Unrealistic names for normal hardware

I noticed for some time now that some Press Release and other posts on the site come with names that sound mighty impressive for a piece of normal hardware.This thread is dedicated to them ,so that that we can forever mock them.

I submit the first one:

Patriot Memory Supersonic RageXT 32 GB USB 3.0

Review here
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/P...GB_USB3/1.html




and this one

Evercool Unveils the Silent Shark CPU Cooler

http://www.techpowerup.com/174887/Ev...PU-Cooler.html


and also

uRage Exodus White Edition Gaming Keyboard


http://www.techpowerup.com/174792/Ha...-Keyboard.html


and this

FORCE M7 THOR Pro-laser Gaming Mouse

http://www.techpowerup.com/174707/GI...ing-Mouse.html

Rosewill RM-5000L and is an unrealistic name because its name is too realistic. Look. It has bullet weights.

Orly?

I love Sig guns, but this is just too weird. Wonder if it doubles as a squirt gun to clean your display too. LOL
