Most Favorable Review

First AC unit.

Frigidaire FAA055P7A 5,200 Cooling Capacity (BTU) Window Air Conditioner
Frigidaire FAA055P7A 5,200 Cooling Capacity (BTU) Window Air Conditioner

Pros: Small, it will fit in any window in my home. Highly efficient has an EER rating of 11. I love the remote control and the fact that it can send signals at angels. Digital temperature display. I could go on and on about the pros there are so many. Air filter works very well.

Cons: Shipping an AC unit could be a hassle if it arrives damaged. Mine only had a very small dent in the back. I would say the size of a dime maybe smaller.

Overall Review: I'm using it in my media room. Where I have 2 computers and gaming systems. Having all these electronics can heat up the room very quickly. With this AC unit it can cool the room in 2 minutes and keep it there.

8x Speed

Pros: Verbatims are the best brand for making high quality dvd movies. Burned them at the blazing speed of 8x and all movies play really well. Have gone through about half the pack with no coasters.

Cons: None at all

Overall Review: Made in Singapore

Easy OC'er

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM3 125W Processor - HDZ955FBGIBOX

Pros: Easy Overclocking. Case badge. Stock cooler not that bad, it has a few copper heat pipes. Unlocked multipliers for true overclocking. Started out at 3.2 Ghz could easily reach 4.0Ghz with an after market cooler or water cooling.

Cons: None at all.

Overall Review: This is my first unlocked multiplier processor. Upgraded from a 5600 Brisbane, I did notice a difference especially in gaming. I had to turn off AMD cool and quiet. And update my BIOS so my motherboard could recognize this processor. It was running at 1.6ghz out of the box because of that. But I have it at 3.2 GHZ now.

Awesome Card

Pros: This is a really nice card. I can play pretty much any game maxed out at the highest resolution. It also came with two free games: Hawx and Wheelman. It has error lights to inform you of any problem. It's actually not that big either it fit perfectly inside my case. Fans at 100% sounds like a jet engine. That's actually a pro for me!

Cons: It had an 8 pin PCI-E connection. I had to upgrade my PSU. Not really a con but make sure your PSU has those connections. They weren't kidding when they said it ran pretty hot.

Overall Review: I was an nVidia guy. But ATI has gotten my business now and in the future for performance to price ratio.
