Great Card

Auzen X-Fi Bravura 7.1 Sound Card
Auzen X-Fi Bravura 7.1 Sound Card

Pros: Fantastically built card perfect for those using headphone or analog multichannel audio.

Cons: Uses the Creative CA0110 audio chip and not the more powerful EMU20K2. As such this card does software emulation of many abilities and only supports EAX4.0 specs. Docking a start because of this, the card would be a monster with the proper audio chip driving it.

Overall Review: I bought this by mistake instead of the Auzen Forte which is geared more towards gaming. If you use quality headphones for audio or movie playback its hard to beat the bravura. Just be careful to get the right card for your needs.

Maximus VIII Extreme Owners Beware

G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 4000 (PC4 32000) Desktop Memory Model F4-4000C19D-16GTZ
G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 4000 (PC4 32000) Desktop Memory Model F4-4000C19D-16GTZ

Pros: Super fast Looks neat well built

Cons: My Maximus VIII Extreme absolutely hates this kit and will not run nearly the speeds advertised Only a single xmp profile - no options between ddr4-2133 and ddr4-4000

Overall Review: My fault for not verifying with the QVL before purchasing.

Western Digital Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: These drives are great, and work wonders in a raid after some tweaking.

Cons: Noisy, not exactly a quiet drive.

Overall Review: Be sure to use wdtler program to set the tler time to 3 or 5 so they don't randomly drop out of the raid. After that is done they work just like an RE drive

Very Durable

CORSAIR Flash Voyager 2GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) CMFUSB2.0-2GB
CORSAIR Flash Voyager 2GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) CMFUSB2.0-2GB

Pros: Recently ran this thing over with a vehicle on accident. And it sat out in the cold for 24 hours before being found. Straightened out the USB connecter and plugged it in, still works perfectly. As durable as they come.

Cons: Cap is easily misplaced.

Overall Review: Corsair makes a great product, and Newegg got it here super fast.
