Pros: Great value and fairly powerful. Easily overclocked, although I don't do that. Runs cool. Runs all my pre-2010 games at maximum resolution and settings. Runs current (2010-2013) games at maximum resolution and pretty high settings. Overall, a great card for those who don't play cutting-edge games or who don't demand to run every game at maximum quality and high framerates.

Cons: I suspect it won't handle the next batch of games (i.e. 2015+) fast enough for most people and may need to be replaced. I'm tolerant of low frame rates in most games, so I probably won't replace it for quite a while, but other people may not be so tolerant.

Overall Review: The card is quite long -- 11 inches -- so make sure you have space in your case.

Pros: * Large, bright screen * Crisp, clear image (after calibration) * The image filters are not just a gimmick. Some of them really improve the quality with certain types of images. * A minijack audio out on the back gives you the audio from an HDMI signal, so you don't need a separate device to extract the audio. * Good value for the price.

Cons: * The screen exhibits a faint but noticeable static or snow effect in dark areas of the image. * The advertised 50000000:1 contrast ratio is a total lie. The true contrast ratio is about 1000:1, IIRC. The ASCR software tries to fake higher contrast, but they really can't make up for this hardware deficiency in software. Black still shows up as dim grey, etc. I had a true 100000:1 display, and it blows this one away. * The audio jack introduces significant noise into the signal. It's definitely usable, but with headphones the noise is clearly audible. * The screen is wobbly on the stand. * When I first used it (with a VGA cable), it had horrible flickering and fuzzing. I was extremely disappointed. Long story short, it turns out that these are "normal" and easily fixed. I'd say "read the manual", except that... * It doesn't come with a manual. (You can find it on their website.) * Worst manual ever ("Foo -- adjusts foo."). But it helped solve the flickering problem.

Overall Review: I vacillated on whether to give this three or four eggs. I would give it three and a half if I could. Overall, the screen is still a good value even with its flaws, and I'd recommend it. It's just not as great a value as it's advertised to be. The screen is a bit too large and bright to use as a computer monitor on some desks. For me, on my desk, it ended up being unusable because it was so bright at times that I had to shield my eyes, and I couldn't move it far enough away from my face. I'm using it for my X-box and movie-watching instead, where I can place it several additional feet away, and it works very well in that role.

Pros: Good price Has all the features I needed for a good AMD-based system More ports than I know what to do with Supports memory beyond the standard 1600 MHz Good overclocking features if you're into that Stable if it's working

Cons: Began dying after six months. Dead after eight. After about six months, the system wouldn't boot after I pressed the reset button. It didn't even initialize the keyboard or video card or finish the POST and beep. The fans and hard drive spun, but that was about it. I needed to cycle the power about 5-10 times before it would boot again. I thought it was a fluke, but it happened again the next time I shut it down. I tried to leave it running 24/7 after that, but every time I had to shut it down, it had trouble starting again. A month later, I had my quarterly cleaning and disconnected the computer. This time it required 10-15 power cycles before it would boot. Today, I foolishly hit the reset button and it will boot no more, even after 40-50 power cycles. Very disappointing. I tried disconnecting all the peripherals, using different RAM, etc. Nothing. I never overclocked it, and kept it well-cooled. While it was running, it was completely stable. But it died after a couple dozen power cycles.

Pros: Nice internal and external design. Decent price. Unused front and rear expansion port covers have holes in them to allow air flow through them.

Cons: The built-in fans are three-pin fans, so their speed can't be controlled and they always run at full blast. Although I can't say that they're loud, they're definitely a lot noisier than I'd like them to be. I'm thinking of replacing them all with four-pin fans. The hard drive bay doesn't allow screwing drives in with screws. (You can screw them into brackets, but you can't screw them into the case. I'm not a big fan of screwless designs.) The bay for DVD drives, etc. does allow it using screws. Doesn't have a connector for front-panel USB 3 support. (It can only plug into the USB 2.0 connector on my motherboard.) Doesn't provide a back expansion slot insert for USB connectors (so 4 of my motherboard's USB ports are unusable). The metal is a bit flimsy, but not too bad.

Overall Review: The case is a bit small, but it (barely) fit everything I wanted to put in there. It handled the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (just barely) and my MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC video card, which is known be quite long. I personally don't like the blue LED fan. I don't want my computer shining light at me. (I wouldn't mind if it was on the floor, but right now it's on the desk top.)

Pros: Unlike some other cables, they insert fairly easily. The price isn't too steep.

Cons: None so far.

Pros: The power supply works well and installed easily. It has all the connectors you're likely to need. It comes with some zip ties. It's enough to manage the power cables, but you'll likely need to buy more anyway if you want to manage other cables as well.

Cons: Has too many molex connectors. I guess it's good to support old hardware, but it'd be nice if they were detachable. I wanted to cut them off to save space, but that would have been a hassle. The power connectors for my devices were reversed from what I expected. In order to connect them easily I'd have to turn my devices upside-down. (I could do that for the internal drives, but I'd rather not.) Instead, I just twisted the cable around, but it's hard to use that way.
