Most Favorable Review

Great sound, great service

SENNHEISER PC360 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Headset
SENNHEISER PC360 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Headset

Pros: Sound and build quality (see other thoughts)

Cons: none

Overall Review: I am writing this, not so much to rate the product's functionality as to rate the Sennheiser's customer service. My headset was out of warranty when I accidently got the cord caught under chair, then rolled back and ripped the sound input pigtail from the Y-fixture. I went to the website to find the repair info so I could send it in for repair. They have a flat rate (for this headset) of 84.95 which includes shipping both ways. They did a quick turnaround and instead of getting my old, repaired set, they sent me a new set. All I gotta say is great service from Sennheiser! Buy Sennheiser products with confidence that they'll take care of you after your purchase!

WOW This little CPU fan is friggin LOUD!!!

ASUS ROG Ryujin 360 RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler 360mm Radiator (Three 120mm 4-pin Noctua iPPC PWM Fans) with LIVEDASH OLED Panel and FanXpert Controls
ASUS ROG Ryujin 360 RGB AIO Liquid CPU Cooler 360mm Radiator (Three 120mm 4-pin Noctua iPPC PWM Fans) with LIVEDASH OLED Panel and FanXpert Controls

Pros: Seems well built and keeps CPU cool Looks great and works great with Aura

Cons: This little micro fan embedded in the heatsink is LOUD! I've been around jet engines all my adult life and the variable whine produced by this fan sounds like a CFM56 during taxiing. I don't know if this is normal or I just got a bad one.

Overall Review: Love the compatibility with Aura Hate the micro fan whine

DOA

Pros: Comes nicely packed Both Asus and Newegg no hassle to return

Cons: Did not get a manual, just a quick start sheet. Power LED light on.... no picture other than an occasional very faint flashing. No button response. Building a new all Asus rig... did not work. Then tried on my older computer (the one I'm typing this review from) and same no-worky. Hope to update once I receive a new one.

Overall Review: Not so good on the first one, hoping bettere results from the second

It's all fun and games until your new OCZ SSD dies

OCZ Vector Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC VTR1-25SAT3-256G
OCZ Vector Series 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC VTR1-25SAT3-256G

Pros: Easy install. Fast while it lasted.

Cons: I bought it back in March but because of my wife's schooling, I didn't want to pull down the computer to swap it out until she completed the course. I installed the SSD in June and it died in little over a month. I started having hesitation with several programs....thought maybe it was an issue with my Corsair memory but after about a week or so of that, I got the dreaded blue screen of death. Restarted the computer and BIOS did not see the SSD anymore. Troubleshot and confirmed my fears...the OCZ SSD was dead. This has to be the fastest death of a mass storage unit I've owned (aside from a HHD being DOA years ago). This has shaken my faith in OCZ a little

Overall Review: I'm currently using my reliable WD V-raptor with a fresh load to use the computer and shopping for another SSD...not sure I want to go with OCZ again...still on the fence.

Dear Disappointment

NEC Display Solutions LCD2490WUXi2-BK Black 24" Height,Swilve,Pivot & Tilt Adjustable Widescreen LCD Monitor 320 cd/m2 1000:1
NEC Display Solutions LCD2490WUXi2-BK Black 24" Height,Swilve,Pivot & Tilt Adjustable Widescreen LCD Monitor 320 cd/m2 1000:1

Pros: Seriously, you are marking the monitor down because NEC says you must use a microfiber cloth?? Really?? Microfiber towels/cloth are everywhere.you can get a 10 pack for a couple of bucks at Walmart. They are soft, lint free and won't scratch...that is why NEC says to use.

Cons: none
