Not yet, but I will get a Carbide 540, an H100i, Samsung 840's, and AF120's.

Go for the 840 EVOs, you won't regret it. And not much more expensive.

I bought an HTC One. Not because Linus recommended it, but he showed off the features and I liked them (I thought it was going to be a good phone), so I bought one.

 

And yes, it is an amazing phone, way better than my old iPhone.

I will consider anything with a positive review when deciding on a product.

 

I did get the Vengeance 2000 headset after the LMG ad/commercial.

 

I always watch the product reviews a few hours before, anticipating the UPS guy.

 

Never bought a pc product not reviewed by Linus.
