Works fine

SanDisk X110 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SD6SB1M-256G-1001
SanDisk X110 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SD6SB1M-256G-1001

Pros: Works fine and fast

Cons: Nothing so far

Overall Review: Purchased 2 of these as this drive was the best bang for my buck at the time of purchase. I also got an external hard drive enclosure with raid support. Installed the drives, set to raid0, plugged into xbox1, everything fired right up with no issues. 500gb raid 0 external ssd for $120. Not too bad.

Decent Case

Rosewill FBM-01-W Dual Fans MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case

Pros: Got this case for $20 with a promocode. My wife loves the look she actually picked this one out over more expensive cases. 2 case fans. Actually pretty decent airflow.

Cons: There were no screw holes for standoffs to mount the right side corners for my micro atx motherboard. When i installed the ram and power on that right side, the board would bend pretty heavily. There is a 120mm front case fan, but no front vents to pull in air. Yet the fan still helps more air pass through the case.

Overall Review: At $40 - 3 eggs. At $20 - 4 eggs

Working solid almost 2 years now

Cons: Nothing

PC Power & Cooling Fatal1ty Gaming Series 750 Watt 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ750FTY)

Pros: good price. looks cool. i like the flat low profile modular cables. 80+. 5 year warranty. lots of amperage.

Cons: wells its powering a power hungry system just fine so what can i really complain about?

Overall Review: This PSU replaced another (hi-end/performance) power supply that died 11 months after purchase. It was replaced by warranty but why would you turn around and use a product a second time that just failed on you. We'll try OCZ this time. Oh.. and always look for that 5 year warranty.

No problems

MSI 880GMS-E41 (FX) AM3+ AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Good specs for the price. Best "bang for buck" at the time i was shopping for a micro atx board. Advanced bios features. Another quality board from MSI.

Cons: I cant find any cons.

Overall Review: The case I put this board in didnt have standoffs for the right side corners. When I installed the ram and power the board would bend pretty heavily which is always a concern. Yet the board loaded fine on the first boot without a hitch. Im always on the hunt for the best bang for your buck, MSI has earned that award a few times now, and I still have never had a technical problem with MSI hardware. This board had a $10 promo code and a $10 rebate. $40... score!
