Acer G6 G276HLGbd
Pros: Since this is my first LED monitor I have to say I pretty happy with it. So far I like enough to purchase a second one when the time comes.
Cons: The controls are kind of hidden and maybe take a little to get used to using. Initial brightness out the box can easily be turned to 50%. Not real cons(especially since I would buy another)but worth mentioning.
Lian Li PC-7B
Pros: Always a fan of LIan Li cases for more than 10 years, all previous were silver but I like the big simplistic styling, removable HDD tray, efficient fan layout, plentiful available accessories, and lightweight.You never have to fight with cards not lining up between MB rear slots. Doesn't seem to be in stock at the moment but the price when I purchased it was good.
Cons: Stock fans are ok but I install ADDA or TopMotor fans in all my cases.
Overall Review: Bought the optional 120mm fan which draws heat off of two OC videocards and exhausts it through the grill in side panel. Nice touch having additional fan exhaust hot air through the top also.
First LCD
Pros: Since it's my first led monitor I'm very impressed with this product, I kind of used the reviews here to choose. Waited for the right price to show and pounced. Glad I did.
Cons: The manual is not all that helpful, it's learn as you go as far as the pretty well hidden controls go.
Overall Review: Overall very nice, brightness turned down 50% or so should be your first objective. I'm enjoying it so far and if/when I get another led monitor Acer has got to be a top consideration.
Lian Li PC-7B
Pros: Lightweight(when it's empty), well built, top mount psu, top mount case fan, and optional side mount fan position. Plenty of cooling and interior space(easily accommodates large video cards and cpu coolers). No problem lining up a MB to back plate and mounting holes because the case is manufactured square.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: Other than 2 classic CoolerMaster cases, I have always bought Lian li cases because they last for years. I had not bought a new case in like 10 years.Glad to see Lian Li quality is still top notch. I have three PC-62 and like that classic style/look which is why I purchased the PC-7B for my new gaming PC.
PCP&C
Pros: I've always used PCP&P PSUs since my first 350w, which still works.Every build has one of their PSUs in it, which are solid and deliver rated or above steady power.Plenty of cable lengthwise with plenty of connections.
Cons: No cons.
Overall Review: All the extra cable can be a pain but I've always found a way to bundle it out of the way. There's a reason PCP&P won't build modular(read it on their site)and please don't skimp when buying a PSU.
A-DATA gets an A
Pros: I'm very satisfied with this memory, worked from day1 without any system glitches. Gigabyte GA 7N400>AMD XP3200+>Leadtek A400GT>Leadtek TV2000XP>IBM HDD>Plextor CDRW>Toshiba DVD>SB Live Platinum>PC Power&Cool Turbo510>Lian Li case>Debian Etch OS
Cons: Not one
Overall Review: Big difference in price since I puchased($132.99)but want more at the lower price for the Gigabyte MB and an Asus MB.
