Most Critical Review

Terrible depreciation in speed!

Corsair Nova Series 2 2.5" 60GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-V60GB2
Corsair Nova Series 2 2.5" 60GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-V60GB2

Pros: Started off very fast. Benchmarked close to specs.

Cons: Terrible seek times after a few months. Boot time is now slower than a normal HDD.

Overall Review: The response time for finding files right now is sitting over 1000ms on some files. This would be many, many times worse than a typical hard drive. This issue is probably what has caused the other performance complaints in the comments.

DoA Keyboard

CM Storm QuickFire Rapid - Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with CHERRY MX Brown Switches
CM Storm QuickFire Rapid - Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with CHERRY MX Brown Switches

Pros: It had flashing lights.

Cons: Was DoA on arrival.

Overall Review: It worked for about 1 minute. I had enough time to do a single typing test and then the keyboard was caput. The lights on the the caps and scroll locks were blinking like mad, and then the keyboard stopped working. I tried it again in PS/2 mode and it failed. I tried it again in USB mode and it failed. Windows could no long recognize it as a USB device. I tried it on USB mode on a different computer and it failed. USB device was not recognized. I swapped out the mini-USB cable for a different one. It still failed for the same reasons. I tried using it on a USB hub instead of plugging directly into my computer. I tried using it on a USB 3.0 slot instead of 2.0. I tried reseating the cable 10-20 times. Nothing got the keyboard to work again. Now I need to pay return shipping to get this heavy keyboard back to be replaced.

Solid case, good for the price.

Pros: Entire build went without a hitch. Case had all of the screws needed. Tool-less system worked perfectly.

Cons: No internal speaker.

Overall Review: For the price, there are not many other cases which are as good as this. Did the job exactly as needed.

So much power, I don't know what to do with it.

Cooler Master GX - 650W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Bronze Certification
Cooler Master GX - 650W Power Supply with 80 PLUS Bronze Certification

Pros: More than enough power for my i5-2400 GTX 550 Ti build. Worked as intended. Single 12v rail with 52A.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: This is a very powerful PSU which will be able to handle most computers being built. At 52A on the 12V, I would trust it to handle pretty many any single GPU system.

This graphics card was just like a graphics card to me!

Pros: Great performance and very price effective. Solid brand.

Cons: It's not better.

Overall Review: It's a very solid card for those without massive monitors. It gets the job done very well on a budget.
