Razer to G.Skill

G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780 MX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Blue with Gaming Keycaps
G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780 MX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Blue with Gaming Keycaps

Pros: The keyboard it's self has a nice steel feel to it compared to all the other plastic keyboards out there. Went from Blackwidow Ultimate to this keyboard. This keyboard I have been using for a whole day now. The clicks aren't as plastic and high pitch as the Blackwidow is. I was very cautious in buying this keyboard since it's G.Skill a brand not know for keyboards but for RAM. At the time this was the best keyboard out in the market that had MX Blue and was well priced. The overall look of this is 10/10 and feel I would say is 9/10 but may be a 10/10 since i'm not used to Cherry keys coming from Razer. I really wanted a razer product but after dealing with their software and having it kill my keyboard on the newest update, I had to go with a different brand and since I have G.Skill memory and have been using it for 7 years I decided to give their keyboards a go. I love the rollie pollie volume control and it's metal not cheap plastic. I really wanted the RGB version of this but that doesn't come out until April and my keyboard broke and I couldn't not use a clicky keyboard.

Cons: The wrist rest is very plasticy. doesn't really connect well to the keyboard, but most keyboards don't have the bottom rest so even though it's not what I expected when the keyboard material is A+, it does it's job.

Overall Review: For the price I paid and getting a free mousepad, which wasn't that great, but it gave opening the package a nice new car smell, this was a very good buy. I will miss my blackwidow for a couple of days until i get used to the cherry keys, but I will not miss having really bad software and bad firmware upgrades. G.Skill site has everything right there on the page instead of navigating in and out trying to find the updates. For everyone who doesn't understand some of the lingo. Cherry MX are the standard keys used in all keyboards around the world. Cherry MX has different types of key strokes, This keyboard has Cherry MX Blue. Blue and Green have the clicking noise when you press the key. Green needs a harder click about 3 times more pressure than the blue, like laptop keys. Razer's green key strock is about the same as Cherry MX Blue.

Still works

Pros: Works, still works even though they aren't as stable as IDE and SATA.

Cons: Must be update with latest firmware before actually using. If you don't have a bay or an extra slot be sketchy about this as if you don't have the latest updates, it will increase dramatically the chance of it dieing on you.

Overall Review: Not for new computer people. If you read instructions and have common sense you could possible read some instructions on how to update it.

Much better looking then the Newer version

Cooler Master V6 GT - CPU Cooler with Dual 120 mm PWM Fans and 6 Heatpipes
Cooler Master V6 GT - CPU Cooler with Dual 120 mm PWM Fans and 6 Heatpipes

Pros: 3 different colors, Red, Purple, And Blue. Not light colors and not dark. I call them Might Morphing Power Ranger Colors as that is what they look like. Great airflow and keeps my processor cool when overclocking

Cons: Pain in the rear to put together. the fans that sit on the sides are a perfect fit where you are saying well that was easy, it's a tight fit where you curse at it and say C'MON! but after doing it 2 times you get used to it.

Overall Review: The newer version doesn't look as cool as this one. This one has better protection if you are constantly in your computer fixing stuff. This thing grabs dust like a beast so a cleaning every 2 or 3 months is probably a good idea.

Works good

Cirago DPA2011 Mini DisplayPort to VGA (HD-15) Active Adapter
Cirago DPA2011 Mini DisplayPort to VGA (HD-15) Active Adapter

Pros: OK, allot of people don't understand how this works so i will explain it before people buy this and give it bad reviews. This is for a mini display port that is mostly used for multiple display cards. I currently own 2 6870 radeons and i have 2 of these. Due to VGA requires little to no power compared to DVI and HDMI, there is no such thing as a passive VGA adapter. What is the difference between passive and active? Active has a usb connection that needs to be hooked up to give it more juice to make the adapter work. Yes the quality is VGA quality, BUT due to the price of the VGA adapters and vga displays themselves it's way worth it.

Cons: Doesn't show great resolution on nice enhanced monitors, thats because it's vga. These usually tend to break easily but it has lasted 2 years in college and allot of wear on 2 of them and nothing drastic has happened. Every now and then if i leave my computer on for a long time, like if i leave for work and it goes to sleep and i come back, the display will go to 640x460 res and it can't be fixed unless a restart. Doesn't happen much but i think that is more of a video card problem then this device it's self.

Overall Review: Very good piece if you have a video card with MINI display port and want to hook up more monitors. YES, THIS ADAPTER DOES WORK FOR INFINITY DISPLAY. if you don't know what that is it's when you take 3 monitors like this [ /][ W ][\ ] and turn them into 1 [/\/\/\/\/\/\]

Best RAM ever

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin PC RAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin PC RAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL

Pros: The price, the power, the brand, customer choice award, always on sale or package deal.

Cons: Sometimes it's a little hard to clip them on the MOBO due to heat sink in small areas.

Overall Review: It's G.Skill. Most pro gamers use g.skill RAM, no other company comes close. out of the top 10 g.skill has 7.

Bought by accident

Western Digital Blue WD1600AAJB 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Cheap for amount of space

Cons: none

Overall Review: I accidentally bought this during a sale thinking it was SATA. Although at first i was upset, i got over it and put it in my parents computer as it was much better than what they had. This was so cheap during the sale i was just so excited about the deal i just bought it.
