Proper Premium RAM at dissent price

CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMY16GX3M2A1866C9R
CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMY16GX3M2A1866C9R

Pros: Good build quality Large Aluminum heatsink if you are in overclocking No issues

Cons: I wish the memory packaging was better. In my opinion costly memory should come in better and tougher box, not one you can bend as easy as a plastic water bottle.

Overall Review: I ran complete memory test 5+ hours right out of the box and no issues were found compared to other brands memory like G.SKILLS. This is my second additional set in the same machine. Keep in mind memory speed is motherboard dependent especially if you are running older CPU which doesn’t natively supports 1866 but if you are installing this memory in premium motherboard there will be no issue to achieve advertised speed or perhaps higher.

Good but not great!

Cooler Master GeminII S524 - CPU Cooler with Aluminum Fins and 5 Heatpipes
Cooler Master GeminII S524 - CPU Cooler with Aluminum Fins and 5 Heatpipes

Pros: decent size and most importantly will fit almost any size case. it looks better that it feels.

Cons: Feels heavy! Very, very uneasy to install if you can get a friend to help you will save yourself a lot of headache. I think my fan is defective because every time I fire up the machine it makes screappy noise for the first 3-4 minutes. Fan is much louder than the description says. Also the statement that this will cool your chipset too is rather untrue and that was the only reason I paid $20 over the 212. On my X58 NB temperature drop by one degree from Corsair H50. If you can fit 212 in your case don’t waste your money on this one. It is not a bad cooler but nothing special by far! Way better ways to spend $42!

Works perfectly in my Alienware 17 R3 !!!

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 260-Pin DDR4 SO-DIMM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000) Laptop Memory Model F4-2133C15D-32GRS

Pros: Decent price for rare memory at this point.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Replaced the original 8GB with this kit. Passed all the memory tests just make sure before installation you have the latest bios it appears Dell is popping a new one every 2 weeks or so.

Well it's samsung so this is the best there is!

SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA 6Gb/s 1x nm Samsung Toggle DDR 2.0 3-Bit MLC NAND Flash Memory (400Mbps) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA 6Gb/s 1x nm Samsung Toggle DDR 2.0 3-Bit MLC NAND Flash Memory (400Mbps) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: Much faster than the older 840. I really don't see the difference between this and the PRO. (Have them both) yes in benchmarks there is a difference but I am unable to tell the difference in real life. So my advise is save your money and buy this one instead of the 840 PRO

Cons: only con I have with this drive is for some reason it does not play good with VMware and virtualization in general so far I am unable to figure why.

$27 shipped! and simply amazing!

Philips Bluetooth Stereo On-Ear White Headphone SHB4000WT/28 with microphone

Pros: Great sound! I can go good 4,5 days without charging so far the best Bluetooth headphones I have ever owned! they are lightweight and very comfortable no squeaking. Overall amazing pair in my opinion! However I am not headphones junky so I can't really go in details but I know this; for $27 I am super, super happy!

Cons: none!

$30 after rebate whaat ???

Corsair Carbide Series 200R Black Steel / Plastic Compact ATX Mid Tower Case
Corsair Carbide Series 200R Black Steel / Plastic Compact ATX Mid Tower Case

Pros: I purchase this one with $20 rebate. Well for $30 you don't buy much this days. At this price point I can't be happier! Well even at $50 I think this is the best there is! I have had Corsair cases before but this one is by far the best! L ooks big but in the same time will fit in a desk and it will accommodate everything you got! And best of all: the look nice and contemporary no ugly plasticy weird looking.

Cons: no standby light
