Why do I need an SSD?

Team Xtreem 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive X131 (TX131128GR01)
Team Xtreem 128GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive X131 (TX131128GR01)

Pros: -Capacity greater than my SSD -Speeds fast enough to completely fill in Approx. 15 mins -Aluminium casing dissapates heat generated fast -Comes with extender cable to compensate for its wide footprint

Cons: -The casing came loose and exposed the internals. However, no damage occured I just have to be careful about how I remove it from a USB port.

Overall Review: This thumb drive is top notch the only reason I gave it the four eggs instead of five is due to the casing coming loose, as it could have severely damaged the internals. I believe I can repair the defect with some super glue, which I plan on doing, just as soon as I have access to some.

Who doesn't love Double D's?

XFX Double D Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card FX-787A-CDFC

Pros: I am not sure what to say about this card because this card does everything a video card should do flawlessly. It might not be the "best" video card, but for the money I cannot imagine there is a better one out there. I really like the Double Dissipation version the card footprint has the room for it, might as well get as much cooling as you can. Let’s be honest with electronics you can never have too much cooling. The lifetime warranty, while might only be useful for 5-10 years due to the momentum of the industry, I think is the best available.

Cons: I noticed that the HDMI port of the card is rather close to the opening in the case, but it doesn't cause any problems. This was also the case with my previouse XFX Radeon. The vent on the back of the card which was implemented for the 6000 series is still there even thought the fans are now axle flow instead of centrifugal, which makes it all but unnecessary.

Overall Review: I would like to mention that even though the vent on the back is probably just for show. I believe that the change in fans was for the better. I have heard that the centrifugal fans while effective at cooling, the sound output rivaled that of a vacuum or a blow-dryer. These fans on the other hand at 100%(which can be set in the software that comes with) are audible, but easily drown out by a a few notches on my speaker system.
