Excellent.
Pros: + Lots of long cables to work with if you have a full sized tower. + 950W for the price. + Quiet.
Cons: - Lots of long cables to manage if you have a mid sized tower. - The first week or so it made quiet, high pitched, funny sounds... but has since stopped.
Overall Review: This was for my first build, and It works great. The only thing that would have made this a perfect PSU for me is if it were modular. I have a Rosewill Challenger case and I had to get really creative as to where to put all those very long, extra cables. Cable management was actually what took the longest during my build if that tells you anything. Still, I'd rather have too much than not enough.
A Very Good, Yet Overrated Game
Pros: - Very long, so you'll get your monies worth - Overall a great game with great presentation, graphics and gameplay - The more you play it the more you'll love it - Recaptures the charm of old JRPGs while still feeling fresh
Cons: - Very long, so be prepared to sink a lot of time into this one - Not as good as what people make it out to be - The first 10-15 hours drags and holds your hand completely - Meh story, but has a decent enough payoff
Overall Review: I was able to sink in 72 hours into this JRPG beast before feeling the need to move on. It's a great game indeed, but not nearly as good as what reviews and most people make it out to be. I'd honestly give it an 8.5/10 if I could. If you want a great JRPG that's familiar (pun sorta intended) yet fresh and you have at least 55 hours you're willing to sink in - then get this game. Don't have insanely high expectations as some would lead you to have and you'll walk away satisfied. Also, the first 10-15 hours really do drag and are filled with hand-holding tutorials. Once you get past that though, the game really does open up. Enjoy!
An Excellent Buy!
Pros: Major: + A stellar case for the price. + Very quiet/good stock fans. + Light yet sturdy. + Very well ventilated. Minor: + Sexy and sleek despite no side window.
Cons: Major: - HDDs go in backwards. Minor: - Comes with plastic thumb screws for side panels. - Side panels don't line up 100% once taken off. - LED fan in front is super bright.
Overall Review: This was for my first build and I couldn't imagine a better case - especially for the price. The only thing holding back this case back from perfection is how the HDDs go in backwards. Please note that it will not fit a Cooler Master V8.
Excellent Deal!
Pros: This is an amazing deal! Simply the best monitor I've ever owned. It's sleek and sexy with a high gloss frame/base while the screen is matted (thank you Asus! - I hate glossy screens). It's the perfect size too, not too big, just right. Gives you a lot more work space! Everything looks amazing and you can tweak the settings a lot so you can get everything just the way you want. The three different inputs are well appriciated. I sadly still have yet to try out my Xbox 360 on it with the HDMI hook-up, I know it'd look fantastic on this baby.
Cons: The only real complaint I have is that after the monitor is on for 20 min or so, the backlight begins to bleed in from the sides. This is only noticable though if there is something black on the sides of the screen. It's not bad enough though to lower the rating or not buy this excellent monitor.
Overall Review: The built-in speakers are not bad at all considering what they are... Built-in speakers. It's an overall excellent deal and I am totally happy with my purchase! No dead pixles!
