Most Critical Review

Dont waste your money

Battlefield Bad Company 2: Limited Edition PC Game
Battlefield Bad Company 2: Limited Edition PC Game

Pros: Graphics look good, single player is fun.

Cons: Cannot connect to servers. EA has addressed this problem and are "working on a fix". But from what I can tell on forums this has been in the process of being fixed for quite a while. You will not be able to get into a server. And if you get lucky and get into the occasional game, you wont be able to do anything before you "lose connection".

Overall Review: In case you're wondering, I'm running windows 7 x64 with an i7 860, 8gb ddr3 1600, and a Radeon HD5770. And my internet connection speed is plenty fast. It plays other online games with ease.

Great sound

Turtle Beach TBS-2114 Earforce HPA2 5.1 Surround Sound Headset with Amplifier and Removable Microphone

Pros: They sound great. The amplifier has a level adjust for each channel, so you can balance the surround exactly how you want it. This is my first true surround headset, and its like nothing i've ever used before. They fit great, very comfortable. You can crank it incredibly loud, and the bass shakes your head!

Cons: As some of the other reviews mention, at very low volumes or if no audio is playing, there is a buzz from the amplifier. But if you're wearing the headset without audio playing, I think you've got bigger issues.

Overall Review: Incredible headset for under $100

good deal

Cons: No cooling unit on it

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL

Pros: Fast. I am only running this 4gb right now but I plan on buying another pair to run 8gb. My motherboard immediately recognized it as 1600. Great deal (I bought it on sale for $93)

Cons: The price went back up?!

love it!

Pros: Great motherboard, I have it running with the i7-860. Lots of options for upgrades and connections. the placement of everything makes much more sense then many other motherboards i've dealt with. definitely not cramped with anything. good price too.

Cons: none.
