Great case
Pros: I used this case for my first ever computer build and I really like all the space I have. I didn't need one of the 3.5" cages or the 2.5" cage so I removed those without any tool easily and made even better space and air flow for my fans (2 120 mm top + 3 included).
Cons: the open slot on the top left to route the cpu connector is completely covered by my mother board so it is pretty useless. :/

WIndows 8 ruined my laptop
Pros: Looks nice
Cons: Owned this laptop for 3 days and for 3 days straight I have being trying to update windows, but I have constantly been receiving errors and crashes while trying to update windows or open my web browser. These errors, crashes/Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) have been; BAD_POOL_CALLER, KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK, and DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL(tcpip.sys). The laptop is brand new and there should not be this many problems. I've tried contacting asus and newegg customer support for a attempt to get a repair/replacement laptop for my malfunctioning laptop.
Beautiful, but terrible speakers
Pros: The overall look of the monitor and the display is phenomenal.
Cons: Before purchasing this monitor I say that a large amount of cons with this monitor was that the quality of sound from the speakers were very bad. figuring it was just an exaggeration I didn't pay it no mind, but now that I have the monitor I realize they were all true. The loudness alone is very poor. I have all my audio settings at max. and everything still seems whisper quiet.
Overall Review: Overall a good monitor, but if you are looking to purchase this monitor because it has speakers, I wouldn't recommend it because it will be a bitter disappointment and will end up just using your headset :/
Pretty good
Pros: Got it on sale for $52 and I'm happy with what I am seeing so far
Cons: had to go into the bios to have the ram set from 1333 to 1600

Great
Pros: This board is great. Once I got used to the BIOS, I could easily change the settings how I wanted them and OC genie worked like a charm on my 3570k
Cons: nope

Beast
Pros: First build ever and going from console to pc gaming I've noticed as HUGE difference in the graphics in gaming with this thing. I can play all games at max settings with >60 FPS.
Cons: I had a few problems to be expected because I've never put my own computer together before, but I had troubles with getting a signal on my montior and getting the GPU to be used as my primary graphics. Didn't take an egg off because it was my fault and I solved it after day of forum hunting :D
