Decent case

Rosewill CRUISER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Side Panel Window, comes with Four Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Top Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Rear 120mm Fan, 1x Side Blue LED 190mm Fan
Rosewill CRUISER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Side Panel Window, comes with Four Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Top Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Rear 120mm Fan, 1x Side Blue LED 190mm Fan

Pros: Good space, good looking, 4 fans, 4 usb ports in front and esata

Cons: no usb 3.0, limited cable management, side fan doesnt really fit with big cpu coolers

Overall Review: If you dont have many 5.25 drives, you can shove some of the cables into that space. I also had to cut out small part out of the side fan to fit my CM hyper 212+.

Most Critical Review

Not bad

Sonicare Essence 5300 Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush
Sonicare Essence 5300 Rechargeable Sonic Toothbrush

Pros: Better than normal manual brush. Brushes teeth pretty well.

Cons: 1. 2min timer - This is practically useless. Let's say it turned off at 2min and you missed a spot so you brushed for 30 sec more. Next time you turn it on, it will be only 1.5 min. This bad cycle repeats. Thus, useless. 2. Price of heads - Don't know why but each head is $10~15 at stores. Ora*- B ones are about half of that price. 3. Water trapping - There is an internal space between the head and the body. Water will be trapped in there and it will drip out while you are brushing. Very annoying.

Overall Review: I own this and also an Ora*-B brand one. This is a pretty good tooth brush in terms of keeping your teeth clean. But the price and couple annoying things like that, I'd rather go with Ora*-B ones. PS - It's funny how I am not allowed to put in competitor's name in here... What is this communism?

Avoid Ver.006

6-Pack Mining Dedicated Riser Mining Rig USB RISER PCIe 6-Pin PCI-E 16x to 1x Powered Adapter Card w/ 60cm USB 3.0 Cable & PCI-E to SATA Power - GPU Mining Ethereum ETH Zcash ZEC For Bitcoin Machine
6-Pack Mining Dedicated Riser Mining Rig USB RISER PCIe 6-Pin PCI-E 16x to 1x Powered Adapter Card w/ 60cm USB 3.0 Cable & PCI-E to SATA Power - GPU Mining Ethereum ETH Zcash ZEC For Bitcoin Machine

Pros: it works until it doesnt

Cons: - within 2 month of use, had 2 failures. - Adhesive on the bottom pad on all units came off due to the heat in the miner. - I am not sure if this is related to this version of risers. However, one of the risers where it connects to the SATA power melted the SATA power adapter and a wire fell off. Never had this issue with version 008. I take it that this item is manufactured at a factory and rebadged by various sellers. I would avoid ver.006 all together. I had great experience with 009.

Overall Review: The seller sent me 2 replacements. It took about 2~3 weeks via snail international mail. They were also ver.006. I dont expect these to last long either. I already bought some ver.009 to replace defective units. I guess these 006 can be back ups.

Another update after RMA

PNY Optima 2.5" 480GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSD7SC480GOPT-RB

Pros: At this point, none, other than the fact that it was cheap.

Cons: after 6 month of use, from july-dec, it failed so I had it RMA. One came in mail looked brand new sealed. However... this one is DOA. If I were you, I would stir clear of this one and probably any PNY SSDs all together. - First one failed within 6 month - Second one DOA

Overall Review: avoid

It works

SYBA GamesterGear P3210 Rumble Effect PC & PS3 Wired Gaming Headset
SYBA GamesterGear P3210 Rumble Effect PC & PS3 Wired Gaming Headset

Pros: I got this headset to use with PS4 and PC. - It has pretty decent sound quality for the price. I would say comparable to most $100-ish headsets. - All the features do work. But it requires very specific setting and lots of work and wires.

Cons: Ok where do I start... - When using with PC It requires both USB and AUX to be connected for the "chat" and "game" volume dials to work properly. USB will show up as a separate audio output which you will have to set as "Default communication device" and the AUX will be your PC sound. This has to be configured again every time you plug it in so if you need to use it on two devices, it is probably too much work. - When using with PS4 This again requires USB connection to the PS4 and AUX connection with the TV. My PS4 and TV are pretty far apart so this causes a major problem. - Also for the TV->headset connection, RCA to 3.5mm AUX cable is supplied by the manufacturer. But my TV does not have RCA out, only AUX out. This means I have to plug AUX directly into the TV, and it mutes the TV. I dont want to walk to the TV and unplug the headset whenever I stop playing PS4. That is just stupid. In conclusion, if you just want to use it as PC headset, plug it in and never take it out, yes, this is a decent headset. With PS4, it is just not practical to make it work. However, if you can live with just one master volume dial, not game and chat separately, it should be fine.

Ok product, missing item, no customer support

Thermaltake Frio Overclocking-Ready Intel Core i7 (6-core ready) & i5 Compatible Five 8mm Heatpipes Dual 120mm Fans Intel & AMD Universal CPU Cooler CLP0564 - Retail
Thermaltake Frio Overclocking-Ready Intel Core i7 (6-core ready) & i5 Compatible Five 8mm Heatpipes Dual 120mm Fans Intel & AMD Universal CPU Cooler CLP0564 - Retail

Pros: The fan can be cranked up to go really fast. Cools ok even with one fan (see cons and comments)

Cons: 1. Fan speed knob can only be accessed if you open up the case. So it is adjustable only if you are willing to pop the hood every time you do it. 2. Loud. By loud it sounds like a f-21 passing by when you put it at its max. 3. Was missing parts (2nd fan and connector). 4. Been a month since RMA and no response from support what so ever

Overall Review: Even with one fan it has fairly good cooling. However, customer support fails at responding. Contacted them 3 times, nothing but the automated response for RMA request
