital WD TV Live Plus HD Media Player
Western Digital WD TV Live Plus HD Media Player

Pros: Will play almost any media file even high def stuff! Can connect huge external hard drives full of stuff! Netflix and hulu plus, and they keep adding stuff :) This thing is awesome buy it or I will punch your mom.

Cons: Lacks some features I really like on the roku, like national news, amarzon, and all those cool free channels, would love to see roku release a device that supports all the file types the western digital tv live plus does.

Overall Review: To those who say netflix won't work in other countries you can use an American VPN and set it up in a router that supports it and connect that router to the western digital tv, problem solved.

WOW

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes

Pros: I have a i5 655k unlocked 32nm cpu. It does 4GHz stock voltage and stock FSB. This keeps nearly at ambient temp at idle and about 5*C above ambient when under load. Using Arctic Silver 5 What more can you ask for?

Cons: I replaced the junk sleeve bearing fan with a double ball bearing 110cfm fan.

Overall Review: Buy this or I will punch your mom.

NICE

Intel Core i5-655K - Core i5 Clarkdale Dual-Core 3.2 GHz LGA 1156 73W Intel HD Graphics Unlocked Desktop Processor - BX80616I5655K

Pros: Changed multiplier to 31, left voltage at stock settings and left fsb at stock speed. Nice to have a 4GHz CPU running at 80*F/26.6C under load

Cons: too much money
