ASUS GeForce GTX 590 (Fermi) 3GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card ENGTX590/3DIS/3GD5

Pros: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! Runs everything on MAX in 3D, 1920x1080... I have it mounted in an open air case on my wall above the monitor and its almost silent. Room temp 72F...

Cons: None!

Overall Review: Tips. Run the latest drivers from NVIDIA. Do not try to save money on a Power Supply if your running this card, or you will be very unhappy. Im using Antec 1200 High Current Pro.

Pros: Lets you plug in internal drives in to a USB port! The usb to sata worked well.

Cons: Power Supply Unit did not work... as expected...

Overall Review: I expected that the PSU would not work when I bought the unit, just because I read the comments of other people that have bought this unit before me... If your cool with that then buy it... I needed it to be cheap.. Enjoy..

This case is amazing for the price.

Lenovo Flex 2-15

Lenovo 2-in-1 Notebook Intel Core i5-4210U 6GB Memory 500GB HDD 8 GB SSD Intel HD Graphics 4400 15.6" Touch Screen Windows 8.1 Flex 2 15 (59418262)
Lenovo 2-in-1 Notebook Intel Core i5-4210U 6GB Memory 500GB HDD 8 GB SSD Intel HD Graphics 4400 15.6" Touch Screen Windows 8.1 Flex 2 15 (59418262)

Pros: 1. Clear and good looking screen. 2. Using the laptop in tablet mode with the keyboard as a stand turned out the be very convenient for in bed anime watching.

Cons: 1. The M.2 wifi adapter in this thing is horrible, it has known issues, and I blame my self for buying this laptop with out doing my research. 2. The hybrid drive/sdd is slow. 3. The laptop only contains one m.2 interface inside and that is used but the wifi card. 4. The bios is locked, and lenovo has a hardware white list. 5. I tried to upgrade the laptop with an intel 730 240gb ssd, and the bios did not recognize it. 6. It turns out Lenovo and HP now put hardware whitelists in the bios of laptops, to prevent you from upgrading with with parts that they did not put their seal of approval. They also like to charge %500 more for the same exact item, only difference being their seal of approval, and profit for them.

Overall Review: Do Not Buy! You will not be able to upgrade the horrible wifi card and sdd, with out spending a fortune on a limited list of lenovo approved hardware. Check out the masses of people unhappy at lenovo in their support forum because of hardware whitelists.

Good fan!

SilverStone FHP-141 140mm (120mm mounting holes) Case Fan
SilverStone FHP-141 140mm (120mm mounting holes) Case Fan

Pros: Moves lots of air, two speed switch is built in to the fan, low speed is low noice. High speed is louder and moves alot of air. High build quality.

Cons: Not really a con, but it may not fit in some 120mm spaces due to it being on the very outer limits of 120mm fan design spec. This mostly applies to older and more compact computer cases with limited space.

Overall Review: Don't stick your finger in to the fan blades on the high speed setting, trust me it hurts, i tested (by accident)... :)

I like it!

Overall Review: I used it to listen to podcast and and internet radio talk shows. Lasts all day at normal listening volume.
