Second one!!!

Pros: I'll give full details on this baby and tell you why you should own one. -No extra power. 2 of these in SLI on a 550w PSU. No need for power hungry cards. -SLI is amazing. No details on the web on performance, but it's GREAT! Windows 7 rating of 7.0 Aero and 5.8 gaming. OC'd to 700/1750/450 -Temps are relatively low. This isn't a freezer, but under full load, GPU1 is ~69 C and GPU2 is ~59 C - Great multiloader! Ok, so you may be like me and hate load times, right? Well this thing loads tonns of processing data to the huge GB of DDR2 onboard. put two together and share 4GB of system memory and load a game from an SSD and you have a sweeeet system. I've never waited for ANY loading of rendering on Burnout, Bioshock, Crysis, etc. -Did I mention this thing is cheap?! Cheap, great card by EVGA. -Nvidia drivers are super easy to install and use. EVGA precision is a beast. -You don't need super-fast GDDR3 or above RAM or a GTX 295. No game can use that much power anyway. It's just nons
Cons: Um... you doesn't has onez already!
Overall Review: If you want a really high end PCI-E 2.0 card for really cheap that you know will be just as good as any 256-bit or above card when it comes to high end games, go ahead and get this one. If you want to waste money for no reason and get a better card than this, go ahead. I'm just saying... I'd rather not spend that much money, SLI 2 of these and never have to wait for whole maps to be rendered rather than have something that tries to stream renders from my HDD. With more memory combined on these cards and shared memory than most games, why get something that can only render fast?
Great for beefer servers in a mid tower.

Pros: - Dual processor means more cores than you can buy in a single proc - A good amount of RAM slots (8), but not as insane as other server boards (16+) - Mostly standard ATX mounting, some standoff differences, but you can mount it just fine
Cons: - A good amount of RAM slots (8), but not as insane as other server boards (16+)
Overall Review: The X299 chipset is the gaming version of the C612, just like the X99 was the gaming version of the C610. C612 has support for dual procs and less lanes for PCIe. It's not really meant for gaming, SLI, etc.; but if you're like me and need a build server in a mid tower, this is it.
Excellent Printer

Pros: I've bought several of these printers over the year and I've been a fan of Brother for quite a long time. This printer is definitely a good purchase, especially for a business environment with high printing demands. I have a couple that goes through roughly 10000 pages per year each and they just keep ticking. Generic toner is fine. For those complaining about drivers in Linux, you can use a generic PCL 5/6 driver and if you need Duplex that doesn't work in the driver, simply connect the printer to a network and turn on Duplex mode in the Printer Settings. Brother has great drivers and an easily navigable support website.
Cons: I've had two printers (out of about a dozen) that have had an odd problem with losing network connections, even when completely turning off an on. There's a crazy button combination to fix it. (From the support site) Turn off the machine. Make sure that the front cover is closed and the power cord is plugged in. Hold down the Go button as you turn on the power switch. Keep the Go button pressed down until all the LEDs light up, and then the Ready LED turns off. Release the Go button. Make sure that all the LEDs turn off. Press the Go button six times. Make sure that all the LEDs light up to indicate the print server has been reset to its factory default settings. The machine will restart.
Overall Review: Overall, this is a great printer that's well worth the money. If you're trying to replace an old printer or need a good printer for a business, I can't recommend this one more for monochrome work.
Good mouse, Not-so great support

Pros: Great mouse if you're a claw. Clicks are great and have a perfect level of give and a seriously satisfying click. Wheel is a good scroller (I don't like the free-scrolling, loose wheels) Thumb buttons are perfectly placed. I have really wide, and fairly short hands, so it's a perfect fit. Really light.
Cons: Terrible mouse if you're a palm. Way too small if you're a palm. Bottom thumb button, which is used a LOT for navigating back and in games, has started to go out. Contacted CM, and it took a couple days to get an RMA approved. Problem is, no free shipping to them, non cross-shipping RMA, support takes FOREVER in chats (Why is this an issue?), and you HAVE to talk to your regional chat (Can't talk to UK if you're in US). Overall, just a terrible time trying to get this thing replaced, so I might just buy from someone else instead of shipping off my mouse and having to use a spare for days/weeks.
Overall Review: Overall, it's a great mouse. I've had it for nearly a year, but less than 9 months in was when I started having problems. It's a great, cheap mouse which I've seriously enjoyed and Newegg definitely likes to sell them for a serious discount sometimes. For the price, I'm not terribly disappointed about the problem with one button, but it's really annoying to have to replace a mouse after less than 1 year. 5 million click switches my [LOWER BACKSIDE OF A HUMAN]. If you're considering this mouse because you want a great claw mouse without a ton of buttons you'll never use or a mouse that has perfectly placed buttons, this one is great, but wait for Newegg to have a sale and buy 2 for the price of 1 normally. I regret not picking up 2 spares when the last sale ran.
Perfect case

Pros: So, I looked for a great, full ATX Tower for a while. To put it simply, this is the right one. I like the looks of the case, and I love the layout. IN WIN seriously took every design improvement and rolled it into this case. Super sturdy design with thick, heavy steel, great organization of components, very awesome little bits, like the locks on the rear slots. -Tons of space -Noise dampeners on every component -Great airflow -Good selection of ports on top -Made with real unicorns
Cons: It doesn't fit where my old mid-tower did, but I knew that before I bought it. If you've never experienced a full tower, bust out a measuring tape. Also, there is basically no cable routing behind the Mobo, but you'd have to have some PSU cab;es with some serious distance to rout them behind the Mobo on a full tower.
Overall Review: Overall, I searched through every case on Newegg. My criteria was a great quality case that wasn't over $149.99 after shipping. I love the HAF 932, but it doesn't have noise dampeners and the side window is silly when I could have full mesh and a huge fan. The Thor is pretty cool, but I still don't get the noise dampeners for my extra $20... Overall, the build quality of the IN WIN Ironclad case is on par with the other guys, but cheaper with more of what I want. Definitely the best thing about this case is the locking mechanisms on the rear card slots. They don't have a traditional rotational locking mechanism like most screwless designs. Watch the video newegg has.
Just amazing quality

Pros: -Symmetrical 17PPM, not 30ppm B/W and 2ppm color... -The DPI is great, and the economical mode when not doing photos saves toner and keeps the colors perfect, not washed out. -Friendly to thick paper without giving it a bend. (resume paper, etc) -Plays nice with wireless networks and fully driverless install on Win 7 -Not instant on like some $1k HP Business printers, but never more than ~15 seconds from sleep -Color toner=WIN. Perfect colors that are usually only on ink, but without paying the cost of ink. -Toner is like $20-25 per cartridge on Newegg -COMES WITH ALL THE TONER!!! (Not that bull**** trial toner or ink that comes with a lot of printers in an attempt to make you buy more immediately after getting the printer) -Has 4 toner cartridges, which is a must on any color printers, simply because it's not economical to replace one cartridge if not all of the colors are empty -Great build quality. I bought it here a year ago and I haven't had a single problem. EVER. -Prin
Cons: -Not instant on, so not good for those who can't wait an extra 15 seconds when printing... -Toner last for only 2200 prints/cartridge, so for the average user, you'll never get to buy another cartridge. Darn...
Overall Review: Seriously, I searched for a long time to find the perfect printer... Cheap, but lasts forever... Great quality and good printing without explitiving the customer when it comes to the ink/toner. I found it.
