Pros: -Very quick processor -At least it's still in a 478 chip -Good overclocking -Awesome price right now

Cons: -Didn't even touch the stock HSF. I know the Prescotts are toasty warm, I was already using a Zalman 7700 AlCu cooler. Even before breakin of the chip and Ceramique I'm idling at 36C, only 2 degrees higher then my 3.0C Northwood in Shuttle server! Awesome! I guess the heat you get is maybe luck of the draw, but regardless do yourself a favor and get a 3rd party cooling solution for these chips.

Overall Review: I'm surprised by the increase (both in the eye/hand meter and in the benchmarks) of this chip over my 2.4C. BF2 plays SO much better now as does everything else. I got this to prolong the life of my P4P800 board.

Pros: ●144 Hz panel looks amazing with my games! ●Good tilt and pivot ●Calibrated well ●Looks awesome in a 3-screen setup!

Cons: I might have bought my three from a batch of screens with faulty power supplies. First screen I bought September 30, 2014. It failed to turn on November 29, 2014 -- lasted only two months. Power supply made a modulating frequency noise and the power button light wouldn't illuminate. Filed RMA and got the repaired screen (same serial number btw) back from ASUS on 12/17. Tonight (January 7, 2015-- only THREE WEEKS) the same screen died again with same modulating frequency. Questionable power supplies in these monitors. A second screen out of my three total also failed to power on one night, but after leaving it unplugged for a few minutes and plugging it back in it turned on.

Overall Review: Extremely disappointed with the screen. I bought two more of these during Black Friday and couldn't do Eyefinity for nearly three weeks while the RMA repair took place. Now I'm stuck again because the repair screen is dead [again], and I have to pay another $25 to ship it to ASUS (up to $50 invested additional in RMAing so far!) and have them make another repair. How long is it gonna last this time? When should I plan for my my other two screens to die and leave me without my full setup? I checked my power strip and wall outlet...120V exactly so it's not getting overvolted. Lastly, I sent my screen to ASUS for repair in the complete, original box plus packaging. I got it back in a plain box in a hard-shell airbag that completely ruined the plastic casing of my entire monitor. The base and mounting arm weren't secured in the box and scratched everything up while in transit. I did an escalation ticket (WTM20141217.....) on December 17th and still haven't gotten a response. Now I need to do both a new RMA and a new escalation for this! Very unhappy. These were my first 24" screens ever and my first tri-monitor setup, and so far it hasn't been a good experience.

Pros: A lot more simple than some of the other "kits" out there for cloning SSD/notebook drives.

Cons: Although the NewEgg description said nothing about it, the box says it works with "Any SSD or 3.5" hard drive with a standard SATA connector." I have a 3.5" WD Green drive and it does nothing when I plug it into any USB port, so either its defective or it really can't supply enough juice to spin desktop 3.5" drives. Bummer.

Pros: Bought these to replace a very old Altec Lansing headset. I became interested in them as soon as they were announced back in October '13. This is my first true "professional" gaming headset (never have I spent more than $50 on a headset to date!). ●Easy setup. Download the latest engine software from SteelSeries, install, and plug in the USB sound card. Choose a connection type to the headphones of your liking. Adjust the software. Go play/listen! ●Many connection options. While the connector type on the headset is one style, it allows the use of a longer cable OR a shorter cable with volume control (analog, not digital THANK YOU!) that you can then connect either a single 3.5mm jack for mobile devices, or you can connect a double audio/mic 3.5 connector for use directly to your existing sound card for front case connections. Lastly, it's own connector can be used directly to the USB card. ●SteelSeries engine software allows an equalizer for you to tweak provided, default configurations for different types of music, games, and entertainment. Feels pretty much unlimited and the interface is really simple. ●Actual audio itself sounds great! Good bass and mids. High's could be a tad better but I haven't gone and spent much time tweaking the profiles either so I blame me on that for the moment. ●DOLBY-enabled sounds terrific! ●Lastly, fully-enclosed ear cups reduce ambient noise A LOT! I can run my volumes now at much lower levels than I did previously simply because I wasn't having to overpower ambient noise. I'm also the type of guy who suffers pain/pressure in my ears for "on-the-ear" headphones.

Cons: ●I wish the mic was a boom, swivel style rather than a retractable type. I worry about the longevity of designs like that but as I use these primarily on my PC I've not shoved the mic back inside the headset on a daily basis. ●I also wish the mic cable, itself, could be pulled out farther so it's closer to my mouth. HOWEVER, I've played several games using TeamSpeak with the 9H's and all my friends have truly said I sound BETTER than I did with the old headset, so I guess this "CON" isn't a performance detractor. ●The USB sound card is BIG (~45mm wide) and has a bit of weight to it. The USB connector and the opposite side of the USB connection into the dongle, itself, does have molded stress-relief but this thing hangs itself pretty severely if used in a vertical connection (like the top of a case, >90° bend) or horizontally (like the back of a case, ~90% bend). I can't imagine that's good for the long run of the cable itself nor your PC's USB port. I've currently mitigated the issue by using a 4' USB extension I had, connected that to a back USB port, and have the 9H USB dongle connected to it resting flag on the top of my case and THEN have the headphones connected to it. ●I initially had a problem within two weeks of getting the headphone where the software kept telling me I needed to update the USB dongle firmware. I'd do this, reconnect the dongle as required, but the update message would keep appearing. Removing the SteelSeries software, reinstalling, and then re-updating the firmware fixed it. ●Seems lately to be a LOT of SteelSeries software updates (probably 3-4 in the past month) and I've done at least 2-3 firmware updates. Nothing new now since Christmas, but this is more an alert than a con. The software makes it easy to update but it's sort of annoying.

Overall Review: I'm really glad I bought this headset. It fits my big head (I wear L/XL sizes of baseball hats for a reference) and doesn't cause me ear pain. There's PLENTY of padding and I immediately went into 2-3 hour game/iDevice listening sessions without any problem. I like the noise-reduction of the headset so much for gaming, and the fit is so good that I'm seriously considering buying a second set to take for working out. Ear buds let in too much noise, the over-the-ear styles (like those colorish ones I see all the time) hurt and have no volume control, but these fully-enclose styles are great! SteelSeries is a new company to me, but I'm glad I took a chance on this product (no reviews when I bought it) and so far I've been very pleased.

Pros: -Great design and openess for air cooled systems -Good options for watercooling choices if you go that route -The e-SATA and external SATA drive dock are great options! -The blue LED's in the front fan, if you keep it, are controllable to be on or off if blue isn't your thing. -Fan filters -Stock fans are quiet enough, but there are always better. -Fits my 5870 just fine, though I definitely think it won't support 5970's or cards of that size. -HDD rack location and ability to remove the bottom mount is useful. -Tool-less drive bays hold well.

Cons: -The PSU fan filter design was ridiculous. You have to mount the filter in place *inside* the case and then install the PSU over the top of it. How is one suppose to clean the filter? You can't-- you have to remove the PSU to do it! I simply cut the filter to fit between the feet and double-side taped it to the buttom of the case. -Cases (this and any others) coming out with the ability to route cables behind the motherboard need to make that space wider than what it is. Large cable bundles that come pre-sheathed on power supplies don't give very easily in that tight space.

Overall Review: Houses an EVGA X58 SLI, i7 920, XFX 5870, an HX850 PSU, two 640 GB WD's, and one Samsung DVDRW. Everything at stock clock speeds at ambient room temp of 20 C yields core temps of 30-35 C using an H50 water cooler, single fan pushing air out the back. Motherboard ambient sensor shows 19 C. Running P95 for 10 minutes never even saw cores go above 57C. I know that's largely in part to the H50, but the airflow of the case definitely contributes. It's right on par with what I was expecting for temps, and I've very happy with it. I originally lookd at Corsairs 800D and 700D, but at their price and the poor air flow I chose this case instead. I would have liked a big tower like that, but I'm not WC'ing the whole system yet. Nice case, definitely!

Pros: -Quiet -Seems like more than enough juice for the system I built -You get a separate pouch for the extra cables. -The PSU comes packed in a (fake) velvet bag! It's almost like Corsair PSU's are royalty or something...

Cons: The cable sheathing isn't very forgiving on the main (20+4) bundle. Cases that use cable management behind the motherboard tray may be a really tight fit. My CM 690II case required me to literally lay down the case on it's side so I could push down the panel to close it.

Overall Review: I choose this over similar units from PC Power & Cooling based on reviews here at at tech sites. They're both great brands, but the Corsair edged out in my book.
