Solid XMP Compatibility

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C11D-16GXM
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C11D-16GXM

Pros: G.skill Ripjaws X remains to be one of my favorite Brands for RAM. I have Used this RAM in multiple speeds and never had an Issue and they look great. My personal PC used 2400MHz RAM (OC) and I couldn't get my G.skills Z series RAM to run my dz77ga-70k / 3770K setup @ 2400MHz XMP Profile. I ended up changing them out for these months later and the XMP Profiles worked perfectly. Of course you can tweek the timings if the default XMP doesn't work to start with your specific setup. I prefer the easy way out when it comes to RAM timings.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Ripjaws X and Ares series kits seem to have the best XMP profiles from my experience.

Trash

Maxtor QuickView 6L250R0 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA133 / ATA-7 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
Maxtor QuickView 6L250R0 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA133 / ATA-7 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Zero

Cons: *Quickview*, if you have any doubts please research first. I sooo wish I did, this Drive has maybe been the worst decision of my life. Sounds like a lawn mower, blue screen when installing applications in Windows.

Overall Review: Thank lord it was only 24.99 *Barf...

Meh

CableMod AIO Sleeving Kit Series 1 for Corsair H115i v2, H100i v2, H80i v2, H110i GTX & H100i GTX   - CARBON
CableMod AIO Sleeving Kit Series 1 for Corsair H115i v2, H100i v2, H80i v2, H110i GTX & H100i GTX - CARBON

Pros: Good idea, Sleeve is sturdy and looks ok.

Cons: Clips are pretty hard to clip in. I don't know if it's any easier on any other AIO but the H100i V2 even without the cloth covers over the tubes is a pain. My hands were raw after 3 clips.

Awesome Fans

ID-COOLING PL-12025-B Blue LED 120mm Fan with De-vibration Rubber, 1600RPM, 60CFM, Low Noise & Big Airflow
ID-COOLING PL-12025-B Blue LED 120mm Fan with De-vibration Rubber, 1600RPM, 60CFM, Low Noise & Big Airflow

Pros: Awesome Fans, they push good amount of air and they look great as well. LEDs are bright enough but not to crazy to over power the look. I plan to buy more to fill up my case.

Cons: Not a con at all but If anything I'd have to say add a PWM version of these fans. Be pretty sweet on a watercooling radiator.

Overall Review: They will be switching to Colored De-vibration Dampers. For example Blue fans will have Blue Dampers instead of White. They'll be updating their stock on Here soon so If you need Whites better get them now.

Really Good for everything

ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM-PU17-BU Blue Intel Atom N550(1.50GHz) Dual Core 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 250GB HDD Netbook
ASUS Eee PC 1015PEM-PU17-BU Blue Intel Atom N550(1.50GHz) Dual Core 10.1" WSVGA 1GB Memory 250GB HDD Netbook

Pros: I purchased one of these off Newegg in 2011...After owning the older atom 1.66GHz 1001p DDR2 model I had to upgrade to the Newer Atom with HyperThreading and DDR3. I purchased a 2GB SODIMM and a 180GB Intel 335 SSD and let me tell you the performance is amazing for this system. 1080p movies over VGA on a 50" LED TV play with no issues what so ever. System has never lost a beat. 1.5GHz Atom with Hyperthreading runs like a Quad Core in Windows...it's the best part about this Netbook also the Battery has lasted 3 years and Holds a great charge.

Cons: 2GB MAX...not sure why but that is the only Con if any. Not a big issue though.

Overall Review: I have a bad temper, actually Punched through the LED Display and then smashed it on the ground and stomped it one good time due to Work related stress (Customer Support). Only thing left was the Motherboard. I totally rebuilt it with used parts and I still use it to this day. Lol

Junk

Seagate ST3640323AS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate ST3640323AS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: I've built dozens of gaming and everyday PC's. Western Digital has not failed me yet. Seagate no longer gets my business. I loved them and Maxtor (before they bought them) in the IDE days.

Cons: I'm pretty sure Seagate took their defective 1TB drives that didn't make the cut and slapped a 640GB sticker on them. 2 months after I first purchased Drive died...1 year after they sent me a refurbished drive it failed again. It was noisy from the start and so was the refurb they sent back, just junk...

Overall Review: If these somehow come back into stock DO NOT BUY IT.
