Most Critical Review

EVGA Geforce 8400GS Update

EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card 01G-P3-1302-LR
EVGA GeForce 8400 GS 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 Graphics Card 01G-P3-1302-LR

Pros: easy to install

Cons: Just got off phone with EVGA Tech support. After reading all the reviews here I bought this card to replace onboard video, bad move. The tech told me to download a program that cleans out all video drivers both the onboard intel and the drivers for the NVidia card, which I did, bad move my display crashed. Called Tech support again and was told, that this card isn't for playing games, only games like Sims. This even though all the tech info on the NVidia site says BFBC2 can be played with this card. I just finished reinstalling my Intel drivers, and uninstalling all the card drivers. I'm sorry EVGA but this card is being returned, and may I suggest your first line tech support people need some training. I am not impressed with their service.

Update on this combo !!! Keyboard dead!!

CM Storm Devastator - LED Gaming Keyboard and Mouse Combo Bundle (Blue Edition)
CM Storm Devastator - LED Gaming Keyboard and Mouse Combo Bundle (Blue Edition)

Pros: Blue backlight "WAS" nice.

Cons: I've been using this keyboard since March this year. It's was packed in it's box with the mouse and all computer equipment was moved by car (I'd never trust movers with it ) , plugged back in after our move and found it dead. Never had a keyboard go dead before, and I've been behind a keyboard since the 80808's. I'd hope CM will do something to rectify this, because it almost costs as much to ship it back to Newegg for an RMA than was bought for.

Two pack is a great deal

Cooler Master Sleeve Bearing 120mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators (Value 2-Pack)

Pros: Nice color. Anumber of reviews said they were noisy, I haven't found this to be an issue ( they're actually very quiet).

Cons: none

Overall Review: Yes I'd recommend this fan value pack.

Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset
Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset

Pros: Was delivered on time. Sound is good but alittle lower than I'm used to. I play BFBC2 so the bass is important and there seems to be adequate. Some said the headphones were tight on the head, I don't find this a problem even after hours of wearing them (just adjust them properly).

Cons: Could use USB to power the sound (but you get what you pay for). Cord is cheap and flimsy, length is OK, it wouldn't of cost more than a dollar to put a better cord and connectors on ( but like I said you get what you pay for).

Overall Review: Over all these headphones are alright for the price, I'd buy them again.
