Very Nice Looking RAM Sticks

Pros: Installed the RAM sticks and the machine functions very nicely. Benchmark performance was higher, and the LED lighting makes the motherboard light up that much more. System appears stable. Installing in an ASUS Rampage VI Extreme motherboard and Intel 7920X 2066 processor.
Cons: Price. RAM is not cheap.
Overall Review: Get this item if you want the bragging rights to your PC build, and if you're willing to spend a fortune on a PC system.
Very Economical Large Monitor

Pros: Affordable monitor, with a beautiful exterior. Easy to set up.
Cons: Blurry screen. 1920x1080 on this large of a screen shows the pixilation. Screen appeared to be darker. No DP input.
Overall Review: Had bought this because it was on sale, and appeared to be a great price. Didn't do my research, so lost money on returning it immediately after I received it. Be sure to do your research before you buy.
Very well built and functional

Pros: Fits in a standard 3" drive slot Sturdy and made of hard plastic and feels solid Lightweight
Cons: No top Could be front loading, instead of top loading
Overall Review: Serves its purpose.
Totally loaded and Decked out powerhouse board with Features Galore

Pros: This board is one of the few to support 128GB of RAM, and definitely a screaming unit with so many features that it would take someone who is even more technical than me to appreciate. So many different items in the box, I haven't even began to utilize all of them. The unit is definitely eye candy with the lighting, and seems to perform with no problems. I have not had any boot failure issues so far as I've had with the last ROG Rampage V board. Contains more SATA slots than I'll use, and that new m.2 NVMe slot is a totally fast interface. When it gets to booting windows it is very speedy. The new processor installation bracket is very nice and installs fast and easy.
Cons: Boot time of BIOS is a bit slow, as it probably takes close to 20 seconds for the screen to power on from a cold power off boot. Having to remove the graphics card to access the m.2 NVMe drive is a bit of a pain. Perhaps that slot should be parallel to the cards instead of perpendicular. However, I understand it is a pretty loaded board. The processor install bracket instructions are are a bit limited though, as I didn't realize at first there were 2 for series 5 & 6 processors, and looking at them, I do not see what the difference is. A great idea that needs fine tuning.
Overall Review: I have not benchmarked this system, but it definitely feels like a high end and custom system. By the time you build it completely from the ground up, you'll be around $3k. Although I'm an enthusiast, I probably do not utilize this board for even 1/2 of what its capable of on a daily basis. The last Rampage V board I had for over 2 years, and has been relegated to a backup system. The first unit of this model did come to me with 4 bad memory slots and only recognized memory in the 4 right slots. NewEgg was a champ, and took care of the RMA immediately with a replacement which functions like a charm!
Good Power supply so far

Pros: Received the big box, and opened it up. Happy with the look & feel, and lots of cables & accessories. Removed UPC code for rebate, then installed it in my system shortly after. Socket 2011, 32G RAM, GTX570, 5 hard drive system. Would not power up. MB lights up, and a small click when pushing the power button. Unplugged the PCI-E cables, and the system powers up. Called NewEgg, and dealt with a rep with an attitude. Was transferred to a guy named Chad, and he said they can't do anything, but to contact Corsair, which I was reluctant because of some of the reviews here. Gave me his email, and said if I got no where with Corsair, he would take care of it. Contacted Corsair, received an RMA approval, and a shipping label. 10 days later, received the replacement. Installed it right away, and it powered on. Great job Corsair, and NewEgg!! Aside from the NewEgg rep with the attitude, all went well.
Cons: Just luck of the draw getting a bad unit. Maybe a bad batch, judging from all the negative reviews here. Took 2 weeks, but cost me nothing other than the purchase price.
Overall Review: Good luck with Corsair products so far, and hope that I don't experience some of the negative issues other users here have written about.
Incredible scanner

Pros: Very fast scanner. It moves the sheets thru rapidly, 1 sided or 2 sided scans doesn't seem to matter. Seems that the sheet feeder path being almost straight helps. Had another scanner before this, and the paper curving almost 180 degrees had jams and when it did, removing the paper was so difficult in that you had to open the flatbed and remove the often torn paper. This Xerox scanner you just open the paper cover and any jam would be right there. The card scanner is cool too, and haven't had much chance to use it. The one touch features to scan 1 sided or 2 sided is just too cool. This is the best scanner I have ever had the pleasure of using. I've learned that the $300 models that I have used many of, do not compare to this one. Now I know that price makes a difference.
Cons: Not many, but I'm sure I may find some if I look hard enough. Only had this for a week now.
Overall Review: Very powerful scanner, for documents only. I'm not sure if this is a good photo scanner. I also bought a Canon thin flatbed for photos.
