Pros: After a quick review I thought I needed to revise my review after a month of loading/testing/playing games on this system. First game I loaded was Warhead. For a hardware demanding game like warhead this plays the game unbelievably well on either DX10 mode gamer/mainstream and on DX9 enthusiast textures/gamer/mainstream mix on native res plays the game the way it was meant to be played. COD5 has to be seen on this laptop EXTRA setting all on high. Farcry2 is very playable on DX10 native res and looks and plays amazing.. Fallout 3 when you come out of the vault 101. WOW.. Left 4 DEAD is zombie mauling perfection... pre 2007 games are completely MAXED out and run so smooth the more I load on this lappy the more I am impressed by the performance.. I own several game playing machines and this one is not even the most expensive or the most powerful I have but it has quickly become my favorite to play on. Lan parties just got a whole heck of a lot easier to go to. BF2142 on this!! OH MAN!!

Cons: No CONS whatsoever.. This laptop is about the closest thing to perfection I have ever had the opportunity to play on..Sure everyone always wants more power and performance out of their computers but this one has a real nice balance of POWER/gaming performance for native res that will be hard to beat.. The next ASUS laptop the A1 model is $300 more for .1mhz bump in cpu power that don't justify the cost for the .1mhz gain in performance.. I say keep the $300 and throw that on a T9600 duo core upgrade if you want some real heat.. Using direct console that processor will net you 3.1 ~3.2 Ghz on turbo extreem mode. However even as is OCed to 2.64GHZ with the 1066FSB/4 gig ram combo games just come out smooth!! I gave up a GW 7911FX model to get this one and let me tell you I am so happy I did.. Those models are great and actually score a tad higher in 3D06 BUT it doesn't even compare with the fit n finish/GPU power per native res/warranty or the overall coolness of this laptop..

Overall Review: I am all about getting the most out of my hard earned cash and ASUS out of all other companies have been in the fore front of what you actually get for your money. To prove my point you get this and a T9600 Duo core upgrade (from the egg of course) just for shucks n giggles, and you will match the performance of those UFOWARES and the like for a thousand less. Even as is you are talking 2 to 5 frames less than a comparable 9800GT or GTX card. HOW impressive is this laptop you ask? I was able to convert a PC hater a MAC fan and all I had to do was let him play one round of warhead. LOL!! He now wants to get one of these!!.I know there are a lot of computer guys that aren't sold on laptop gaming. This review is for you guys. Play on this once is all you need. Laptop tech has caught up with desktop performance this laptop is proof..Play it! Love it! Just don't leave any fingerprints on my PERFECT LAPTOP SCREEN.!Get one while the egg still has em, cuz u can't buy them anywhere else.

Pros: I took the plunge for being the first to buy and try these sets out and let me tell you guys. At this price this head set is a monster..Admittedly I don't think Thermaltake when it comes to headsets. What made me realize their stuff is on point was looking at a review on PCgamer for their older eSports shock head sets. A very nice 92% score on them.. These happen to be newer and adds the Big 50mm Driver..What you get is a very Clear BOOMing BASS that has decent balance in tones and will punch your ears with a full sound not too many head sets can do. To say I am impressed is an understatement. Music as well as Gaming, what they were intended for shines on a whole new level with these head sets.While looking Big n heavy, they are light and very comfortable on your head. No pinching or squeezing feeling of any type they just fit very nice around your head and the CANS completely cover your ears..Once plugged into your sound card in your PC. Get ready for some serious sound!!

Cons: Almost had to return these as when I initially got em I thought the left speaker was busted as it would rattle.. After tinkering around a bit the culprit was the Extension volume housing for the headset with the volume nob.. I have to have the volume on full 100% for there to be no rattle but not a big deal as I control the volume in other ways.. The plug n play Microphone has its advantages but the sound quality on em are just ok, they get the job done during in game chats. What was more important to me was how these CANs sounded during game play.

Overall Review: Tested using my Soundcard and BFBC2 and COD Black Ops..I heard things for the first time using these sets and that put a huge smile on my face. The spacial surround recognition in the head set is definately a huge plus. They sound like I have 8 quality speakers around me at all times. The GUN sounds that pound from these head sets NEED to be HEARD.. They give a fuller richer sound than anything I have and I have used head sets that cost 3 times more..I think there is always an element of risk when buying good head sets at any price but these.. With out a doubt on my mind a extremely great value per buck.. Games---5 egg GUNS! Directional spacing! clarity! Music----4 egg Pounding Bass, Tones are clear but not sharp Movies---5 egg Explosions, sound effects PERFECTION Comfort--5 egg Ears might sweat a bit but Very comfortable. Mic-------3 egg It is a stand alone clip style. quality is just ok Value-----5 egg Gamers and BASS heads..This one is for you!

Pros: True 120HZ in2D mode, as easy as setting it in Nvidia control panel. Great color and clarity for a big screen..Absolutely floored the first time I booted up BC2 in 2D.. Even more so once I threw on the glasses..I have been waiting for a 120hz 27 inch panel for a year it seems. Once this one came out I had to jump on it. It was well worth the wait.. Games tested in 3D.. BC2, Black Ops, and Borderlands..All 3 in 3D are just CRAZY in 3D...

Cons: I had a previous Nvidia Driver installed before I hooked up the monitor.. If your 3D does not work you have to do a complete uninstall..Recommend using Driver sweeper in safe mode, and then reinstall the driver.. This fixed my issue..This will save you some time trying to figure out why it wont work if you have a previous driver installed before hooking up the monitor.

Overall Review: These 27 inch panels that ACER uses are made from LG and are absolutely flawless.. Everything works out of the box.. I know there will be some competition later on this year for 27inch 3D panels and maybe by then the prices might drop a bit, but I can't possibly see how those will actually be better than this. Very even LED lighting, great response in everything I have tried on it..If you are wondering if this Monitor would be worth spending the money. In all honesty I would have spent more for this quality.. It is not only the best quality monitor I have used but also the best 3D gaming I have seen.. Varified online that PS3 through 1.4aHDMI will play 3D Blueray and 3D games as well. Also varified that newer ATI cards do work in 3D as well..Great design.. Absolutely worth the money spent.. When a product like this works like it should it just puts a huge smile on your face!! Couldn't recommend a better monitor for Gamers!!

Pros: I am looking at my Idle temp on this card..Hows about a chilly 20degrees C..I took a good hard look as all the cards available here on the egg and I have to admit I had my eye on this card over the others. First there is this rediculous BIG ole honkin Cooler on this thing. NO WAY. This can't be the same Accelero Extreme plus heatsink n fans that is on another card for $80 more. BUT yes it is. IT also has a back plate and BIG custom air grills the more expensive card doesn't.. SO again I kept on asking what is the catch.? Oh wait it didn't come with some old has been game or benchmarking tool. Maybe that is why it is cheaper than the other cards by a lot and still has this awesome cooler on it? I threw on BC2 Vietnam and I am seeing frames of 200/ sec.. Played it for an hour or so and my temp in precision is at 40 Degrees C? NO way!! I had to play some more just to see if i was going to go up and nope it was actually at 39 degrees. The second time I checked...

Cons: No free game? No bench marking tool? No lifetime warranty? Imo I think by 2 years we will have a newer bigger badder card anyhow.. There always will be.. I just like the fact that my card will be quiet, nice n chilly for once.

Overall Review: I cranked up the OC to 830hz on the core clock and what you know, the card didn't go over 43 degrees. UNREAL folks. This has to be THE BEST GTX580..I bought this card on basis of the other reviews and I have to admit I am absolutely floored by how cool this card is from my older GTX480.. Going from 80 plus degrees on full bore to a chill 43 degrees is unreal..Seeing gains in frames in BC2 and Black ops. This was the card my GTX480 should have been. I was happy with the performance of the GTX480 but wasn't so happy with keeping the card fan on at 80 plus % while gaming. This card at 60% fan while gaming is almost half as hot as that card full blast..I honestly believe this card has to be the absolute best value for your money..Please don't spend the extra cash on an OCed card. Anyone that knows anything about fermis in general will know they all OC very well..Just how cool your gonna run it with the OC is the question. Bravo Galaxy. I am now a FAN!Give me the cooler vs lame game anyday!

Pros: Well yes I didn't buy this here. However since I am a fan of all things Newegg I figured I would let others know what this LCD can do for your game. The pros are the following -22inch 1680X1050 Native res.. Allows for higher frame rates and virtually zero input lag vs a 1080Plus monitor..Exe. I gained an average of 50 frames on Black ops by going from 26.5 inch 1920X1200 Res monitor to this one using the same hardware on the PC. If you do any type of online gaming this is very important. This will also allow you to hold off on that expensive card for a bit as this will gain you more frames= smoothness. -True 120hz refresh rate- Able to see bullets coming at you was a first for me in black ops. I hated the good players as they always seem to get the edge on me.. I am now convinced they are using a higher refresh monitor. I almost feel like I am cheating because of this monitor..The smoothness in having 120 frames a second in front of you vs 60 frames..It will WOW you..

Cons: This doesn't make you twice as better than what your abilities as a player was however in certain situations just being able to see better when craziness ensues online make a huge difference. Cons are -no hdmi out but this isn't a big deal -first gen 3D tech on this..If you aren't buying this for the 3D then again not a big deal. Haven't tried this using the 3D capabilities yet. -having to adjust from a bigger to a smaller monitor. If you read 99% of reviews on monitors that might go against what is the norm. To me I would say one of the main selling points for this monitor is because it is a 22inch monitor with the resolution being what it is.. Instead of buying an expensive Higher end card you can get great results just by purchasing this monitor. Or have both to truly have an edge playing online.

Overall Review: This monitor was an easy set up and I now have a 2 monitor set up. This one for the online shooting and my T260HD for the other stuff I need to do.. Believe me, coming from a gamer that has been shooting it up since Unreal Tournaments / Quakes, the first BF games to the newest. I once thought bigger monitor was the answer.. NOPE...I researched ALL the available monitors.. I think all the monitors are similar in quality and what they do..I will eventually test out the 3D on this but for now it serves it's purpose with flying colors and then some.. My friendly advice to fellow gamers.. Get this and replace it with whatever 60hz widescreen you are using..We are all brought up in this gaming trend of the never ending higher end hardware.. I have discovered how important it is to see what your hardware can show you.. What good is having the latest CPU 6 core and GPU when you are bottlenecked by a 60hz refresh rate.. Nuff said..There just simply can't be a better gift for a gamer..

Pros: Playing BC2 with this card is a treat. Real world performance has to be seen to appreciate the raw power of this card. I was able to run fairly smooth on my older GTX285 but with this card I am able to turn all settings Maxed on my 26 inch samung monitor with AAX16 and AFX8.. My KD ratio has increased quite a bit with this cards performance in the game . Crysis is amazing with this card.. COD games couldn't run any smoother or look better.. I havent been this impressed with a single card since my first 8800GT several years back.

Cons: first gen Fermi, I am shure the respins are gonna be cooler and perform a tad better. I say why wait.. These for now are MONSTERS.. A High end DUO or most QUADS would benefit the card the most..When you get this card you definately will have to check the rest of your configuration to fuel the card properly.. To my surprise, it is exactly the same size as my GTX285. After reading so many reviews I expected the cards to be physically bigger for some reason.

Overall Review: I can understand why enthusiasts would want to get another in SLI.. Especially given how these cards have been reported to Scale to 80% over a single card. However.. IMO not a real necessity..Just one in a proper rig config and it will pump out them graphics and make you smile. It is nice to have an SLI option however. If you been reading these reviews of initial owners of these cards then you are already interested in the card.. I say it is worth it to save up and get one.. These aren't your Rehash cards that Nvidia has done for the last 3 years.. The tech in these cards are an evolution of consumer graphics on the PC and well worth the money...Almost bought a GTX470 instead of this but I am glad I held out for one of these instead.. The GTX470 is a great option if you want to shave off the $150 and still have your performance as well... Overall I applaud Nvidia and ATI for that matter as I have a feeling we wouldn't have these cards if it wasn't for ATI with their 5K series cards.
