GTX 560

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 01G-P3-1460-KR
EVGA GeForce GTX 560 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 01G-P3-1460-KR

Pros: Shorter than the 8800 GTS 320MB it replaced by at least half an inch. Stays very cool. (35 Celcius approx. when Idle and 60 Celcius approx. under load) FPS is much higher in Portal 2, Deus Ex, StarCraft 2, etc. (Using 1680x1050 and 8xAA) Free Batman Arkham City game with purchase.

Cons: It wasn't free. I'll need a new PSU before I can SLI.

Overall Review: This is a great upgrade. My 8800 lasted longer than I thought but it finally started showing it's age with some of the newer titles. This card runs much cooler with better performance. At load it hits temps that the 8800 would get to while idle. Definitely pick up this card (or go for the Ti if you have the extra cash). I've seen people ask for it so my Windows Experience gave this card a 7.6.

C-H-E-A-P

Rosewill RK-200 - Standard Keyboard - Black, 107 Normal Keys, USB Wired
Rosewill RK-200 - Standard Keyboard - Black, 107 Normal Keys, USB Wired

Pros: Price! It's a normal sized, USB keyboard. Perfect for office use or if you just don't care about extra bells and whistles.

Cons: No extra shortcut keys. (I actually like this but it's probably a con to some)

Overall Review: Cheap, standard keyboard. What more could you ask for? Well, maybe a few dollars off to make it an even better deal.

Great enclosure

Rosewill RX35-AT-SU BLK Aluminum 3.5" Black SATA USB 2.0 External Enclosure
Rosewill RX35-AT-SU BLK Aluminum 3.5" Black SATA USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: Super easy to use. Slide the back out, pop the HDD in, apply screws and you're done. Went together smoothly and the parts seemed good quality.

Cons: I'll let you know if it messes up, but 100% good so far.

Overall Review: Got this and a 2TB HDD to replace an external used for server backups.

Great Flash Drive

Patriot Xporter Mini 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) PSF8GMUSB
Patriot Xporter Mini 8GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) PSF8GMUSB

Pros: Small! Bought 5 of these for some employee laptops and they are the perfect size. Don't stick out too much and will be great for the people in the field/on the move.

Cons: Not a con for me at all, was perfect for my needs, but they were a little bit smaller than I thought even. Just a heads up to people who make a habit of losing small items.

Overall Review: I will get more of these when needed.

Great Monitor

Acer 22" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI X223Wbd
Acer 22" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI X223Wbd

Pros: NO DEAD PIXELS on arrival. matte screen reduces glare. pretty good viewing angles and decent contrast ratio. very happy with the picture especially considering the price.

Cons: wasnt free :P

Overall Review: this is a great monitor. i would have liked a higher contrast ratio but a 22" at this price i cannot justify that as a legit complaint. VERY GOOD BUY. if youre considering upgrading to a larger desktop monitor and dont wanna spend too much this is a great buy.

Great Mp3/4 Player

Creative ZEN 2.5" Black 4GB MP3 / MP4 Player
Creative ZEN 2.5" Black 4GB MP3 / MP4 Player

Pros: Great sound, great video, low price. Small and light weight. Very easy to use, both in/out of player. Good lighting and decent viewing angles on screen, good volume control, Preset/custom EQ, FM radio, organizer and all the other extra junk you dont really need but why not have it anyway.

Cons: Video Converter that came with player would not encode most of my videos. Other people online had same problem, just use another video converter of your choice. Worth mention thou. Also, had it freeze up first time testing mic, no prob since then but again to let you know. No standard protection of any kind in package, though not a huge concern imo.

Overall Review: This players screen is covered imo well enough to warrant seeing the player for yourself before buying a case. I most likely will get one down the line but I dont see it as necessary as I doubt very highly I would scratch the screen (same as my phones front screen and carry it w/ keys everyday no scratches)
