Pros: The thinnest border is the sole reason I bought this over any other monitor. And in a dual monitor application this is a must. These monitors look awsome, and are amoung the nicest look in terms of cosmetics & style. Dell Ultrasharp's and certain HP monitors are the only ones to factory calibrate their consumer grade units. One major thing I look for is a monitor without a power brick, these take typical PC power cords which is a must for keeping your cords / desk space organized. Factory monitor stand is amazing, and fully adjustable to a wide range of desk configurations.

Cons: 24" IPS panels are still not as good as a 19-22" panel for reproducing a consistent backlight. One of these monitors has a darker lower right corner, and they still require some significant calibration from your video driver software. One had a greenish tint to the greys and had to be reduced slightly. In dark rooms these are very bright, but in lighter areas they could use more brightness. Dell should also consider offering this in a gloss panel, and also adding a borderless 1920x1200 resolution panel as well. These only have HDMI, and DISPLAYPORT, there is no VGA, or DVI connections on the back, so older computers are not compatible without adapters. The dual monitor stand that Dell sells as the MDS14 is not very good when combined with these monitors. Unless the base of the stand is place sideways, you cannot get enough angle out of the right monitor.

Overall Review: Skip the MDS14 dual monitor stand with this model of LCD, and use the factory base stands. They offer much more adjustments. Also fully calibrate each panel with your video card software or other software and then tweak the menus to where they look identical. The factory cannot account for minor signal variations from pc to pc, or different brand / length cables.

Pros: Unit looks attractive and well built. Provides adequate gigabit speeds. Very good price.

Cons: Mine has an intermittent port #4 out of the box. Only work at 100 MBPS while other ports with at 1GBPS. Cost to ship back to RMA is not worth the cost to just try another. So essentially it is a 7 port switch. All products can be faulty, even the best, but the manufacture should offer a shipping return tag.

Pros: The comsmetic appearance is very attractive, actually over the top. All the filters that are provided are of great quality. The plastic brushed aluminum-like front panel is very high quality. You will never notice it is not real aluminum. The factory fans are near silent, and the cable managment inside the case is above average.

Cons: My #1 complaint would be that Fractal Design does not sell replacement filters. SHAME SHAME. Had to reduce an egg for that. The nice front grille can only be bent and unbent to change the filter about 3-5 times before the tabs break off. Also my motherboard did not line up with the backplate as well as other cases.

Overall Review: If you need to get the maximum life out of the filters, you will NOT wash them, rather blow them out with 90-125PSI compressed air in the opposite direction. Xeon E3-1245V3 Z87-Pro 32GB Kingston KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G Crucial M500 240GB Antec HCG-620m

Pros: Overall a great drive, runs cool, basically plug & play. Price at the time was great, and even better now.

Cons: Needed to upgrade firmware from U03 to U05 as the stock must have been older. Even with the new firmware the power on hours are inaccurate.

Overall Review: Overall I like to pick SSD's that are a little older (6-8 months) as to keep the bugs to a minimum. This drive delivered a trouble free configuration and shows a great track record.

Pros: Great price point, very quite, cool, great cosmetics. Power efficiency is quite good.

Cons: None as of yet.

Overall Review: Per research on the internet it is made by Seasonic which makes very high end power supplys. I went with a little more power than I need so I can add one graphics card at a later date. If you plan to run 2 or 3 graphics cards you will need more power. Fractal Design Arch MIDI R2 Z87-Pro Xeon E3-1245V3 32GB Kingston KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G Crucial M500 240GB

Pros: Runs stable, cool, and Kingston has great product support.

Cons: Timings are not optimal for the price point, and when you run 1600 the timings are worse. 1333 with better timings gives me a better benchmark result than at 1600 with relaxed timings. The good news is you will really never *feel* this difference.

Overall Review: Would have liked a better price, however I have always had great reliablilty with Kingston in all my systems. I also needed a lot of ram 32GB for a few VM;s I run. Xeon E3-1245V3 Z87-Pro
