Excellent CPU, great price/perf

Pros: -Very fast, 6 physical cores helps run a lot at once -Overclocked to 4GHz (ASRock Extreme4 X99 mobo, Hyper 212 EVO cooler) 24/7 for a year and a half with no issue -Runs cool enough at that oc (40C idle, 70C load) that I'm comfortable. -Great price (was $390 when I got it, I see it's $409 now but that's still not bad imo) -Fast. I can't go back to 4 cores after this.
Cons: -no iGPU. I would still never use it, but for some that only want more CPU horsepower and have no need for dedicated graphics, the inclusion would be nice. Also, if my GPU dies or I want to sell it when buying a new one, I can't use my PC until I get a new GPU. But that's not really a big enough complaint to dock any eggs, since you know there's no iGPU before buying.
Overall Review: Would highly recommend, although right now a 6800K can be had for less and is probably slightly faster, so it just depends on what's cheapest when you're buying. In my case, 6800K wasn't out yet, so it was either a 5820K or 6700K, and more cores won. Seriously, I can't imagine going back to less than 6 cores and I hope the trend of higher core counts for less continues.

Alright phone for younglings

Pros: VERY durable. I've had one for two years and it's survived quite a lot. Camera WAP Browser Bluetooth Uh...Games? Megaman II is pretty fun! Looks pretty stylish, imo. Speaker's kinda loud. Since it's a flip phone, it has an external screen. Hold one of the external buttons for it to light up with the time.
Cons: Camera - .3 megapixel, no flash or autofocus, occasionally takes a nice picture but mostly they're blurry/dim. Browser - WAP browser...What more can you say really? Runs out of memory when trying to load semi-big pages(even with Google Mobilizer). Good for googling something or using some wap sites, but not much more than that. Oh, and gprs is slow anyway, not that it matters. Bluetooth - NO data transfer! Just for stereo headsets and cars. It does work well with a bluetooth-equipped car, I'll give it that. Not much 'app' variety, pretty limited J2ME stuff... Pretty bad service imo, but I dunno who to blame on that one. Other phones with this carrier can get some service when this phone can't, but I think generally it's just pretty bad all around. Oh, and battery life. You'd think for such a weak little phone it would last for a while. Nope, I don't get much more than a day at a time with it. The service problem really hurts that, though.
Overall Review: Overall, it's a very basic phone. On the one hand, if you're getting it for someone who doesn't need the latest and greatest smartphone(kids or grandma), it's actuallly pretty good. If you want to do anything besides google, sms, and call people, you're out of luck here. But that's why it's just my backup...
Great X99 motherboard!

Pros: -Plenty of ports -Everything worked without error -4GHz overclock setting in uefi if you don't want to manually tweak everything -boots FAST in fastboot (from 850 evo), would be even faster from m.2 (which this board supports) -reboot to uefi shortcut if you turn on fastboot because otherwise you won't get into bios without clearing cmos
Cons: -none really. Have had for 17 months and it's been on nearly 24/7 and haven't had any problems.
Great M-ATX Board!

Pros: Lots of bang for your buck: PCI-Ex 2.0, esata, max 16gb RAM.
Cons: Could just be my board, but the RAM slots for Channel 1(1&3) were a tight fit, I felt like RAMming my sticks in(sorry for the pun). Slots 2&4 did not have this difficulty. Same for the 2 PCI slots. Also, sometimes the BIOS has a checksum error when I try to modify RAM timings or other things, not sure why that is. I've just got to fiddle a bit more I guess.
Overall Review: Again it could just be my board, I dunno. Other than that everything is fine, works as it should. Haven't tried flashing the BIOS yet, that might fix my problems. Oh, the dual-BIOS is a handy feature.
Great PMP!

Pros: The Zen has a beautiful 16.7 million color 2.5 inch display, plays a wide variety of video and audio codecs, has on-the-go playlists, an FM radio with up to 32 presets, high customization, great battery life that is rechargeable via mini-usb, and expandable memory with an SDHC slot!
Cons: The SD slot is not integrated into the main content, so it's best for videos and pictures really, but I haven't filled up the 8(7.49)gb yet. Getting close, though! Other than that, it's great!
Overall Review: I had problems when I first got it...It came with firmware 1.11 or something like that, and I tried to connect it after charging it for the first time. It would only connect for a few seconds before disconnecting, so I had to keep installing the mtp device driver for it. I did some research, and it turns out that all I had to do was disable the lib-usb-win32 driver(used to connect my PS3 controller to use on PC) and bam, it now works perfectly. Was going to get the 16gb version, but I needed it for a trip and so could not wait to order it online, so I picked one up at Circuit City. Best player for the buck, period!
