Planar 997-5253-00 Black Dual Monitor Stand for LCD Displays
Planar 997-5253-00 Black Dual Monitor Stand for LCD Displays

Pros: Ok, when I bought this thing, I was a bit concerned because as it stands, I wasn't able to find someone to give a yes or no answer as to if it would hold a 24 inch monitor. And if it would hold a 24 inch, would it be a regular or a wide screen. So here it is I bought 2 Asus 24inch widescreen LCD's and mounted them on. They have about 1-2 inches clerence max between the two screens when everything is expanded as far as it will go. One tip for mounting the LCD's it doesnt take two people, just lay the monitors face down on a soft surface, and then lay the stand on top of the brackets, and then screw everything down. This makes it alot easier.

Cons: I had a slightly difficult time with the spacers included with the monitor mounts. If one pops off, what you need to do is bend it so that one side of the expansion slit overlaps over the other side, and then insert it into the hold for the arm, nudge it and it should pop right in. You will not beable to slide the spacer onto the main support and then slide the arm ontop of that. It will not fit.

Pros: Ok, so I bought two of these on sale, 220 each. I believe that the quality of the monitors are comparable with any other name on the market. They have rich vibrant colors and am very satisifed with the quality of picture, and the quality of construction.

Cons: none

Pros: Very happy with the power level this thing produces. I am currently running a GTX 260 super clocked, and i7 920 OC'ed to 3.4 Ghz, 4 sata Hdd's and 1 sata DVD-rw.

Cons: One small thing. When I plugged in my Pci-e cable, the little blue light ring doesn't light up. Not a big problem though.

Pros: Very happy about the internal space of this case. It provides enough airflow to keep my i7 920 (O.C. to 3.4ghz) consistently below 40 cel.

Cons: I have the Asus Rampage II Extreme, and the SATA ports are kinda cramped against the HDD bays. Also, some of the Cable Management ports are covered by my MB. Also, completely equipped the case weighs about 40-50 pounds.

Overall Review: Overall, this is the best case I have ever owned. I have had a previous Antec case, and a Thermaltake Tsunami Dream. The Antec 1200 takes the cake though.

Pros: Ok, overall I am very happy with this card. Honestly for what I paid, you cant beat it. And another cool thing was that the card came with a DVI- HDMI converter. Which wasn't even advertised in the picture of the item.

Cons: None
