Intel Core i3-2100 - Core i3 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Dual-Core 3.1 GHz LGA 1155 65W Intel HD Graphics 2000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I32100
Intel Core i3-2100 - Core i3 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge Dual-Core 3.1 GHz LGA 1155 65W Intel HD Graphics 2000 Desktop Processor - BX80623I32100

Pros: -Great for budget gaming rig -Awesome Multitasking -Screams with speed in gaming, media encoding, etc...

Cons: -Can't overclock

Overall Review: I bought this as the CPU for my first custom gaming rig. I was expecting this particular part to be what would hold my computer back, boy was I wrong. Combined with an EVGA GTX 460 EE, I can run StarCraft 2, Crysis 1/Warhead, and all Source games on max settings. Crysis and StarCraft 2 run at an average 30-40 fps while all Source games run 150 fps average. If you are looking for a great CPU to throw in your budget gaming rig or for a media center PC, look no further because this thing ROCKS! 5 out of 5.

Amazing!

Pros: Very clear sounds, incredible bass from a 2.0 system, very clean look, control pod is great, saves space on desk!

Cons: A little pricey, no bass and treble controls

Overall Review: I bought these because I needed to save some space on my desk but still wanted a big sound from my sound system. Big sound from small speakers, now that is a tall order when it comes to computer speakers. But big things do come in small packages. For a 2.0 system, these speakers are VERY impressive. Multiple people have asked me where the sub is and were blown away when I told them there was none. The bass is lacking at times, but that isn't what speakers are all about. The clarity of the sound I get out of these is staggering. I hear instruments in my music I never knew were there in the first place. These speakers have far exceeded my expectations. If you are looking to save some space around your desk without sacrificing sound quality and have a little extra money in your pockets, then look no further. These things deliver!
