Pros: great value. Corsair name.
Cons: None
Overall Review: I don't know how to review memory. All I know is I have 8GB and I want 16GB. I have a I7 2600K system and this memory works flawlessly. Corsair has never let me down yet.
Pros: quiet
Cons: it wasn't free
Overall Review: Its an optical drive. I don't see myself ever burning anything since I have flash drives. Those of you who compain the lack of software and cable are stipid. Its called bulk for a reason. Seriously, who doesn't have dozens of SATA cables laying about. Your motherboard gives you at least 4.
Pros: Speed. This thing is fast. Windows 7 boots extremely fast. Firefox comes up instantaniously.
Cons: Price per gig is high, but you don't buy these for storage. Also, the included bracket doesn't fit my lian li's standard hard drive bay. not a big issue, though.
Overall Review: 60 gigs is plenty for the OS and all of your basic programs. I store all of my games on a 1TB WD HDD and don't have any complaints about load times.
Pros: extremely fast. Overclocks very well. I had it up to 4.6 on air without any adjustments in voltage. Its been 5 years since I've upgradged my computer, its really hard to beleive how fast they are now. Windows 7 boots in a matter of a few seconds.
Cons: Sandy Bridge motherboards were recalled; more of an annoyance than a con.
Overall Review: There's no reason to buy a "non K" model at this price point. If you're not going to overclock, just stick with an I5.
Pros: Fast, great performance, overclocks nicely. I'm only running things at 1680x1050, but I can max out every setting and it still runs flawlessly. Its not even noisy.
Cons: None that I can think of
Overall Review: Its large. But seriously, if you want a fast card, do you really care how large it is?
Pros: Great feel, though I have to get used to the curved layout. The software is also good, the hot-keys are easily customizable. Its big, keyboards are suppose to be big. large hot-keys are easy to use. Plus, a bigger keyboard with an integrated palm rest is easier to balance on your lap. Came with name brand batteries. OEM, you're not paying for a colorful box.
Cons: none, so far.
Overall Review: For those of you "missing" the dongle, look in the brown box, its there. There is a little picture of a USB dongle on the side of the box it is on.
