Pros: 27 inches of IPS screen Great looking and solid industrial design Images "pop" A lot sharper image quality than I expected

Cons: No HDMI cable Glossy screen Front panel impossible to find without reading manual

Overall Review: It's only 1080p, but that doesn't matter in this case. Images are sharp and text is crisp. No dead/stuck pixels. The specs say only 7ms, but I have encountered no ghosting during gaming. I couldn't find the front panel for the first 5 minutes as it completely disappears, and only appears when you touch it. I haven't played with HP's software yet, but I will today. I bought from a big box retailer for once since they had it locally for the same price. The only thing that could make this better is a higher resolution. This is a bargain... one great monitor.

Pros: I loved the braided cables, and they were plenty long enough to reach all parts of my mid-tower case. Was not as loud as my previous power supply. Ample power for my 6-core 125w Athlon and ATI graphics card. 2 PCI-X power connectors.

Cons: It didn't even last 2 years. Like another poster, mine fails on power-on. When turning the power on at the supply the keyboard receives power, so the 3.3v rail works. When turning power on for the PC though it fails, so either the 5v rail, 12v rail, or both are faulty. I even tested it in a PC that only needs 180w and it can't power that! It has a 5 year warranty, so we will see how that goes. It actually failed in November 2012, so it lasted about a year and a half. I replaced it, but luckily for me I kept it, and finally decided to check the length of the warranty!

Overall Review: This is not the first time I've had a power supply fail on me buy any means (especially considering all of my years as a tech). This IS, however, the first time I've had any power supply fail that quickly...even considering the 150w-185w ones in work PCs. This was my second time buying a Thermaltake power supply, and the other one I purchased days before looks like it is starting to have issues as well. I will think long and hard before bying this brand again!

Pros: Excellent picture quality for HD stations. Very good quality for SD & analog stations. No software or drivers necessary for Win7 - Plug 'n play.

Cons: Station detection in Media Center is slow, and results can be misleading. When windowed and in background still tends to overlay browser windows in foreground (especially Chrome).

Overall Review: I was lucky that some of the previous reviewers left sufficient detail to figure out what was up with Media Center not detecting stations. They WERE being detected, but since there was no station info detected they weren't showing up in the list. A trip to Microsoft's website helped with learning how to manually add station info. Other than that issue (not enough to subtract an egg, as that's my cable provider's fault) everything just works. The video quality is great, and I was surprised by the quality of analog video (especially windowed). I'm going to try out the streaming software AVerMedia recommended to stream to my Android phones and provide an update at that time.

Pros: I thought it would just be good enough to get me by, but it has handled everything I've thrown at it like a champ. Everything's on high settings, with all the older (pre-2010) games fully maxed, at solid framerates (50fps and higher). The drivers on the CD work just fine with no issues at all so far. It has barely worked up a sweat. Saw some complaints about noise, but mine runs quiet enough...quieter than my CPU's fan.

Cons: Like I said...I wish I had bought two. No Crossfire bridge is included.

Overall Review: If you are on a budget and need a card that can handle a wide range of games at solid speeds, don't look any further. Buy this card!

Pros: UEFI is VERY easy to setup, with a multitude of overclock settings. MB has built-in buttons for power, reset & CMOS (with CMOS handy by the USB ports on the rear). STABLE (assemble, install Win7, run stress test, absolutely no issues), everything just worked the first time with no fuss. SIX fan plugs with 2 being 4 pin (most I've seen on a budget board)! Full ATX board.

Cons: I wish the PCIe slots could support x8x8 for my future Crossfire needs instead of just x16x4, but on a budget board that's some pretty fine nitpicking. No parallel IDE.

Overall Review: This has to be the best budget board I have ever purchased. Everything works like a champ, there are PLENTY of fan and header connections, the onboard video is good enough to drive hi-res video watching (loving my Netflix and Hulu on this) while still supporting your PCIe card. Downloaded the latest drivers from the website, but haven't felt a need to use them as the ones on the CD work fine. I will be buying another one of these soon!
