Great Card

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100215L
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100215L

Pros: This card is great. I don't know how well 1 of them perform, but two of them in CrossFire got me amazing performance from Crysis at 1680x1050 res, all high settings and 2x AA. They ran COD 4 at all full settings w/ 4x AA at 1680x1050 res with no lag at all. They look pretty cool and now are very cheap.

Cons: Had to bump up the fan speed to 60% to get it to stop showing artifacts in Crysis. The cards run fairly loud at that speed, but I don't care because I don't hear it while explosions and gun fire are going off all around me in Crysis.

Overall Review: Crysis looks amazing at all high settings, so don't worry that you won't be able to crank it up to "very high" settings. Haven't tried them in DX 10. I would deff. recommend getting two of them....

Disappointed

RAIDMAX KATANA ATX-729WS Silver Steel /Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case
RAIDMAX KATANA ATX-729WS Silver Steel /Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Does not finger print, easy access to top USB and audio ports, nice lighting, fans move a lot of air.

Cons: Extremely junky medal. I must have bent the innards of the case 5 different times while installing all my parts. NOT FULL TOWER!!! Extremely disappointed. It is not any bigger than a mid tower case. I bought it for space, but did not gain any over buying a mid tower with this false advertised case. The "tooless" design is among the worst I have seen.

Overall Review: Don't buy if you're looking for an actual Full Tower case.

BenQ T241W Black 24" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor with Height and Pivot Adjustments 250 cd/m2 1000:1 Built in Speakers

Pros: There's nothing bad to say about this monitor. The viewing angle is great, it's height adjustable, swivels, HDMI, built in speakers, you can switch inputs from HDMI to VGA if desired, etc etc. Worked great out of the box and I didn't have to adjust the color settings at all.

Cons: No HDMI cable included, but you can just buy one for around $6 on here anyway.

Overall Review: Best monitor I've owned, no complaints.

Oops

Overall Review: Accidentally wrote a review for this monitor. My review was intended for the "Non" gamer edition of this monitor which is great. Sorry about that guys.

Simply, Great

Pros: What can I say? This monitor has been perfect. NO dead pixels, great picture quality, insane response time, 1080p capable, easily wall mounted. It looks great as well, very sleek. Like the glossyness of the stand. Arrived in 1 day with 3 day shipping selected =).

Cons: No included DVI cable, stand isn't That sturdy, speakers aren't the most powerful but I don't care cause who would use monitor speakers anyway???

Overall Review: You can buy a DVI cable for like five bucks on here and a wall mount for like $40 which saves you room on your desk also. I've had NO trouble out of and I'm completely satisfied. Thank you Sceptre and Newegg.

Great

PLANTRONICS GAMECOM 1 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Stereo Gaming Headset
PLANTRONICS GAMECOM 1 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Stereo Gaming Headset

Pros: Very comfortable, great bass. Can get very loud. The mic is among the clearest I have ever used. People I call via Skype say I am as clear as a regular phone. Can't ask for much more in a now $14.00 headset.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Best headset for the money
