Pros: Huge. Awesome.

Cons: Takes up a considerable amount of space on my desktop.

Overall Review: I'm getting a second one to fill up the rest of my desktop.

Pros: I'm a software developer. This machine smokes my workstation at work, which is a high-end development machine. I replace HD0 with an SSD on the first day, that's important. The machine scores a 7.3 on the windows experience index. Awesome.

Cons: There's a pause when the machine boots up and when some service/hardware starts up. Could be software, but I've never experienced this before. After a 30-second pause the machine is normal. Fairly minor though. The larger complaint is the stupid S-bar, without which the camera doesn't work amongst other things. Ridiculous. Seriously, MSI - open source or send me the code and I'll make people stop complaining about this.

Overall Review: Fantastic computer, haven't really hit any major snags. I love watching my colleagues drool. I set the keyboard to pulse colors (i.e. breathe) and it never ceases to stop people in their tracks.

Pros: This is easily the best monitor I've ever owned, hands down. No dead pixels, perfect image.... games, movies, everything looks fantastic. I liked the initial brightness too, it's beautiful. I was replacing a dead 21' LCD... and I have the sister of that monitor still on the system... makes it look absolutely PUNY, and the color is far better, far closer to my printed images. Absolutely wonderful.

Cons: It takes up most of my desk, and my other monitor looks tiny by comparison... and it's a 21'. It has small monitor's complex now.
