Pros: * Lots of customization in the bios * Bluetooth and wifi on-board (I only plan on using the bluetooth) * Built-in overclocking switches * Worked with all my components right away * Great Linux support (Fedora 20+)

Cons: For whatever reason, using the TPU II switch causes Windows setup to throw a "machine_check_exception". The only way around it was to set it to 1. I sadly had to dock an egg for that because it was a huge waste of time for me to discover THAT was the reason why I couldn't get windows installed. I was able to install Linux perfectly fine though.

Overall Review: Newegg needs to either stop being selective on their RMA requests or revise their replacement policy. I had a board come in that had bent pins and the customer service department said I was trying to return it (I was trying to get a replacement) and said I damaged it. This led to HUGE amount of frustration when they said they'd give me store credit to buy a new board... which I wouldn't have got till Tuesday that next week. Basically, I got third class service, and apparently the only way to get things done the right way is to complain on their facebook page. That's actually very depressing and I expect better from Newegg. The multiple times my family has RMA'd motherboards for replacements, they got their replacements no questions asked. Loyal customers (for me, since 2006) get treated a much more negative way than new-ish customers. If you happen to get a bad board, RMA it with Asus. Dealing with newegg will be the biggest mistake you'll ever make. Trust me on that.

Pros: * Lots of spacee * Pretty fast for a platter drive

Cons: I bought two of these drives and I'm not sure if's the motherboard (Z87) or the drives. But both drives act REALLY wonky. To the point that when a hard drive operation is to occur, everything goes to a complete stand still. And when it finally decides to go, I hear clicking like it's powering on, though it's been powered on and moving this whole time.

Overall Review: Two seagates in a row that acted like this to me in the same order. That's rare for me, but things happen. I may have to see about the warranty.

Pros: Great fit, feels good, USB. Comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time. Sound and software for games works fine. An OK replacement for vengeance 1500.

Cons: My previous headset, the Corsair Vengeance 1500, I've owned since 2011. Great headset! Too bad they died recently, so I bought these thinking they'd do the last one justice. I was wrong. The music is definitely lacking as compared to the Vengeance 1500 (first revision, not the one before these). It's actually VERY sad. I'm disappointed.

Overall Review: If you want a gaming headset that's USB, this is the way to go. If you're wanting a decent music listen on top of that, turn away and find something better. The HyperX may be a better choice in this case, but it's not USB, so your sound card may end up playing another role in that.

Pros: * Low noise * Lots of fans, keeps it cool * Adjustable fan speed switches * Useful placement of front panel USB and audio ports Runs very cool, very quiet. I've been buying antec cases for a while now, and this one is pretty good.

Cons: * The hard drive cages that have the fan in them are kind of a pain to deal with * If you plan on having a lot of cords or hard drives, prepare for a battle, it gets kind of cramped! As a side note, the front fans got kind of noisy when I filled the cages with all three of my drives. I'm not sure if this is because there's so much weight now or if it's something else. It's a sort of low level buzzing and I have sensitive ears. These cons weren't really enough of a problem to dock an egg.

Overall Review: I think my top fan was supposed to have blue lights in them... and it has the holes to actually shine them out.... but there's no blue. Not a big deal. The fan works and that's all that matters to me!

Pros: This phone has a very nice size compared to my Nexus One, which I've had for years now. The phone is very snappy, very fast, even with avast and beautiful widgets running in the background. 16gb is enough space to hold pictures, music, and anything else you'd like. The sound is nice, the cameras work really well, overall I'm very impressed with it.

Cons: I ran into a few things that I personally believed were significant to bring one egg down on the rating. -When I got my phone and I received a text message, the light was supposed to be white. Sure, it's white in the back, but it seems where the led is there is some color distortion, like there's a color wheel sitting there. Even if it's a different color (using lightflow), it's still noticeable. I thought that was disappointing. -The phone did NOT ask me for my email address first, but had no accounts registered. The keyboard was chinese input. Used? -When I unlocked the bootloader and had to put my email address and such in, everything was in chinese. What gives? I was able to change it, but come on, really? -Will NOT sync facebook contacts at all in version 4.0.2. Those who were lucky to get 4.0.3 can, though that OS is bugged.

Overall Review: If you plan on getting this phone, MAKE SURE you get the app Lightflow. Get the free version first and see if you like it. It allows you to control the color on your led and even the notification sounds if you don't want one sound for everything. I personally like one sound, but give the app a try! Also, if you use skype on a previous android phone and using your gmail on this phone causes you to download it again, make sure to see if it's fully updated, otherwise the cameras don't work at all. Just a heads up! I'll have a video review soon on my youtube, starcraftsportsnet.

Pros: I bought an i7 Sandy Bridge CPU with this board, along with some Ripjaw 1333 memory. All of it worked together instantly as I put it together. And I mean, right after I built everything together into the PC and turned the power on, everything worked INSTANTLY. This is the first build I've done as a whole that worked that flawlessly off the bat. The EFI BIOS is nice, I can point and click my way through. It provides a simple mode and an advanced mode. Really neat, and I recommend checking through all the menus. You'll find some things you might find interesting. Windows 7 setup was a breeze. Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Cons: I had trouble getting the sata cords to go in, but that isn't enough of a problem to dock an egg for that. Never. As long as I got it in, it's fine.

Overall Review: I use UltraISO for my burning and mounting needs. I ran into an issue where I was trying to burn discs and I needed to actually install the rapid storage driver on to my computer to actually get it to work. Whether this is a bug or not, I don't know. But, all in all, the system works great, and my games run the best they've ever run before. I recommend this board to anyone planning to get sandy bridge CPU's!
