Quiet, Brings what I expected

Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid Cooling System
Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Liquid Cooling System

Pros: This cooler came to me in a time of when I didn't think I needed more cooling. Little did I know how much punch this cool little unit brings. It was amazingly more quiet than my 92mm fan cooler. It also had a small footprint in my case. A

Cons: The instructions that came with this were no help. I had to use common sense to install the cooler rather than following directions.

Overall Review: I had a little bit of an adventure when I got this. The unit first came without the LGA775 bracket. I called Antec and was shipped promptly the bracket. However the bracket did not come with the proper screws. I then called and got a package with screws, which did not work. Then after running my air cooler, I finally called Antec and one day after, received a new bracket, screws and wipes for my monitor. AMAZING CS by Antec.

Most Critical Review

Good Cheap Everyday Card

EVGA GeForce GT 520 (Fermi) 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card 02G-P3-1527-KR
EVGA GeForce GT 520 (Fermi) 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card 02G-P3-1527-KR

Pros: This Card helped me get a use of my computer when my older card decided to die out 1 month after warranty. It is priced at what it should do. It makes a fast responsive system at a great price. Here and there a little simple gaming is fine. I absolutely love how quiet this card is under load. My older card would be louder than all my case fans and this one is just fine.

Cons: What really had me getting angry was the memory rating. It said 1000mhz on the box, but in the EVGA Provided GPU monitoring software it said it was only running at 500mhz. Also the cooling looks horrible. It has a heat-sink over the GPU Core and a tiny maybe 20mm fan over it. I can power up the fan all the way and it does next to nothing in terms of cooling.

Overall Review: The Card can be used for simpler games, but nothing special. DO NOT expect this to play any of the newer games at playable Framerates,

Does what a keyboard does

GIGABYTE GK-K6800 Glossy Black 103 Normal Keys 14 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Professional Multimedia Keyboard
GIGABYTE GK-K6800 Glossy Black 103 Normal Keys 14 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Professional Multimedia Keyboard

Pros: This keyboard replaced my older PS/2 keyboard. It has the coolest volume control wheel and multimedia buttons.

Cons: The buttons on this feel mushy. Also the backspace key is smaller compared to the conventional layout.

Overall Review: When compared to my older PS/2 keyboard the only difference is the buttons. The mushy buttons are a HUGE difference to the old "Clickaty Clackaty" from my old keyboard.

Its a Battery Pack

Pros: I ordered this to replace a lost battery pack. This one does its job nothing more.

Cons: The plastic seems to be thinner than the stock battery pack. This could be a problem if it's left on the floor and stepped on or it is thrown around.

Overall Review: It does it's job.

Great Mouse For the Price

Rosewill RM-5000L 5000 DPI Laser Gaming Mouse w/ Adjustable Weights
Rosewill RM-5000L 5000 DPI Laser Gaming Mouse w/ Adjustable Weights

Pros: I got this mouse at an incredible price along with a mouse pad. I've always used stock mouses that came with computers. When I got this mouse it was a total new feeling. It is much more comfortable for gaming and everyday use. The weights also help to give the mouse a more solid feel.

Cons: Unfortunately the whole mouse is plastic. This makes it feel cheap and weak. Also clicking is a little awkward. I feel as though the button does not return quick enough. Last the forward and back buttons are put too close to much thumb, but that could just be me.

Overall Review: The Burst switch only affects the left button. Not that much of a biggy.

Amazing! Faulty Parts

Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow, Supporting up to Six 120mm Fans and USB 3.0
Cooler Master HAF 912 - Mid Tower Computer Case with High Airflow, Supporting up to Six 120mm Fans and USB 3.0

Pros: I was in the market for a new case after my old case proved to not have enough airflow for a newer computer. I bought this and I am very impressed. It cooled my CPU 40F from my old computer on average! I really like how you can place the 2.5 drive cage on top of the lower 3.5 inch one.

Cons: When Installing the motherboard I couldn't get the stand offs to align with the MOBO holes. Other than that nothing to speak of.

Overall Review: The Headphone Jack on the front panel audio Broke. Got it replaced 1 week after I called. Now my fan speed reader is saying the stock fan is running at only 500rpm while the exhaust one is at 700rpm?
