Great Product you can't go wrong!
Pros: Very up to date with the very easy to use app remote control, air play and various ways to connect and play sound and music thru the receiver, they should have named it a SMART receiver because that's what it is it connects to the internet very easily and can be controlled with your tablet or smart phone. I never use the manual remote, the app is much easier to use to control the receiver. I think it took me less than 10 minutes to set up this receiver (I was switching out an older pioneer receiver which went out after it took a whole cup of orange juice spilled into it beware these receivers have an open grill on the top of the receiver and it's easy to spill things into the receiver) I am very proud of my purchase the receiver does go very loud I have it hooked up to a set of polk audio 510s which the speakers gave lasted me about 6 years I'm planning to buy another set of rm510 to get the 7.2 effect instead of my current 5.1 set up.
Cons: because of the vent on the top of the receiver you should always have it in a cabinet or under a table, it will be tempting to sit things on top of the receiver such as a cup or food which will very easily get inside the receiver it seems that dust will easily enter it as well. The on screen GUI lacks a modern feel, but the free app makes up for it in controlling the receiver.
Overall Review: This receiver is replacing a poineer I bought back in 2008 it's so much more advanced it's like it was made by aliens but easy to use.
Good so far.
Pros: It works. Design is very stable and of high quality over standard power supplys wires are thickly coated and the unit is very heavy surrounded by thick black metal
Cons: my only con would be the fan. which to me is very noisy. my computer would be totally quiet if it wernt for this when the power supply is under pressure (like when im playing NWN 2) the fan makes a grinding noise at first i thought it was my HD then my video card but its the powersupplys fan. I also notice the wind coming out of the power supply is hot to alieviate this i turned the fan setting to high, now my computer sounds like a vaccume cleaner, or a meat grinder when the setting is low...
Overall Review: Maybe a more expensive power supply is made better...
Awesome monitor!
Pros: I love my monitor, I don't understand why all the manufacturers don't emphasize on resolutions higher than 1080p I will gladly pay more for more resolution I personally think 1080p looks grainy it really is an old technology now, this monitor looks 10x better than my HDTV and it puts out more vivid colors, how ever it does come at a price, lower resolution video simply is not made to be displayed on this monitor anything below 720p looks fuzzy and its almost unwatchable, however if you are looking at 1080p video it does look very very sharp, also I have the latest $500 video card and with video games it does look superb but the extra pixels means lower frame rates.
Cons: I am happy with my purchase, but as with technology getting better and cheaper I think as time goes on more manufacturers will catch on to the higher than HD monitors making the price drop.
Well worth it
Pros: Software suite played a Blu ray disc also burned a DVD with no problems i was planning to buy roxio but the suite that came with it is handeling all my Blu ray needs for now.... I am running vista 32 bit with xfx radeon 4890 hd and a core 2 duo 2.13 processor blu ray video runs very smoothly
Cons: no cons so far
Overall Review: I LOVE NEW EGG!
Warning
Pros: This mother board is a good board over all.
Cons: But be fore warned Ive encountered blue screens with my windows vista operating system, I blame this mother board its way too cheap, prehaps i should have shelled and easy $50 more to buy a more decent board. SLI rocks on this board however. DO NOT TRY TO OVERCLOCK, it just dosent work with my mother board, caused all my fans to spin faster and didnt load anything had to reinstall windows to get it to boot up once i had to reset the mother board now i can hope nothing else is fryed
Great Card!!!!
Pros: Installs EASY no problems. Runs NEED FOR SPEED CARBON AT Highest SETTINGS 1680 x 1050 resolution, However has trouble running nwn 2 at all high settings, very slow frame rate, getting second card to fulfill this
Cons: NONE
