Pros: About the best gaming monitor I've owned at this price point. No dead pix, bright and clear, fast response time, good adjustable tilt stand, No ghosting and has nice viewing angle. Although, if I had the money I would have went with a higher end 24" gaming monitor that was 120Hz or higher.

Cons: No complaints here.

Pros: Seems well built, nice HD single rail, It's solid as a rock and weighs a ton, plus it's Bronze rated.

Cons: Mine has a short on the main Mobo connection. RMA time which will be my first ever RMA, I usually have good luck. I could buy 200 of these and all would be good, yet I drew an unlucky card. Upon reflection I should have went with a PC Power and cooling unit that was not so new to market. Maybe a more tried and true model.

Pros: It's pretty looking, well built, good quality Z77 board for the price. As far as basic quality for the price I like this board and it posted right away with no issues. It liked my Gskill 2x8Gb 2133Mhz RAM and at least the bios easily alowed me to simply switch from the default RAM Freq to 2133Mhz no problem.

Cons: Why in the world MSI decided to install a CPU latch cover screw that must be removed prior to setting the CPU is beyond me. It has a locking clip, but after installing the CPU you have to use the screw just removed or else the socket latch door will not hold the CPU in place after latched. really stupid design I have only seen on this MOBO and no other. I'm using a 3570K and I'm sure I could get a nice OC on this board, except MSI has set up the Bios in a manner that keeps the settings you need to change shaded out and no matter what I do the Bios will not respond to clicking on the values you mush alter for OCing. It's as if they are locked and will not allow you to alter settings. Why make things confusing by shading out what I want to change? Don't bother even installing the cheesy OCing utilities they offer on the driver disk. These utilities are awful and don't even work. Pretty sure this will be my last MSI board. ASUS and Asrock do not make me search around for ways to adjust clock settings. This Bios wants something changed to allow OCing and even experts online have no clue what needs to be activated to allow clock changes in this Bios. I feel there is no reason to complicate OCing on a Z77 board, but MSI seems to have done this very well. I can OC well, but not if the board refuses to react to a click on the key values that need to be tweeked. Great board if you don't OC... Poor board if you want to OC your CPU because it locks you out.

Pros: I would say if your looking for fairly cheap 2.1 speakers for gaming and even some music that these are about the best you could do for performance vs Dollar. For fairly small speakers they sound pretty good and seem well made. Do not expect to blow the roof off, but they put out good solid sound for the price. I like the 3.5 jack on the speaker. I just keep a line to it for a fast plug in for music play direct from my smartphone. They are loud enough that if you lived in an apartment they might upset the renter living next door.

Cons: The sub-woofer is ok, but past halfway turned up and it washes out the L & R speakers which are a little under powered in relation to the Sub-woofer, but a little adjusting and you can get pretty solid audio from this set. If your expectation if to fill your entire family home with premium sound then your asking too much from a 2.1 set at 30 Watts.
