Clear some things up!

Subjekt Pulse Stereo Bluetooth Headphones with Integrated Microphone PLS-9600
Subjekt Pulse Stereo Bluetooth Headphones with Integrated Microphone PLS-9600

Pros: Sturdy design, good battery life, par quality for the sale price I got for them. Works great with my Samsung Focus S Windows phone, all buttons work perfect, easy sync.

Cons: Expensive when not on sale

Overall Review: Just to clear some things up, NewEgg isn't selling these, a separate company sells them through NewEgg. Hense the lack of details on the page. Again, normal price ($129) not worth them, but when they were on sale for $50 not a bad set of headphones. I think GoGroove sell the exact same pair rebranded for around $50, so try those. Here are all the details that most people want that are missing: Model: PLS-9600 Bluetooth version: 2.1 Bluetooth profiles: Headset, hands free, A2DP, AVRCP Range: 10 Meters ( Verified ) Working time: Music- 10 hours / Talk - 11 hours ( A little exagerated, more like 6-8 but still good! )

Solid and Clean

Athena Power BP-15827SAC an 1 x 5.25" External Drive Bay to 8 x 2.5" SSD / HDD Hot-Swap SAS / SATA Backplane Module - Transfer Rate Up to 6 Gbps SAS (I, II) / SATA (I, II, III) - Drive Thickness Up to 7mm - OEM

Pros: - Most sturdy hot swap bay I've ever used as a non-professional, parts are all made of metal, even the levers and drive face plates, I'm used to seeing plastic wobbly ones - Quiet fan - Fit easily into a 5.25in drive bay I had a DVD player in, no issue with sizing or orientation in a regular ATX case - Supplied all of the screws for mounting drives and module into case

Cons: - I didn't pay attention at first, I was using this as a kind of dumping ground for old SSDs on a Plex server but it only fits a certain height size SSD, I see it calls it out right in the title now. It fit some Samsung EVO 840s PROs and Kingston SSDNow V300s but it did not fit some older OCz Solid 3's I had so be sure before you buy

Overall Review: Would definitely recommend, easy installation, sturdy design, quiet. As long as you're using 7mm height SSDs

Classic feel that doesn't disappoint

Pros: Just a solid built mouse that has exactly what you need. Not too going on, not too little. Great response, great feel, custom weights let me weigh it down how I like, sturdy design, easy to clean. Still working great.

Cons: None

Great headset for the sale price and small ears

Pros: Picked these up on Shell Shocker for $65. I read extensively all of the bad reviews because of how tight they felt they were or how they hurt their ears. I have a big head but littler ears and I can wear them all day no problem. Play CS:GO, ESO, Titanfall lately and have no problem with comfort. Sound amazing, mic is great, for the $65 prize tag these are a steal. Modular cables feels comfortable, free USB sound card, heavy duty case all pros.

Cons: These would never be worth their original $300 price tag. They're great, but not THAT great. I would say anything less than $100-$120 is a good buy.

Overall Review: I guess I'm the unpopular opinion. I wanted to post this because I took the chance after all the "uncomfortable" based reviews and I can truly say, maybe it's just if you have big ears, because they're not uncomfortable to me.

Best $100 I could find

XFX FX-775A-ZNP4 Radeon HD 7750 Core Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready  Video Card
XFX FX-775A-ZNP4 Radeon HD 7750 Core Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Pros: Best spec'd and single slot GPU with audio and HDMI I could find right now and sitll under my $100 mark. Playing Skyrim on High settings at 720p perfectly. Happy with the purchase. Install was easy, required no power cable. Also looks nice, modern.

Cons: No cons

Overall Review: Required a card that was a single slot that would run current games satisfactory, and had HDMI with Audio. Had everything for under $100.

Gets the job done

Pros: Had a APU laying around and wanted an HDMI out motherboard for a media center PC. Not a fancy motherboard, but works and gets the job done and had been working great. BIOs is configurable enough for a lower end motherboard, I wouldn't expect more from it.

Cons: PCIe 1x and 16x are RIGHT next to each other so this limits the graphics card styles to single slot if you want to use both. I have a RAID card in, so I had to find a nice XFX Radeon HD 7750 that fits only into one slot. Limits upgrades though.
