Pros: Never received a dead stick, works great in most use cases.

Cons: I have not managed to find a stable profile for this DIMM to run 32GB (4x8GB) at 1866 in line with a FX-8370 on a FX990 chip set. I have, multiple times, successfully managed to run 16GB (both 2x8GB and 4x4GB) of the Ripjaw X-series at 1866 with the above specs.

Overall Review: Though I am disappointed with the failure to hit the 1866 with the larger capacity, the user experience difference between 1600 and 1866 is negligible. Also, this particular DIM is not listed on the approved ram on any of my motherboards at 1866 speeds, thus I do not feel "deceived", so only losses one egg in my book. Conclusion: good sticks, though I realize we are transitioning to the new standard of DDR4. Currently running this model on the following set ups: 32GB (4x8GB) @ 1600 on ASUS Sabertooth 990fx r1 with FX-8370 32GB (4x8GB) @ 1600 on MSI 990FXA-GD80 v2 with FX-6300

Pros: It runs, boots faster, has multiple devices supported.

Cons: Hard to know where to start: Does not allow use of multiple drives for os vs application. It benefits the system in multiple way. By using a small ssd for the os and a large hhd for applications this allows the computer to run fast across the ssd yielding a smoother and faster user experience while having plenty of space on a cheaper hhd. Also, this set up hardens your os as basic root .exe files and attachments are unable to write to the os or driver frame. I cannot understand why Microsoft insists on making sup par products and trying to muscle control of the market. This is not game time ready. They did not backward test the drivers effectively so it is unable to run many add ons and devices that run great under every other os out there, but crash in a windows 8 environment. Security? what security? This os will not allow direct access for restriction and closing of port 80 and other ip ports. They have written paths in the os to allow it to over-ride user setting and open up vulnerabilities. Customer support is non-existent and rude. When/if you make the mistake of calling them they try to tell you your network is compromised and you need to buy $200 of tech support to get it working - seriously. This was having given no information outside of asking if and how I can purchase an end user boot disk to distribute with a machine. The oversea's call center guy actually started yelling at me even though I had not elevated my voice. So, if you have a problem, you are probably on your own or dependent on the open source community. The start menu application registry is different then the desktop application registry, seriously. I could not believe it tell I had to work with it, but applications through the start registry are not in the desktop registry and vise versa. They give options of linking a start application to the desk top and vise versa, but this is not a new entry. What this means is that updates must be made in the correct instance, you can have two instances of the same application running at the same time that are blind to each other and other conflict issues. This seems the type of error a first year programming student would not make, but leave it to Microsoft.

Overall Review: If you have to use a windows environment, I would highly recommend going with Windows 7 PRO over this garbage. If you can move away from a windows environment Mint is a much more stable and user friendly environment. The Mac os is also a good option and Apple actually understands what it means to "support" a product.

Pros: Great high res with fast refresh.

Cons: The problem with the sound is not the wattage, but rather the quality of the drums the speakers are made. Low quality material changes the timbre of the throughput causing an echo resonance and banding the higher register (yes, I work with sound). To those not in experienced in sound engineering, it basically makes everything sound like it is coming out of an "old-time" radio.

Overall Review: For my use case it has been reduced to only visual (meaning I am using add-on speakers). Honestly, this monitor is a massive disappointment for me as I have only had positive experiences with ASUS and the materials they use in my past. After finally diagnosing and testing the material of the actual physical drums, I suspect this model was contracted out, as the drum material does not meet minimum standards in any testing certifications I have ever been involved with. On the other hand, the visual quality is what one would expect from ASUS, and was a fair deal at the price I payed - but not a steal especially as I decided to go with a slightly smaller to have build in speakers. Conclusion: price point this as a visual display unless you do not care/mind "radio" sounding speakers.

Pros: Keyboard: -Red LED not invasive (when working at night) and easy to turn on/off -Quick and accurate response to typing -Great sound and video controls Mouse: -Easy to use back/forward quick button -Sensitivity button with 3 settings -Great scroll wheel

Cons: Keyboard: -A bit load, but that is what you expect with mechanical keys. Mouse: -No way to turn this LED Light off, and it stays lit as long as the computer has power (even when shut down).

Overall Review: Honestly, this set blew me away. It works better than $50-$100 sets I have had in the past, and I got it for a song.

Pros: -Lots of room (Can easily fit 2 x GTX 1080 and over-sized CPU cooler such as huge ZALMAN CNPS14X or water cooling system) -Great Pre-installed fans (Quite and powerful!) -Nice Red LED that actually Turns off (on/off switch) -Solid frame metal frame -3.5 and 2.5 Bays with good punch outs -Stand offs for all standard ATX forms (including E-ATX) -Great cable routing hooks and punch outs

Cons: Nothing worth taking an egg off, but things I did not like: -Top red LED lights do not turn off with LED on/off switch -Vented cover pops off to easily when moving - wish they had some sort of locking mechanism on it (same with lower front cover, but I never "lift" with that) -Fan controls seem rather useless in the age of thermal detectors and on motherboard controllers. Since heat is an issue, the only thing I would ever do is have it turned all the way up all the time - but that is needless. I rather thermal calibrate the detectors and let the computer pull what is needed. -No Hot-swap bay. I do a bit of work with hard data, and it would be nice to not have to use a bay to install my own, but not a big deal

Pros: -Getting the same internet speed as direct plug in. -Easy to install -Great Drivers on the CD for Win 7 Pro and Win 8.1

Cons: -A bit Pricey for internet access point connector, but plenty of bandwidth for other same time tasks.
