hec Black 0.7mm Thickness SECC Steel 7K09BBA30FNRX Micro ATX Media Center 300W Power Supply / HTPC Case
hec Black 0.7mm Thickness SECC Steel 7K09BBA30FNRX Micro ATX Media Center 300W Power Supply / HTPC Case

Pros: I've built about 10 HTPC's for friends and family and this one was purchased as a 'lowball' and it performs great with a mATX Gig 785 & AMD 445 X3 OCZ 2GB DDR2 6400 Lite-On BD, using the onboard HDMI ... running cool and smooth, did NOT have to remove PS for BD player A++

Cons: None

Overall Review: alot more bang for the buck with this case than any htpc type case I've built in the past

Large DIAL/CASE

Bulova 96B134 Men's Adventurer Watch
Bulova 96B134 Men's Adventurer Watch

Pros: Make sure you realize what the size of this watch is before you purchase. I didn't place close attention. I'm a big guy so it worked fine for me. But if you are not, beware it's a very large case and dial. I love the look, the heavy weight. Bracelet is very heavy duty and attractive. I wear it more often than most of my watches

Cons: None

Overall Review: I wear about 15-20 watches regularly. It's my only jewelry and I like to mix it up daily. This Bulova is high in the rotation.

hec Black 0.7mm Thickness SECC (Japanese Steel Metal) ITX ITX200A Mini ITX Media Center / HTPC Case

Pros: All I expected and more. Used with Zotac M-ITX / AMD 445 X3, (1) SSD (1) 2.5 HD (1) Slim DVD. It all fits! Temps are low 40's under Video load. Structurally very strong. Power Supply quiet so far, hope it lasts.

Cons: None

Overall Review: It's left up to builder how to do any cable routing and wire management. Mine didn't look pretty inside but not a jumble either. I'll use this case again.

Great Buy

SAMSUNG 22" 5ms Height &Pivot Adjustable Stand Black Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 8000:1(1000:1)
SAMSUNG 22" 5ms Height &Pivot Adjustable Stand Black Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 8000:1(1000:1)

Pros: Very good adjustments, plays BD excellent even though 1050 rez, nice spartan unobtrusive industrial design (no wasted real estate on tinny speakers), pivot & tilt very handy (esp @ $$), overall great experience, light gaming with a 9500GT just fine

Cons: like all monitors in this class, base could be more sturdy, but you get used to the jiggly when you bump your desk and it's no better or worse than average in this respect

Overall Review: Hey, it's a great monitor for the price! I've tried the lesser brands and I'm sold on the SS's and LG's even though they're 10-20% more $
