CORSAIR Hydro Series H50 120mm Quiet Edition Liquid CPU Cooler - Intel Only (CW-9060006-WW)
CORSAIR Hydro Series H50 120mm Quiet Edition Liquid CPU Cooler - Intel Only (CW-9060006-WW)

Pros: I was a little skeptical of a water cooling unit in terms of both efficiency and construction but after upgrading my motherboard I found my i5 2500k was hitting +76C degrees pretty regularly on light loads of computing with the intel fan attached to it. After putting this cooling system in and running some tests I was able to actually overclock my cpu and still hover around 30C degrees regularly.

Cons: I read the reviews and knew the installation would be difficult, but it was even worse than I thought. Even the videos on youtube seemed out of date from what was in the shipped box. Prepare for some frustrations with install.

Tiny!

Corsair 64GB Voyager Mini USB 3.0 Flash Drive (CMFMINI3-64GB)

Pros: -Small, really small! -Fast! -rugged, tough rubber connector for key chain

Cons: It's almost too small, it sometimes sits in a usb plug a little too loosely that it needs to be adjusted. One thing I noticed being on the key chain that the weight of the keys hanging can be enough to slightly dislodge the stick enough to lose connection in some upright, vertical usb plugs.

Overall Review: I was looking for a high capacity, affordable, small, keychain usb 3.0 stick without a loose cap. This is pretty much the only game in town for that, and luckily it's really good!

Great case!

BitFenix Shinobi Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
BitFenix Shinobi Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: -Great looking -Well designed -parts fit together well, ease of componant installation

Cons: -Installing drives on the front disrupts the sleek look of the case

Overall Review: This is one of the best designed cases I've ever bought. It's sturdy and looks nice. I use it as a home theater pc, so it's quite visible and I wasn't looking for a traveling lan party gamer rig so this fit the bill of a low visual impact pc case and it's quiet.
