Good Buy

Rosewill RCN-SC106 - LCD Screen Cleaner (Large) - 3.3 Fl. Oz. (100 ml) Solution

Pros: Best Screen Cleaning Solution I have found. Seems to clean well. Seems to remove finger prints and dirt without scrathing screen.

Cons: None really. Looks like about 3 refills for applicator bottle.Free shipping makes the price ok. Will look for this product locally.

1 out of 2?

Seagate BarraCuda 7200.10 ST3160815AS 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Cheap,Thin and quiet.

Cons: Lost one after 5 months of use in a raid zero config. There goes my operating system.Seagate isn't what it used to be,but failures in any brand is bound to happen.Just a bummer when it's you.

Overall Review: I'll return the failed drive to Seagate and use their refurbished replacement as a storage drive.

Nice SSD

Pros: Fast Fast!

Cons: Expensive

Overall Review: Make sure not to install your old mass storage drivers. This drive doesn't work correctly if you do. Don't use the free shipping option if you want it quick.

Love this

Rocksmith Guitar And Bass PC Game
Rocksmith Guitar And Bass PC Game

Pros: My grandson has learned a lot from this game highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn to play guitar. Bought me and my grandson Fender stratocaster guitars and we are learning . My grandson is pretty good since getting this and can play a lot of rock songs over his amp . When not playing the game . Rocksmith is a great teacher .

Cons: Kind of pricey but if you shop around you can find for less than$60.

Very Nice Board

GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H AM3 AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H AM3 AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Feature packed board.Has just about every thing you would ever need.Works with all AM3 Cpus. Good onboard video&sound.Great over clocking features. I have purchased 3 since January 2011. No problems with any. Price. Easy to configure.Straight forward bios.Can't say enough. All three fired right up.

Cons: Hybrid crossfire only works with certain cards.If you plan to use make sure to read the fine print. Not many cons with this for the price. Very stable.

Overall Review: Love this board so far. We will see how long it lasts,but I'm quickley becoming a Gigabyte fan. Reset your bios on any new mobo before firing up the first time.

Great Little CPU

AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition - Phenom II X2 Callisto Dual-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 80W Desktop Processor - C3 Revision - HDZ555WFGMBOX
AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition - Phenom II X2 Callisto Dual-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 80W Desktop Processor - C3 Revision - HDZ555WFGMBOX

Pros: Bang For The Buck.Possible quadcore. Tears up games as a dual core. Unlocked easy over clocker. As price per performance goes I think AMD is the leader.Coming from a die hard Intel guy that is definitlely a compliment.

Cons: At $90 you are kidding right? I'm usually an intel guy but AMD makes some excellant bargin CPU's.

Overall Review: Mine did unlock to quadcore but one or both unlocked cores became unstable.May be able to get a third core working at a later time. If you plan to unlock be sure to buy a better cooler. Unlocked it becomes 160 watt quadcore. A $30 Hyper 212 is amazing but that is another review. My grandson loves this machine I built for him.
