Great Buy!!

Kingston HyperX SH100S3B/120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (HyperX Upgrade Kit)
Kingston HyperX SH100S3B/120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (HyperX Upgrade Kit)

Pros: Awesome and very Fast! WEI score of 7.9 after changing BIOs to ACHI. Have two of these suckers and it's been working no problems for a month (24x7) so far.

Cons: SSD needs to be partitioned with CD before use. Clean install works the best, don't do the clone hard drive/ shrink it didn't work for me. Switch to ACHI in the BIOs setting to get extra performance boost from WEI 7.8 (out of box) to 7.9.

Tricky mobo

GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-HD3 FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-HD3 FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Small mother board (saves space), allows overclocking and came in the bundle package.

Cons: Issue with the mother board setup. It's a bit tricky and you have to enable the advance/enhance memory feature in the bios to enable your second RAM slot or else it will only read the first slot or make it dual. I had 2x4GB RAM but when I first installed it would only reconize 1x4GB RAM but once you enable the advance/enhanced memory setting in the BIOs it will read the second slot. The manual was vague in what the advnace memory setting did in the booklet.

Works

Pros: The bag works!! We took it snorkling and the bag was completely water proof. It took picture clearly and the best part was you are able to take off the lens part.

Cons: It's a pain to get the camera in the bag and in the right spot. It takes pictures well in the water but its hard to see the camera lcd screen through the bag in the middle of the day without turning up the screen brightness.

Great buy

Pros: Cool mouse, love the green led and glowing features.

Cons: The mouse 9 buttons are kind of useless, its hard to press the mouse buttons in intense gaming situations without losing grip of the mouse aiming.
