Fantastic!
Pros: This TV rocks. No dead pixels. Sound isn't fantastic, but it's not bad either, and you get used to it. I think I was used to surround when I still lived with my ex. Anyway, I'm planning on getting a surround sound system anyway, so this is a sweet TV all the same.
Cons: You will need at the very minimum the red, white and yellow AV cables to connect anything to it. Also need an HDMI cable to connect to HD DVR/Cable box. Keep this in mind. This TV comes with ONLY the AC cord, and does NOT have a coaxial connection at all. The other option is to run the coax into a VCR or DVD player, and then run the AV cables to the TV. Either way, it'll work. Not really a con, but something to keep in mind. I have my DVR, and old VCR, and my PS2 connected to it and to accomplish this bought an HDMI and an AV cable like the one described above. Easy to connect stuff to though.
Overall Review: Best TV I could imagine for this price. Oh, HD looks absolutely AWESOME on this TV. Regular channels are okay, but if you've seen non-HD television/DVDs on an LCD HD TV, you know what it looks like. Glad there are so many channels in HD now through cable. This is my "interim" TV until I can afford a 50+" TV, but this one will definitely go in my bedroom at that point.
Random blue screens
Pros: The price was good, and it has twice as much RAM as my last card. Looks cool.
Cons: Well, my last card are a Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600 pro, but it quit working just after the 2 year warranty was up. I decided to replace it as cheap as possible, and found this x1600 pro, which was slightly more than the cost to replace my previous card with the same card. I am having random blue screens regarding hardware conflicts, even with new drivers. It doesn't even seem to work better in the games I play, so I think I'll go back to the 9600 Pro. I'm hoping newegg will exchange it for me.
Overall Review: I have an AMD 64 2800+, a DFI LanParty 250Gb Motherboard, 1GB RAM (Corsair i think). I think a 500W power supply. I've heard good things about this card, but it's just not working with my stuff.
Good monitor
Pros: It's a good monitor; no dead pixels. Good picture, great looking. Good size/resolution.
Cons: It doesn't raise up or swivel. It tilts, which is fine, and since it's so light, you can just turn the whole thing if you need to, so the swivel isn't too much of an issue.
Overall Review: Buy it if you want it.
Big bang for the buck
Pros: Good RAM, great price. Looks really nice. I definitely see a difference in load times, but I also bought a dual-core processor too, so that probably has something to do with it.
Cons: Nothing
Overall Review: Win XP 32bit only supports up to 3GB of RAM, so I can't really utilize it all, but 3GB is more than you need for most games out there right now. Regardless, I won't need to upgrade for probably another 2 or 3 years (at least until I upgrade my OS)
Beautiful
Pros: This is a beautiful power supply with a bazillion connections. Okay, well not that many, but more connections than I really needed for my machine. The blue LED looks nice, and the finish on this PSU is called black mirror I believe. It powers everything I have without an issue.
Cons: Not really a con, but this sucker is heavy. It comes in a huge box and weighs probably as much as 1/3 of my whole machine. Like I said, not a con, but just something to type here :P
Overall Review: Great power supply. I LOVE Rosewill products, and probably always will.

Freakin' sweet
Pros: This case pushes a lot of air! It comes with 4 stock fans and has 2 other places for 120mm fans. The monster 200mm on the top rocks, and the blue LED throughout are nice. The case feels nice and sturdy too. Definitely worth the money.
Cons: Nothing I can think of. Plenty of room for my build. The top fan doesn't seem to have a LED, but it's not a big deal.
Overall Review: This is a must buy. Newegg rocks as always. UPS got it here on time too.
