Great Card..Stupid Game retrival

EVGA GeForce GTX 275 1792MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 017-P3-1175-AR
EVGA GeForce GTX 275 1792MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 017-P3-1175-AR

Pros: ExcellentCard.... No brainer here..

Cons: EVGA.... You make great products. Why cheapen the experience by making a consumer download a 8Gb game. Then to boot, you have download (perhaps a malware program) called Steam to get the game. My connection is only 768 at best. It has been trying to download for 15 hours because either the "Steam" server is slow or my connection slows down. Nonetheless, 8Gb is too much ask to download. Sure I have choice and not download the "free" game but it's a $50.00 free gift. Sorry call me old fashion but give me a DVD and the case.

Overall Review: The card deserves 5 eggs but the bundled free game escapade knocks it down. Newegg gets six eggs :)

And that's the way it is....

KRK Systems RP8G2 Rokit G2 Powered Studio Monitor
KRK Systems RP8G2 Rokit G2 Powered Studio Monitor

Pros: First, these are professional grade studio monitors. They don't color the sound. What you hear is the way it was recorded. With that said these are the most transparent studio monitors I have owned thus far. The bass is killer. They will truly dip down to 44hz as long as the source contains the information. I am a broadcast engineer and I have my own project home studio so I know what sounds good. If you really want to hear how compressed your MP3 files are then buy these; 10 to 1 You will start ripping at 320, WAV or FLAC. The amplifer and efficiency of these monitors are unreal. The volume knobs are indented so its very easy to set the monitors to the same volume level. I have mine set at -6db (10 o'clock) and they are way loud enough. I have yet to move the volume know from this setting.

Cons: Not really a con, but they have a much narrower sweetspot than hi fi speakers so you should have them angled at you and they should be placed at ear level.

Klipsch RF-82 II Reference Series Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black)
Klipsch RF-82 II Reference Series Floorstanding Loudspeaker (Black)

Pros: For 4 years I have these speakers bi-amped connected to a VSX-84 Elite receiver. They are hands down the sweetspot of the Klipsch RF lineup. Excellent bass, Excellent mids and highend. Imaging is also excellent. U are not going to find a better speaker out there in this price range. They travel well to. LA to Africa to the Middle East!!! They are some bad $## speakers

Cons: Heavy....Very heavy

Overall Review: You must connect these to a clean amplifier to get the sound the designers intended. Don't whine and put less than 5 eggs cause you skimped on the amp!! These speakers rock hard!!!

This thing is an animal

Acer Aspire 17.3" Intel Core i5-460M 4GB Memory Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit LX.PXB02.081
Acer Aspire 17.3" Intel Core i5-460M 4GB Memory Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit LX.PXB02.081

Pros: I have the 15.6" UK version of this. It plays Grid, Far Cry2, Hawk and other games very very well. The 5650 card is the key ;) My desktop is an i7 and for the road and just chillin I use this laptop. More than enough power. The only other difference is the UK version has blue tooth which make using a bluetooth mouse easier.

Cons: I had to pay for it!!! :0

Overall Review: Look, all these laptop computers today are built about the same. It's up to you to buy the one with the features and hardware to will do what you need it to do.

works great!!!

Overall Review: Ha!! During the Installation I must have accidentaly turned on the wake-up alarm. At 2am an unfamiliar very loud sound beeped thru the house!!!! Girlfriend slept right thru it!! :-) Didn't use the CPU temp sensor. To much of a pain to remove my Coolermaster V8 heatsink
