Pros: It works well. It looks like it could kill someone. This is a good thing.
Cons: This thing is huge. It touches the side of my case -- and I thought I had a big (ATX) case. The way this company does its fans is also awkward to work with without taking the heatsink out to fasten the fan on.
Overall Review: I think I'm going to stop buying this company's heatsinks, but I would not "not recommend" them. They're nice, big, quiet, and keep my CPU cool, I just don't like working with them.
Pros: Seems like a cheaply built piece of hardware.
Cons: I'd say "It wasn't free" but it was.
Overall Review: This came as a free gift with something else I bought. Upon examination, it seems to be made of a light plastic. I'm unable to use it in my case as the floppy drive bay is set up awkwardly, preventing me from using this. A nice gift. I'll find a use for it.
Amazing card
Pros: This is an amazing video card. Pick a game, turn all of the settings to max, and enjoy.
Cons: This card runs incredibly hot if you're not careful. I am not sure if it is airflow in my case or a defunct card... My HDMI port stopped working after 5 months of use, and is finally unable to game after one year of use. Was hoping for a longer life out of an EVGA product.
Pros: -It's a power supply. It works. -It has not blown up my computer.
Cons: -It didn't fit in my case very well. Not sure if it was the case or the PSU. Had to hold it into place using an ice pick to screw it in properly. (Unorthodox, I know O.o) -Doesn't come with tie-downs for wires, but I didn't expect it to.
Pros: It's a PCI USB controller. Perfect for when you're out of USB ports. The inward-facing USB port is nice for USB Bluetooth dongles, flash drives permanently used for Readyboost, and other USB devices you needn't unplug.
Cons: Wasn't free. Also doesn't make me coffee.
Great gaming keyboard
Pros: Great keyboard. A little pricey, but it's fun to toy with the lights on the keyboard. Nice and heavy; won't slide around too much during gaming or require velcro to keep it in place. Plug-n-play compatibility for basic keyboard functionality. After installing the driver software, you can use the macro keys/change the LED and fun stuff.
Cons: - Wasn't free - The macro keys cannot be mapped to generic keys (to be mapped as their own key in some games)
