FAIL

XFX Gift - DEUS EX Game Coupon
XFX Gift - DEUS EX Game Coupon

Pros: none

Cons: The promo code they sent me has already been used by somebody else, not sure who's fault it is but it has been three days now and I have still not gotten this resolved. Waiting for AMD to sort it out.

Running strong

WD Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
WD Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: I have had 2 of these drives in a raid 0 array in a NAS since September of 2011 and have had zero issues with them. I averaged upwards of 100MBs transfers from my computer to these guys, it made transferring all of my large files very quick :) They were a good deal at the time

Cons: they cost money

Overall Review: I have had them running pretty much continuously since the install, they do spin down after 20 minutes of inactivity. I run a disc check through my NAS software every month or so and still have no bad sectors and no corruption.

Runs like a champ

Pros: I have had no problem with this drive reading blu-rays and standard dvds.

Cons: it costs money

Overall Review: i haven't burned any cd's or DVD's with it so I can't speak to how well it does that.

really big fan

SilverStone AP181 180mm Case cooler
SilverStone AP181 180mm Case cooler

Pros: It is huge and moves air.

Cons: It doesn't move as much air as you would think, even when it is on high, I am really disappointed. It is also very thick, sadly it is too thick to go on the side of my fractal midi tower which means I can't close the bottom of the panel, really kind of a pain.

Overall Review: Eventually i will have to take the fan out and modify it to make it fit in the case.

Intake fan

NZXT Air Flow Series RF-FZ140-U1 140mm Blue LED Case Fan
NZXT Air Flow Series RF-FZ140-U1 140mm Blue LED Case Fan

Pros: It worked right out of the box. It has a blue light, and it moves a pretty good amount of air.

Cons: it wasn't free. you can't adjust the brightness of the LED - minus 1 egg

Overall Review: Overall a great fan
