When you were younger, did you ever ask for a gift for Christmas? Whether it was from Santa or from your parents, you probably had some sort of wish list. As for myself, my parents always let me choose something I wanted. I know this approach takes the surprise out of the gift, but at least they knew it was something I actually liked. However, sometimes I think I was just a bit too excited for some gifts, and once I received them, I would use the item quite rarely. For example, when I was younger I asked for some toys. However, after opening it and playing with it for about two hours, I stored it away and did not play with it for the rest of the year. Yes, you might chalk that up to me being childish and wowed by the visual appeal, but sometimes I think our excitement versus the product usage or satisfaction are not always equal. We may get stuff, which have been hyped up, whether by the manufacturer or on our own false pretenses, only to be letdown by the actual unit. On the other hand, the opposite can occur with us being unexpectedly delighted with the product. When I was told NZXT had contacted us for a review, my hype started to grow. We have not heard from them in a while, but I was more than happy to see what they would send us. Then the Editor-in-Chief told me it was the HUE+. For the next week or two, I would ask him every day or so whether the HUE+ was in Calgary. He asked me why I was so excited, and all I would reply with was "HUEHUEHUE", in laughter. The Editor-in-Chief grew quite frustrated with me but I was, and still am, extremely excited to get this product for testing. I learned to stop asking him, and soon enough, the NZXT HUE+ was at our doorstep. So is my excitement justified? Will it still make me go "HUEHUEHUE" at the end of the day? These and more questions will hopefully be answered in today's review!
