Phenom Done Right

AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition - Phenom X4 Quad-Core 2.5 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HD985ZXAGHBOX
AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition - Phenom X4 Quad-Core 2.5 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HD985ZXAGHBOX

Pros: These B3 releases of the phenoms are amazing compared to the B2, i was able to get this phenom clocked up to 3.2 ghz on stock voltage and on air! They can also easily hit around 3.4-3.5 ghz on water cooling. my 3dmark06 score is around 4600 with this chip, AWESOME for AMD! Great buy if you have an am2+ board.

Cons: none

Overall Review: by the way these 65nm B3s are clocking... i cant wait for the 45nm's later on this year. good job AMD

Most Critical Review

Stuck Pixels

ASUS 23.6" FHD LCD Monitor 1ms (GTG) D-Sub, HDMI VN247H-P
ASUS 23.6" FHD LCD Monitor 1ms (GTG) D-Sub, HDMI VN247H-P

Pros: It is a very good monitor that i purchassed so that i could run just an HDMI cable to the monitor and then output the audio channel from the hdmi (via the headphone port) to my stereo speakers.. which works VERY well! I am able to have a monitor/speaker and wireless keyboard and mouse in another room than my actual computer by just running one ethernet cable (HDMI over Ethernet extension)

Cons: I recieved this refurbished monitor with a stuck pixel in the upper left middle of the screen... and it is bright red which stands out terribly as opposed to a black "dead" pixel...

Overall Review: QC on these refurbs really needs to be upped... and i HATE to process of doing RMAs... it is such a hassle when the product should have been working from the beginning. =/

Good Keyboard

RAZER Black USB Wired Lycosa Mirror Special Edition Gaming Keyboard
RAZER Black USB Wired Lycosa Mirror Special Edition Gaming Keyboard

Pros: Great looking and feeling keyboard... the light ONLY lights up the letters on the buttons and not behind them, which is great.

Cons: After about 3 weeks my down arrow broke on the keyboard... and whenever you press it it comes out.. the clips that held it in broke somehow... same happened with my backspace =/ really disappointing

Overall Review: i think razer will replace the keyboard if i send it in.. i called them about it... but then i wont have a keyboard for a week or so. =/

HOT!

GMC R-3 Corona AZT-GMCR3-HP Hot Pink Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
GMC R-3 Corona AZT-GMCR3-HP Hot Pink Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Amazing color, unique cd drive system, small, cute, plenty of room for a full ATX motherboard,

Cons: The blue circular light in the front gets old and it didn't match my color.

Overall Review: I prefer the glossy black finish on the front without the blue light...I disconnected the light. Simple fix. I was able to perfectly fit a Sunbeam CR-CCTF 120 mm heatsink/fan after removing the air funnel. Tight fit, but perfect.

nice psu
