SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card 100225L

Pros: Displays WoW in a 22" monitor at 75fps 1600x1020 resolution with everything maxed. Thin. Cheap. Attractive casing.

Cons: Loud fan.

Overall Review: It's $100 for half a gig of ddr4 video memory... Get two and run Crysis o_o

Pros: uhh

Cons: A white ball of light flashed in my case and it died. White goo was everywhere in the PSU. Randomly happened while using computer for minimal tasks.

Acer 22" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms 1680 x 1050 D-Sub, DVI X223Wbd

Pros: This thing has been running SOLID since January 2008 - that's more than FOUR years. I use it many hours a week, and there has never been a single problem.

Cons: No HDMI. The contrast isn't great. The resolution is dated.

Overall Review: Again, 4+ years of hard use and this is still the same as when I got it. Buy this if you want dependability.

CM Storm Spawn - 3500 DPI Optical Gaming Mouse with Durable Omron Microswitches
CM Storm Spawn - 3500 DPI Optical Gaming Mouse with Durable Omron Microswitches

Pros: Most comfortable mouse I have ever owned. Everything good said about it is true.

Cons: The cord is supposed to be fancied around the desk in some fashion, for it to work right. This applies to every mouse. And giving it 4 stars for being a CLAW GRIP mouse when your hands aren't comfy with a CLAW GRIP is moronic. You don't have to use the claw grip like your fingers are about to rake somebody's face; a palm grip is easily obtainable by using your middle finger knuckle.

Overall Review: I bought it for $37, it's now $25, but still felt like it was a good deal. It fit my hands better than the G5, or MX 518.

i-rocks KR-6401-WH WHITE 103 Normal Keys USB Wired Slim Chocolate Key Style Keyboard

Pros: Solid and stable construction. Effortless and comfortable keys. Cord is just enough. So cheap ($12 free ship!)

Cons: Feels cheap, but this is such a nitpick. The 6 keys above the direction keys are not standard placement.

Overall Review: It's a good keyboard; I don't have any problems with it.

Turtle Beach X12 XBOX 360 Headset

Pros: Reproduces 3d soundtracks accurately. Build quality feels solid and premium. Cord makes a bad-anotherwordforbehind scarf if you wrap it around your neck (not advised to jump off anything when doing this). Very reasonable price for a quality headset.

Cons: After an hour+, they start to give me migraines; it's like a giant chip clip for my head. But I have a big head+ears. So if your head's really big, consider snapping the top piece in half and adding length to it. Don't plan on playing anything adult-rated around minors, because the sound leaks and you know what children do when they hear cussing.

Overall Review: Why oh why is the cord 15 feet long. Why.
