Awesome SSD

SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA 6Gb/s 1x nm Samsung Toggle DDR 2.0 3-Bit MLC NAND Flash Memory (400Mbps) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA 6Gb/s 1x nm Samsung Toggle DDR 2.0 3-Bit MLC NAND Flash Memory (400Mbps) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Pros: This SSD was a great addition to my PC, great features, easy to use GUI. Very Fast, and so far reliable.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: I had some issues with windows 7, it would not install updates until I ran the OS optimization by Samsung. You should setup the SSD settings before doing any other setup on your fresh install.

Most Critical Review

Drops connections after 10 minutes

ASUS RT-AC56U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1200 Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n Asus Certified
ASUS RT-AC56U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1200 Gigabit Router IEEE 802.11ac, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n Asus Certified

Pros: It looks cool, has a ton of awesome features.

Cons: 1. It drops the wireless connection every 10 minutes, i was only able to rectify this by turning the 2.4Ghz connection to "Legacy" Mode, which disables the wireless N. I checked for a firmware update to help with this, but I'm running the latest - 3.0.0.4.378_4585. 2. It doesn't have MAC priority filtering, I consider that a serious flaw.

Overall Review: I'll probably RMA this.

Great SSD Tray

BYTECC BRACKET-250 2.5" HDD/SSD Metal Mounting Kit
BYTECC BRACKET-250 2.5" HDD/SSD Metal Mounting Kit

Pros: It's Metal, and it's slim, and it is sturdy.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Perfect for SSD's into a 3.5" bay. It's metal so it can absorb the heat not like other similarly priced plastic models.

Awesome PSU

PC Power & Cooling ModXStream Pro Series 600 Watt 80+ Semi-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ600MXSP)
PC Power & Cooling ModXStream Pro Series 600 Watt 80+ Semi-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ600MXSP)

Pros: I have purchased 4 of these over the past 3 years. None of them have failed, the modular is very nice, and I have never build a rig where the cords couldn't reach and look nice. I've also gotten a rebate from OCZ every time and while they do take forever, I have gotten every one of them.

Cons: Rebate process is slow.

Overall Review: I would reccomend and purchase this PSU again, and I probably will.

Great Case with only a few minor flaws

Pros: The pros of htis case outweigh the negatives, but the case is sturdy, sleak, and had impressive cooling with low noise. There is ample room on the inside, and cable management is above average.

Cons: The negatives are that there are no quick swap brackets for HDD's or Optical drives. It's rather annoying to have to screw them in, I thought technology has moved past this. I also kind of dislike the bottom mounted PSU, but I knew that going into this.

Overall Review: I would def buy this case again, as I said before the positives outweigh the negatives.

Works good but too loud

Pros: It's Fast, It Works, Good price.

Cons: It is SUPER loud.

Overall Review: I replaced a failed HDD on a newer HP desktop with this. This HDD was louder than all the fans in my custom gaming rig an the HP which was sitting right next to it. It was so loud that I thought no way could this be functional. However it took the image and is currently working. Even the customer said "is it suppose to sound like that?" I would not buy again...
