Overall Review: ** As an update to my previous review: Found root causes of BSOD's with this drive as a system drive on my configuration with the Intel SATA controller. It is caused by power fluctuation on the SATA HDD power wire. Some power supplies come with multiple SATA power connectors on one power wire, and hooking up this drive in such a daisy-chain manner with other SATA devices can cause a sudden voltage drop which win7 would detect as power instability and throw a self-protection method (BSOD). The simple fix is to dedicate only one power wire to this drive if it is being used as the system disk.

Pros: See below.

Cons: Purchased 10/24/11. Died 12/26/11. Cannot refund through newegg.com (Past 30 days). Lost all data and files. Can only RMA through manufacturer. Put in a support ticket with OCZ, they will not refund it, only replace. Why would I want to get a replacement drive to store my files on when there's no guarantee that the replacement won't be just as unreliable? Have had other issues with OCZ SSDs. Would not recommend OCZ.

Pros: Has all the features I needed for a Z97 board. In fact, too many features, I don't really need M.2, USB 3.1, or SATA express. Pretty sure I would end up upgrading to a new chip set before those features are mainstream enough to bother with. The auto over-clock software, AI Suite 3, really impressed me with both its level of control as well as accuracy. Watch some videos by J.J. from ASUS to learn more about it. I think the term 5-way optimization is a bit cheesy, and I don' t really plan on using the software portion (OC'ing for specific software only), but I do acknowledge its potential. The on-board LAN and sound are both excellent.

Cons: The rear I/O shield is really cheap. The embezzled symbols/words are extremely difficult to read. A bit confusing with having both BIOS UEFI, OS level (AI Suite 3), and physical switches on the board that all control the same options. I suppose which ever was set last is what is taken.

Overall Review: Had no issues with installation. The board had a convenient power switch on-board for testing on bench prior to installing in case.

Pros: * Lasted for a few years.

Cons: * After a few years of running this fan began to make large grinding sounds that got worse with time. It was so loud and distracting I unplugged the fan.

Pros: This title probably will have mixed reviews due to some experimentation that Square Enix is willing to do with the genre. It definitely distinguishes itself from other FF games in that you control only one character rather than a party. Further, the game imposes a time limit which contains all new nuances of its own. For example, making you spend your time more effectively rather than spending extra hours searching every possible nook and cranny. Having said that, there's still plenty of time to do everything if that's what you're looking to do. Also, finishing up some quest with just a few minutes left on the clock can feel exciting. Other nuances include that different events and things in the world happen at different times on the clock. Also, you can approach the different main quests in whichever order or piecemeal that you wish. Probably due to past games being criticized for linearity. I would still not quite call this game "open world," though.

Cons: Some textures, especially the background and walls look grainy on the ps3. In the dawn of next gen console gaming, the previous gen is really starting to show its age. I wouldn't be surprised if a 'definitive edition' of this game (along with the other two in the 13 series) is released years from now for ps4. I personally found the 'perfect guard' system a bit clunky and difficult to use, you have to guard at the exact instant of the enemy attack, but it's not always too clear when that moment is. Since the exact timing is different for every enemy. Might get more used to it with more time played, but in general it's not a big deal as you can get by without perfect guarding at all.

Overall Review: I played with the English voices. I thought the voice acting was surprisingly good, even if some of the writing was... well I guess the game has fantasy in the title. I was really surprised to encounter Steve Blum's voice work on a minor side quest character.

Pros: This appears to be a replacement for the top screen cover of a 3DS XL. I am not sure if it's the same part actually used by Nintendo, but they look identical down to every detail. The 3DS XL has a hard plastic cover that is held on by adhesive strips. The LCD screen resides beneath this cover. So this product is just the plastic cover, not an LCD screen -- and it comes with no adhesive strips. You can safely pry the old cover off of the device leaving the adhesive strips intact without having to dismantle the entire device. Care must be taken not to scratch the device or cause damage to it while prying the cover off. High quality plastic safe pry tools used for taking apart cell phones and other electronic devices are recommended for this. Also, do not forget to peel off the factory protective plastic film on the new cover before adhering it to the device. Do not get any dust or fingerprints on the cover or LCD screen beneath it while replacing. Using this part you can cheaply fix top screen cover damage. Useful for refurbishing these devices.

Cons: Ships from outside the USA.
