This thing is INSANE!

Antec Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Antec Twelve Hundred Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: This thing is massive, lots of room to work in. No need to worry about huge video cards, or CPU coolers. Low noise, even with 8 case fans, and 12 bays for expantion! Washable filters, and speed control on all of the fans. Great This case has blue LED's on the fans, but it creates a nice look that isn't gawdy or over the top.

Cons: This thing is HUGE and heavy, so if you go to LAN parties, you may want something smaller. Really nitpicking here...

Overall Review: This is hands down the best case I have ever owned. It creates a wind tunnel for your hardware to live in, and with a zalman 9700, I have my Q9550 slightly overclocked to 3 ghz, and am running idle at 26.5 C.

Seagate BarraCuda 7200.11 ST31000333AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Great Price for a 1 TB drive.

Cons: Immediately began making loud clicking, chattering, grinding sounds, and freezes up while making these noises.

Overall Review: I have heard on some of the forums that it could be a firmware problem and that the heads may be calibrating continuously. Either way, in this situation you could loose data, so just be aware that this could be an issue with this drive.

Cons: Lasted 1 year and 9 months.

Overall Review: I can't help but be annoyed it didn't last long.

Keys Stop Responding!

RAZER Lycosa Keyboard
RAZER Lycosa Keyboard

Pros: It looks great, nice feel when pressing keys, backlighting is awesome.

Cons: The keys just randomly stop responding. The only way to fix this, is to unplug the keyboard and plug it back in. This is a huge inconvience, and SHOULD NOT HAPPEN with a gaming keyboard this expensive.

Overall Review: I am not the only one who has had this problem, just read all of the reviews. BEWARE, don't buy this product. It may cause you to rip it to shreads, i'm still cleaning up parts of keys.

If Only It Worked!

Pros: Looks awesome, feels awesome. The back-lighting is amazing. I love this keyboard, except...

Cons: It doesn't work. Like many, many others, the keyboard sometimes just freaks out. Random keys just stop working, or it starts typing by itself like they keys are stuck. You have to constantly unplug the USB, and connect it again.

Overall Review: This just makes me sad, the keyboard has such great features, but you take a big chance when you buy this. You may spend $75, and get a worthless hunk of garbage.

Pros: Nice looking, works great, plenty of power.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I have two of these, and one has been going strong for about two years. Have had no problems with durability or faults. Seem to be very solid power supplies for a decent price.
