Works better than expected!

Pros: Before I bought this, I was staring at a blank screen. Now I am gaming and getting over 140 FPS. It adds sounds to my computer, I can now hear fan noises and such. Same color as my zip ties once I went out and purchased black zip ties. Plus, this doubles as a good whip if someone mouths off.
Cons: None!
Overall Review: Changed my life.
Surpasses my expectations! Holds a 34" ultrawide.

Pros: -Build Quality -Packaging -Easy Assembly -Motion -Holds a heavy 18.7 lbs (8.4kg) monitor on one of the arms
Overall Review: I knew I was taking a risk by purchasing an unreviewed mount. For the price of a dual mount I wanted to give it a try. I'm glad that I did and I have no regrets. Each side articulates well at 3 points: the base, between the two arms, and the rotate/pitch/tilt joint just behind the VESA mounting plate. I was taking another gamble by using this with my new 34 inch curved ultrawide paired with my original 27 inch widescreen. I have to move the ultrawide back a bit to get both side by side with the 27 inch panel tilted toward me. I knew this would be likely going in as my budget at the time (after spending most of it on a monitor) only allowed for one mount. But it does the job. With a pair of 16:9 widescreens this mount would be absolutely perfect. I can't consider by use-case a con as the specifications are clearly posted. This came well packaged inside of a styrofoam block with each part recessed into its own compartment. It included all required tools, with the tools and screws in a compartmentalized roll-out bag and identified by letter. The instructions were easy to follow with and assembly with the included tools was painless. It also has good cable management. The bottom arms have a plastic cover the slides out to reveal a channel for power and display cable. For the upper arm, they included a plastic insert to hold the cables that matches the style of the rest of the mount. The parts were heavy and felt very solid. I used the clamp mount. Every part of the base plate and vise mechanism was exceedingly strong. The gas piston holds this 18.7 lbs (8.4kg) monitor without issue. It did require that I tightened the tilt a bit. I've had it 5 days now and it holds strong and easy to adjust position. **EDIT: While with my deep desk (29 inches deep) the desk mount makes it tight to have both, I realized if I drill and use the grommet clamp there will be 7 inches between them while still being at the optimal close distance that I like. In that configuration there's plenty of room for a 34" 21:9 and 27" 16:9 and I will do this. Those with ~19" desks will probably find this more then sufficient with the desk clamp mount.
Bought this in October 2009. I still have this and it still works like the day I got it.

Pros: It's Corsair with Japanese caps. 648W on the 12v rail. They're not dishonest and advertise combined wattage like some companies do.
Cons: Non-modular Single PCIe graphics card (2x 6+2). Only support for 8-pin CPU power. (Would actually still work with my new Gigabyte Aorus Elite x570 as its VRM design only requires 2x 4-pin.)
Overall Review: I keep it with my older system that is a hand-me-down. I used it with my main system until just a few weeks ago when I got a Corsair RM1000x modular, which can support 2 cards so I can do PCI pass-through. Nothing wrong with it. I ran it heavy too. I almost never turn off my PC. As up to a few weeks ago I was overclocking components with it and the power was dead-on clean. I could find my stable voltage with only 5mV from instability and I never had issues. Corsair makes a fine PSU and they're the only ones I will ever buy as long as they keep to their high standards.
I know it's no longer sold but I've had this drive now for almost 11 years.

Pros: It's over 10 years old and still works.
Cons: Slow for modern standards. Good for archival but not real-time accessing.
Overall Review: And it still works fine. There's a few bad sectors, as that has set off a SMART error for years but nothing mechanically wrong with it. Cheers to Western Digital. They're the only consumer hard drive I'll buy. Saw this on my order page and, hell, why not give it a review. I did a build back in October 2009 when I was in college. This drive is the only remaining thing I have in my latest build. It has space for three 3.5" drives so why not include it.
Works well

Pros: - It's WD, which IME for the past 2 decades is that they're rock solid. - It's a WD Black - Was packaged well for shipping
Cons: - Arrives as just the drive itself sealed in a anti-static bag. No cables. No thumb screws/track screws for mounting. But that's to be expected from the "bulk" in the title.
Overall Review: Using this drive as a mass storage replacement for two older 512GB WD drives (from 2009) that are still operating. WD is the only consumer HDD brand I will buy. I cleared up a lot of space on my 500GB SSD by moving games I'm currently not playing over to it and backing up a lot of files from older drives. I also configured Windows to use this drive for page files (although rarely needed) to take some routine write/read tasks off the SSD. --Benchmark-- My system: Asrock Extreme4 Z77 board i5-3570K cpu Windows 7 SP1 Drive is connected via SATA3 6GB/s port Benched using CrystalDiskMark 6.0.0 x64 Settings: 1GiB @ 3 passes Sequential 1GiB Read: 151.2 MB/s Random 4KiB (Queues 8, Threads 8) read: 1.934 MB/s Random 4KiB (Q32 T1): 1.990 MB/s Sequential 1GiB Write: 146.4 MB/s Random 4KiB (Q8 T8): 1.809 MB/s Random 4KiB (Q32 T1): 1.720 MB/s ----- Performance is approximately double my old WD Greens. Packaging was good. Inside the bubble mailer was a cardboard box and inside that the drive was wrapped tightly in 2 layers of thick bubble wrap. It could easily take a fall from 6+ feet.
Working well @ XMP 2400

Pros: - Low header - BLUE
Cons: - Core base clock is only 667mhz (DDR3-1333) @ 1.5V until XMP (overclocking) profile is enabled or manually OCd.
Overall Review: This ram, as with all G.Skill, expects you to use the XMP profile to get advertised results. But both sticks are stable for me at the 1200mhz (DDR 2400) @ 1.65V advertised. But it is overclocked. The last G.Skill RAM I had lasted 4 years @ XMP until it had to be down-clocked a few months ago. It had a JEDEC core clock of 800mhz. It would last longer at the default JEDEC setting but RAM is changing all the time and it won't be long until I get a mobo that requires DDR4 anyways. This is definitely not high-end RAM that you can OC into the stratosphere but it's also the best deal on here so that's to be expected. I have not tried this RAM yet with lower timings. ---Comparison--- My previous sticks were 2x4GB G.Skill Sniper Series, 800mhz JEDEC core (DDR3-1600) @ 1.5V w/ XMP 933mhz (DDR3-1866) @ 1.5V (I don't remember the XMP timings but I tihnk it was 12,12,12,31) Benchmark @ XMP: 18,289MB/s read and 18,119MB/s write. with latency @ 30.5ns This RAM in XMP 1200mhz (DDR3-2400) @ 1.65V with timings 11, 13 , 13, 33 is: 23,612MB/s read speed and 21,349 write. Not getting an accurate latency report with MaxMemm, since sometimes it just generates the generic 150ns. It's a definite improvement but not night and day. Only time will tell how stable it is with prolonged use. Packaging: Plastic clamshell inside of a bubble-mailer. That's probably sufficient for RAM. I'll give it a 5-star since anything less these days signifies something is wrong. Everything one expects from G.Skill is here.
