TOSHIBA Qosmio - 17.3" NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M - Intel Core i7-4700MQ  - 16GB Memory - 256 GB SSD - Windows 8 - Gaming Laptop - (X75-A7298 )
TOSHIBA Qosmio - 17.3" NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M - Intel Core i7-4700MQ - 16GB Memory - 256 GB SSD - Windows 8 - Gaming Laptop - (X75-A7298 )

Pros: Plays every game I've thrown at it so far, looks nice, 1-3 sec to login screen, Great audio, beautiful screen, 4 usb 3.0 ports, quality blu-ray hardware, awesome back-lit keyboard/buttons, easy disassembly, eco-mode works great if you're not the best at manipulating the settings in the power menu. Does everything it says it does

Cons: Only 1 hdmi port, the mesh over the built in speakers just absorbs dust, built in cam could be better, no rubber lid stops, track-pad layout is awful, gets hot if you use it in complete disregard that it's a laptop and not a fully vented desktop though they could've taken ideas from asus and alienware and their laptop airflow solutions.

Overall Review: I see lot of reviews that rate down the PRODUCT when customer service falls through which is not what they bought, also if you rate it down for battery life you're obviously used to low power i3's and silly amd things, this is a GAMING laptop, not a silly little college netbook. And don't rate it down for the OS either, bunch of spoiled little things because you don't like it, it clearly states windows 8 so theres no reason to mention it sucks. You rate it by how it performs and hardware malfunctions go under OTHER since that was not part of the design. And heat, you can write down that it gets hot, but mine only heat crashes because Battlefield 4 likes to run the cpu at 150% to load the map in 3 seconds and its spikes from 60 to 100 in about 3 seconds which is DICE's fault and thats only happened 3 times for me, prop that sucker up so its not sitting in its own heat and adjust the graphcs settings within it's capabilities and it'll never crash.

EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750 B 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified 750W Active PFC ATX12V v2.31/EPS 12V v2.91 5 Year Warranty 120-PB-0750-KR SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular NEW 4th Gen CPU Certified Intel 4th Gen CPU Ready Power Supply

Pros: 750W, somewhat modular, good price.

Cons: Not fully modular

Overall Review: First off I had ordered the Gold Certified from EVGA and got this, was going to just deal with it but it blew up on first start when I tried to POST my motherboard while testing components.

NZXT 5.25-Inch Hue RGB LED Color Changing Controller (AA-HUE30-01)
NZXT 5.25-Inch Hue RGB LED Color Changing Controller (AA-HUE30-01)

Pros: Colorful, breathes/flashes/cycles, it comes in black, 3 knobs make the box look clean instead of messy with controls, easy installation to the 5.25 slot

Cons: might be difficult for some people to understand that the knobs have like 3 different uses, not as bright as I'd hoped for being connected directly to the PSU, the connector was to a SATA port but didn't come with a power cable so I had to dig through some my box of misc cables to find one. Not quiet as deep colors as I'd hoped. Doesn't have software to let me manipulate it.

Overall Review: A good buy if you want more than 1 or 2 colors

Microsoft Titanfall Limited Edition Wireless Controller
Microsoft Titanfall Limited Edition Wireless Controller

Pros: Wireless, fully integrated battery packs now, sleek modern look, awesome graphics, ergonomic, the right fit for my hands compared to a silly failshock which makes them cramp after about 20 mins, new button fonts which really stand out. I really nice paperweight for now

Cons: No PC support yet, doesn't double as a media remote I guess, I'm just whining.

Overall Review: A very good successor to the 360 controller, they really took all the feedback and implemented it into developing this controller

ASUS Black 12X Blu-ray Burner SATA BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS

Pros: Blah Blur-Ray Burner, reads stuff, works, ASUS, stuff.

Cons: Didn't come with SATA cables if I remember correctly.

Overall Review: Review done

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G
Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound AS5-3.5G

Pros: AS 5, keeps stuff cooler.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Ordered with express processing and 2 day. It was the last thing I received when I ordered my pc parts, arriving about an hour after a package I ordered 1 week before. So basically I paid double the price for slow shipping, not sure if I got refunded the extra.
