Great Performance / Watt

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4670 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R467D3-512I

Pros: Put this is a Dell Inspiron 530 with E5200 to make a cheap gaming computer (without building myself). No problems running on the 300W 18A 12V PSU even after several hours of 3D gameplay. Runs extremely cool in this setup: 31C idle, and only 40C after 1.5 hours of 3D gaming. I don't ever hear the fan, but the system sits under the desk and at 40C I'm not even sure the fan is running much. Good airflow + low power computing set up = quiet. Completely satisfied.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Allowed me to build a medium capability gaming computer for only $400 (that's hardware and OS).

Great Product

Pros: Affordable, comfortable, and sound great. Got exactly the sound profile I wanted after adjusting the equalizer for 5-10 minutes. The range and quality is pretty amazing for the price. I am very pleased.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: They significantly dampen all other sounds . . . they work just like ear-plugs.

Excellent

Pros: For this price range these speakers are excellent. The mid and high range out of the satellite speakers are clear and more impressive than I was expecting. Also, this is the only speaker system with a 6.5 inch subwoofer cone in this price range. The other brands use 5.25 inch cones, which need more excursion to move the same amount of air. With less movement, the larger subwoofer cone has less distortion. I replaced a failing 2.1 speaker system that had a 5.25 inch subwoofer and this is noticeably better. There is less distortion at higher power settings than the old system. But, remember, you have to keep your expectations reasonable. This is a powerful system, but don't expect the kind of bass response you'd get out of an 8, 10, or 12 inch subwoofer. Finally, the desktop control for the bass and volume is pretty nice.

Cons: Really, at this price, there is no downside. It is solid at all frequencies . . . the sound is quite clear and accurate. It also gets pretty loud, if you want that. Just keep your expectations reasonable and you'll be very happy.

Overall Review: It's about 30 watts RMS total. Bottom line is this it's simply a great value. I think only the unreasonably picky or the delusional will be dissatisfied.

Pros: I'm glad I didn't spend more than $5 on an armored case because this one is perfect! I like the combination rubber/hard plastic design. It looks good, has a great feel, and I can keep a good grip on the phone. I like the built-in stand, which clicks into position and works nicely in landscape. It has a nice raised edge so I store it screen faced down to keep the screen safe. The vendor shipped it promptly and it arrived in good condition.

Cons: None. This product is perfect for the price.
