Solid board
Pros: Great for a mid-level build. Overclocking is easy via the BIOS interface - haven't tried yet though. USB 3.0, front audio, and USB headers.
Cons: Could use 1 more fan header. The software never worked for me. The BIOS update didn't work, and "fast boot" just seems like bloatware. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but both seemed useless.
Overall Review: Recommended for an entry or mid-level build.
Very blue?
Pros: - Price - Viewing angle
Cons: - Very blue - Doesn't reduce eye strain
Overall Review: This is advertised as "ultra low-blue" but is the bluest monitor I've ever had! Even with blue reduction in the middle setting it's still bluer than my prior monitor on a standard setting. If anything, I get MORE eyestrain with this monitor. The price was good and the viewing angle is great. I'm not using the speakers so can't comment on those.
Great keyboard!
Overall Review: This is my first mechanical keyboard and it's great! The brown switches are not too noisy but have a very nice feel. I'm typing faster and with less errors.
It works!
Pros: Worked like it's supposed to - unlike the G.Skill junk that arrived with 1 DOA stick... It's blue
Cons: None
So much faster than a HDD!
Pros: I didn't do any formal testing, but just from a user-experience, this is noticeably faster than a mechanical drive. OS boots really quickly, and other programs load super fast. I don't do any huge file transfers or need massive storage so this drive was perfect for price/performance.
Cons: Could use a bracket to mount in an ATX case? No moving parts though and it's INSANELY light, so I just mounted using the screws on one side.
Overall Review: Recommended!
Nice little case
Pros: Good price for a solid basic case. Included fan is quiet. Front audio and USB are easy to access. No sharp edges. Everything fit easily.
Cons: Not really a con, but the case is small so might not be a good choice if you need to include many drives or other add-ons.
