Most Favorable Review
CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-750TX 750 W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-750TX 750 W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Compatible with New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

Pros: Awesome power, stable, very quiet, has SLI connectors for 2 gtx280's, single 62 amp rail. PRICE!!!! Dirt cheap for the quality! My system (see other thoughts) chewed through an OCZ 700 Watt supply in 3 months and this PSU runs it rock stable with no problems.

Cons: I didnt get it sooner!

Overall Review: Ive had this PSU for almost a year running a highly overclocked Q6600 @ 3.6 and SLI GTx 260's @ 730/1470/1230 with 3 hard drives, 6 GB of overclocked ram, 6 fans, a watercooling loop and a DVD rom drive. This system pulls a WAD of juice, and this PSU has No issues dealing with it.

Most Critical Review

Burned Out at 2.2v, dont even think of 2.3v...

GeIL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model GX22GB6400UDCA=

Pros: ran great... and fast at 982MHz with 5-5-5-15 timings at 2.2v

Cons: one burned out after about 3 months of use... GeIL does not sell these individually on the egg...

Overall Review: i had an ram cooling fan for these, and the airflow antec 182b case is awesome (5 120mm fans)- these ran cool... i gave these a 2 bc they are spec'd to run at 2.3v, when, in reality, anything above 2.1v wont last for too long.

unbelievable ram

Horrible - would prefer red/blue glasses to this

NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 Wireless Glasses Kit (For Use With Any 3D Vision Ready Display) Model 942-11431-0007-001

Pros: - Nvidia Drivers - Good Construction - on the fly depth adjustment - 3d crosshairs from nvidia

Cons: - Horrible technology (active shutter) - Picture quality is much less pleasant than passive (see below) - HUD broken in all games tried - Shadows and HDR lighting broken in all games tried - Crosshairs in shooting games a pain - Only does 120hz 3d - 60 fps shutter - if you have a 144hz monitor, the shutter will not work at 72 fps - 3d doesn't "pop" like it does with passive glasses

Overall Review: I am a huge fan of 3D movies and was quite impressed with the Nvidia 3dTrial (with the red green glasses). this is a terrible product - it basically works by shutting one eye while keeping the other eye open 60 times per second. The problem with this is that it creates a rather unpleasant experience, your eyes will also experience an effect similar to screen tearing when your focus on different objects inside the game. Additionally, after about 30 minutes of gaming, you feel feel like you just sat cross-eyed for an hour straight. Its been over a day and I am still recovering from 1 30 minute gaming session with these glasses. Finally, the 3d effect that these glasses create is not impressive at all - with the passive lenses and even with the 3d discover glasses, the 3d elements "pop" out of the screen (like in movie theaters when people try to grab the 3d particles out of the air). With the passive lenses - since only one eye is seeing at a time, the effect is that you are looking through a really tiny window (your monitor) into a 3dWorld. Unfortunately this is not nearly as good. If you want to screw up your eyes for a mediocre 3D effect, than this is the kit for you! I am waiting until some passive 4K 3d TVs with passive technology come out.

Pros: Wow... i love this keyboard, nice, slim, sturdy - throw it in the trunk everyday after work. Multiple keys work even if being pressed at the same time - great for gaming... what more can you ask for? Looks like a much, much more expensive board

Cons: for the price... are you kidding?

Overall Review: I love this keyboard. I like to play games alot and noticed that wireless boards and mice had too much delay in the controls (FPS's feel sluggish with them). This keyboard is stylish, easy to use, and compact. very nice.
