ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I can say that This Board is worth buying. A side from past issues. It definitely holds up to being a Tuf Board. Still Deserves 5 stars.

Cons: does not support PNY memory that well. When i first built this computer i had an issue with the memory where the computer would turn on / off / on / off / on. later found out that i needed to have the memory in the b2 b1 dimm slots. Just 1 month ago i had updated the bios and once again came across the problem. had to rearrange the memory. and then no longer be able to overclock the memory to the appropriate speeds. its currently running at 1066mhz rather then the 1600mhz.

Overall Review: Figure I'd edit This Review. Owned this board 6-7 years now. The memory Issue had Came back When Updating the bios several years ago. There was a malfunction in the dimm slots that prevented it from functioning correctly. After i rma'd the board and came back. Built the computer only to have the computer burnout smoking. (was lost to words when that happen.) Called them up and sent it back. Has Worked like a charm to this day. I've been a die hard Asus buyer. I trust there Product and over the years I see everyone hating On their support. They have been nothing but Awesome when I asked for support. I'm looking into building a new computer with asus products but have been discouraged by the ratings today; especially on new egg.

Too much of a hassle.

ASUS RT-N66U N900 Dual-Band WiFi Gigabit Router
ASUS RT-N66U N900 Dual-Band WiFi Gigabit Router

Pros: Not much. IT works when it wants to. lasted 3ish years. I think it kept up the speeds advertised.

Cons: - Had to reinstall the firmware way too much then i should have too. the firmware it came with was a bit buggy. I initially wanted to install DD-wrt which took a while because of the firmware install utility. - Even with DD-wrt install every few to several months router would still crash and would need the firm ware installed. - The Wifi Is a huge problem cutting out. sometimes the devices shows connected by wireless but internet would not work. This is a weekly issue, rebooting router usually fixes this.

Overall Review: -Installing 3rd party firmware is no longer possible due to FCC Decided they want to change the rules. not the routers fault. - for what it was worth when i bought it-- wasn't worth it. -recommend this product for any simplistic needs. (keep it on basic settings to prevent it from crashing.) -would not buy again.

Acesori Black A-BND900-BLK Bluetooth Neckband Headset
Acesori Black A-BND900-BLK Bluetooth Neckband Headset

Pros: really not much except for the price. The bluetooth range advertises as 30ft. I haven't precisely measured but i think it just exceeds around 40ft - 45ft in range. i was impressed.

Cons: I bought this product when it came on sale for 42.98 then 2 days later it dropped down to 19.99. bought another set and sold the first pair and got my money back. one of the main reason i bought this item is that is has up to 10 hours playback time. that only lasted for about 2-3 months after it dropped to 8 hours of play back time. now its mid October and i'm down to maybe 5 hours of playback time if i'm lucky, I do listen to music a lot. my work days were usually 12-15 hour work days so i hoped to keep 10 of those hours to keep my sanity. I still haven't lost the clips to hold the wires though they really don't help all that much. they keep sliding down so the extra wire kept dangling around till it grabbed a hold of a shelf and ripped the ear buds out of my ear. nothing but a pair of zip ties didn't fix. other then that for the price it did its job for the most part, The price for this product has dwindled down

Overall Review: other then that for the price it did its job for the most part, The price for this product has dwindled down to 10.99 for an open box. yeah go for it. but if you want longer lasting battery i don't recommend.

EVGA GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 01G-P3-1351-KR

Pros: The Perfomance of this card was Great for the price and Pretty sturdy. Lasted me 2-3 years

Cons: Drivers are no longer compatible with my system.

Overall Review: I don't know what happened but i went away for a month and stored my computer for a month when i came back the drivers were being updated, well the new drivers from r331 and up would either give me the bsod or i get a black screen upon log in. i reverted back to 327.23 which was the last stable one for this card. Worked for another 3 months then started crashing again. currently shopping for new one. Would recommend this card for older builds.
