Microsoft Kinect w/Kinect Adventures for XBOX 360
Microsoft Kinect w/Kinect Adventures for XBOX 360

Pros: Small unit, not an eyesore on the TV. Very responsive to movement, there is very little lag time between your movements and your avatar on the screen unlike the WII where there is a noticeable delay. Really enjoy the facial recognition so I do not have to sign in manually, there is no need to pick up a controller.

Cons: Lighting can effect the cameras perception of you, try not to stand directly under a light or dim them if possible.

Overall Review: Ideally, mount the unit on TOP of your TV, it really helps the unit observe your space more effectively. Flatscreen TV owners instead of getting a bulky TV mounter, go to the hardware store and get industrial grade Velcro. It peels off the TV without damaging it and it is strong enough to hold the Kinect securely. This will allow you to remove the Kinect quickly when its not in use.

Excellent Performance

Pros: Excellent processor. AMD has really made performance power available at a fair price. Solid performance, not too hot and OC's well. Get a good case if you are going to push it though. Ventilation is key to these chips lifespan.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: I love high end Intel's for my personal machines but if you aren't going for high end bleeding edge, why pay the premium?

Good economy case

HEC 6K28BBX585 Black 0.8mm SECC Steel Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case 585W Power Supply

Pros: Appealing look given the price. Comes with PSU (585W at that). Ample space for parts to fit, good interior design.

Cons: More case fans would have been nice. Not designed for performance parts to function for any length of time.

Overall Review: Keep in mind, this is an economy case. If you are trying to build a gaming machine you will be making a cheap rig without proper ventilation. This case should really be used for everyday computing. Too many budget for performance parts and skimp on the case but buying this to cut cost will lead to problems down the road. In short, use this case for what it is designed. Once you start pushing your hardware this case will not provide healthy conditions for your internals. Other than that, great buy for the price. Setup was a breeze.
