Klipsch KW-100 120V Subwoofer

Pros: Picture's good, lots of height adjustment range. Got what I wanted.

Cons: not 1920x1200, but I knew that.

Pros: This is even better than the Hyper 212 EVO, I bought both, since I had two builds. This was easier to install than the Evo, believe it or not. It also cools my vid chipset. 22C temp - steady.

Cons: The install sheet WAS a littlle fuzzy, but just follow the design diagram parts, you can figure it out faster.

Other Thoughts: Highly satisfied

Pros: I migrated my old drive to this new one using a USB to SSD drive connector I got from Crucial a few months ago for my wife's laptop. It installed with no problem because I happened to have four short screws to use to mount it in the drive bay of my Dell T3400 Workstation. The drivers installed at power-up and the drive worked perfectly after restart.

Cons: None so far

Other Thoughts: Fingers crossed

Pros: - Less than $210
- Smaller than the average mid to high range video card
- Looks great
- Performs excellent
- Easily overclockable
- Great 3D Mark scores!!

Cons: The fan is a bit loud but I don't mind, seeing as I have 6 other 120mm fan's going at once. Therefore, the fan being louder than I'd like is not enough for me to take an egg off.

Other Thoughts: For $209.99 you absolutely cannot find a better deal. I was shocked at how well the card performs. I finally made the switch to radeon cards from NVidia. I upgraded from a GTX 650 Ti 2gb and WOW, what a difference. The GTX scored only 5264 in the graphics portion of 3D Mark 11, with a 100mhz overclock on both the core and mem clock. This 7870 scored an 8183 with a slight overclock. The physics portion went up 100-200 points also. That is awesome if you ask me. I was a bit skeptical about buying a cheaper 7870 but I couldn't be happier. It seems well built with quality materials. I'll be buying another one of these cards within a couple weeks to do a crossfire setup. I'd recommend this card to anyone that's looking for a card that has great performance, but won't empty your wallet at the same time.



My Rig

Apevia X-Dreamer4 Case
MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt Motherboard
Intel Core i7 3770k OC'd @ 4.5ghz
Cooler Master 212 EVO
16gb G.Skill RipJaws @ 1600mhz

Pros: thing handles every single game i throw at it on MAX or near max, handles the FFXIV bechmark like a dream and planetside 2 with absolute no lag. I'm in love!

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: handles mining at 54.2 Mhash/s but nvidia cards are not good for that anyway so no biggie

Pros: upgraded from a duo-core 2.4. Wow was I missing out. This thing is a beast stock, once i get a H~ cooler ill OC it but until then it's perfect, plays all games with amazing loading times and file converting happens in less then 1 min for a 38 min clip which originally took me 1h. For the price you can't beat this.

Cons: none

Pros: night light, volume buttons, spill channels, i5, reputable brand, durable

Cons: battery life about 2 hours

Other Thoughts: I was over using my 6 year-old heavy & slow laptop. My research pointed me in the direction of Lenovo for many of the Pros listed. While I have yet to really test it (waiting on my Office disk), so far it has been solid, superfast, and a huge upgrade for me. For my job, as well as for surfing, shopping, Skype, music... This laptop is a solid choice!

Pros: I bought this chip to replace my Phenom II x4 945. I have noticed great gains in everything that I do. Well done AMD!

Cons: None!

Pros: it works, is easy to install, always able to find the signal

Cons: Uses your cpu instead of having it's own processor like higher end pci-e's (i have an i5-3570k and it still uses between 5-10% of the total cpu at any given time according to resource monitor)
Extremely unreliable (internet becomes so slow to the point it becomes unusable)

Other Thoughts: I bought this when i was building my computer because it was in the price range i wanted (picked it up for 25 dollars at memory express) and was made by asus. It worked fine for the first 3 days or so, and after that i began to notice that i would start to get major lag spikes. I'm not 100% sure what is causing the problem but this never happens to my own laptop, which is located in the same room. For example, when i play games the ping (latency) might be at 70 one moment, and then it will jump to over 1000 for extended periods of time. I found out that when i reset my router this is usually fixed (i'm fairly sure this isn't a router problem though because only this computer ever experiences lag to this magnitude). If you are using your computer exclusively to browse the internet then i guess this card could be fine, but if you're interested in playing games, i would recommend paying a bit more to get a better one, or just paying your ISP to install a wired system closer to your desktop(which im doing soon personally)

Pros: Upgraded from the Nvidia 550 Ti 1GB Gigabyte Reference card, to this beast. Well worth the $180 I paid. Went from 25 FPS in ultra to 60+ with just the card upgrade in Battle Field 3. Iracing went from 35-45 FPS in ultra to 105-125 FPS. This upgrade well over tripled my past FPS on maximum settings, with PhysX the gaming experience skyrocketed for me. Even though this is a mid range card, it preforms like boss.

Cons: Doesn't sound like my old Gigabyte 550 Ti. When it started it soulded like a fighter jet launching, then would go silent, this Card starts and stays silent...if that is a con.

Other Thoughts: The Boost it has in video games is remarkable. I had Crisis 3 running 30-35 FPS, it boosted to 1230 Mhz Clock and 2350 Shader Clock (Nvidia Inspector) to get me to well over 45-50 fps....
