Runs Great

XFX Double D Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card FX-787A-CDFC
XFX Double D Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card FX-787A-CDFC

Pros: Still running great and I haven't felt the need to replace it after a year of use. Runs all my games at max settings at 1080p except for Crysis 3. Most games run at 60 fps. Runs AutoCAD Civil 3D without a problem, which surprised me. I was worried that it would be incompatible.

Cons: honestly can't think of any real cons. Maybe it would be nice if it ran PhysX. I found that Borderlands 2 struggles if PhysX is turned up, but I blame that on the game designers and nVidia.

Overall Review: Very large compared to my old 9800 GT. I wish I bought a bigger computer case. I'm thinking about buying another of these for Crossfire along with a 144 hz monitor.

Most Critical Review

Decent

Ladybug 2.4GHz 4.5CH Quadcopter
Ladybug 2.4GHz 4.5CH Quadcopter

Pros: About 10 minute fly time.

Cons: Not very responsive compared to other quadcopters I've flown. It takes awhile to overcome inertia and change directions, which I found makes it hard to avoid crashing. Reliable range is about 50 feet.

Overall Review: The model number is actually WLToys v929 in case you want to look up reviews. No where on the box does it actually say Ladybug.

Happy

D-Link DCS-5010L Pan & Tilt Wi-Fi Camera
D-Link DCS-5010L Pan & Tilt Wi-Fi Camera

Pros: Viewing from your mobile phone is a nice feature. Creates for peace of mind when I am away from home working late.

Cons: It will occasionally disconnect, which freaks me out sometimes. Motion detection is alittle too sensitive. It seems that it will send me a warning message with just even a flicker of light.

Overall Review: I recommend to purchase two cameras. I have two dlink ip cameras, each a different model and in different rooms. In case one disconnects, then I switch to the other. Eats up mobile phone data so remember to turn on your wifi.

Pretty Good

BenQ 27" VA LCD Monitor 4ms (GTG) D-Sub, DVI, HDMI GW Series GW2750HM
BenQ 27" VA LCD Monitor 4ms (GTG) D-Sub, DVI, HDMI GW Series GW2750HM

Pros: *It's bright. I had to turn it down a bit. *Provides enough light that I can see my keyboard at night. *The large screen makes for easier headshots in FPS games compared to my old 19 inch.

Cons: *There is some ghosting with magenta like colors, but it doesn't bug me too much. For example, I haven't seen any ghosting while playing Hawken, but I do when playing Skyrim such as areas where there are candles or fires. *Magenta on Adobe Lightroom seems to be exaggerated. I feel I have to use my auxiliary Dell Monitor when Photo editing. Again, it doesn't bug me as I don't do this often.

Overall Review: *I use this for mostly gaming and CAD work. *For my needs, this monitor is a great fit.

Can't Complain

White PC Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver For Windows Version 2.1.0.1349
White PC Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver For Windows Version 2.1.0.1349

Pros: It works and I haven't had any problems. I use this to play borderlands 2.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I had to do a little online research on how to install this. It won't work with the included CD alone. I forget exactly how I did it, but it was something about adding a device under "Devices and Printers."

Works For Me

Sport Bluetooth Headphones Headset Handsfree With Mic For Running iPhone 4,iPhone 5,5S,5C iPad 4 Mini,iPod,Macbook iMac Sony Nokia Lumia 920 Samsung Galaxy S3 S4,HTC Google Nexus Laptop etc

Pros: Inexpensive. Flexible. Connected to my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket and my fiance's S3 without a problem. Sweat Proof.

Cons: Poor bass. Could be a little louder. When I'm at the gym, their music speakers and televisions sometimes drowns out these headphones a bit.

Overall Review: I only use these for about 30 minutes and recharge after every use. I don't know what the max battery life is, but it is long enough for me. I like how I can just keep these on my neck when not in use and that I don't have to worry about wires getting caught on anything. Also, regular earbuds tend to fall out of my ears, but I don't have that problem with this product.
