great headset

Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 with 7.1 Surround Sound, Wireless Headphones with Microphone
Logitech Wireless Gaming Headset G930 with 7.1 Surround Sound, Wireless Headphones with Microphone

Pros: range is amazing (75+ feet) volume controls and buttons extremely useful. being able to use them while charging is also very nice. very comfortable, blocks out noise very well.

Cons: the charging port broke after about 5 months, which i was able to RMA successfully. sometimes disconnects randomly, other times it works without a hitch for hours. The driver is absolute garbage, but unfortunately some games do not sound right without the driver installed. With windows 8, if the driver is not running, the volume adjust icon shows up on your monitor, with the driver on and working, the icon does not show up (it stll adjusts volume though)

Overall Review: all in all, the headset is pretty good.anytime you get a wireless product, you can expect to have some interference. however, the driver needs a serious overhaul.

Pros: neat looking, i guess. works well when you have good earplugs in...

Cons: weak-sause sound, everyone around you can hear your music

Overall Review: i thought these would be cool so i bought them when they were shellshocker, very disappointed. these are much less "bone conducting" and more a tinny loudspeaker on your face. the sound quality was greatly improved when i put these on while wearing my custom molded earplugs, but that kind of defeats the purpose of these.

interesting pick-up

Pros: solid feeling screwdriver set fully functioning usb 3 sata reader good stopwatch ultimate nerd status

Cons: doesn't perfectly cook bacon

Overall Review: I bought this mainly because I was looking for a small usb 3 to sata adapter, and I can never have enough small screwdrivers. the stopwatch and fancy looking case were nice extras. at the price I paid, it was less than the cost of a driver and sata reader so I figured why not get some extra nerd street cred.

loud, but very effective

COUGAR CF-V12H Vortex Hydro-Dynamic-Bearing (Fluid) 300,000 Hours 12CM Silent Cooling Fan

Pros: got 4 of these to use in my CM Scout case as various intake/exhaust fans. They manage to keep my case temperature between 2-4 degrees above ambient, and thats with 2 open air 670's and an i5 3570k @ 4.5 GHz. I would call that extremely effective. One of them acts as an exhaust on the side of the case next to one of the GFX cards and it actually works extremely well as a space heater for my feet.

Cons: LOUD. I first hooked these up directly to the power supply and i thought that i was on an airplane. I ended up having to buy a fan controller after about 3 days because it was driving me nuts.

Overall Review: even with my fan controller set to lowest setting, they still keep the pc very cool under idle, and generally my heavy use is only gaming, and I use headphones, so turning them up to max then doesnt bug me too much. Only 1 egg off for calling these "silent" as they are noticeably louder than my stock case fans.

awesome, but hardly necessary

Pros: well this device looks and feels cool. the construction is very solid (over built imho, but thats never bad). the feeling of clicking the drive into place is very satisfying.

Cons: unecessary. it mimics a hot swap bay, but oesnt really have any of the benefits, ie, not haivng to fuss with cables.

Overall Review: I bought this for the looks, not the functionality. I put my drives into my case backwards (the sata connectors towards the front when the case is open) to make this thing have any point, but it sure looks cool. great for SSD's, but I would not recommend for hdd's as the drives are very closely stacked and i doubt they would get good airflow.

amazing card

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 670 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N670WF2-2GD

Pros: runs every game i have thrown at in on ultra, full MSAA @ 1080p have yet to get it hotter than 62 degrees quiet

Cons: doesnt look as fancy than some others, but WHO CARES

Overall Review: i bought one almost a year ago at $275 on a boxing day deal, and just picked up another for the same price since theyre being discontinued. In SLI I can run BF4 on absolute max settings with resolution scaling turned up to 130%, and 64x MSAA enabled in the driver at a constant 60 fps. They also overclock like a champ due to the incredible cooling. I got 2 of these for under $600, and am getting much better performance than i would from a titan. awwwwww yea
