OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2RPR800C44GK

Pros: - Voltage Support is Insane. - Clocking ability is Insane. - Takes well to relaxed clocking for overclocking.

Cons: - You have to manually clock this memory to 2V @ 4-4-4-15 or else it clocks to 1.8 @ 6-6-6-18.

Overall Review: OCZ Support is off the wall. They are insane over at that company, and stress test the bejesus out of their memory.

Most Critical Review

DOA Motherboard

ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: - Great OC Capabilities - Solid Motherboard

Cons: - NB and SB tempratures were just WAY to high. - No way to actually cool the NB and SB through water cooling without hacking up the heatsinks. - They use a Cement like compound apparently on both NB and SB so that if you do not switch out the NB and SB heatsinks immediately it sets within 48 hours of turn on.

Overall Review: - Mine came with a DOA Memory controller, and always gave errors in Memtest 86+ - Asus Support was awesome, but they went ahead and asked me to RMA through newegg due to even them saying that their turn around times were unsatisfactory. - ASUS is very honest :)

Awesome Storage

SAMSUNG STORY Station 1TB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive HX-DU010EB
SAMSUNG STORY Station 1TB USB 2.0 3.5" External Hard Drive HX-DU010EB

Pros: Runs Cool Light Adjustment/Power Switch is a great feature Low Power Consumption (under 10W measured) Very Quiet Compatible with Energy Saving features of Mac/PC OSes

Cons: Only one interface Mini USB sometimes comes loose Power cord is somewhat short Not formattable for Mac Filesystems

Overall Review: The design of the HDD prevents you from stacking them. Other than that it was a great buy when I recieved it. Worked perfect out of the box.

Cheap

SteelSeries 51005SS 3.5mm/ USB Connector Circumaural Siberia Full-Size headset USB (black)
SteelSeries 51005SS 3.5mm/ USB Connector Circumaural Siberia Full-Size headset USB (black)

Pros: Clean Sound Good cord length When I purchased it, the company was IceMat and it came with a nice USB Sound card.

Cons: Cheap Plastic Contruction Easily breaks if you have a large head. Broke within the 1st 2 Months, and I cannot contact the support guys.

Overall Review: I wish they had not been bought by SteelSerise, I tried to contact them when they were iceMat and they refused a RMA because I had bought the item through NewEgg, and then on top of this, i tried to contact SteelSerise and was totally ignored all 3 times. Now that the item is over a year old, it was basically throwing 60$ in the trash and lighting it on fire.
