COUGAR Gemini S Iron-Gray Gaming Mid Tower Case with a Full-Sized Tempered Glass Cover and Integrated RGB Lighting

Cons: Lighter glass would be nice

Overall Review: I would buy this case again for any build

Most Critical Review

Am I missing something??

TOSHIBA Canvio 3.0 500GB USB 3.0 2.5" Portable External Hard Drive E05A050CAU3XS Black/Silver
TOSHIBA Canvio 3.0 500GB USB 3.0 2.5" Portable External Hard Drive E05A050CAU3XS Black/Silver

Pros: Nice solid cable, small, light.

Cons: Performs at USB 2.0 speeds

Overall Review: I haven't noticed a difference in speed with this drive compared to my WD Passport. It transferred an 8GB file at 24Mbps just like my older USB 2.0 drive does. I'm using a brand new Toshiba laptop with the blue 3.0 USB port, so it's hard to believe it's the laptop.

Audio

MSI P7N Diamond LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard with SoundBlaster X-Fi Extreme Audio

Pros: Looks nice, pretty colors. Open box had everything that the retail one did for only $136. It was a steal for a 780i board.

Cons: No audio connection for your DVD or CD rom drive. How are you suppose to listen to a CD or DVD that's played through your DVD or CDdrives?? What is a JSPD01 connection??

Overall Review: Install your memory before your huge graphics card or else you won't be able to push down the clips

Nice Keyboard

Pros: Cool lighting and gaming pad. Easy to setup.

Cons: Keypad is a pain...you have to turn the numlock on and off all the time because there are special keys on the keypad. The keyboard seems a little pricey. Should be around $50

Overall Review: Wish they would've put those extra keys above the F1-F12 row.

Good for now
