There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Before getting into the hardware review, I'll provide a bit of background. I am an electrical engineer, and the assembled machines were scoped to be dependable work horses -- as opposed to gaming machines. I built my first desktop machines back in the early 1990's. I have always used Intel and ASUS motherboards, due to their reputations for reliability; recently I have used ASUS exclusively.
The machines currently dual-boot Windows 7 Ultimate (SP1 64-bit) and Fedora 19 (64-bit); both OS's use UEFI secure boot. I don't currently run VMware or VirtualBox, though I may later on. Currently, I am not overclocking the machines in any way, though I may do so in the future; hence I cannot comment on their suitability for such.
Here are the principal hardware components for the machines:
Case: Corsair 650D
PSU: Corsair AX750 (Gold)
MB: ASUS P8Z77-V Pro (MB rev. 1.0; AMI BIOS rev. 1805)
CPU: Intel i7-3770k (3.5 GHz quad-core LGA 1155) (model BX80637I73770K)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Black [16GB (4x4GB) 240-pin DDR3 1600MHz 1.5v low profile] (CML16GX3M4A1600C9B)
Hard disk: Western Digital 1TB SATA3 (WD1002FAEX) (no RAID system)
GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX 660 (GTX660-DC2-2GD5)
DVD burner: ASUS DRW-24B1ST (OEM)
Keyboard: Saitek Eclipse II Backlit keyboard (USB)
Radio mouse: Logitech V450 Nano Cordless Laser
I also elected to install the following additional components:
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Dual-port NIC: Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter (EXP19402PTBLK)
USB 3.0 pass-through cable: USB 3.0 20-Pin MB header to 2 Type-A Female Connectors Y-Cable
Comments:
Cases: We looked at a number of different cases at brick-and-mortar stores before settling on the Corsair 650D. (I've used Antec cases in the past; the Cooler Master cases were strong contenders this time around.) The Corsair 650D cases are solid and nice-looking from a conservative perspective (not flashy); gamers would probably consider them boring. Since the P8Z77-V Pro does not offer eSATA support (and USB 3.0 has better specs than eSATA), the eSATA drive caddy on the top of the case is not useful for us. Also, I found the quick-release mechanisms for the front drive bays to be unreliable: I secured the DVD drives the old-fashion way -- with screws. However, we really do like the see-through side panel feature. Finally, the 650D was designed before the USB 3.0 motherboard header configuration was finalized, therefore the USB 3.0 cables that connect the front-panel USB 3.0 ports won't attach directly to ANY motherboard. To remedy this, I bought the adapter cable listed above; if you want one, here is the Amazon link:
http://www.amazon.com/8-inch-20-Pin-Motherboard-Connectors-Y-Cable/dp/B007PODI1W/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1356639600&sr=1-3&keywords=usb
PSU: I believe the AX750 series has been discontinued now. I chose the older Corsair power supplies based on their reliability and the fact that they used Japanese capacitors; I couldn't determine whether the new Corsair PSUs had quality capacitors. The fan in the AX750's makes a clicking sound at very low rpm -- typically only occurs just as the machine starts up. Other than that, they are extremely quiet and solid units. Also really like the modular cable feature; fewer cables in the case.
Motherboard: I spent many hours reading motherboard reviews and comparing MB feature sets before choosing the P8Z77-V Pro. I mostly looked at ASUS boards, including some in their Workstation line. (I know that there are many other quality makers of MBs available, but ASUS retains its status as one of the best, and, with just 2 choices of manufacturers, the number of offerings simply becomes mind-boggling.) Ultimately it was a combination of reasonable price and a simple yet versatile feature set (PCI slots, SATA buses, video ports, peripheral ports, etc.) that drove my choice.
I've found the P8Z77-V Pro to be solid and pleasant to work with. So far no problems with bad slots or ports; the on-board video and audio work fine. Some of the P8Z77-V Pro comments I saw online complained about slow upload/download problems associated with the on-board networking (I also turned off the MB wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) feature in the BIOS, so I cannot comment on its functionality; this feature also gets many negative comments in P8Z77 blogs.)
The MB AMI BIOS is well-designed and fairly user friendly. I was disappointed to see how many unnecessary 3rd-party software add-ons were included on the ASUS CD-ROM that contains the MB device drivers. (Experienced machine builders typically ignore the CD-ROM and get the latest device drivers from on-line repositories, but I tend to only flash-and-patch on an "as-needed" basis.) Anyway, after some web research, I opted to NOT install the following ASUS CD-ROM software features:
Network iControl (Many on-line posts recommend disabling this.)
LucidLogix Virtu MVP (As far as I can tell, this only helps gamers -- and even a fair number of them recommend NOT using it.)
CPU: The Intel i7-3770k CPU represented the best price/performance trade-off available last spring. The "k" model offers better overclocking capabilities; if you are interested in running VMware or VirtualBox, you might want to go with the straight "3770" model.
RAM: I opted for the Corsair memory on this go-round simply based on reputation and price. I haven't yet seen a single memory hiccup. In the past I've used Crucial. You want to buy the RAM in packages of matched modules (to avoid timing conflicts). Also, use of the "low-profile" modules avoids potential MB space conflicts when mounting a CPU cooler.
Hard drive: I've used Western Digital drives exclusively for years. They are fast, quiet, and I'VE NEVER HAD ONE CRASH even though I frequently have 2 or 3 drives in my machines. (I cannot say that about other HD lines.) (Note: I religiously replace my HDs at the point that their warranties expire; the 2 desktop machines I am currently replacing have been in service for over 9 years, and each one has had the primary drive replaced twice.) I saw some on-line reviews that stated that the WD1002FAEX model is noisy. The reviewers must have gotten bad units: the two that I just installed are whisper quiet. And the WD1002FAEX comes with a 5-yr warranty.
GPU: We may not play games at home, but we often watch uTube and DVD videos. I chose the ASUS GeForce GTX 660 based primarily on reviews. (I went the nVIDIA route, as opposed to AMD graphics, because of nVIDIA's strong reputation for UNIX/Linux OS support. ATI's support was abysmal, and AMD seems to be following suit.) The card runs cool and quiet, and it even came with a cable adapter for my old 21" CRT monitor. We get gorgeous, even-color images at 1600x1200 and higher resolutions.
DVD burner: No issues so far with the DVD drives, though we haven't tried burning anything yet. The burner software provided (on CDROM) with the drive isn't worth much; we're going to try Ashampoo (free) this time around.
Keyboard: I bought my first Saitek Eclipse II at least 7 years ago for doing work with my laptop while reclining on the couch at home. We now have 3 of them. The keyboard gets decent reviews on-line; some reviews complain about the paint wearing off the keys. The keys on my original one show no signs of wear. I'll admit that only the violet backlighting color works well when typing in the dark; perhaps that's why gamers give it mixed reviews. For us, the keyboard offers good heft, nice tactile response, and longevity.
Mouse: Like the Saitek keyboard, I bought my first V450 Nano mouse for use with my laptop. Soon after, I replaced the corded mouse on my old desktop machine with a second one. We now have 3 of these in the house. Recommendation: The mouse runs on a pair of AA batteries: get a decent battery charger and some rechargeable AAs.
CPU cooler: Although we currently live in a city where outside temperatures rarely surpass 80 degrees (F), it was only a few years ago that we lived in an area where temperatures regularly exceeded 100 F in July and August. Also, the Intel i7 LGA 1155 CPU series reportedly has poor heat dissipation characteristics. Hence I opted to forego the heat sink that came with the Intel CPU and instead deploy the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooling system in our new machines. The Hyper 212 EVO is one of the cheaper (but still well regarded) cooling solutions on the market; it should suffice as long as we don't seriously over-clock the systems. (I also opted to use Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound rather than the thermal compound that Cooler Master provided with the Hyper 212 EVO. The Artic Silver 5 compound is among the most effective products of its type; many of the expensive commercial compounds available perform worse than mayonnaise. See link below.)

UPDATE:
For years many friends have told me I should start building custom computers. So I did, and boy has my business taken off. My first build was for my daughter using this processor, the Intel DZ77GA-70K Extreme Motherboard, Corsair 850 watt PSU, MSI Twin Freeze GTX 680 Video Card, 32 Gig of Corsair Vengeance PC 12800 DDR-3 1600 MHZ Ram, Intel 520 Series 480 GIG SSD, and a 500 gig Western Digital Raptor D; drive coupled with the Intel liquid solution cooling overclocked to 4.5 GHz. What a combo, and I have more orders than I can handle. The reason I say this is because today I was chatting with Marvin in customer support at Intel. We have become friends, and I asked him if I build a socket 2011 with and Intel DX79SR Motherboard and 3970K extreme processor, would it be faster, and he said no. It would just have more cores and a duel ram channels. So the above is a very fast combo and boots into Windows 8 in 12 seconds. So of course he asked me if I was crazy or just had money to burn and I said no. He told me not to wast my money. This is the best working combo out there, and I have 15 of these out there without a single problem. You cannot overload this processor, and I have two more orders. I hope they don't run out of motherboards! Very fast and smooth machine, and works perfect with Windows 8 pro. No Driver problems, and 8 SATA ports. 4 6 GBPS ports and 4 Sata 3 ports in the feature rich motherboard. I also built the AMD FX 8350 with an Asus board. It is really fast, but nothing touches this I7 for the money, and Intel's Visual bios is awesome. AMD has lost a long time customer.
