Pros: Booted up fast and easy, no problems.

Cons: Not color coded, and writing is fairly small.

Great case

Phanteks Eclipse P400S PH-EC416PSTG_BK Silent Edition Satin Black Tempered Glass/Steel RGB ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Phanteks Eclipse P400S PH-EC416PSTG_BK Silent Edition Satin Black Tempered Glass/Steel RGB ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case looks amazing. All of the stuff you need for you installation is in the box. I opted for full air cooling ( not over clocking just yet ). Everything out together worked very well and the cable management was easy to work with. I used the evo 212 for a cpu cooler, it fits very well in this case and you can run vitually any gpu you could throw high at it it seems. Lots of extra room, and very silent even running 3 120mm, and 2 140mm fans. For the price and what you get this is just an amazing deal.

Cons: The panel with all of the cables I wish was a little deeper. It would make the install easier. There is a very slight bow in the panel because of where the larger rail power cable runs. The metal is slightly thin and the instructions for install are very very vague, however it's all very easy. Lastly, the led lighting is a strip with a few magnets, it doesn't mount and stay very very well. It would have been better if they used a better way to mount of maybe another small magnet or something. Just woke future reference.

Overall Review: I will update this after I go with some new interals and possible water cooling soon.

CM Devastator

CM Storm Devastator - LED Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo (Green LED Model)
CM Storm Devastator - LED Gaming Keyboard & Mouse Combo (Green LED Model)

Pros: Out of the box everything worked great. The board is not extremely cheap, but it will not win any awards for build quality. LEDS are not over-powering, everything looks great with my set up. My case sits on my desk and also lights up green so it all mixes well together. I rather enjoy this mouse and board. I would recommend buying this if you want a decent combo with LED backlight for cheap.

Cons: Only 2 small cons. The mouse LED lights do not turn off unless you unplug. The buttons, though work as they should, the paint over the keys kind of chip and you can see the green led threw the chips. However, you get what you pay for. If your looking for extreme quality and all that then go buy a razar board for like $300. All in all this is a good keyboard and I would definitely buy again.

Overall Review: If they changed the mouse to turn off when the computer powered down I would buy this product for my other computers as well. Great product for the price.

AMD a4-5300

AMD A4-5300 - A-Series APU Trinity Dual-Core 3.4GHz (3.6GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 65W AMD Radeon HD 7480D Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic - AD5300OKHJBOX
AMD A4-5300 - A-Series APU Trinity Dual-Core 3.4GHz (3.6GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 65W AMD Radeon HD 7480D Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic - AD5300OKHJBOX

Pros: I paired this APU with a ASUS A55BM-a MB and booted it up. Off the bat I put windows 7 (windows 8 is terrible and takes up alot of ram. With the apu and windows 8 it took a little over 1gb of ram from me.) This APU is nice, its very fast and can handle everything I need. I play counter strike a lot and this runs CSS with ease on high settings. Newer games you would probably want to upgrade to a better GPU.

Cons: None, it starts right up and runs things as fast as i could ask for. Glad i bought this chip. for the price it is well worth it.

Very nice

RAIDMAX SMILODON Extreme Black ATX-612WEBP 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power Supply
RAIDMAX SMILODON Extreme Black ATX-612WEBP 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power Supply

Pros: I like the fact this case has many fans. I wont worry so much about my APU heating up. I like the color of the case, and also the colors of the lights. I havent owned very long but im happy i bought this case. (even if the PSU went out id still be happy i bought this case.) Fans also seemd to be made of good quality. Some people have complained but i see no need to compalin. Lots off fans to keep the CPU running cool is always a +

Cons: There are only 2 cons i found with this case. 1. The wiring for the lights, start button ECT. Where not color coded the way it said in the book. The "blue" was purple and 2 other wires were different from what in the book. No biggy, alsong as you read the motherboard insructions its fine because they are clearly marked with white lettering. 2. I though the front latched closed somehow but it does not. It seems like there is a small set of low powered magnets that keeps it from swinging freely. This is a little annoying since the case is a bit on the bigger side, I am afraid i will accidently rip the front off when trying to move it. (if you never move your pc then this is absolutely no big deal)

Overall Review: Well constructed. Well priced with the PSU. I really love this case, makes me love my pc even more haha

Nice watch

KS Men's Roman Skeleton Dial Mechanical Luminous Analog Leather Band Wrist Watch
KS Men's Roman Skeleton Dial Mechanical Luminous Analog Leather Band Wrist Watch

Pros: Watch came in without physical damage. Everything works as it should. Leaver work is good. Came in a box with everything it said it was to. Great looking watch, loved it as soon as I put it on.

Cons: Reason for 4/5 eggs is the package it came in had very minimum protection. The watch had bubble wrap around it but the whole package is small and pretty much unprotected. Even still, the watch game in with no damage. It was handled well in shipping. The only con I can see for the watch is you can wind it too much, there is no safety to stop over winding (stated by the manual). So if you buy remember, wind only until you feel resistance or 20 winds.

Overall Review: I like the watch. Great looking, works as intended. Looks expensive. Love the watch. Great buy if you don't mind the wait for shipping.
