Fantastic Television

Panasonic VIERA 50" 720p 600Hz Plasma HDTV TC-P50X1
Panasonic VIERA 50" 720p 600Hz Plasma HDTV TC-P50X1

Pros: TV looks breathtaking. Easy to setup and scan for digital channels. Lots of inputs in the back. DVD's even look tremendous with an upscaling player.

Cons: Heavy.... but things get heavy when they are full of awesome.

Overall Review: Shipping was much faster than I anticipated. Estimated delivery was the 27th and it arrived on the 21st! I was not expecting that. This tv is a great value... sure it's only 720p but you really would have a hard time telling any difference with this set and a 1080p version. Take the 500 bucks you save and buy a nice home theatre audio system!

Game Disc Won't Work

Codemasters Gift

Pros: None

Cons: Wouldn't install... cyclic redundancy error.. tried it on other machine and had the same problem. The disc doesn't have a single scratch on it... defective.

Overall Review: Not newegg's fault, I just hope I can get another disc sent out ASAP

Great Card - Drivers are getting better

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING OC 8G Graphics Card, PCIe 4.0, 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6, GV-R57XTGAMING OC-8GD Video Card
GIGABYTE Radeon RX 5700 XT GAMING OC 8G Graphics Card, PCIe 4.0, 8GB 256-Bit GDDR6, GV-R57XTGAMING OC-8GD Video Card

Pros: Fan noise is very quiet, and temps.

Cons: Drivers were very rough at launch. Shroud feels like cheap plastic, but you won't care much about that once it's in your case. Overall it works well though

Overall Review: When I first got this card the state of the drivers were terrible. Gaming performance was fine, but outside of gaming, any website with embedded video would cause my entire system to BSOD at least once every few hours. A few driver updates later and I havent crashed a single time for over a week. Card temps stay relatively cool.. I think it might hit high 70's with the default fan curve, and I can't hear it spin up any louder than my case fans. Overall this is a fantastic upgrade over my Vega 56 blower card and I would highly recommend it!

Super Fast, Quiet and Powerful card!

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support ATX Video Card GV-N1070G1 GAMING-8GD R2
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support ATX Video Card GV-N1070G1 GAMING-8GD R2

Pros: Overclocks above 2ghz effortlessly. Fans don't start spinning up until around 50c and even when they do it's very quiet. Shreds every game i've played on it at 1440p.

Cons: Card is long so make sure you have the case space for it. Shroud is plastic vs metal on some of my previous cards, but I guess that's not a big deal in the long run.

Overall A Good Experience

Pros: Great featureset for the price. Has many bells and whistles for less than other more well known or trusted brands. Has everything I was looking for in a motherboard, so I figured i'd take a chance on the Asrock. I'm glad I did.

Cons: Originally I couldn't get this board to post... I had to clear out the CMOS using the reset button on the motherboard. This was my first time turning it on so it wasn't a setting I messed up or anything. Never had a board that needed a cmos reset at the jump, but i'm glad it was something easy that fixed it. Been running now for 2 weeks and no problems at all besides that.
