Pros: For the questioner below, the monitor is capable of displaying any resolution over DVI or D-Sub. It will even display 16:9 resolutions, but will stretch to 16:10, which looks atrocious. Keep all resolutions at either 4:3 or 16:10 and you're golden. First, the main reason you're buying this monitor - the multiple input options. I have not tested the component input, but all the other inputs, including Digital HDTV tuner, works very well. TF2 looks good, even with a 1280x800 resolution. The PS3 looks gorgeous on 1080P. Digital channels in 1080i and 720p looks very good. The scaler on this monitor gives you a lot of options (16:9, 16:10, 4:3) for all inputs. (DVI only has 16:10 or 4:3, but why would you need anything else?) This was a major concern for me before purchasing, but I'm glad it can display most resolutions. Off-axis viewing is better than expected, but I wasn't expecting much. There wasn't much color tuning to do out of the box.

Cons: Off-resolution scaling is just okay. There's a good amount of backlight bleed at the top and bottom of the display. This monitor definitely isn't for serious users or experts, but the colors will look great for anyone else. No height adjustment, only backwards tilt, which is almost useless with a monitor this size. Off-axis viewing is okay. The horizontal viewing is actually pretty good, but the vertical off-axis is bad- it's definitely a TN panel. It's not terrible, though. There's noticeable dimming at the top and lower right corners of the display - mine might be defective in this way. I can live with it, though. Touch-sensitive power button is an annoyance. You'll have to get used to the way it detects your input. The side-mounted panel buttons makes the remote absolutely necessary for any respectable tuning. The display is prone to wobbling - the pivot on the monitor should have been better designed for stability. No VESA mounting

Overall Review: This monitor can pass DDL through the optical port in the back. The monitor's speakers are okay, for TV speakers. You can't really notice the "touch of color". The piano black finish still looks nice. The screen is anti-glare, not glossy, for those who are wondering. I'd buy this again - it's more than enough for me, let alone your average user.

Pros: These are great IEMs, especially if you get them on sale. The sound signature is definitely darker than my previous IEMs (Ety ER-6i), and only a little cooler than most sub-$40 IEMs. The secret to enjoying these earbuds is the choice of eartips. If you're looking for a lot of bass, then the Sony Hybrid eartips are the ones for you (it's the only eartips I've used since a month ago). If you use the stock double-flange eartips, then the bass is, in comparison, a lot weaker, and will only be apparent on deep insertion. You definitely won't hear or feel the bass on the train with the stock eartips. The rest of the sound spectrum is typical for a BA, it has articulate, almost sparkling highs and very smooth mids. Check out the reviews on Head-Fi for more information.

Cons: Despite being a BA, the highs were less pronounced and much darker on the highs compared to my Ety's. Then again, Ety's are considered very cold and highs were the only thing that the budget Ety's excelled at.

Overall Review: The fit and comfort of these IEMs are great, they go over your ear and the cable is amazingly soft and pliable. You have to try these, especially if you need a cheap pair of good IEMs.

Pros: Great performance. I used to get 95C load on the stock cooler. I now get 73C. That's a serious temp drop! Those temps are both with my i7 920 clocked at 3.9 GHz on stock volts. I couldn't go any higher on the stock cooler, but with this cooler I can probably hit at least 4.2. Extremely low price, especially considering how other top-tier coolers easily cost twice what this costs.

Cons: The installation is ridiculous. Dumb, dumb instructions with the washers. Install the screws a quarter of the way into the backplate first, then put the washers on to the screws. Requires motherboard removal, unless you have a backplate cutout in your case. Also, it requires removal of the CPU retention mechanism, which makes you a bit nervous about dropping the screwdriver into the pins...

Overall Review: The cons aren't so bad as they seem, I got the cooler installed in under 20 minutes and the performance was great. All for under two dubs!

Pros: It's a very quiet card at idle. Idles at 53C in a very cramped case, could barely fit the power cable. Load is at 75C with the duty cycle barely even reaching 50%. That means it's very quiet during load too.

Cons: With Furmark burn-in, the GPU reaches 100C! No games pushes the card past 80C, I guess it's just specific to Furmark. Only 512MB, which will be nothing in a few years. Get the 1GB version if you can, even though it only gives you a 5% performance boost, the large frame buffer will be more future proof.

Overall Review: It's a great buy if you can find it under $130. I recommend looking around bargain sites.

Pros: Awesome speed! This thing benches at 71 MB/s average read on HD Tach and a 15.6 ms response time - that's faster than my desktop drive. It runs cool and quiet when idle.

Cons: I have to ding it for being loud and hot. When the drive is busy, the drive heads are constantly clicking and the palm rest on my Vostro 1500 gets warm rather quickly.

Overall Review: It's one of the three 7200 RPM 320 giggers. Any one of them is a pretty good choice, I just got the Seagate because of the 5-year warranty. I would've gotten the Hitachi model if I knew it was cheaper, but I'm not regretting this purchase one bit because, as online benches have shown, it's just as fast.
