Pros: Great design, excellent airflow, lots of room, lightweight, integrated fan controller. Lots of cable cutouts with grommets. Watercooling ready. All internal wiring is black/shielded.

Cons: Motherboard cpu cutout isn't big enough for some mounts. Must use NZXT fans.

Overall Review: Not many cases look like the Phantom. I get compliments on it all the time. It's a beautiful glossy black with mesh everywhere. No cheap side window, which I prefer. The front door is magnetic and conceals all your drives for a sleek look. The fan controller is nicely implemented with a corresponding led for each fan that's active. I have green led NZXT fans all around, and it looks friggin sick! The front top panel has all the ports you could ever need including USB 3.0 and eSATA! Airflow inside is great. If you want to go the watercooler route there's lots of options with quad tube cutouts and dual radiator support. NZXT really thought this one through. It shares the same thoughtful design and quality as their Switch 810, but for less money. I believe its one of the best cases on the market, and with so many to choose from that's not easy for me to say. I was torn between this case, the Thor V2 (airflow, great value) , and 550D (quiet, high quality), but after rebate the Phantom was less expensive and aesthetically better.

Comments: The only plus to this keyboard is the EL backlight and the low price. Other than that its not very useful. The key layout isn't the greatest as I find myself making many mistakes. Also, the feedback from the keys is very poor. You have to push harder on the keys than a laptop which means more typos. It looks great in the dark, but using it on a day in day out basis just isn't practical.

Pros: Small Form Factor, Sturdy, Backlit, CherryMX Blue's, N-Key Rollover, Braided Cable, Removable Key Caps

Cons: Detachable Cable

Overall Review: The CM Storm QuickFire TK is a tournament sized keyboard that integrates the 10 keys found in the middle of a full size keyboard in the num pad, which most keyboards this size completely eliminate. Its perfectly sized for my needs. The keyboard is heavy and solid. It stays in place. The backlit keys are really bright and individually lit. Behind the keys is a reflective blue that looks great. The backlight has 5 brightness levels and features 3 modes that can illuminate only the wsad and directional keys on the numpad (numlock disabled). With numlock enabled only the numbers are shown. Very nice. The only key made smaller to fit is the windows key (which can be disabled) the rest are full sized. This keyboard is a pleasure to type on, and a great value in comparison to its competitors. Highly recommended.

Pros: Very Stable, Overclocks Easily, High Quality Heatsinks.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I've been using Corsair Dominator RAM for years. Its some of the best desktop memory you can buy as an enthusiast. The chips are selected from the best bins, so they overclock easily, and are stable when pushed hard. Corsair also uses a custom PCB with a heavy dual heatsink design called DHX. The sticks are solid and built like a tank. Night and day compared to their Vengeance line. These are rated at 1600mhz, but will clock much higher if you have the voltage. A great value compared to faster rated sticks from other inferior brands. Once you try Dominator ram everything else seems sub standard.

Pros: High quality design. Nice mounting hardware. All cables black sleeved. Quiet.

Cons: Instructions look like a treasure map. Stiff lines.

Overall Review: This is a high quality cooler at a great price. The mounting hardware is typical CM, very solid. Getting the mount and brackets installed was no trouble at all. Once the motherboard standoffs are in place you align them with the screws and tighten down. The instructions are not very clear, but you need to set the motherboard mount and pump brackets to the correct size depending on your CPU. Each screw has 3 positions. Since mine is 1155 I used the middle position on each, and everything lined up perfectly. I recommend installing the pump first then the radiator. The pump is very quiet and gives off a faint buzzing sound typical of a small aquarium pump. If it wasn't for the blue LED I wouldn't know its running. I'm not using the included fans so I cannot comment on how noisy they are. The included silicone gasket should keep them from rattling on the radiator. My temps so far have been great. <20*C idle and average 60*C under full load. Impressive.

Pros: Low profile, Stitched Edges, Weaved fabric.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This is a high quality mouse pad with a slick weaved pattern for precise control. Fitting this pad is named "Control Edition" because it really does offer more control, especially in FPS games where aiming is crucial. The difference from using cheap mouse pads, and even my plain desk surface was like night and day. Keep in mind the standard medium is fairly wide. I would take measurements if you have limited desk space. Overall a great mouse pad for heavy gamers.
