Excellent monitor

Pros: Bright! I had to turn the brightness down actually. It looks very good (the physical monitor itself) as does the display. It's great for movies or TV shows and the native resolution is perfect for me (not too big so that I can't see text or so big that my video card can't handle playing new games on it).
Cons: None really, but I don't care for the "MagiColor." It isn't a problem as I changed the color settings to how I like.
Overall Review: This monitor (and my Samsung cellphone) have turned me into a fan-boy in the making.
Takes some getting used to

Pros: It's very solid. Not very heavy, but enough mass to keep it down. Cheap after rebate, promo code, and sale. A pro for many people would be that it isn't much larger than a normal keyboard. I'm sure all the G1 through g12 keys would be great for RTS or MMORPGs.
Cons: The keys are quite small. I am really disappointed just because otherwise, I'd really love this keyboard. I have big hands but I guess I just have to get used to it. If I can't after a couple weeks, I'll return it. I really preferred the greater tilt of my previous keyboard. The software is so-so. There are profiles for some games. It wouldn't detect some Steam games but would detect others. All-in-all the list of game profiles is rather small. The backlight isn't as bright as I expected it to be. Red is ok, but anything else is much dimmer. The backlighting is off-center on some of the keys. Some of the keys aren't lit properly, but most of them are well-lit.
Overall Review: I wish I had this keyboard before I bought my last headset as I've switched to a USB headset.
Works!

Pros: Good price while on sale Supposedly more environmentally friendly. All the cables were long enough (unlike the previous PSU I had!).
Cons: It's not modular, not that I particularly care.
Overall Review: I'm not an electrical engineer. It works, comes in a pretty green color and has more than enough cables for my modest system. It's generally better not to skimp on your PSU, so I went with a quality brand (that also happens to make the case I use). 500W is enough for most systems, and more than enough to power my wimpy Nvidia 8600.
Great games

Pros: Civs I, II, III, and IV!
Cons: I love Civ but it really bites that these games include CD-checks. Not to mention the fact that the games come on CD's and not DVD's... I guess Sid is still in 1999. I got this on an email promotion and of course it is already less now than it was with the promo code then.
Overall Review: I bought these after having played them through less than legal means and I am happy with my purchase but CD checks really really blow. I'd give this 5 stars easily otherwise.
Great surge suppressor/powerstrip

Pros: Appearance, design, coax protection. I really like just about everything about this. It's really nice that it includes coax since I have a TV tuner card and cable internet. The layout of the outlets is fantastic and I like the plug in (it is relatively flat and the cord comes out at an angle). It fits very well behind my desk and cord clip is very handy.
Cons: The cord is pretty long but I'm not complaining. Some people may have a problem with it though. It doesn't have ethernet cable protection, but I don't use DSL so it isn't a problem for me.
Overall Review: I saw this when I was shopping for a computer on a popular Texas based computer company's website and immediate wanted it. So of course I went straight to Newegg once I finsihed my order and I am very satisfied with it. This thing blows away 'similar' items you might get for only ten dollars cheaper. I have been converting my friends and family to this suppressor and no complaints so far. Insurance is a really nice bonus but I don't know how easy it is to be compensated for damages.
Beautiful monitor at a great price

Pros: Good widescreen resolution (1440x900), arrived in perfect condition and great condition. I can't find a dead pixel on it. Looks good on Linux as well after the proper divers were installed.
Cons: Not much of a con, but it is a good idea to adjust the brightness and other settings. The dynamic contrast seems to sometimes lead to flickering, but I've only experienced that twice with this monitor.
Overall Review: Newegg has this at a great price already, much cheaper than retail brick and motar outlets and I grabbed it with a rebate making it that much sweeter. This is a good monitor to get if you want to watch movies or play games at widescreen resolutions.
