Pros: Nice size for the price, you are not going to find much better GB per US $ unless newegg has more super sales up their sleeves. As usual the order arrived early. As usual any problems were dealt with super fast & efficiently by newegg.

Cons: Bought 3 of these drives. Opened white box #1, was about to attach cables & noticed a chunk of extra pastic in the way of the data & pwr connections, a few copper / gold fingers were 'lifted' off of the plastic too, good job I saw this. A snip with nail ckippers & the excess plastic was sorted, a bit of pressure in the right place & a very thin slather of superglue & the fingers were sorted... drive formatted & worked great & still is. Box #2.. oh boy... Hooked it up, formatted & after 3 minutes it bgan to scream & I mean SCREAM... dreadful loud noise the likes I have never heard coming from a HDD ever in over 25 years... It would cool, run for 3 minutes & then scream again, a quick 'jab' to see if that helped just changed the pitch of the scream by 2 octaves or more. RMA'd the bugger... see below in other thoughts. Box / disk #3, perfect out the box, no problems & working away as I tpe this. So 2 out of 3 ain't bad, count the fingers & plastic we could say 1.5

Overall Review: As usual newegg were super fast in dealing with the problem. I had been quite ill, bought the drives a while back when they were first on sale & they sat boxed on my desk untill I was well enough to faff with my PC. After opeing the shipping box, finding the faults with disk #1 but being able to sort i out & then finding the screamer didn't make me too happy as the box had sat past the normal duration of sending items back... Seagate wouldn't deal with it as it was an OEM. Wrote & explained to newgg about being ill & not opening the boxes until 2 hours before I wrote to them... I had an RMA Number & a UPS sticker printed out in under 12 hours from my letter to them. Fantastic treatment by newegg support.. this is why I spend all my hard earned with newegg & no other online store for anything PC. The drives that work, not a problem, nice & quiet, fast for 750GB drives (love the new tech) & when the 3rd comes home to daddy it will round off my storage to 22TBs total <3NE

Pros: I have been running my own V10 from the first week it was available on Newegg. This thing is rock solid despite a fan failure in the first two weeks which wasn't a problem... Apart from the fact that I was going to replace the fans as soon as I got my V10 & was just too lazy to swap them out or just too thrilled at having it & wanting to put it through it's paces... End of the day if it had not been a hybrid Peltier system I would have fried my CPU. Procrastination over swapping out the fans but still using the PC for 3 days & still the CPU was fine. To be honest I thought about running just the peltier on it's own & not popping the newer faster / quieter fans in place. There is room on my mobo under the V10 for ram cooling using two large chromed tri-fan units that came with my ram (freebies from newegg back then). This thing is a dream come true, even during / after 14 hours of solid gaming my CPU is kept at below ambient room temps. I have used 12 more in customers builds.

Cons: Only the Fan issue in the first 2 weeks, bad batch of fans from coolermaster who sent fans out within days of knowing of the issue. Had this been any other heatsink fan combo my cpu would have fried, the peltier worked great on it's own, so it was more of a hinderace than a con & dealt with quicker by CoolerMaster than it was by me...

Overall Review: I would reccomend this V10 to anybody that is serious about cooling a PC, it doesn't matter if you are a gamer or you just need a reliable workhorse, this will save you CPU where others would kill it should you have a fan issue. With my Asus mobo I have room to not only swap out my ram but actually have enough room to also install two large chromed tri-fan ram coolers which allowed me to put a quieter fan over the ram section of the unit. I have since used 12 more of these in builds for customers who so far over a 10 to 13 month period have not had a single issue with their V10s. Being a hybrid you have that safety that if the fan/s or the peltier fails for any reason at all you have a back up built in that will save your CPU. I had tested the only other hybrid available back when the V10 was launched, the V10 out performed the other unit in all bench tests, it not only did this but it looks a lot better & is a lot easier to install. Price saved on CPUs makes up for unit cost.

Pros: I have built 3 systems for clients / customers this month with multiples of this card in, each system runs like a dream. Beats the pants off of the Asus 2GB DDR5 X2 4870's I was going to use in their systems. Very cool even after heavy benchmark testing & burning in the systems. Non of the driver issues sween in these comments when using the AMD Radeon Drivers from the AMD/ATi Website & setting the bios up correctly (more on that below in 'other thoughts'). Huge savings compared to lesser capable cards, not as power hungry as other cards, standard Asus quality which means top notch equipment in your case with well thought out technolgies. I have 3 very very happy customers / clients running various crossfire configs of this card (2 card & 3 card rigs). Asus forums & Asus support are worth looking at if you stumble with the cards, it is always a plus to have knowledgable users & staff that read / write in their forums, minor problem resolved in less than an hour from one post.

Cons: Alas I bought a dozen of these cards from a dif' source & even at bulk rate they cost more than here at Newegg.com. I should have waited to see what newegg were charging for these. It isn't really a con as far as the cards & so the cards still get a full 5 stars. The cards are only 128bit, when X-fired of course you get the same 128bit per card many of the 2X cards on the market say 256bit but they are lumping two 128bit cards together... does that mean that 3 of these cards in x-fire are 128bit better than 256bit? A question however & not a con... Otherwise there have been no cons at all.

Overall Review: First & foremost, these cards work best on Asus mobo's with an AMD chipset & Proc'... Although they are not as power hungry as most cards out there right now, a good power supply with a lot of spare power doesn't hurt, keeps a nice buffer for future upgrades too. Always check your bios settings espesh' if making an X-fire machine. Had a minor problem with one mobo with what looked like random voltage problems, turned out to be the default mobo settings causing the problem & it wasn't voltage, just looked like it. Didn't find the need to overclock as these cards are pleanty fast, overc locking isn't "Essential" anymore, there is a place for it but if you want to just play games & not worry about heat issues, stay at stock settings & you won't be dissapointed. In the 2 card X-fire setups all was great once the bios was setup correctly & new AMD/ATi drivers were installed. The 3 cards system (was going to be 4 card) showed a dink in performance, less pipes used each past 2nd card...

Pros: Installed on my high end custom built PC the day it arrived from NewEgg (well ahead of schedule as usual). Unlike any other USB stick I have tried to use for win 7 or vista's readyboost, this product is not only fast enough but it has remained 'cool' despite its constant use. Every other USB stick I have used in the past that had the speed to run as readyboost had fried due to heat within the first 2 to 3 days, in fact two had not even lasted a full day before they got so hot you couldn't touch them & of course failed as they pretty much melted the usb components inside the housings. Perhaps the quality of the product with such high speeds allows this product to stay nice & cool under 24 / 7 usage. Win 7 found & loved this USB stick from the moment I popped it into a free space on my PC. Testing the stick gave proof that the speeds are higher than "Patriot" claims for this item. Upgrading the size for ready boost & buying more to replace all other USB sticks here.

Cons: Not a con... foolishness on my part. I should have bought the 8GB or 16 GB version right from the start & trusted this product based on the other reviews here on newegg. But then having ruined so many USB Sticks before in the past & wanting to try this one I decided to go with only the 4GB as I didn't want to throw more money down the drain than need be. This puppy does what it says on the tin & then some more... Certainly faster than Patriot claims it to be & worth every penny. I don't know how they do it or why it isn't burning up like the others did that worked with ReadyBoost, perhaps the speed is so good that there just isn't any stress on this stick...

Overall Review: ReadyBoost under windows 7 pro (full install) is far better than it was under vista. This USB Stick beats all others tried (I tried over a dozen in all), aside from the speed being more then fast enough to run ReadyBoost on it, the design & durability somehow keeps this item nice & cool. As mentioned above heat had killed any other sticks that were fast enough to run ReadyBoost. Ordering again this week, either the 8GB or the 16GB might even get both as this is certainly the best USB stick I have ever owned even beating out those in the hundred dollar & above price range. You'd expect the ones that cost a fortune, wrapped in heavy duty metals claiming to be bullet proof, stand up to tanks rolling over them but they don't mention the fact that they die due to burning up under constant use. On the basis of this USB stick being so great I am now also looking into other "Patriot" products for their cost / durability factor.

Pros: The V10's TEC / Peltier saved my $5k plus system!!!! No kidding, I run my systems 24 /7 - 365 with very few reboots. Due to illness I was bed bound for approx 7 weeks. At some point during those 7 weeks the fans in the V10 lost power leaving the V10 running on only the TEC unit around the clock. I had let my eldest have access to the system with the V10 in use, he neglected to tell me about the fan problems (Traced to my fan controler). Had this been any other cooler on the market my CPU or worse would have been cooked. I myself had used my system for just over 8 days before having to reboot due to certain updates that require a boot. Then & only then did I discover that the fans had failed via a message from my system. This is proof positive that the TEC works great & you don't have to worry about the loss of your rig should you have fan failures for any reason at all. The TEC kept my AMD X4 940 Quad Black Edition both safe & cool for well over a month!!!!!!

Cons: The only cons here are posts from people who don't know a thing about PCs, don't own a V10.

Overall Review: My original rewive was posted here:- 3/12/2009. This unit (the CM V10) won't kill your mobo, you can access your ram whilst it is in place & it works like a dream. As I said above, had I not owned a V10 my $5k Plus PC would be bricked! Best value for money when looking for a Hybrid cooling soloution & the Tec kept my PC running at 40 degrees all on it's own for over a month. Again the fan failure was not a coolermaster problem it was my fan controler.

Pros: Loads of space for the avid gamer & great cooling. Great layout. Big enough for even thelargest of GFX cards. Mobo Tray cuts in all the right places. On / Off case lights. Can be ultra silent. Price for this quality at full retail, newegg always makes this a bigger plus. Everything about this case screams quality build. It's big enough to hold everything yet still portable enough to transport. Just feels rock solid, you know it is quality just by looking at it, touching it enforces that quality sensation. Filling it with your parts is easy with an exceptional well thought out layout & tool free design. CoolerMaster now adds 'info sheets' for mobo fixtures on the tray so that you cannot fail to understand, helping first time builders & pro builders alike to quickly fit a mobo of any size or style. Always extra of every screw & mobo stand-off in every box. Great customer support & forums, this case has it's very own forums on top of the CoolerMaster Forums.

Cons: No Cons at all, out of nearly a dozen builds with these cases & not a single fault that I nor my customers / clients have come across.

Overall Review: When used for 'non-gamers' (as I do mostly for clients) This case is fantastic for HTCP & The bosses PC. The ability to dial out the LEDs makes this a 'flashy case for the HTCP crowd, yet allows you to turn them off when it's showtime. (before you mention other styles of cases, not everybody wants an HTPC to look like another piece of home AV Equipment, some people prefer to have an HTPC look like a PC Still) A lot of office Bosses love the case too... Itcan look flashy yet with a turn of the dial it is all work & no play in apperances. Customer support at coolermaster is great and the people in their regular forums are Ultra helpful. This case even has it's own forums for gamers that is worth checking out, a growing community of 'sniper owners', not many cases can boast as much. All in all I have used close to a dozen of these cases and I am seriously considering stripping out my new CM Stacker & replacing it with A Storm Sniper case for my personal gamer / work combo.
