First 4k Monitor

Samsung 750 Series U28H750 28" Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 4K Resolution 1ms 2x HDMI, DisplayPort AMD FreeSync Flicker-Free QLED Gaming Monitor
Samsung 750 Series U28H750 28" Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 4K Resolution 1ms 2x HDMI, DisplayPort AMD FreeSync Flicker-Free QLED Gaming Monitor

Pros: This thing is GORGEOUS I'm moving from a 1080p laptop monitor to this and the differences are amazing. Not only am I finding more screen real estate moving to a higher resolutions but the colors seem deeper, and richer. Playing with the settings is a must to get the best results, but I've found it pretty easy to play with the menu. The thing that surprised me was even WITH game mode enabled the colors are still rich and vibrant. People are complaining about the off angles, but honestly, I'm playing games on this sitting pretty close to the monitor, that's not going to be an issue for me; if angles are an issue though, there are tilt settings in the menu. Which seemed interesting to me, but un-needed for my setup. Extra pro: Got this monitor on sale for $350, now I'm wishing I'd gotten two, for a dual screen setup.

Cons: The brightness of this screen is pretty high, and not easy to adjust as others have mentioned. The other thing I've noticed is that the power cord on my monitor likes to slip out easily. I don't move my monitor much so not a big deal, just a little frustrating, not enough for an egg removal.

Overall Review: I'm running an AMD graphics card and I was hoping Freesync would be enabled auto-magically, but you have to enable this yourself through the menu. No biggy, you set it and forget it.

Oh my...the cable management....the airflow!!

LIAN LI LANCOOL 207 Compact ATX RGB Gaming Computer Case, Tower Chassis w/ 2x140mm ARGB,2x120mm PWM Fans Pre-Installed, reinventing ATX Layout / Tempered Glass Side Panel (Black) --- LANCOOL 207RX

Pros: - Great airflow without really needing to add more fans (not pictured I've added an extra exhaust fan) but I was getting good temps before that - Very easy to work in most of the cables are pre-routed to where they will need to go, and the case is well designed for the power and data cables (shown in first picture) - Quiet, compared to my SFF build this thing barely needs to ramp up to keep things cool. Having fans right on the graphics card helps - Tool less design; for the most part everything can be disassembled/reassembled without having to use the screwdriver. The exception being the PCI-e slots as I wanted to ensure the GPU was secured - Speaking of GPU, the support bracket works great to support my 7900 xtx which is a larger card - Passthrough slot for the GPU power cables to come up from the bottom (shown in second picture) - Price for what you're paying this was a fantastic case to work in; if a friend needed to build a PC this would be the case I suggest.

Cons: There's always something you have to give up, here are some cons; I consider most of these minor nits. - The front USB cable connects to the motherboard I've chosen in a way that the cable is VERY bent and hard to connect (you may see this in the first picture). I'm not too worried as now that it's connected I won't have to deal with it again. This was my biggest annoyance with this case. - The fans in the front are connected by a single power and LED cable; not at all an annoyance for me but maybe others who want more control? - Bottom fans are also connected by a single power cable and have no LED; I keep my LEDs off so again not an annoyance for me personally. - Let's talk power supply, you will want a shorter power supply according to some you-tubers I followed that advise and have the "CORSAIR RMx Series RM1000e 1000W" PSU. The PSU goes in sideways and this PSU is a little bit smaller in length so it fits nicely. Not a con if you do your research; but bigger PSUs or people who don't look it up may have problems.

Overall Review: I love this case, I've had it for a few months now; and have very little complaints. It's the 3rd case I've built in and so far it's been the easiest. From a design standpoint it feels like everything in the case has a purpose, and every cable has a path it can follow. It holds my beefy GPU and Air Cooler with no issues. The cable management is really nice; with all the default Cables that came from Corsair I don't have to hide away or have a bundle of wires anywhere. Maybe in the future I could get some shorter cables for the PSU, but the cost isn't worth the justification. While they are a BIT longer than needed, there's still plenty of room below for airflow; and cables aren't bunched up.

I don't give a RAM

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB 288-Pin PC RAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) Desktop Memory Model F4-3200C16S-16GVK

Pros: It all works as expected no problems with my motherboard. For reference I'm using a ASRock Fatal1ty AB350 Gaming-ITX/ac AM4 AMD, it sees the RAM stick and runs at the correct speed. I just bought a second one to go to 32gb of memory. I've used this RAM with both a Windows 10 OS and an Arch Linux OS with no issues.

Cons: N/A

Amazing Quality

Philips Sonicare HX9352/04 DiamondClean Rechargeable sonic toothbrush 5 modes with Charging Glass and USB Charging Travel Case –Black Edition

Pros: The build quality on this toothbrush is absolutely amazing, when you hold it you feel like this thing was built to last; its solid. The charging method and the carry case are just icing on the cake; it looks really nice sitting by the sink, unlike some of the other clunkier products, I'd rather hide under the sink....and thus never use. Ascetically pleasing

Cons: I only had one base to share with my ex so we kept having to switch the heads based on who was using it. Solved by buying a second one. The replacement heads are really expensive considering its just a small bit of plastic and some bristles. I haven't looked online, but at Bed Bath and Beyond where I first bought the product it was about $30 for two heads.

Overall Review: This has made brushing teeth feel fun again. I wake up everyday and get a gum massage.

I never knew...

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9Q-16GBRL

Pros: I primarily game on my machine. I ran battlefield 3 with 4GB Ram, and looking at the task manager my processor (Phenom II x4) would be running at about 90% - 100% across all four cores, and my ram usage would level out at 3GB. After upgrading to 16GB I noticed the load on my CPU decrease to 80% load, and my RAM usage increase to 5 - 6GB! I never knew RAM had such a direct effect. On another note, Minecraft runs 1000x smoother once you allocate 10GB for it to run on.

Cons: When I first installed it I had issues, it was user error however because I didn't push one of the sticks in all the way...oops. :-/

Overall Review: Everything works perfect, even though the RAM is not officially supported by my Asus Crosshair IV motherboard. Awesome!
