Overall Review: -samsung is still top dog.

Great Monitor

ASUS ROG Swift 27" 1440P Gaming Monitor (PG278Q) - QHD (2560 x 1440), 144Hz, 1ms, G-SYNC, USB 3.0, DisplayPort, Pivot, Tilt, Swivel, Height Adjustable

Pros: I love the feature set of this monitor. It's very maneuverable. It's got a great picture with no bleed through. Solid construction.

Cons: I'm slightly distracted by the fact that the actual screen does not reach all the way to the bezel. So that thin bezel is nice, but the screen doesn't really get all the way there. My other issue is the rotation. There's really no set stopping points. So when you rotate back to landscape it's tough to tell if it's level.

Overall Review: Overall, my cons are my own. They don't detract from the overall product. This is a great monitor. It would have only been better if it was 4K. But when you find yourself having to choose between G-Sync or 4K.. I think G-Sync is far more important.

Wow

LIAN LI PC-60FNWX Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: I wasnt expecting much from this case as i already own a Lian Li and while my old one is a good case with great production value, this case just blows it out of the water. All new for 2010 is the tool-less design. Adding a PCI card is as easy as flipping a switch. Just great overall design.

Cons: If you've got a big honking cpu cooler in the case there are spaces you cant reach in terms of the thumb screws that hold down the motherboard. So your only choice is to use a tool.

Overall Review: I'll definitely buy this case again.. easily!

Easy Setup

Pros: Very Easy Setup. Linksys does it again! Awesome Range.

Cons: no gigabit ports

Overall Review: I dont see why routers cannot be gigabit without costing in the thousands. Its OLD technology, and shouldnt cost an arm and a leg to put into the same box. Its should be a standard by now.

Another perfect product

SAMSUNG 17" a-si TFT-LCD SXGA LCD Monitor 8 ms 1280 x 1024 D-Sub, DVI-D 740B

Pros: This monitor works as advertised. This is my second Samsung LCD. My first is a 19". I'd buy again from samsung when the time comes.

Cons: the back of the monitor has a plate that covers over the connectors. Its cosmetic only.

Overall Review: If you have the money get the 19"
