Incredible

SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 4890 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100269-2GVXL
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 4890 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100269-2GVXL

Pros: As if it's not already blisteringly fast, I used CCC to auto-tune it to 940Mhz clock and 1065Mhz on the RAM... and it can go faster! This thing is insane, the vapor-x system is quiet and super efficient... allowing a lot of room for OC'ing. I know I can get more out of the RAM, but right now it's doing everything I want it too and it's not putting out much heat. Using manual fan settings, I keep it going at 65% power and it's hardly audible.

Cons: Blue LED... everything else in my case is green. But really, that's not even a con. I would say it's expensive, but honestly I got everything I paid for... so in that regard it's not expensive.

Overall Review: Good thing it is so fast, I don't think my wallet can justify running 2 of these right now... maybe in another month or so. Also, if you plan on getting this, make sure your Power Supply is big enough to handle it. For reference, I'm using a mushkin 800W PS and it's perfect for all that I've got stuffed in my PC (4 HDD, DVD, AM3 Phenom II, this vid card, a ton of fans, and some other goodies too).

Most Critical Review

Dissapointed to say the least

Logitech Silver Cordless TrackMan Wheel Mouse
Logitech Silver Cordless TrackMan Wheel Mouse

Pros: It's cordless, and is nice when it actually works. I use 3 of the corded versions at work and love everything about the design.

Cons: I've been buying logitech for years and have never had a problem before. I've used multiple wireless accessories and this is by far the worst performing one I have ever used. If the receiver loses direct line of sight with the device it completely quits working. I could understand if it were IR but it's RF. It should act like your typical household cordless phone. Instead I remain tethered, unable to move further than a few feet away from the sensor.

Overall Review: This definitely makes me rethink buying Logitech again. I used to choose them based on their name, now I think I'll go elsewhere.

Perfect

Hanns·G HH-251HPB Black 24.6" 2ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 15000:1(800:1) Built-in Speakers
Hanns·G HH-251HPB Black 24.6" 2ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 15000:1(800:1) Built-in Speakers

Pros: Everything you could want at a reasonable price

Cons: That I didn't have enough money and excuses to get two

Overall Review: I knew it was a 25" Monitor, but it looks bigger sitting on my desk. Also, We'll see about longevity as I've never had this brand of monitor before. So far it's great.

no problems at all

Koutech PCI to USB2.0 Card Model IO-PU520
Koutech PCI to USB2.0 Card Model IO-PU520

Pros: I plugged it in, booted it up, and it worked right away without any additional configuration. Of course it's in a rig running Fedora, which might help.

Cons: none really. The only thing I don't understand is the USB port inside the case... don't see how it would be useful.

Overall Review: I blew the USB buss on my motherboard with a piece of junk card reader. this saved me from having to buy a whole new motherboard. It saved me at least $65.

Steady performer

Pros: Quiet, cool, and cheap... what more can you ask for.

Cons: Nothing really

Overall Review: They really can be beat for the price. I've got 3 in my system now and not a single problem with any of them.

Deceitful shipping

I ordered my graphics card (and paid extra for) from this seller because it clearly stated it was in stock and SHIPPED FROM THE US. 15 days later I still don't have my graphics card THAT WAS SHIPPED FROM CHINA. I paid extra to buy from this seller because I did not want to wait for the item to be shipped from China. Had I known they were lying, I would have bought it cheaper from somewhere else.
