Arctic Silver Arcticlean Thermal material Remover & Surface Purifier ACN-60ML (2-PC-SET)
Arctic Silver Arcticlean Thermal material Remover & Surface Purifier ACN-60ML (2-PC-SET)

Pros: Cleaned the old thermal paste off very quickly and easily. It also has a nice dropper that can be used to apply the stuff precisely.

Cons: none

Overall Review: It does smell like oranges... I don't really know mouch about it other than that. I never cleaned thermal paste off with alcohol or anything before.

NVIDIA® SHIELD™ Tablet Cover
NVIDIA® SHIELD™ Tablet Cover

Pros: Protects the screen and makes a good stand. The magnets make it easy to adjust. The cooling seems to work fine when I use it as a stand.

Cons: It blocks the camera. It also seems to hinder cooling when 3d gaming.

Overall Review: Nothing that can really be done about it blocking the camera. If it didn't then the whole screen side wouldn't be protected. It's just a minor annoyance. I tend to take the thing off fairly frequently because of that and thermal. I do wish nvidia would make a case for this. Something that could make it easy to carry the tablet and the controller, and possibly the power plug and usb cord. There are 3 main ways to use it as a stand, shown on nvidia's site.

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 G-SYNC Support Video Card GV-N980D5-4GD-B
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 G-SYNC Support Video Card GV-N980D5-4GD-B

Pros: Very fast. It's also cool and quiet most of the time. 3 display ports, 1 hdmi, and 1 dvi. It has all the connectivity I could want. It's also a lower price than I would have paid for the 750ti, so I'm glad I waited 2 months for this to be released.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I'm running this on a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot, and it's still fast. I get 60fps on Batman:Arkham Asylum (max everything except AA which is x4), even in heavy action scenes. About 55 fps on Space Engineers on max graphics, but that game isn't well optimized yet anyway. I tend to be pretty busy with work, so I haven't had time to play much else. I upgraded from a GTX 260. This runs a lot cooler than the HD Radeon I was borrowing from a coworker.

Mid-Back Black Leather Swivel Task Chair with Arms
Mid-Back Black Leather Swivel Task Chair with Arms

Pros: It's a comfortable mid-back chair. Actually, I'd say it's above average in comfort. It can be raised/lowered, and it lets you lean backwards. You can lock it to sit up straight, though. The arm rests are at a decent height. The wheels are nice, and it fits neatly under my desk.

Cons: It squeaks a little when leaning back/forward, which I do a lot. The arm rests are not adjustable.

Overall Review: My wife put it together for me, and she keeps worrying that it's going to break. I'm only 160 pounds, so I guess that means she's not confident in its strength. But I tend to sit in weird ways, like putting my leg over the arm rest, and it creaks a lot when I do that. Yeah, I know it wasn't really built for all that. If it falls apart on me, I'll be sure to write a negative review. Overall, it's really a fine chair, and I like it. SO much better than the metal folding chair I was using before.

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G

Pros: My CPU fan no longer sounds like a rocket ship lifting off. I haven't measured the thermal difference, but the fan is much, much quieter now when I game. To be fair, my old thermal paste was really messed up from the few times I removed and replaced the heat sink over the years.

Cons: It's a bit pricey, but $9 to protect a $100-$300+ CPU is worth it to me.

Overall Review: I haven't tried anything else; I just bought this because it's known to work. This is the first time I've applied thermal paste. I noticed that the way you need to apply it depends on the type of CPU you have. If you're applying this to your main and only PC's CPU, you may want to print out the PDF instructions.

G.Skill 64GB microSDXC UHS-I/U1 Class 10 Memory Card without Adapter (FF-TSDXC64GN-U1)
G.Skill 64GB microSDXC UHS-I/U1 Class 10 Memory Card without Adapter (FF-TSDXC64GN-U1)

Pros: It works in my nvidia shield tablet

Cons: none

Overall Review: Not much else to say. It's a full-sized 64GB (not 64GiB) micro sd card that works. I didn't test the speed. Note: 64GB is 64*1,000^4, and 64 GiB would be 64*1,024^4. Don't complain that windows shows it as a little less than 64,000,000,000 bytes. It comes preformatted as exfat primary partition, with an ms-dos partition table. If you device doesn't support that, reformat it. My device handled it fine, but I reformatted it anyway.
