Pros: +Wonderful, stable performance... a constant with Intel's Core series. +Supports older LGA heatsinks (LGA1155/1156, my 1156 True Spirit + 1156 mount worked flawlessly.) +Will crunch everything you throw at it.

Cons: -Gets a little hot within Prime95, even with my crazy airflow/cooler setup. It still remains perfectly stable to multitask high-end media programs as Prime95 is running, which blew me away in all honesty. 60ºC was my average load temp, not sure if sensor's tripping out, thermal paste still settling in, or just a hot chip... but I believe it's just a hot chip.

Overall Review: Get the Intel Core i7-4770K if you want to overclock. Get the Intel Core i7-4771 if you don't care to overclock. Given the $20 price difference, just find the one you can find for the cheapest. You can't go wrong at these speed levels.

Pros: Looking for a budget mechanical keyboard? Look elsewhere. It seems Cooler Master jumped on the mechanical bandwagon to get some easy profits.

Cons: Dead key (L) on the third day of usage. The L key, of all friggin' keys! I'd expect WASD to break first, but the L key? What the hell.. quality control on this product must be awful.

Overall Review: Get a real brand, or don't get one at all. Don't make the same mistake I did.

Pros: Suprisingly decent sound quality. The lows seemed to have taken the most hit, but nothing some minor EQ tweaks can fix. One port for optical and stereo connections. The optical passes DTS, which is great for my HD movies.

Cons: Low volume. I hate this type of packaging.

Overall Review: Purchased to rid the noise of my onboard lappy sound card (Asus G50vt-x2am), I'm more than impressed. The volume output is a little higher than the onboard, but still way too low. I have to crank my amplifier to max to get my preferred listening level.

Pros: I've had this PSU for a little over a year, and it has been the gem of my rig. All the rails are perfectly stable according to a certain shack's voltmeter. The +12v was a little high (12.19), but again, I'd rather have a stable 12.19 than a lower, bouncier one. The 120mm fan is great, and the blue LEDs add a nice touch. Keeps it nice and cool even with a dual-core right in the intake fan's path.

Cons: PSU is now dead, and is about to be RMA'd. Nothing to worry about, though, as OCZ has one of the best reputations with support. The PowerSwap Warranty is awesome. Wires are also a pain to hide, but I don't mind that at all. I believe modular power supplies are too risky.

Overall Review: Definitely go with OCZ, especially for their power supplies. They are a great company from what I can tell on forums, I'll follow-up later with a service review.

Pros: Awesome quality for what you pay for.

Cons: Fairly slow, but as a first scanner purchase, I don't mind this at all.

Overall Review: Definitely best back for your buck from what I see. Does the job well.

Pros: Textured grip is so much better than smooth grips. Looks amazing, and the new mouse feet definitely slide smoother than older ones.

Cons: Flawed laser engine. 3 mouse pads I tested it on caused huge spazzing when flicking the mouse. Not good if you play fast paced shooters. MX518 did not do this, I assume that mouse has a high quality optical engine.

Overall Review: To be honest, this mouse isn't bad. 2000dpi, great grip. But one less button and the low-level laser engine just put it down other mice and especially the MX518.
