Great deal
Pros: Feature-rich without breaking the bank. - The price is right - plenty of SATA III ports - 8 DIMM slots - user-friendly BIOS
Cons: none
Overall Review: i7 3820 Gigabyte GTX 560 SOC 32GB (8x4GB) Kingston HyperX 1600Mhz Corsair HX750 Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus Mountain Mods Pinnacle 24 case Zero problems so far. RAM xmp loaded right up, CPU overclock was super simple.
The best
Pros: - Fast - Low profile - Zero bugs/problems - Came with usb/SATA adapter
Cons: - a little more pricey than others
Overall Review: I've used the Crucial m4, the OWC Mercury Electra 6G (Sandforce controller), both of which have been perfectly reliable but neither are nearly as fast as the Samsung 830. Being 7mm thin, the Samsung fit into my Lenovo X1, and boot time is ~10 seconds. It's a great drive, and worth the extra money.
Great monitor
Pros: - 1920x1200 - Great OSD/menu options, such as input switching - No dead pixels - Stand is really sturdy and easy to adjust - USB hub works great - Looks good throughout the brightness range - Design is basically invisible
Cons: - sometimes takes an extra few seconds to boot up compared to my NEC P221w LCD, but that's nitpicking - being LED, once it's up it's up (no warm-up time like on my NEC)
Overall Review: Got it for under $350 at provantage, but Neweggs price is fine.
Great drive
Pros: Fast, great price
Cons: none
perfect
Pros: - works - xmp profile loaded effortlessly in my ASRock BIOS - low profile: heatsinks aren't comically large, leaving plenty of room for my cpu cooler - the price is right
Cons: - none
Overall Review: got 8 sticks, running at stock speeds/voltage. System: i7 3820 ASRock X79 Extreme 6 32GB (8x4GB) Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600Mhz CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ Gigabyte SOC Geforce GTX 560 OWC Mercury Electra 6G 120GB SSD Crucial M4 128GB SSD Mountain Mods Pinnacle 24 case
