Most Favorable Review

Why all the low ratings?

ASUS P5Q3 LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5Q3 LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Great board, lots of features. It is still running great, no problems with Vista 64, q9300, DDR3 RAM (look for the approved vendor list online in their manual) and sapphire radeon 4870

Cons: none I can think of

Overall Review: I don't know why people rated this board so low. I bought it because I decided to ignore the comments and go with the specs (it was what I was looking for). Great board.

Most Critical Review

Does what it's supposed to

Symantec Norton Internet Security 2008
Symantec Norton Internet Security 2008

Pros: For someone like me who isn't a computer fanatic, this antivirus works pretty well. It's easy to use and works better than the other free ones that I tried (for the average joe user like me I don't want to micromanage my antivirus).

Cons: It does use up a good chunk of system resources, but I always take that into account. It also has a very annoying renewal reminder that has popped up and locked up my system before. I would be in the middle of a program and it would pop up (especially frustrating during a heated game of counter strike). It's annoying enough to dock three eggs.

Overall Review: Dear Norton, If you'd just make your program shut up, I would give this 4+ eggs. Otherwise a great program.

What is wrong with newegg or microsoft?

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit for System Builders
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit for System Builders

Pros: What I expect from Windows Vista 64

Cons: The CD-key/code on the packet was actually scratched out for three letters/numbers!!!!! I had to literally sit there and go through the permutations because tech support and/or the returns process would be a pain in my caudal end.

Overall Review: Please don't scratch your products (whoever is responsible).

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

Pros: Great screen, great price, great quality

Cons: It's not 24"

Overall Review: Acer has always been good for me. I'm not a major video quality freak (I read some comments here about how Acer video quality sucks...what are they talking about?)

Love it

CyberPower Intelligent LCD UPS CP1350AVRLCD 1350 VA 815 Watts 10 Outlets UPS
CyberPower Intelligent LCD UPS CP1350AVRLCD 1350 VA 815 Watts 10 Outlets UPS

Pros: Excellent power backup for the price! Well made and sturdy. Did I mention that it looks beatiful too?

Cons: I just wish power backups were cheaper in general.

Overall Review: I love the power drain meter and the power reserve indicator (how much battery is left).

Great monitor

Acer 19" SXGA LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI AL1916 Cbd
Acer 19" SXGA LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI AL1916 Cbd

Pros: Great priced monitor. I have two of these exact models, one from newegg and one from brick and mortar Tiger Direct. Owned both for more than a year (one for about 3 years) and they are great!

Cons: I understand that some very picky gamers will want a more expensive monitor, but average people like me don't really notice or care.

Overall Review: Apparently the other even cheaper model is buggy? I would just spend the extra $$$ and get this one then.
