Great Chair
Pros: The chair is great. I bought it knowing there weren't any reviews at the time, but after seeing it I figured there was no way it would be a bad chair. I was right. Its super comfy. Its plush but firm, and the leather (not sure if its real) is very smooth. The seat cushion is only rated at eight hours a day, so if you use it more, it can get kind of uncomfortable. I bought the chair for it's high back, being a tall person. It's much more comfortable than my old mid-back chair. Also, it bears noting that its REAL WOOD on the chair, not a veneer. Real wood, real stain, real poly. I dont know if this is common practice, but when I was putting my chair together I noticed I had two sets of arms. I figure it was a shipping mistake, but now if for some reason the arms on my chair become damaged, I have an extra pair to replace them!
Cons: As stated earlier, the chair gets uncomfortable after eight hours of use. Its not often I do this, though, so I cant really call it a con. My only real gripe is the shape of the back. I bought a high-back chair assuming it would be better for my posture than my old mid-back chair. The way the back of the chair contours to my back can be uncomfortable. I'm 6'5" and the chair comes up to just above my shoulders. This would be perfect if the contour of the cushion wasnt so concave. If i were 5 inches shorter this chair would be perfect, but as it stands now, it causes me to hunch a bit when sitting back.
Overall Review: All-in-all its a great chair. The best I've ever had, and worth the price. I spent $220 on newegg, and after shopping around, that was the best price I could find (the next closest was ama zon at $20 more). I cant fault the chair because I'm too tall for it, or because I use it more than what its rated for, so thats why I didnt dock any eggs. Its a quality chair for a decent price that will last me a long time.
Pros: Works great. Transfer speed is fast. I've never had an issue with the card working or losing data. Its been under a decent load, as I am adding and deleting data often. I bought it to store music on my phone for listening at work, but I also use it for pictures and videos. Anything to take some of the load off of my phone.
Cons: None. Never had an issue.
Overall Review: Im sure the adapter will come in handy one day, but I havent used it once.
Pros: Great sound. I got these after my Sony V6s died, and they honestly sound better. They feel solid, but light. the ear cushions are quite... fluffy. Dont know how else to say it. There's a lot of padding there. They fit well.
Cons: While the fit is nice, they still get a bit uncomfortable for me after a few hours of use. It might just be an issue for me, but there are times when I just have to take them off and give my ears a break.
Overall Review: The cans are huge. The pictures may be misleading. They will make you look like Mickey Mouse. But who cares if they sound great?
Pros: Its a nice, sleek white case. The front face is plastic, and the rest metal. The dust-filters are super convenient, and easy to clean. The blue LED fan isnt as bright as I thought. I actually kind of like it. I did have to tape over the power and activity LEDs, though. They were obnoxiously bright. The case is spacious for a mid tower, and the cable management is nice. The side panel is nearly half open, which gives it some good airflow. I like the look of a white case. Its tough finding one that is affordable, has good compatibility/features, and doesnt look terrible. This was the best one I could find in all of the above categories.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: You might need a full tower if you plan on doing an SLI build. This is good for now, but if I upgrade I dont know if I'd feel safe with two GPUs jammed next to each other unless there was a bit more breathing room.
Pros: Works great. Gives some nice leg room for upgrading later on.
Cons: Having some issues getting the USB 3.0 ports working correctly. I might have figured it out by now if I didnt procrastinate, but I installed the drivers for them. I read USB 3.0 should support a USB 2.0 device, but so far they havent.
Pros: Works great. It amazes me that this little thing can handle every game I throw at it on max settings. The only game to give me trouble was Skyrim after I added some post-processing filters. Once I removed them it was back to smooth sailing.
Cons: none
Overall Review: Theres a squealing coming from my computer after long periods of heavy use that mimicks a CRT monitor squeal. Not sure where its coming from, but it could possibly be the GPU. Either way, once I have some money, I plan on buying another one for an SLI setup.
