Great

SAMSUNG SpinPoint T Series HD321KJ 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
SAMSUNG SpinPoint T Series HD321KJ 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Great. Fast and Quiet.

Cons: Only SATA connection (not a con for me, but maybe for some?)

Overall Review: Setup is a 2x320gb RAID 0 It's fast and works well. I think it's a better deal than one 10,000 RPM Hard Drive.

Great product, again from ASUS.

ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card DUAL-GTX1070-O8G
ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Graphics Card DUAL-GTX1070-O8G

Pros: ASUS wins again. Love their stuff. This replaced my old GTX 660 Ti (SLI x 2). Single GTX 1070 outperforms, rendering 4k videos and running Adobe Photoshop CC smoothly. Uses less power than my old GPUs. Nice outputs for several monitors, I have two HDMI cable outputs.

Cons: Export encoding media in Adobe CC surprisingly isn't much faster. I think it's probably more effected by CPU. Realtime rendering while working with media is definitely smoother. Size is 1 inch longer than my old GPU, a little wider too. Wish it was more compact.

Overall Review: Not a gamer, but ran max settings on monster hunter with my i5 9600 no problem, looks amazing.

Works Fine!

SYBA USB 3.0 Type-C PCI-E Card Model SY-PEX20203
SYBA USB 3.0 Type-C PCI-E Card Model SY-PEX20203

Pros: easy install, internal and external USB ports

Cons: drivers work 'ok' with windows 7, wonder if it would have been better recognized on a newer system.

Overall Review: Yes, overall I would recommend

Cooler, but not silent

Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid Cooling System
Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid Cooling System

Pros: Able to overclock my i7 from 3.4turbo3.8, to 4.4Ghz with temps only around 60'C while encoding in adobe premiere. Ambient temp is 27'C and CPU temp is 28'C at idle. Wow! That's crazy, it totally is at ambient temperature.

Cons: Just installed today - backplate takes a little fidgeting to get the screws to line up perfectly for my 1155 socket i7 2600. I I used the following fan which cut down noise about 30% I'd say: COOLER MASTER R4-BMBS-20PK-R0 Blade Master 120mm Case Fan. I wish the silent mode was really silent, but it's not bad.

Overall Review: Take the time to watch a youtube video, the instructions are only so-so. I'd recommend the above fan to use with this as well.

Good, Intel RAID Awkward

ASUS P8P67 DELUXE (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS P8P67 DELUXE (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: 6xSATA connections expandable with 6 PCI(ex) slots good software and bios interface USB3.0 w/front panel integrated audio works well stable so far

Cons: Intel BIOS is awkward. I want to set up RAID-1 mirroring on the intel rapid storage technology. Didn't install the raid drivers on initial OS installation, and think I have to reinstall OS to add in RAID support. First, I'm trying a PS2 keyboard (just ordered), as others have posted that standard USB will not enter the Intel Raid management on system post.

Overall Review: Other than setting up the intel RAID, the board was a rather simple setup and easy install. I'll update this later with final thoughts. If anyone has more details on how to setup intel's RAID, please post a reply.

great

ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I have two of these and both work great. Wi-Fi, many features, stable, many connections

Cons: No speakers for POST failures -- i had a defective memory chip and it took a little more reasoning to figure what was wrong.

Overall Review: both asus and newegg are good at replacing if needed.
