Most Favorable Review

Great PSU

CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850 V2 850W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850 V2 850W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply

Pros: It's really quiet and powers all my things. The cables are wrapped, which is a nice plus, too. This has plenty of power to run two 6870s and an overclocked 2600k.

Cons: Not modular, but I knew that when I bought it.

Most Critical Review

Failed after only 3 months

Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SV300S37A/120G
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SV300S37A/120G

Pros: Decently fast, brought new life to an aging Dell Inspiron laptop, inexpensive.

Cons: Failed after only three months of normal use (web browsing, word documents, etc). Sending it back to Kingston ASAP. Like others, it starting freezing and shutting down Windows. It was tried on multiple machines with the same problem, even though the SMART data came back completely healthy.

It's sloooowww

Transcend JetFlash 500 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Green) TS16GJF500
Transcend JetFlash 500 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Green) TS16GJF500

Pros: It holds a bunch of space

Cons: After a month or so of use, it became unbearably slow (I'm talking 5-10MB/s slow), making putting on large files (why I got it) useless.

Coolest. Thing. Ever.

5.25" Touch Screen Fan Controller
5.25" Touch Screen Fan Controller

Pros: It controls the speeds of my fans really well and makes my case nice and quiet. It's touch screen and looks so frikkin cool in my Antec 300. Hasn't caught fire yet, either. I've got 4 fans hooked up to it and it's running great. The ability to turn off the stupid beeping is great, too.

Cons: Makes an absolute mess of cable management. Zip ties are a MUST. The viewing angle isn't the best, but it's manageable. Only slows fans to 40% then off.

Overall Review: For the price, you can't go wrong.

Sexy and fast.

XFX Double D Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-687A-ZDFC
XFX Double D Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-687A-ZDFC

Pros: It's a sexy, sexy lookin thing. Fits fine in my Antec 300. It's fast for the price and a second one would make it even faster. Runs games like butter.

Cons: It's not a 6990.

Fast and overclocks well

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM

Pros: Using them in tandem with an ASUS P8P67 Pro and a i7-2600k and they're fast. CAS8 is great. It's currently overclocked to 1720 stable. The blue is pretty.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I'll probably pick up another 8GB kit of these down the line.
