Worked great
Pros: Good size, pretty fast transfer rate, good price.
Cons: none
Overall Review: I split it into 2 partitions: 100gb for Windows 7 64bit and 220 just for storage. I haven't installed a Linux partition yet, but when I do I'm sure it'll work just great.
Review in progress
Pros: THIS REVIEW WILL BE EDITED AFTER MY RMA AND NEW GPU Great card, seemed to work, everything mostly was as expected working.
Cons: The con for me is there is a speckled image coming up on solid colors. For example, if you have a google hangout video chat open with no video, the person's image is surrounded by a solid black background. For me this black background is speckled with white pixels, some shining in and out (much like if you were looking at the stars in the night sky). SPECKLED IMAGE SHOWS FOR GAMES AS WELL, only on any solid color image which is not moving. This issue is not present in my 2nd HDMI port on the gpu. So this tells me at least one of the HDMI ports is bad on this particular card. I did not check the two display ports or DVI ports because I only use HDMI. YMMV
Overall Review: As I said before, I will edit this review once I get my new card and don't have these obvious issues. I will test with various games for performence and temperature control, including some VR occulus games for a more full PRO/CON review. I only write this review for any other customers who may experience the same issue as I have.
headphone blew out
Pros: Argh!
Cons: I listen to music from my phone and the right headphone blew out in less than one week! Cheap quality, horrible!
Overall Review: Waiting for response on the warranty, now they're probably going to send me a used piece of junk to replace the brand new ones that blew out in a week.
Good buy
Pros: Everything is pretty standard on these pairs. Microphone is okay quality, headphones work fine at a good volume.
Cons: -The bass isn't the best, the frequency range doesn't support up to the higher volumes (20kHz max). -The headphones really press down on your ears. It tends to bother me if I wear them for a long period of time. Won't be a problem if you aren't sitting at your computer for 5 hours straight. -I've plowed through 2 pairs in 2 months, gonna buy myself a third/fourth one too.
Overall Review: ONLY $5.00!!!
Graphics card
Pros: Pretty solid video card. Much cheaper than the others with it's stats and it works well too. I don't know the specifics from my games but I'm able to play stuff pretty well on medium settings.
Cons: Takes up two slots. The fan sticks out like a bacon kaboos.
Long term thoughts
Pros: Pros: Great tower! Didn't realize it was the same one my dad has had for the past couple years when I ordered it. Very Cheap, fit all my parts quite snug!
Cons: Cons: On the inside of the tower the metal sheet lining the motherboard side was curving outwards a bit... One of the front USB ports was jammed when I got it, and later it started shorting so I had to disconnect both front USB slots to even start my computer. The sound blew out less than a month in, its pretty annoying too because I tore apart my headphones when I thought it might be a headphone issue, but the audio port on the case is malfunctioning and not outputting sound on the right earphone/headphone/speaker.
