Going strong after 6 years!
Pros: Going strong after 6 years of every day use, beautiful picture, excellent size I still love it!
Cons: Heavy, really heavy, you have to set and forget, you cannot skip unconnected inputs, medium sound quality, it is not 4K!
Overall Review: This TV is paired with Denon amplifier in a 5.1 environment, even though we have the best Comcast plan, we rarely watch live TV, we have the latest X1 set top box properly configured and the picture it is just awesome, the main driver of this TV is a home theater PC system with a Synology storage server, 1 DS1812+ and 2 DX513 for a total of 50 TB of data storage, intel I7 extreme and a EVGA 12G-P4-3999-KR GeForce GTX TITAN Z 12GB 768-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 powered by XBMC! We fine tunned this TV using Disney's WOW BluRay, (strongly recommend if you have a flat panel TV) After 6 years of hard work this TV will be ship to my mum's and will be replaced by a Sharp LC-80LE650U 80-inch Aquos HD 1080p 120Hz Smart LED TV!
DOA
Pros: I am surprised this HD was dead on arrival, this rarely happens to me, I am not a fan of any brand and WD is known to be good, hopefullly the replacement drive adheres to modern day quality standards.
Cons: I was not able to use this hard drive since it was defective, what more can I say?
Overall Review: I should say that I purchase 7 in this order and the rest of them are working as expected.
No as expected
Pros: Big, plenty of space, it holds EATX MBs and big power supplies.
Cons: No Front audio jacks that is almost a deal breaker, it is made of very thin aluminun, painted black, super easy to scratch.
Overall Review: Over all, this is a good case and I knew upfront that it did not had the front audio ports, as the previous reviews, Newegg did updated the information by the time I made my purchase. (Yes, in the beginning, it stated it had the front jacks) Thank you for reading, please forgive my poor English.
I cannot believe this happened!
Pros: None That I can think of... I am surprised this PSU was dead on arrival. I have a couple more and they are working fine.
Cons: I purchased one of this for my son, he saved for almost 2 years to build a powerful gaming PC, so after he was able to purchase all of the components, we assembled the PC and the PSU was dead, yes we did all the trouble shooting, (I am a Telecommunications and Electronics Engineer) but I guess I'll be testing everything in advance from now on, lesson learned.
Overall Review: Contacted Corsair Technical Service, they granted a quick RMA with expedite replacement and a prepaid UPS label for returning the bad unit. I believe Corsair's customer support is A+. I never had the experience of receiving something defective in the past, especially from a reputable brand. My advice, test your equipment in advance if possible. Thank you and please forgive my poor English.
Works great for me
Pros: Low heat, low noise
Cons: Expensive, I ordered 2 and one the time came to pay, I got the notice that the free hard drives were no longer available and were automatically removed from my shopping cart.
Overall Review: They take 2 slots per card, if you xfire them, they pretty much take over the MB. Please pardon my english.
Not worth the $$$
Pros: It came in nice package, lots of goodies, works ok when not under heavy loads
Cons: First board I received was defective, could not recognize 6 gigs of ram if memory running @ at 1800 and or above. It booted with memory running at 1600 but sound never worked. Quick RMA through newegg. 2nd. Board OK, still not recognizing 6 gigs in triple channel if speed @ 1800. (using OCZ Reaper HPC 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 15000) Triple Channel Kit)
Overall Review: As an Electronics and communications Engineer with a Masters in digital communications and several certifications from internationally recognized organizations, I was expecting more from this motherboard, at least to work under manufacturer specifications. I will never buy again from this company. Please pardon my English, since it is my third language.
