Pros: I have bought three of these over that last two years. One for my home office, one for my office office, and one for my wife. They are great monitors for the price. No dead pixels on any of them. I'll seriously consider HannsG monitors in the future, when I upgrade to a larger monitor.

Cons: The control buttons are on the side, which is a nuisance in my case since I am frequently switching the input signal between analog an digital. I doubt this will be an issue for the vast majority of users. Would have been nicer though in the button were on the front.

Pros: Beautiful graphics when it works.

Cons: Overheats and locks up too often. Software (Catalyst Control Center) won't even start if the video card is acting up. It will only start if the card is working normally. Glitchy gameplay. Poor quality.

Overall Review: This is the first ATI card I have ever put into a machine of mine. I have been an nVidia fan since the GeForce2 days, but after reading so many great reviews of the Radeon cards, I thought I'd give one a try. I put this card into a new build about 5 months ago. Up until about a month ago it worked great. Now I can barely play any games without it overheating within 10-15 minutes of play. The card will lock up and try to reset itself, sometimes successfully, sometimes not and I'll have to reboot. The software the card comes with won't even start if the card is overheating. Games with which I have this problem: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Everquest 2 Need For Speed: Most Wanted Neverwinter Nights 2 Also, I have never overclocked the card, as that is something I just have no interest in. The case has more than adequate air flow. I don't know what the deal is with this card. Maybe I just got a lemon, or maybe it's that giant thick mylar sticker they put over the whole heatsink.

Pros: Flawless installation, both with hardware and drivers. I paired this MB with a Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition CPU and was able to unlock the two disabled cores, effectively turning it into an X4. I enabled ACC and it automatically overclocked the CPU to 3.6 GHz (from 3.1). No tweaking required and it's been stable so far.

Cons: I don't like the color of the PCB as it does not match my color scheme. No big deal, just personal preference. Only reason I mention it is because I can't leave the Cons field blank.

Overall Review: This is only the second Gigabyte board I have used, and I have to say, while I had primarily used Asus and MSO boards in the past, Gigabyte will now be my brand of choice. I should also note that unlocking the two disabled cores on the X2 is not guaranteed. It requires a CPU where the two disabled cores are not defective, as is the case with some of them. I got lucky.

Pros: This is a brilliantly designed keyboard. By sticking to the basics, Saitek has crafted the best backlit keyboard I have ever used. The back lighting is adjustable, and the characters are all easily readable in a dark room. But what really separates this one from the pack, is that in a brightly lit room, you can turn the back light off and the characters are just as easy to read. The reason, I suppose is due to the silver colored keys. In my experience, the characters on most (if not all) other backlit keyboards are unreadable in a bright room. Saitek avoided this problem because in a lit room, with the back light off, the keyboard looks like it just has silver keys with black lettering. On top of all this, I really like the industrial style of the design. I recently bought a second one as a back up just in case my current one ever fails and Saitek no longer makes them.

Cons: I'm not allowed to leave the Cons field blank? What silliness...

Overall Review: I have had this keyboard since the summer of 2006 and it still works great. There has been only slight wear (mostly due to gaming) on the 'wasd' keys, but I emphasize 'slight', was the wear is not noticeable unless you really look close.

Pros: Upgraded with this card from a X1900GT. Needless to say, there is a marked improvement in graphics performance. I have played Age of Conan, Everquest II, The Witcher, and Civilization IV, and Oblivion all with maxed out settings without any problems. Age of Conan looks phenomenal with this card. Even better, my case stays significantly cooler with this card than with the X1900GT. The card hardly breaks a sweat and I have been impressed with cooler after opening the case after a few hours of AoC and the heat sink is barely warm to the touch (as opposed to scalding hot with the older card). Install was flawless. Stuck the card in, went to AMD site to get drivers, smooth sailing all the way. Oh, and almost forgot the best part.....looks freaky cool in windowed case.

Cons: The leather mouse pad is lame...and unfortunate (who uses a mouse pad anymore anyways). I imagine the majority of them will go straight to a landfill. A bundled game would have been better.

Overall Review: I am not usually 'wowed' by the packaging, but this time I was.

Pros: Extremely quiet and moves a lot of air.

Cons: The fan's construction is orange.

Overall Review: When lit up it's more of an orangish red than a deep red; almost like a fire red. This is good or bad depending on your tastes. I was hoping for a deeper, darker red, but haven't found any red case fan like that yet. It's quietness and ability to move a lot of air more than make up for the color though.
