Best HT system under $200.

Pros: Low price Great 5.1 sound Sub woofer is surprisingly loud Two optical inputs DTS
Cons: Basic operation, not much tweaking if at all possible.
Overall Review: Great system, If you are looking for a low budget system, buy this now. If you are looking for a amazing HT sound experience, this won't do. I mean yeah it gets loud and sounds good, I am always turning it down. But it won't compare to a $600-1000 HT system in the way that the sound won't be as full and rich as the nicer ones. This is Panasonic, good stuff, no complaints on the remote either. I use a xbox 360 to play my avi rips and dvds, it sounds great, as do the games. I recommend it if you are wanting the 5.1 for a low price but don't want the $75 GE or RCA junk systems.
Faulty fan after 4 months.

Pros: I got this card for a great price and it is plenty powerful enough for me. Looks like it is built well, stays very cool.
Cons: The fan started making an annoying sound, sounds like a ball bearing going out. It has only been 4 months or so and I hardly ever game. It effects me because i cannot record music now. I have never had a fan go bad so fast.
Overall Review: Worth it, just saying my experience.
Just what I wanted.

Pros: -High quality sound card at a somewhat affordable price. -Crisp clear highs -Excellent drivers and control panel -Win7 drivers -It's not to big, and looks nice. -7.1, optical out, coax.
Cons: -Really, I don't think there are any. This card sounds amazing
Overall Review: I've had some pretty decent logitech THX 2.1 speakers for awhile and always planned on buying a sound card to get the full use out of them, I finally did. Music is a big part of my life really, I love it and I have a nice sound system in my car that I enjoy. My computer setup was just okay before, it was doable but I would just hate listening to distortion in some songs and things like that, you know, not have that crisp clear highs, that fullness. I have it now. buy this product. Also, gaming is a new experience for me. Everything just sounds so crisp and full in sound now. I hear every slight noise that's going on, and it sounds really full and clear. I regret not buying this when it first came out. I think it's worth the money if you listen to music or game on your PC.
I'm impressed.

Pros: -Affordable, a good product. -Has about everything you could want in a mobo. -Firewire, raid, loads of inputs. -Very good looking mobo. -Felt like quality.. not cheapness.
Cons: -One IDE port. Even though Sata is the new standard pretty much. For those with a lot of IDE drives you might be disappointed.
Overall Review: I hooked this baby up today and it booted right up. Great bios and I was really impressed with it as soon as I opened the box. Came with a lot of good things, it also looks very clean and pretty. I'm so glad I spent the money on this and not a cheaper one. I recommend you buy it if you want a good mobo that won't hold you back on things like games, etc. Seems very stable. No issues whatsoever. It replaced a Asus P5N-SLI I hated that board. About 6mo after using it, it kept blue screening, sometimes it would work, sometimes not. If it didn't blue screen in the first few minutes after loading windows, it would be okay, but this could take awhile to achieve. I should have returned it but didn't. Either way something went out on it, but that board looks ancient to this gigabyte one, and the asus wasn't cheap. Sure it was 4 years ago, but I didn't have a good experience with Asus. Not to say they arn't good, i'm sure they are. I just prefer Gigabyte. I recommend you buy this board.
Buy it.

Pros: This fan replaced a Scythe fan that was about 45 db, pushed a lot of air but unbearable. It was so loud, that I couldn't hear anything outside this room going on, it was terrible for me because I really like to listen to music. This a great fan that I cannot hear. It is very quiet and seems to push air well. Also, my temps pretty much stayed the same. If you want a fairly inexpensive fan that sounds so quiet you can't hear it, buy this. Like I said, it moves air good too.
Cons: None that I can think of.
Overall Review: I was going to spend the money for those quiet scythe fans but I figured, this is half the price and will do the same job. I think I was right. Plus with my previous scythe fan making clicking noises, it was a easy choice to pick this fan.
smokin crack!

Pros: I don't know what that other guy is smokin, 1080i cant be upscaled to 1080p. this tv looks great! the quality on my blurays is amazing. i love this tv, and i dont have to buy another one for years!
Cons: its so big, it has its own gravitational pull.
Overall Review: buy this.
