Most Favorable Review

Great card, awful software.

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support ATX Graphics Card GTX 1070 GAMING 8G

Pros: -This card is exactly the same as the "X" version, all you need to do is flash the bios. - With proper clocks speeds, you can destroy all the benchmarks. - Will run any game out today without a hiccup.

Cons: - MSI App is terrible, too bad if you want any color other than red. - Default fan profile will roast your GPU if you are not paying attention. Fans don't kick on until 60C, and there is no way to stop it from tripping the thermal limit.

Overall Review: Don't get me wrong, this card is amazing coming from a 970. There is no comparison. I honestly cannot believe the MSI software is so bad, with the exception of Afterburner. If you want to tune you card at all, and get rid of the default fan profile, you need Afterburner. I cannot take any eggs off for the MSI app part, because I don't even use it. Red LED's are fine with me and match my color scheme. Other than that, I highly recommend this card to anyone looking to upgrade or for VR.

Good cheap case

Pros: - Lots of room - Really cheap - Decently made - Mine had a fan controller

Cons: - Cheap

Overall Review: - I would recommend this case to someone who needs something cheap. - Using this to swap my NAS over from a small form factor, so I need all those HDD's trays.

Massive Storage

Pros: - Huge capacity - Very fast - Work great in my NAS

Cons: -LOUD, like way louder than my previous Red drives. Not a big deal since the NAS is in another room.

Overall Review: Other than the noise I am very happy. All 5 of the drives I got worked straight of the box, no bad sectors.

Great fans for radiators

Fractal Design Venturi HP Series Black Fluid Dynamic Bearing High Pressure PWM 120mm Radiator/Heatsink Optimized Fan

Pros: Great airflow Very quiet even at 100%. Perfect for water-cooling.

Cons: Rubber mounts are a little tricky.

Overall Review: I would definitely recommend these for someone looking for radiator fans and doesn't want to pay Noctua prices. The rubber mounts do kinda flex when you put a screw through them and if you are not paying attention you will poke a hole in your radiator with the screw. So as long as you watch what you are doing the fans will work great.
