Most Favorable Review

Works well enough for the price

SAMSUNG Black 16X DVD-ROM 40X CD-ROM SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model TS-H353C
SAMSUNG Black 16X DVD-ROM 40X CD-ROM SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model TS-H353C

Pros: It works.

Cons: None

Overall Review: The DVD drive I received has an HP sticker on the bottom. Doesn't bother me as long as it works!

Most Critical Review

Just terrible

WD Blue 320GB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 16MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD3200AAKX
WD Blue 320GB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6 Gb/s 16MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD3200AAKX

Pros: none

Cons: Upon powering up the brand new system I installed this drive into, it emitted a quiet, low-pitched whine followed by a couple of clicks. SATA connector cables felt too loose even when on the whole way; this drive came unplugged too easily. Submitted an RMA as soon as I knew for sure it was the problem.

Overall Review: I've never had very good experiences with WD, but this one takes the cake. I get it out of the box and it's broken before it touches anything. If you want a working hard drive, get something else.

Awesome for MMORPGaming

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N550D5-1GI
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N550D5-1GI

Pros: Great quality graphics, runs RIFT at Ultra settings and higher with no frame lag... and I haven't even overclocked it yet. Works like a dream.

Cons: The mounting bracket on my card was slightly offset and didn't allow the card to seat fully into the PCIe x16 slot.

Overall Review: I ended up removing the mounting bracket and found my own means of keeping the card from moving.

Great fans

Rosewill RFA-120-BL - 120mm Computer Case Cooling Fan with LP4 Adapter - Blue Frame & 4 Blue LED Lights, Sleeve Bearing, Silent Case Fan

Pros: The LEDs are bright and match my case and PSU fans. These fans run smoothly and keep everything very cool.

Cons: A little bit noisy, but that's how you know they work!

Overall Review: PSU is an Apevia 700W blue LED power supply, case is a Rosewill Gear X3 ATX Mid tower.

Great drive

HGST HDS721050CLA362 (0F10381) 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
HGST HDS721050CLA362 (0F10381) 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: 7200 RPM, 500GB capacity IT WORKS! Excellent drive for the price, considering the flood drove up hard drive prices like crazy.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Bought this drive after receiving a Western Digital drive that was DOA. I love this drive and couldn't be happier. I don't need a ton of storage (I've only ever used maybe 120GB in the past) but I love having the ability to store as much as I could ever need.

Gets the job done

APEVIA ATX-AQ700W-BK 700 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply
APEVIA ATX-AQ700W-BK 700 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply

Pros: Enough cables for everything, works well and stays cool.

Cons: The cables I'm not using were hard to manage until I wrapped them up and bound them with zip ties.

Overall Review: I bought this power supply to go with a Rosewill case. The blue LEDs of this PSU match the front case fan's LEDs so it makes for a very good-looking tower from front to back.
