THE wheel.

Pros: I have been a gamer since I was about 5 years old (1985), and have always loved racing games. As long as I can remember I have always wanted a steering wheel in my own house. After very extensive research I bit the bullet and bought this wheel. Build Quality - As soon as I opened the box I was impressed. Leather and aluminum abound. The wheel is of comparable quality to any aftermarket wheel you might toss in a real car and the pedals have a great feel. The H style shifter is better than many I have used in arcade games. All the components have a nice weight to them. Game Integration - I only have experience thus far with GT5 on PS3, Live for Speed and rFactor on PC. The logitech profiler program is great and you can customize the numerous buttons as much as you like. As far as GT5, currently it doesn't have its own profiler. More on that later... however, it still works just fine. Force feedback - You'll feel the car tugging on you in the corners. It will change how you race
Cons: My only complaint is that Logitech and Polyphony didn't get together and add a profile for the G25 and G27 in GT5. There are numerous other wheels, and it seems both companies point the finger at the other blame wise. Currently there is a slight problem with the clutch pedal, if you shift too fast, it will think you missed a shift and the transmission will stick in neutral. For now I just speed shift without the clutch. Not so much of a "con", but a heads up. As I mentioned before, this thing has some weight. Do not think you can use a folding dinner tray to mount it.
Overall Review: There is a steep learning curve with this wheel. I have been playing racing games forever, and I also have raced cars as well. Don't think you can hop in a 700hp Skyline and tear it up, it takes time. However, I can tell you that ripping through Laguna Seca in a F1 car while using the paddle shifter is the most fun I have had in a racing game ever. I am very happy with my purchase. Now, I just need a PlaySeat!
Bang bang for the buck!

Pros: I did quite a lot of research on many variations of DX10 capable video card before finally purchasing this card. I ultimately picked it because it fit my budget and what I wanted out of a card, and it was VERY hard to find a legit negative comment. Installing the card was a breeze, and it fit fine in my mid-ATX case. Didn't have to relocate anything. And that was my only concern when I bought it. Especially when the HUGE box showed up. The provided software makes overclocking as simple as moving a slider. The fan runs very quiet, and can also be adjusted via the software the same way, idles around 35-40*c. And what everyone wants to know.. Does it run Crysis? Yes, it does, at max settings with no hiccups. Also, the hottest I have seen it get during a gaming session is 55*c! It also runs any other game I throw at it with no problems.
Cons: None so far.. and I don't see any coming in the near future! Now my processor is the one holding my system back!
Overall Review: If you are tired of running games at minimum settings, and have the money. Do it.
Bang for the buck!

Pros: Excellent quality TV for the price. Speakers sound pretty good for the size. I was a little hesitant to buy this TV at first, but after reading the reviews I decided to go for it. I have my PS3 setup using the HDMI cable and my Xbox 360 using the HDTV cable running in 1080i and it looks great.
Cons: The only con I suppose would be no tuner for cable. For the money I would hope it would be included.
Overall Review: There are a lot of options out there for TV's, but I would recommend this model to anyone in the market. Plus, New Egg's service and shipping is mindblowing. 4 days to ship from California over here to Okinawa, Japan! Amazing!
Money well spent!

Pros: Brought my idle temp on my GIGABYTE 7600GS 512mb passive cooled card from 54*C to 42*C, and my load temps were hovering around 65-70, now they are down to 50-55*c.
Cons: Couldnt use all the ram heat sinks because of the cards layout, and the new wire from the fan is sorta hide from a management point of view.
Overall Review: Simple to install if you have done anything inside the case. Good results for the money I'd say!
Worth the hype.

Pros: Does what it is supposed to. A little goes a long way, you'll be able to keep this little puppy around without using it all.
Cons: It was hard to find in the huge box! ;)
From 65*+ to 34*c

Pros: Does what it says, cools the CPU, and cools it well.
Cons: The push pins are very finicky and I ended up having to remove my PSU to get my hands down on one side to get them to properly seat.
Overall Review: Not a bad choice for the money.
