Excellent monitor

ViewSonic 20" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WSXGA LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D Optiquest Series Q20WB
ViewSonic 20" Active Matrix, TFT LCD WSXGA LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D Optiquest Series Q20WB

Pros: Great specs for the price and size of this monitor. It arrived with no dead pixels and I've yet to have any problems -- including any with gameplay in both fast-paced FPS games and MMORPGs.

Cons: Doesn't come with a DVI-D cable and has minimal inputs. Both of which you can easily see/find out by reading the specifications and reviews.

Most Critical Review

Is this USB 1.0?

Pros: Physically, it's a pretty nice flash drive.

Cons: This is one of the slowest "USB 2.0" drives I've ever owned. Even though the price is pretty cheap, I wouldn't bother purchasing another one of these. In the amount of time you will spend waiting on files to transfer, you can probably find enough change in your couch and on the ground to purchase a more expensive, faster thumb drive.

Brother MFC series MFC-495CW Up to 35 ppm Black Print Speed 6000 x 1200 dpi Color Print Quality Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB / Wi-Fi InkJet MFC / All-In-One Color Printer

Pros: Wireless, easy to load tray, decent software, pretty easy setup.

Cons: Small ink cartridges, frequent self cleaning, and won't print only black if other colors are out.

Overall Review: This is a decent printer with decent quality (nothing too bad or too great). Once the ink runs out, if you buy just a black cartridge, don't expect to print in only black because the printer won't let you for some stupid reason. This printer also becomes annoying after a while with all of its self cleanings that it goes through if you're trying to copy and/or print several things around the same time. I've also learned that it uses a small amount of ink while cleaning.

Great case

Pros: Good sized case that comes with cable management ability through the opposite side, comes with fans that have speed control, quiet. Easy to add/remove hard drives and optical drives.

Cons: They could have made the fan on the bottom portion easier to remove. I actually had to cut the piece that was holding it in out because my power supply and cords required more room.

Good monitor

Pros: Good color, refresh rate, size, etc. Comes with all cords. Price and size.

Cons: Switching between HDMI and VGA could be made easier. Could use more inputs.

Great for small TVs and monitors

Pros: Great for the price. I mounted a 19" LCD TV with ease using this mount. The mobility of your TV (or monitor) with this mount is great.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: If you find that your TV/monitor is not level after you've mounted everything, just adjust it by moving the TV. It won't do a full 180 degrees, but it does move a bit.
