Pros: Long cord, they're sorta comfortable (but get a little too tight for me personally after 45 minutes or so), good sound IMHO, much fuller sound than my skullcandy earbuds. Still working well after maybe 40 hours of use (2 months).

Cons: They're comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time for me. They have these really nice pads, but they're slightly too small for my ears (maybe average size? I guess?). But if I just wiggle 'em around every now and then I'm fine. Not too hot for me either unless i'm moving around a lot or something.

Overall Review: I own some $20 skullcandy earbuds and these HA-RX700 headphones, and my sister owns the Bose On-Ear headphones. I'm not a sound expert, but I thought that these were only slightly better than the skullcandy, and the Bose were only slightly better than the HA-RX700. I guess my advice would be, if you aren't an audiophile, to maybe think of getting these JVC headphones or something like it in the price range and that's rated well, because I just didn't see much difference between these and the Bose, not $150 worth by any means. But that's just me. Merely some food for thought.

Pros: it turned on once

Cons: it turned on once

Overall Review: i'm so upset, it worked once and now nothing. i've never had this nice of a tv before, and i turn it on once and now nothing. i waited patiently all week for it. i never spend this kind of money on myself. and this is what i get. should have known better than to cheap out and buy refurbished. i don't understand. i thought refurbished meant tested and working properly? i know they slip through the cracks sometimes, but it took me like 10 minutes to get it to turn on the one time it did. this one had scratches on it too. i worked hard all day anxious to get home and play a new video game, and nothing. siggghhhhhhh. buying the Sceptre version instead and hoping to return this piece of junk. i wanted to go Vizio because it was a name brand. what a mistake. i don't have much faith in the Sceptre one, but that's all i can afford.

Pros: Overclocks well, good bang for the buck.

Cons: heatsink is pretty lame, but it gets the job done i suppose.

Overall Review: AMD FX-6300 @ 4.0GHz GIGABYTE GA-78LMT uATX AM3+ 16GB (8GBx2) DDR3 1333 RAM Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM Windows 7 Professional 64 bit GT 630 Antec Earthwatts 430W

Pros: Worked perfectly out of the box, no hiccups whatsoever.

Cons: Only runs DDR3-1333 speeds, 2200 MHz HT, SATA II speeds. Not really cons, more like sacrifices you have to make to get a uATX board that has four RAM slots while still on a budget.

Overall Review: Running this rig... GA-78LMT-USB3 FX-6300 @ 4.0 GHz w/old phenom ii x4 stock cooler. Nvidia GT 630 1 TB WD Blue Antec Earthwatts 430W

Pros: Works GREAT on my Phenom II X4 955!

Cons: nothing.

Overall Review: I just got a new case and in the process of moving everything over, i noticed that the first time i clearly didn't use enough paste. i use the "rice grain" method and apparently my rice grain didn't spread as much as i thought it would. So i reapplied with a dab about twice the length of a rice grain horizontally across the copper/aluminium heat pipes of the TI and presto! 4.0 GHz @ 50C max w/1.4375V. I got it to run stable @ 4.2 GHz @ 55C max w/1.48V, but i don't want to push it too hard. no need. this thing is amazing!

Pros: cheap, 5.1, good software on CD, decent equalizer, it works with windows 7.

Cons: see below.

Overall Review: I'm kinda picky about my music quality, and I was looking for a decent sound card to pair with my Sony MDR-V6 headphones. I've never had a soundcard before, and having seen the good reviews for this one i decided to give it a try. My verdict is this: it's worth it...but barely. Did it improve music quality vs. onboard? I suppose, mostly due to the equalizer it has, but not by much. the simulated surround sound is kinda cool too i guess. if anything it was worth it just to satisfy my curiosity of whether or not a $30 card could make much difference. To me, it wasn't much different, but it does have nice features for the price.
