Happy so far

Bitdefender Total Security 2013 - 3 PCs / 2 Years
Bitdefender Total Security 2013 - 3 PCs / 2 Years

Pros: For the past couple weeks that I've used this I've been really happy with the robustness of it. I haven't noticed any slowdowns in terms of Internet speed like some of the other reviewers say they experienced. And it does a much better job than the free solution I was using before. 2 years of support.

Cons: None that I've experienced so far.

Overall Review: While this did lengthen the boot time for my computer, I didn't see this as a real con because even though I do have an SSD, I don't need my computer to be fully booted a few seconds after I push the power button. I imagine it lengthened my boot time because Bitdefender is now starting before I even log in to windows and doing its job, which that peace of mind is priceless to me. And it didn't lengthen the boot time too much in my opinion. Bitdefender offers a 30 day free trial, which I used before deciding to make the commitment of buying their product, I recommend you try it out as well before you buy to see if quality and thoroughness is what you want in an anti virus program

Was a great card while it lasted

HIS IceQ X Turbo X Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card H687QNX1G2M
HIS IceQ X Turbo X Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card H687QNX1G2M

Pros: I bought this card back in May for $239.99, and it ran every game that I play flawlessly and on max settings for 5 months, I thought it was the best money I've ever spent on my computer. It ran cool and was quiet, which are pretty important to me.

Cons: This card was great, until a couple days ago while I was playing the BF3 beta, my monitor kept on "losing signal" after 10 minutes of game play, and at first I thought that it was just the beta being unstable since it had never happened to me before and I didn't know about the other people having problems with this card. But after reading the other reviews I'm pretty sure I'm having the same problem, not sure why it took this long for the problem to surface though, I wish it would of happened sooner.

Overall Review: I really like the looks, and cooling performance of the iceq HIS cards, and it seems like the 6950 has some good reviews so I think I'm going to get one of those. But if that one fails too then I probably wont buy an HIS card for a long time.

Works for PC too

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for Mac [Online Game Code]
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for Mac [Online Game Code]

Pros: My personal favorite Call of Duty game, and I still think its the best.

Cons: You have to use some workarounds in order to update punkbuster since they dropped official support for it, there is a video how to if you search for it that was posted recently on how to do this manually, or there is also a modified version of punkbuster for legacy games that you can also find. Another thing is I can't seem to get punkbuster to leave me alone every time I start the multiplayer version, canceling the install lets you continue on to your game and you can play just fine.

Overall Review: I bought this on a whim, I saw that is was the "Mac" version and I figured I would try and activate it on steam and see what happens, especially for the low price that I got it for (5) it seemed like a no brainer since if it was indeed OS specific I have a hackintosh install on a spare ssd in my computer that I figured I would of installed it to, but sure enough the CD key activated just fine in Steam and I was able to download it to my Windows install.

Exactly what I needed

Pros: The material feels of high enough quality that I'm satisfied with it. Plus the price was right, and the 10 ft length means I don't feel as chained to the wall as I used to while charging my laptop.

Cons: I can't find any.

Great Monitor

Pros: Great monitor, no dead pixels and it has great color once you adjust the appropriate settings. Great size and quality for the money

Cons: No real cons, other than you might want to change the settings once it comes out of the box since it set to be very bright

Overall Review: to bonerific2121, I bought mine on the 31st of Jan and happened to print the rebate form your looking for, the code for last months rebate was "ASU-5683" good luck with that, and I hope you see this.
