Great Budget Card

ASUS Radeon HD 4770 512MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card EAH4770 FORMULA/DI/512MD5
ASUS Radeon HD 4770 512MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card EAH4770 FORMULA/DI/512MD5

Pros: This card runs any game i want at 1680x1050 mostly at high to max settings (some dx9 games) This thing overclocks like a beast. I have mine at 975core and 4,000mhz memory (1,000 x 4) using riva tuner and the max temps are around 65ish C (no artifacting of any sort)

Cons: price? its still a great budget card but i wish it was at 100 USD like it was supposed to be, but 10 dollars isnt too bad considering the overclocking performance

Overall Review: If you need a card to run your last gen games or you do some light dx10 gaming at 1680x1050 to 1920x1200 this card is perfect for you. The cooler is in the shape of a formula race car for those of you who didnt notice haha. And to that review under me... if you're gonna write a review at least try to make sense

great boot drive

OCZ Vertex Series 2.5" 30GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1VTX30GXXX
OCZ Vertex Series 2.5" 30GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1VTX30GXXX

Pros: like the description on this product says... great boot drive -shipped with firmware 1.4 -super fast install of windows 7 -super fast installs of other programs -boots game lvls quickly -click google chrome and it pops up instantly -etc...?

Cons: it was a bit of a challenge for me to find out what firmware i had running on it, but its there if you look through the device manager wish it had a 3.5" adapter, but i only paid $135 for it...

Overall Review: im probably going to buy another ocz drive when the premium for them drops off the price and they become more mainstream... and also the capacities increase

Works and looks great

Acer P235Hbmid Black 23" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 50000:1(ACM) Built-in Speakers

Pros: looks great... i was hesitant about glossy monitors, but it looks really nice comes with VGA, DVI, AND HDMI 16:9 ratio nice and bright pretty sweet low height... if it was half an inch taller it wouldnt' have fit at my desk

Cons: I didn't like how the settings buttons are under the monitor... HDMI displays 1920x1080, but it doesn't scale to fill the whole screen... must use the dvi/vga cables the bezel gets finger prints just as easily as the screen itself does

Overall Review: the problem that one fellow somewhere down there had with this monitor is that he was using it with hdmi this isn't a problem with windows 7 just use dvi and your good to go

great buy

Kingston DataTraveler 101 16GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) DT101Y/16GB
Kingston DataTraveler 101 16GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) DT101Y/16GB

Pros: it works better than advertised i get 9.5-13 mb/s writes reads are pretty darn fast faster than my 1/2/4gb sticks

Cons: i wish the "lid" whatever you call it would have a type of snap shut

Overall Review: great buy for anyone need storage... i dont really need 16gb but its definitely better than having a 4gb... duh

moves a ton of air

XIGMATEK XSF-F1251 120mm Case Fan PSU Molex Adapter/extender included
XIGMATEK XSF-F1251 120mm Case Fan PSU Molex Adapter/extender included

Pros: these fans definitely move a lot of air... just put your hand next to one and its pretty obvious its pretty quiet (bought 3)

Cons: if you mount on on the side of a case, so it's vertical, it tends to make a lot of noise (just saying) cmon... shipping for fans?

Overall Review: overall great fan... much better than the stock ones in the cm 690

Lot's of room

Cooler Master RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This thing has a ton of space for the average user even if you go sli or xfire Something really nice people might not know about this case is the fan slots support 80mm 90mm 120mm and 140mm

Cons: cable management is a tad hard and I thought i was gonna break the front panel when i was taking it off

Overall Review: I wish that it had come with a couple of filters for the side fans, but for 80 bucks free shipping it was worth it
