Most Favorable Review

Great top of the line disc reader

ASUS Black 12X Blu-ray Burner SATA BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS
ASUS Black 12X Blu-ray Burner SATA BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS

Pros: Reads and writes Blu Ray, not too loud, fast as lightning, good price, comes with several 25 gb discs

Cons: None, except it adds quite a bit of noise In my opinion, but keep in mind the rest of my PC is almost completely silent. I will look for a way to either disable it in the device manager until I need it, or see about unplugging it temporarily. Still a great value and not near enough to remove an egg.

Overall Review: I still reccomend this product completely. If you're looking into getting it, do so. No regrets here.

I regret not looking into HDD pricing more

Pros: It's a great HDD, nice speeds, fits nicely into my drive bay, reliable, good brand, really cheap.

Cons: I could have gotten a 2TB or better for just a few bucks more, should've looked into it more, not a con of this product, but more of my con

Overall Review: Look into HDD pricing more, but if you're absolutely sure 1TB is enough, then this is a great choice, but you may be able to get it a bit cheaper.

Wow what a difference!

SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PD256BW
SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PD256BW

Pros: I love this SSD! It's got the fastest speeds of any other SSD, and it's priced at a very competitive price. This is my first SSD that I've owned, and I love it. It boots my PC up faster than I ever thought was possible, can't wait to see how it handles Ubuntu once 14.04 comes out! I cannot stress how great it is. I play BF4 and wow does it load fast! 30-50 seconds and I'm in, while most people have to wait anywhere from 60-180 seconds sometimes! I recommend getting a 128GB version of this if you're just using one OS, but if you're dual booting like me, get the 256 edition and half the partitions. I bought a 1TB hard drive (regret only getting 1 TB now, as if I had looked into that a bit more I could have got a 2TB for about the same price) for your files and stuff that doesn't matter how quickly it loads, as the difference from office files would only be a second or two minimal (just make sure to defrag a HDD often).

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you're thinking about getting this, do so now!

Amazing mouse, no regrets

Logitech G400s 910-003589 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Gaming Mouse
Logitech G400s 910-003589 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Gaming Mouse

Pros: I LOVE this mouse! It has amazing comfort, and I love their gaming app. It took just seconds to reprogram one of the buttons, and I setup my DPI so that I could go from 2000 to 200 in one click of a button for sniper shots. Then, with one click of a button, I can go back to my normal setting. I can set up to 5 different DPI settings for different games or situations. A very nifty feature. Once you start to use this and or the back and forward buttons, you'll never go back to a mouse that doesn't have these features. With a DPI of up to 4000, it'll take me a while to get used to those speeds, if I ever do. I cannot stress the comfort and precision that comes with this mouse enough. With it's 1ms response time, it's great for gaming, as every millisecond counts. It also has a low start time, so it'll start tracking your movements before other mice will. Best rodent I've ever owned.

Cons: It took a bit of getting used to, as they want your ring finger to sit kind of halfway on the mouse and halfway off. After maybe 5 hours or so of gaming and a little bit of time browsing the web, I'm really happy with where the fingers sit now. Most people don't like the fact that it forces you to have a certain grip, as it will annoy either their pinkie or ring finger, but I'm glad that they force you to use it, as I think it's helped me a lot. I was considering getting the Razer Deathadder 2013, and at first I regretted getting this mouse, but after some good usage time I love this rodent.

Overall Review: If you're comparing this to the Deathadder, get this. you won't be dissapointed. It's ergonomics are amazing in my opinion, and the sensor on this mouse is actually slightly better than the Deathadder.

Great PSU, top of the line and cheapest in class!

CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850M 850 W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Semi Modular High Performance Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850M 850 W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Semi Modular High Performance Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Great PSU, and you can pretty much power anything with 850 watts. I got this one because I plan on SLIing my 780Tis in the future so I don't have to get another card altogether. I like how it's semi modular, as I do prefer that over modular. I used everything that was connected by default, and at the moment I have not had to add any cables.

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you're in need of a lot of wattage and want a great quality low price high wattage PSU, this is for you. Buy it now!

Great Case, but a few things to watch out for

XION XION Gaming Series XON-985-BK Black with BLUE  LED Light Steel/ Plastic,  Meshed Front Panel design. ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
XION XION Gaming Series XON-985-BK Black with BLUE LED Light Steel/ Plastic, Meshed Front Panel design. ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This is a great case. IT'S HUGE!!! Great for airflow. It comes with 3 120mm fans, 2 in the front, on in the back. The two in the front light up blue when they're on, and can be controlled by a switch in the front panel. I love the glass panel on the side also. It's a very heavy duty case, and it sits a good 3-4 inches off the ground. It has several fan filters, so dust isn't a major concern, except from the top, as it is somewhat open there. Speaking of that, I love that open top feature, because any hot air remaining in this case will just go out the top, and not a lot of dust will get in from up there. I may add another dust filter up there myself too. This case is also a great value, as I snatched it for only 40 bucks! It's also one of the only sub 100$ cases to have 2 USB 2.0 and 2 USB 3.0 ports on the front. It has a second fan controller type thingy, but mine does not do anything...

Cons: None, except that I've heard that the wires can come undone easily, and you have to fix it yourself.

Overall Review: If you're thinking about getting this case, get it now! If anyone knows what the second fan controller thingy does, please send me a message at [email protected]
