Most Critical Review

quite but really really cheap

SpecResearch Smart-2B Black 104 Normal Keys 15 Function Keys PS/2 Wired Standard Keyboard and Optical Mouse
SpecResearch Smart-2B Black 104 Normal Keys 15 Function Keys PS/2 Wired Standard Keyboard and Optical Mouse

Pros: The keys are super quite. I type rather fast and they are great to use. Haven't used the mouse, so can't speak for that.

Cons: Left foot broke off the keyboard on day two of ownership. You get what you pay for I guess... Can't even find it cause I didn't know when it broke off... Looks like they just pop on or off.

Overall Review: still would have bought, cause of price. Just pay attention everywhere you have the keyboard and don't loose the feet.

Win 7

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

Pros: Love the windows 7 OS. Not much more you can say than it's the best for the almost any hardware that can handle it...

Cons: price hasn't dropped much despite the OS being out for a while now.

Overall Review: Seems like hardware is getting so cheap that you can almost buy a piece of hardware that has licensing already for almost what the software cost alone is...

what you need when you need it...

Pros: Cisco branded cables always seem to last longer than their knock-off counterparts

Cons: none really

Overall Review: It just works... First time, everytime.

~~Great Buy~~

ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I absolutely love this board. I have had it for many years now. There has been little to no drop in voltages over the years. This system just runs. It has run 24/7 for longer than I can think. I've been running that way since Sept 2008. so over 3 years. Good overclocker. Good solid board all around. Has most everything you need.

Cons: slow to start up? don't know why, but when it's off, which isn't often, it takes like 10 seconds for bios to start it's posting process... don't know what that's all about, never affected me though, because I ran this box 24/7 so never really did anything but move the mouse to make it snap back to life quickly!

Overall Review: P5Q-PRO Motherboard Q6600 Intel Quad Core G0 Stepping overclocked to 3.0 4GB Kingston HyperX 1066 KHX8500D2K2/2GR GeForce GTX 280 Lian-Li Case DVDR/W Dell 23" LCD

Great TV. Soothing colors. Builtin Upscaler.

HITACHI UltraVision 50" 1080p Plasma HDTV P50S601
HITACHI UltraVision 50" 1080p Plasma HDTV P50S601

Pros: 1080 native resolution. Lower level inputs (composite) have built in upscaler that works well to help match the panel. Power swivel (that's just cool). Very good living room addition. Not to mention PS3 games are awesome on this screen!!!!

Cons: Some hdmi sources don't play well with this TV. That said, you can easily use a simple HDMI converter to circumvent any of these problems (cost me $34 to fix).

Overall Review: Good purchase, would do again.
