Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional 70SB088600002 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card

Pros: I will NEVER settle for onboard sound again after slapping this bad boy into my gaming rig. AWESOME

Cons: none

Overall Review: slapped this thing into my rig, vista 64 ultimate. booted up and already had active sounds at startup. downloaded updated driver from creative.com, rebooted, configured it for gaming with all enhancements and was playing crysis in a matter of 10 minutes from unboxing.

Awesome SSD

Great for SSD's

Vantec EZ Swap F4 MRK-425ST-BK 4 Bay 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s SSD/HDD Removable Rack, SATA III ready (Supports 9.5 & 12.5mm height SSD/HDD)

Pros: Secure mounting for 4 2.5" drives.

Cons: FAN!!! Was fine for a week then it started screaming at me... I ended up just cutting the wires for the fan to shut it up. Activity LED doesnt blink, however the drive indicators do work.

Overall Review: Running 4 Samsung 840 Pro SSD's so I dont need the cooling anyways.

Awesome Card for SSD raid-0

LSI LSI00301 (9207-8i) PCI-Express 3.0 x8 Low Profile SATA / SAS Host Controller Card--Avago Technologies

Pros: Flashed this card to the IR firmware, flashed all 4 of my SSD's to the most current firmware then threw them into a raid-0 array. Getting 2GB/s read and write speeds according to ATTO starting at the 128k chunk size.

Cons: Warm, but that's what fans are for :)

Overall Review: ASUS P8Z68-V Intel Core i5-2500K 2x g.skill F3-12800CL8D-8GBECO 4x samsung 840 pro 256GB gtx 670

just as advertised

macally NSA2-S350U Aluminum 3.5" SATA USB 2.0 External Enclosure
macally NSA2-S350U Aluminum 3.5" SATA USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: small enclosure that does the job perfectly. Installed 2 1TB spinpoints, switched the jumper to normal mode and instantly 2 1TB drives appeared in windows, partitioned/formatted and I was up and running in 10 minutes flat. Transfers seem speedy enough for USB2.

Cons: fan cycles on and off ALOT. Non grounded power brick.

Overall Review: whats some noise when you have 2TB of portable storage in the palm of your hand
