Great Card
Pros: Small and would most likely fit in anything. Inaudiable in my system, I have a loud 80mm fan on my cpu. Plays the included bioshock game on ultra, never dropping lower that 40 frames.
Cons: For some reason I didn't get my free copy of Blood Dragon, but I don't really care.
Overall Review: Good on a budget, plays most anything I have, amazing from my point of view, but I upgraded from a 5450, so really anything would be better.
Pros: Thin bezel, great looking edge to edge design on the upper part of the monitor. IPS panel makes all the colors more vibrant, and the viewing angles great. Magnetic spot on stand for holding small metal things, such as batteries or paperclips.
Cons: The screen has a glossy finish on it, but i knew that from reading some reviews, so I wont take an egg.
Overall Review: Overall great monitor, using it as my new primary monitor. Mainly for gaming, and graphic design.
Great Keyboard
Pros: Great tactile feedback, along with the great typing experience that should be expected with any Cherry MX keyboard. Great non-slip pads on the feet of the keyboard, I don't use the raiser stands, very solid, thick, and heavy design.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Oddly enough I received the model of this keyboard that has no branding on the front-side of the keyboard, having no logo above the arrow-keys and Windows keys just saying "WIN", also the one I received has a completely flat black design, not the grey as pictured. I'm not sure if this was a mistake in shipping or if this is what all people will receive, but either way i prefer the flat black, and simple design.
Pros: Easy driver installation, helped me save money, overall a good product. I see no reason to buy any other competitor's over this one, even Microsoft's own model.
Cons: Sometimes, but very rarely, the drivers will stop working, in which case you have to select them again, but that's no reason to remove an egg, because its most likely Windows' fault.
Overall Review: Anyone who says that the driver installation is too hard must have absolutely no idea what they are doing since the only thing separating these from normal, is that these aren't completely automatic. It was also odd that a disk was included in the box, it was unnecessary to me, and the instructions disregard it.
Super Cool
Pros: Good cooling, 100% silent at idle for me, barely makes a noise at load (no where near as loud as stock AMD), pretty looking.
Cons: None, but had some trouble with my case. It ended up fitting though.
Overall Review: The shipped product has stickers on the X's on either side, not just metal like in all of the pictures. For anyone who is wondering, it fits in a Thermaltake V3 black edition.
so far so good.
Pros: Quiet Works?
Cons: Cables aren't sleeved, but it was inexpensive anyway, so I wouldn't expect that much. The 8 pin supplemental power was almost too short for my HAF.
Overall Review: None
