Most Favorable Review

Not bad for simple storage

Western Digital WD Green WD20EZRX 2TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital WD Green WD20EZRX 2TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Space vs price not bad....power saving as well.

Cons: A bit loud while spooled up almost sounds like the bearings are worn out, will see if the drive craps out.

Overall Review: I really prefer Samsung spin-point drives, but once segate bought it out you can not get a good mechanical drive anymore. I have 15 spinpoint drives I ordered 9+ years ago still running in raid 0 same as the day I installed them with minimal sector loss and tons of data transfers to them and off again....Started with 18. The 3 I lost where at the 5 year mark....not a bad run for mechanical drives. Western digital drives would be much better if they would get away from bushings....dynamic fluid floats with dual cartage bearings means smoother longer operations...as far as the disk materials idk never made a data disk...but I know how to take them apart and fix things.

K70 goodness

Corsair Gaming K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Red LED - Cherry MX Red Switches
Corsair Gaming K70 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Red LED - Cherry MX Red Switches

Pros: very nice can never go wrong with cherry reds. high quality products as always, Built with metal gives it weight to stay put. This thing feels like a brick when in your hands, but put her on the desk and she sticks like glue. Nice add of key caps to switch out to for the gamers, nice grippy keys for the 1-6 and wasd. spacebar has the grippy already and takes a little getting use to if you have never had that before. FULL ANTI-GHOST!!! I have tested this a few times and no matter how many times you hold down every key they register. rocking product and worth the money hands down.

Cons: none.....

Overall Review: got into a batch of bad keys and the keyboard had a slur when typing but i use it for fps so no issues while waiting for the rapid replacement. one of few companies that will ship out a replacement while you still use the defective one....zero down time!!!!

love it

Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick (PS3 & PC)
Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick (PS3 & PC)

Pros: great flight stick love the layout and where all the buttons are. Use this for Bf3/4 and arma 3, great response times in both heli and jet use.

Cons: dont open my monsters and keep the cool for me....lol

Overall Review: in arma 3 you can only use the top 50% of the throttle for heli's and make sure you use the analog thrust when mapping. this is not the sticks fault at all it is arma's because they do not think people would use joysticks to fly....they prefer everyone use keyboard and mouse.

great fan

COUGAR CF-V14HB Vortex Hydro-Dynamic-Bearing (Fluid) 300,000 Hours 14CM Silent Cooling Fan (Black)
COUGAR CF-V14HB Vortex Hydro-Dynamic-Bearing (Fluid) 300,000 Hours 14CM Silent Cooling Fan (Black)

Pros: love the fan I have a whole set in one of my towers and they move a lot of air even at lowest rpm's. see other thoughts ....

Cons: none

Overall Review: not a con at all here, make sure when mounting these fans that the metal or whatever they are mounted to isn't cheap because it will cause vibration because of the force from these fans. they are made to move air and that they do well....could probably use the motor and blades from this and make a model airplane fly well.

So far so good

Professional USB 3.0 7 Port Hub + 5V 2A Power Adapter (VIA VL812 Chipset - USB 2.0 compatible)
Professional USB 3.0 7 Port Hub + 5V 2A Power Adapter (VIA VL812 Chipset - USB 2.0 compatible)

Pros: So far the hub is working well and I like to ability to cut power whenever I need to or just flip it on to charge devices. 7 ports and external power its does what I need it to do, Speeds for transfers and just about on par for 3.0 speed I just notice it dips off a bit when a 2.0 or lower is plugged in, but nothing to worry about there just use of different protocols on the same pipe it's to be expected.

Cons: not a con so much but would like to see a more slim line power plug the big box transformer could have been slimmed down to take up less space on my power strip. Then some way to mount it on a wall or rail would be nice too....right now just have it zip tied to my monitor stand lol.

Gskill is still the best

G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C10D-8GSR
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-2133C10D-8GSR

Pros: Love how its never a fail with gskill, but if they do they are always fast to fix it....face it people when stuff is mass produced there will always be a few bad eggs. =p anyways picked up as 1866 first time around on my gigabyte 970A-D3P but setting the timings in bios and bumping it up to full speed nothing but stable.

Cons: none....not 16 gig kit at this price anymore?

Overall Review: have been able to get it stable with a cl of 9 and still tweaking will post back if I can get it lower and stable at full 2166 speed.
