Most Favorable Review

Got 8 of these so far; love 'em.

CORSAIR Vengeance LP 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CML16GX3M4A1600C9
CORSAIR Vengeance LP 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CML16GX3M4A1600C9

Pros: Low profile, fits underneath my oversize cooler. MOBO picked up the XMP configurations, jumped right up to 1600. Passed a day of memtest 86 and prime95 without errors.

Cons: None; extreme overclockers will want the extra heatsink fins of the standard Vengence modules.

Overall Review: These are the same modules as the 1.5V certified XMP memory with the big heatsink fins but they're low profile. Don't know why they aren't marked as such on Newegg's banners. Unless you are overlocking to the point where you're overheating memory, these modules will make your build easy if you have big CPU coolers. i7-2600 Gigabyte MOBO

Most Critical Review

Thermaltake Armor+

Thermaltake ArmorPlus(Armor+) VH6000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Thermaltake ArmorPlus(Armor+) VH6000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case is big and heavy, and looks fantastic! It's solidly built and the window is nice. It has more than enough room for my Gigabyte Z68X-UD7-B3. It has a compartment in the top and a drawer that can be added to the front. The toolless design works well. The Black plastic parts have a nice, unbderstated sparkle in the paint. The power on button has a nice, solid feel. Case comes with two fans, one is in the front and has blue LEDs, the other is a 120 mm Enermax Vegas Duo, which is very good-looking.

Cons: Do not buy this case unless it is going to sit where you use it, this case is not for carrying to LAN parties. It is simply too heavy. I would like to see the option for the power supply to be on either the top or bottom, but this case wants it in the top. I had to repair the HDD activity indicator LED, as in assembly the wire had been severed.

Overall Review: Why didn't Thermaltake paint the inside of this gorgeous case? It has a large window, and it would be nice to have the inside look more polished.

Perfect in every way!

Kensington K72357US Slim Type USB Keyboard Compatible with PC or Mac (Black)
Kensington K72357US Slim Type USB Keyboard Compatible with PC or Mac (Black)

Pros: Slim, easy to type on, great for gaming, keys could not feel any better, design is stylish. If you are looking for a slim low-profile keyboard, look no further. Buy this one, the price is great and you will never be sorry you did. I was so impressed with this keyboard that I bought three of them, one for each of my computers. Supremely comfortable to type on. Quiet too.

Cons: None. If this keyboard had backlighting it would be totally perfect.

Overall Review: Buy it, seriously.

Unreliable

RAZER Lycosa Keyboard
RAZER Lycosa Keyboard

Pros: Great design! It is really a good-looking keyboard. Nice flat, soft, quiet keys. Keys are backlit.

Cons: Buggy! The Lycosa likes to lock onto a letter and just hammer on it so your character is running in circles or it's impossible to type. If it didn't have that problem this would be the perfect keyboard, because it is comfortable.

Overall Review: I think it's time for Razer to scrap the Lycosa in favor of a redesign that has fewer bats in it's belfry.
