Most Favorable Review
ASUS 19" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D VW198T
ASUS 19" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D VW198T

Pros: Clear display, default settings are a little bright but easily fixed. no dead/dim pixels on either of my 2. I can use my desk now 2 crt's use up a lot more space lol.

Cons: on board speakers don't sound very good but if your serious about sound you'd already expect that. Came way before the rest of my order :( will have to wait till monday to really run them through their paces

Overall Review: was a little dubious about buying unrated product however the price was right and they work great

Most Critical Review

Great... for 5 days

GIGABYTE GA-MA790GP-DS4H AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Everything worked great for 5 days then...

Cons: all analog outputs stopped detecting when a speaker was plugged in so no audio

Overall Review: waiting for response from gigabyte tech might rma or just buy a soundcard. still have front panel audio if i disable speaker detection

works

Cons: none

Does what it should

Pros: Well built and sturdy, even the plastic. front fan filters. excellent airflow. looks real sharp. tool free clips are sturdy and secure

Cons: hard drive installation a bit of a pain without using a magnetic screwdriver but who's going to use that on a drive. oh well they're in there and i don't plan to swap out anytime soon

Overall Review: had to knock off the egg for the HD cage otherwise i love it and would definitely recommend

Worked well 'till it didn't

BIOSTAR K8M800 Micro AM2 AM2 VIA K8M800 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
BIOSTAR K8M800 Micro AM2 AM2 VIA K8M800 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: worked fairly well for almost a month

Cons: onboard sound would not work with onboard vid. only one or the other. after about 1 month onboard HD controller has failed.

Overall Review: this board may be ok but i will probably not bother to return for replacement. is fairly obsolete just needed it for an agp card which also died (overheating issue) i just need to quit buying low end parts.
