Pros: Stable, powerful, no gimmicky features I don't really care about. It comes with a single M.2 SSD slot, which I plan on utilizing when 10Gbps M.2 drives are launched, as well as 2 SATA Express ports, which I'm not sure I'll use yet.

Cons: No bluetooth, but that can be easily remedied.

Overall Review: I'm fairly wary about the considerable number of negative reviews on this board, especially the apparently high rate of failure people seem to be experiencing. Hopefully I don't run into any issues with it. I intentionally waited to write this review solely because of this.

Pros: Pro version

Cons: Regardless of my reanalysis of the pricing, I still believe it is too expensive to justify purchasing. Not to mention, it is misleading to potential buyers as it doesn't explain it is solely an upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Pro.

Overall Review: This is an update to my previous review. I realize the pricing for this item is in reference to retail versions of Windows 8, rather than the OEM versions, as I was referring to. In that regard, the pricing is not outrageously gouged. It's still a better deal to go for the OEM version, though, unless you plan on upgrading your motherboard/cpu and reinstalling Win8.1 again.

Pros: Very smooth key switches. Lighting effects are really cool. The keyboard itself is EXTREMELY sturdy, though it is a little heavy (which is to be expected with the aluminum construction). The media keys are perfect, and the Corsair Utility Engine software can be configured to prioritize certain programs/media players over others so you don't accidentally start playing music in Winamp while watching a movie in VLC. There is a list of pre-configured items already loaded in the software, but new items can be added. I use Google Play Music for all my music needs, and CUE was able to recognize the tab Google Music was in and configured itself to be able to play/pause the music without any special programming. The volume rollbar feels a little stiff, but I'd rather it be that way rather than too loose.

Cons: Definitely on the pricey side, but after using the thing, I feel it is justified. Certain actions when programming the LEDs causes the color to shift in odd ways - red becomes purple, yellow becomes dark green, etc. I suspect this is just a glitch with CUE and will be ironed out soon. CUE isn't very intuitive (at all) and the manual is ~150 pages long.

Overall Review: Bought to replace a Logitech G510 and Razer Deathstalker.

Pros: This card is incredible. I play games in 5760x1080 resolution, and this thing has chewed through absolutely everything I've thrown at it so far. My old setup involved 3 GTX 570's in SLI (I replaced them due to failure), and this single card outdoes everything those cards were capable of together by more than 300%. At base clock speeds, 3DMark Fire Strike (performance) netted me a score of ~9,200.

Cons: This isn't enough to knock off an egg, but the card is pretty expensive. I feel the investment was worth it, though.

Overall Review: I haven't had an opportunity to give Shadowplay a test run yet due to no support for Surround setups. However, this really isn't an issue with the card itself, but rather the Shadowplay software - most likely, surround support will be added later on in the beta testing. I have every intention of purchasing a second card somewhere down the line and running in 2x SLI.

Pros: Fast, high capacity, can hold most anything I throw at it.

Cons: The slider that covers the USB connector is a little loose, and slides down in my pocket/backpack a lot, which makes me a bit nervous that it'll get damaged.

Overall Review: I use this for .ISO storage for my job as an IT professional. CDs and DVDs can only get you so far nowadays.

Pros: Good looking, keeps CPU at ~35C idle, ~50-55C under load. Corsair Link is a nice little feature to keep an eye on fan speeds and temps. The low profile of the water block is much more appealing than any air cooler, and the LED lights are a nice bonus.

Cons: Not really a con, though I'd like to be able to expand the rad without voiding warranty. Guess I'll have to migrate to a custom loop in the future.

Overall Review: Great cooling unit if your case has the mounting space for a 240mm rad.
