Great Bang for The Buck Cable

Omni Gear HDMI-2-HDMI 6 ft. Black HDMI to HDMI 2.0 Cable (4K Ultra HD) Male to Male
Omni Gear HDMI-2-HDMI 6 ft. Black HDMI to HDMI 2.0 Cable (4K Ultra HD) Male to Male

Pros: Works great on my 37 inch Vizio. Great picture on 1080i HD. Cheapest aftermarket hdmi cable I could find in the brick stores was $12. You can pay for the Newegg 3 day shipping and you'll still come out way cheaper.

Cons: None so far. Yeah you could buy a some what higher quality cable. For me I honestly wouldn't be able to tell much difference.

Overall Review: Super slow shipping with free shipping. Might be worth just going ahead and paying the bit extra for 3 day. But hey, it's free shipping right?

Most Critical Review

Could of been....

Diablo III PC / Mac Game
Diablo III PC / Mac Game

Pros: Something fresh and different from the other games in the series. Graphics are pretty good and great interface. Story is pretty good.

Cons: Gets old and boring really fast! Wayyyy too much dialogue gets a bit annoying after a while. Killed Cain off way too early. (Ok that's just my personal thoughts on Cain). Pony land is a pure joke. (I know it was supposed to be just a funny bonus to the game) Doesn't have that Diablo feel to it. Just not dark and gritty enough for my taste for a Diablo game. Too many more to list here lol.

Overall Review: Over all the game is pretty good just not great at all. I wouldn't pay over $30 for it.

Pros: Thin, light weight and portable. Quad core with plenty of room. Everything runs smooth and fast.

Cons: locked up on me twice after trying power on. hold power button and volume+. Other than that it works great. No room for expansion but I knew that already. Plus it has 32gb which is more than enough room for me.

Really Good Game

Battlefield 3 Standard Edition PC Game
Battlefield 3 Standard Edition PC Game

Pros: Overall great game. The realism is pretty dang nice. The details and game play is great. (I've only played it on campaign so far). Runs great on my system at high settings. (See below for specs)

Cons: Only really have 2 complaints. You have to use it through Origin which overall for me isnt that big of a deal. However you have to use the website to start your game? It's weird and I don't like it. Don't really care for the dust particals that shows up in your view. It's get rather annoying. Because they are always there it seems. I might be able to turn it off, haven't looked yet. But all these just my opinion of it.

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card (100314-3L )

Pros: Great performance, great price. Every game I've played on it has handled them with no problems med-high to high settings. WoW, RAGE, Dead Island and many other (haven't played BF3 with it yet). Hasn't gotten too hot but I also have plenty of air flow in my case. Was thinking about setting up water cooling for it but as of right now I really don't see the need for it.

Cons: Non that I could really think of. Kinda wished I went with a 2Gb version. But it isn't really a con.

Overall Review: Pay no mind to the reviews that knock eggs off because of their rebate issue(s). These reviews are intended for the product itself not for the rebates. Really you should be buying it because you like the price vs performance that's stated. And not buying it just because of a rebate.

GREAT BANG FOR THE BUCK

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 125W Processor - HDZ965FBGMBOX

Pros: Runs great. Haven't had one problem with it at all. Runs everything I need it to. Every game and program I've thrown at it has done just fine.

Cons: Runs a little hot. Stock heatsink and fan is complete garbage and LOUD. This thing seriously needs a after market cooler. I put a Cooler Master 212 on it. Was getting idle temps of 42c now with my new cooler on it i'm getting (depending on room temp) 34c down to 30c idle. Gaming it hasn't went over 46c. Keep in mind all this will also depend on your room temp and your pc's overall cooling.
