Most Critical Review

Worked for a month

CHIMEI 16" LCD Monitor 8 ms D-Sub CMV 633A

Pros: $99 and free shipping

Cons: Oddball resolution. Worked for less than a month. by the time figured out it was bad it was too late to get it replaced/refunded through newegg. Bought as a replacement for my mother who lives 1300 miles from me so troubleshooting isn't easy.

Overall Review: Teach me to buy and unheard of brand.

Works fine

Pros: Good price, upgraded from my GT430.. No problems with my 28-inch HD monitor.

Cons: Got lost for 4 days in OK from train derailment.

Overall Review: Tom B. If you had 3 of these fail in a week, you might want to look at the rest of your system, especially the P.S.

Great cpu

AMD FX-8150 - FX-Series Zambezi 8-Core 3.6 GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Desktop Processor - FD8150FRGUBOX

Pros: Got it OC'd to 4GHz and I'm running 3 different folding@home clients on this, browsing the web, listening to music, converting video to DVD and burning it at the same time and it's only using 25% cpu cycles. On air cooling it's running at 35°C while doing all this.

Cons: Wish it was cheaper.

Great budget RAM
