Pros: Good-quality receiver at a great price. The audio quality is very good; FLAC and other lossless formats are crystal clear, as they should be. No annoying "hiss" during idle, for analog and digital inputs. It's possible to set initial power-on volume levels (extremely important if you're running a sensitive speaker system or headphones), auto-off timers... but that's about it.

Cons: The menus are a little anemic (equalization is useless, but then, why are you using EQ on the receiver-end?)... not as much granular control over which audio signal gets associated with which HDMI port. The instruction manual is on a CD/ROM -- if you want to save paper, just provide an online link.

Overall Review: This is a fantastic receiver for the price, and provides an excellent 5.1 surround experience with great audio quality on all channels. It allows HDMI switching & back-control, has decent granularity on menus, and gives enough features to be up-to-spec with most DVD and digital audio systems. A smart buy for any home theater, not just a budget system.

Pros: Mixed mode works fine, intra-network communication works fine, holds connection well (no dropouts), decent range (~30 yards, 3+ walls).

Cons: This router does NOT support loopback traffic, nor does it work as advertised for managing outside traffic redirection. That is, if you are running a server and want to see what your website looks like from the outside, you CANNOT do this from inside your network. This makes it a highly inappropriate router for anyone running a server or wanting to use the Virtual Server / Port Forwarding functions. Also, the firmware only supports granular changes; you can't "apply all", it forces you to wait 15-20 seconds after every setting change to apply the update. VERY SHODDY FIRMWARE; even in version 3+, crippling bugs abound.

Overall Review: My old D-link router outperforms this one in almost every way, except for speed. Virtual Server function works only for people looking at your network from the outside-in. The discounted price and marginal speed increase do NOT offset the headaches that any IT professional -will- have with this router. If you're savvy, spend the extra money and get a router with working firmware and decent functionality. Will see if NewEgg can refund; does not work as advertised.

Pros: This case has a lot going for it. Good solid construction is present throughout: rubber grommets for cable management, good alignment of the mobo standoff screws to the external ports / slots, and plenty of inlet & outlet vents for good airflow. There is an internal fan mount behind the hard drive bays, the top of which comes right to the second PCI slot (usually where the first PCI-E card is on most ATX motherboards). This means you can point a fan directly at your graphics card(s) for a better cooling loop. I can comfortably fit two 3-fan extended GTX 770 cards and still have clearance for the internal case fan. My cards haven't gone above 55 C under load. Finally, speaking of fans, pretty much everything is filtered. The top, front, and bottom two (yep!) inlet fan mounts all have dust covers or filters. The attention to airflow in the design of this case is excellent.

Cons: There are a few nitpicks that I'm not wild about. First, there's an external fan speed controller, which is sort of a weird "feature" to have. I'd like it much better if they included a fan controller splitter/circuit for one of the motherboard fan connectors (which would be powered by the 12V rails, but controlled by the motherboard pins). Also, the vent placement in the side panels can pretty much defeat the purpose of the front intake fans, so you may get better results closing them off somehow and directing airflow into the main part of the case. Also, there's no option to screw-mount hard drives. I honestly don't know why case manufacturers require the use of their proprietary quick-mount bays. I like my drives mounted and grounded securely, and the quick-mount bays in this case have a fair bit of play in them.

Overall Review: At the typical sale price (50-60), it's a great deal. Very spacious, plenty of options for cooling and support for a wide variety of fan sizes, and quality construction throughout. Probably the most bang for the buck I've ever gotten from a computer case.

Pros: After a week of use, this is absolutely the happiest I've been with a graphics card purchase. The card itself is well-built and feels sturdy. It's longer than it is deep, which is a very good thing since I've got a 120mm side-fan dedicated for GPU venting -- plenty of clearance inside the case. The 3 cooling fans are rated at 450 watts, but the card itself hasn't asked for more than 230; this means it stays VERY cool, even under load. I ran Titanfall at max settings for an extended session, and the GPU temp never broke 45c... that's absolutely marvelous. If all of that wasn't enough, it's a very quiet card as well. The stereotypical "whine" of high-RPM fans is not present here; instead, the 3 fans sound more like a dull "woosh"ing noise rather than a jet turbine. All in all, a fantastic video card. The 4GB version is a nice bump from the 2GB version in a similar price band. If you can afford the incremental jump in price, get the 4GB card and future-proof your rig.

Cons: It's a long card -- this is a con only if you're trading length for depth. I had plenty of room in my full tower for the SSD, HDD, bay mounts, and this card fit just fine. Because it's so long, there is a fair bit of flex in the PCI connector. Luckily, there's a little eye-hole on the far end of the metal housing of the card -- I just zip-tied this to the case and it doesn't sag anymore.

Overall Review: Don't underrun the card on power. It's rated to 450W, and factoring in 125W for the CPU and 25W for the fans, you're pushing 600 just for base requirements. My 650W bronze psu handles it fine, but I haven't overclocked anything yet. YMMV.

Pros: + Great price + Very lightweight + Good brightness & contrast + USB port has enough juice to power a ChromeCast

Cons: - Stock colors look blown out, needed a lot of adjustment to get the color temp and balance right - Little or no functionality other than a monitor - No buttons

Overall Review: If you're just looking for a basic TV for a bedroom or gym space, this is a fantastic buy for the price. It's light, has a good viewing angle, and sips power. It comes with no bells, no whistles, and no physical buttons. There is a touch-sensitive power button on the lower-right corner of the front bezel, but everything else is done via the remote.

Pros: Large size, good clarity, very bright. As a refurb unit, the price is pretty unbeatable. I pushed 1080p through both HDMI ports and the D-sub port just fine. I had to run the monitor's auto-adjust twice to match the D-Sub output screen to the LCD's viewing area, but now it's 1:1.

Cons: The audio out is weak (the 8mm plug to "headphone" output). With the monitor at 100% volume, I still have to crank my receiver to get 'normal' listening levels. Secondly, there is an audible "buzz" when switching between inputs, or when auto-detecting sources. This buzz comes from the back of the monitor itself and not through the speakers; one of the relays, I'm guessing, is poorly-constructed. The analog input EDID required a reboot before my PC would recognize the native resolution. Again, the auto-adjust required a few tries before the monitor "found" the edges of the viewing area. It's a small gripe... but nobody likes to sit around calibrating pixel clocks for an hour, so if this feature ever dies on me I'd be unhappy.

Overall Review: The cons listed don't stop the screen from being exactly what I bought it for: a huge, multiple-input, HD screen as a second monitor for PC & console gaming. At the price, it's a great deal. If you need quality over quantity, keep an eye on the 23" and 24" monitors and wait for a bargain; the price-point (price vs. viewing area) on the 25-and-up line is typically higher.
