Great

Turtle Beach Ear Force X42 Premium Wireless Gaming Headset with Dolby Surround Sound for Xbox 360
Turtle Beach Ear Force X42 Premium Wireless Gaming Headset with Dolby Surround Sound for Xbox 360

Pros: Great sound, crystal clear, no distortion! its got about a 30ft range, so I can lay in bed and watch movies finally and not have to worry about waking people up!

Cons: If you're hooking this up to the PC, you'll need to run to an electronics store and grab a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter, or pay another $20+ for the pc chat cord. It comes with the xbox adapter, which doesn't fit regular jacks. Also, you'll need that pc cord if you don't have an optical out port on your sound card or motherboard. The usb is just used to power the receiver apparently. The instructions are severely lacking and the knowledge base just plain sucks when it comes to troubleshooting. had to look up that chat cord problem on youtube. None of those things are something i'd take an egg off for though,.

Overall Review: My friends reported a slight humming sound when I talk, but its nothing loud

Most Critical Review

nice item

BELKIN Silver 15.4" PocketTop Laptop Case Model F8N043-SLV
BELKIN Silver 15.4" PocketTop Laptop Case Model F8N043-SLV

Pros: Pros - nice and sturdy

Cons: Cons - if you have anything but a slimline notebook, don't buy this one, the zippers will bust. Will not work with a Lenova Thinkpad - to thick. Had to RMA it because the zippers popped clean off

Overall Review: Its a nice case and will work well with the thinner notebooks.

Get it!

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (4 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL7Q-8GBXH

Pros: Love this ram. Its fast, good looking, blue and well worth the cost (if its high when you're reading this).

Cons: None so far. Nothing to remove an egg for, but they need to include the optimal timings for the advanced areas, like tWR, tRFC, tWTR, etc.

Overall Review: The Intel DP45SG mother board will not automatically pick up the correct timings, it put it as 9-9-9-24. But after putting it at the correct timings and adjusting the advanced stuff, it increased the boot speed and the load in times for several games. It was kinda hard to get the ram out of the packing, but I guess that's a good thing too

Great Product

Cordless Combination Kit, Milwaukee, 2691-22
Cordless Combination Kit, Milwaukee, 2691-22

Pros: I love it. I bought it locally (for $200 less too). I got it to drive a 6in lag screw through an oak tree, did that and asked for more!

Cons: The battery charger doesn't hold the batteries well at first, you have make sure the battery is snug. But both charged in about an hour and half (came with a partial charge)

Overall Review: I don't do construction, but my brother does and highly recommended it to me. I got it on sale at another store locally and haven't regretted it. It was well worth waiting for a sale. Its got an extended Li Battery you can purchase seperately. Mine came with a soft case though, but still, its been through a couple of big storms and still works!

So far so good

MSI GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 768MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N460GTX Twin Frozr II SOC
MSI GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 768MB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N460GTX Twin Frozr II SOC

Pros: So far, so good. It's played everything i've thrown at it with relative ease. I was able to overclock it using the tool from MSI (comes with it i believe). You won't be disappointed witih an of the 460's!

Cons: I've had some minor overheating issues when oc'ing, but nothing that wasn't easily corrected.

Overall Review: I can't max the settings out due to my system, but its not a fault of the card. It surpased my expectations on fc2 and crysis- both on high, but not maxed @ 1280x1024 on a 17in monitor, and at 1680x1050 on a 22in HD monitor.

Great monitor

Acer S231HLbid Black 23" 5ms HDMI  LED-Backlight LCD monitor  Slim Design  250 cd/m2 ACM 12,000,000:1 (1000:1)
Acer S231HLbid Black 23" 5ms HDMI LED-Backlight LCD monitor Slim Design 250 cd/m2 ACM 12,000,000:1 (1000:1)

Pros: I love this monitor. I bought this to replace a 19" that crapped out me and man was i surprised. The backlighting is a nice touch, full HD, comes with a vga, dvi and a short hdmi cable to boot. Windows7 picked up the monitor and automaticlaly set the native resolution to 1920x1080. Well worth the cost!

Cons: Doesn't have a height adjustment on it, but that's not really a con since i knew about it. The control buttons are kinda hard to use and there's no real instructions unless you use the cd.

Overall Review: This one is for me, but if the price keeps low enough, i might just replace the monitor in my boss's office too with one. at 23inches, its perfect for my desk. assembly was easy, just 2 screws and can be mounted on the wall or a swivel stand. If this thing was also a tv, i'd keep it at home. Black ops and Hawx 2 were actually enjoyable on it!
