Most Favorable Review

First build went great!

Cooler Master Centurion 590 RC-590-KKN1-GP Black SECC / ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case is beautiful. It's total quality. All my parts went in easily and great. Switching hd's and optical drives between bays is simple. My 8800GTS fits perfectly. The cable management is really great! The fans that come with this are quiet and push a good amount of air. I couldn't compare it to anything else though, as it's a first time build. The bottom mounted psu design is good as well.

Cons: The tool-less design is great, but not totally tool-less. You still have to screw the drives in on the other side so they don't wiggle around. Cable management is great and easy, but my 24 pin had a bit of a stretch to fit in the top hole, so I routed it inside the case and not behind the tray. Didn't want to ruin anything. __________________ If you're buying this, disregard these as they're not even problems. I just felt like nit-picking.

Overall Review: Newegg rules.

Good monitor for the price.

Pros: Great panel/stand. Very sleek looking. Colors are great. Gaming is great.

Cons: Some blurring/ghosting, but very negligible.

Overall Review: The monitor itself is very run of the mill IMO. I play TF2 competitively, and I really wish I'd have saved for a 120hz monitor.

Great Backup Solution

Awesome game.

Team Fortress 2 PC Game
Team Fortress 2 PC Game

Pros: Amazing gameplay. 9 different classes to choose from depending on your style. Tons of maps. Valve is always putting out new add-ons making this game ever changing and still fresh after almost a year. Great pro leagues, and public servers alike. The game is super unique and looks amazing. Novint Falcon support. Steam integration is great. Seriously, this is one of the best bang/buck games out there. I've put so many hours into this game, it's rediculous. If you're looking for an alternative to Counter Strike Source, look no further. This game also scales really well to low end systems (DX8 support?). Tons of mods and skins to keep gameplay fresh when vanilla (stock) gets boring. One of the best games I've ever played, honestly.

Cons: ABSOLUTELY NONE.

Overall Review: I didn't buy this game from newegg, but it's still amazing.

Best in ear bang/buck

Pros: I bought these in purple and love em'. Hehe. Moddable. (I especially recommend the Kramer mod)

Cons: sort of uncomfortable after a long use. Bass is a bit too much when I first used them (although the kramer mod fixes this).

Overall Review: Good earbuds. Totally recommend them.

Amazing bang/buck

Sennheiser HD201 Over-Ear Headphones

Pros: Great cans. Arguably the best deal in the sub 50 dollar range. Lightweight with great sound. Bass is average (less then the 202's I've read) but the cans are worth it.

Cons: My right ear went out after I was playing around with the cord. long cord. Not travel friendly.
