Most Favorable Review

Excellent desktop mic

ALTEC LANSING ABM200 Black 3.5mm Connector Microphone
ALTEC LANSING ABM200 Black 3.5mm Connector Microphone

Pros: Superior sound quality for a desktop microphone; Mute button located on microphone instead of cabling makes muting easy.

Cons: Packaging is the horrible sealed plastic that slices you to get open, but what isn't packed in that these days?

Overall Review: It certainly doesn't have the sound quality of a headset microphone or professional mic, but as far as desktop microphones go this is high quality.

Most Critical Review

Difficult to use

WOLF KING Warrior DK2388URD Red/Black 55 Normal Keys USB Gaming Keyboard
WOLF KING Warrior DK2388URD Red/Black 55 Normal Keys USB Gaming Keyboard

Pros: Functions perfectly out of the box.

Cons: No software to remap keys forces you to remap your keys in games around the device, thus making it a keyboard OR wolf king choice instead of being able to actively switch between the two.

Overall Review: It is larger than it appears in photos, I bought this to have more impulse-hittable keys but this has actually reduced my options.

Difficult.

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0

Pros: - Cheap - Quiet - Little shelf up top to put things

Cons: - Hard drive trays are totally non-standard and not at all good. They use long screws (included) to secure hard drives.. So if you lose those special long screws you are out of luck. - Power Supply BARELY fits in tiny area for it had to bend the metal out of the way, and no bottom ventilation so if your PSU has a bottom fan you'll have to mount it upside down. - Included fans all have this extremely obnoxious switch on an additional wire that just dangle all around the case because there's no where to put them. Ugly and difficult to keep out of the way of fans. - None of the fans can plug in with regular Molex so if your motherboard doesn't have enough SYSFAN ports you'll need to get adapters to plug in the fans. - Had to remove internal fan bracket to fit a GTX 1070 graphics card, BARELY fits & eliminates the ability to use 3 drive bays.

Overall Review: I do not understand how this case has nothing but positive reviews when it is so annoying and tedious to deal with.

Cables too short

Antec Basiq BP350 350W ATX12V v2.01 Power Supply - Intel Haswell Fully Compatible
Antec Basiq BP350 350W ATX12V v2.01 Power Supply - Intel Haswell Fully Compatible

Pros: Works as advertised. Box-like quality that reminds me of minecraft.

Cons: In my ordinary setup the 20/24-pin mainboard power connector is a very tight reach and the ATX 12v connector does not reach.

Overall Review: I am normally pleased by Antec power supplies; All I needed was a basic power supply, but I still need the cables to reach.

Furious about CPU Support lies

ASRock H67M-GE/HT (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock H67M-GE/HT (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Lots of features, decent manual, good looking design with a billion ports.

Cons: Says it supports the Ivy Bridge processors -- DOES NOT. Only if you upgrade the bios to P2.1.. Well how do you do that? According to ASRock's FAQ #306 you put in a Sandy Bridge CPU and then upgrade the bios to support Ivy Bridge. I don't even have an operating system yet and they want me to have a different CPU to support my new CPU.

Overall Review: No internal IDE port, but has internal LPT? odd.

Worst Sennheiser Headphones

Sennheiser HD280 Pro Around the Ear DJ Headphones

Pros: Mostly as advertised, cancels noise very well.

Cons: Extremely tight on the head, to the point where if you wear glasses your ears will be in pain after about 20 minutes from the clamping effect. Sound quality is not as great as some other Sennheiser models (HD555 for example) a bit of a tin can type of effect.
