Pros: Clean and well-built laptop. Very nice scissor keys on the keyboard, touchpad is high quality too. Powerful enough for the vast majority of tasks. I used this model at work for years and it's always been reliable.

Cons: Came with a Hitachi hard drive. Battery was DOA (wouldn't take a charge), but US Micro customer service was great.

Overall Review: I emailed US Micro about the DOA battery and they got back to me as soon as customer service hours started again. They sent a new battery right away, and I got it in two business days. I'd have no problem buying another refurb from them.

Pros: Good quality metal HDD brackets, tasteful design, included fan controller is a nice bonus. Grommets for everything eliminate vibration noises. Fan installation is fast and easy, no self-tapping screws to fuss with. Sound insulation everywhere keeps the case fairly quiet. Nice quality power button, reset button is hidden and difficult to press accidentally.

Cons: Runs hot with default fan configuration (temps went up 5C from my p183). I put two better fans in front, temps are still +3C. Tabs on the side panels are flimsy and tend to bend, which makes fitment difficult. Grommets are cheap and fall out all the time. Matte finish absorbs oils, creates spots from handling. Metal is flimsy, tightening screws past hand tight on the psu mount point or PCI port covers will break paint. Plastic doors over the front fans take some finesse to open. Not much room behind the mobo tray for cable routing, and with the cheap grommets I recommend a fully modular PSU for this case.

Overall Review: I bought this case for my media PC, and it's not bad for that application. The more I work in this case, the less I like it. I'm not going to replace it, but if I had to do it over again I would have purchased a competing product. There are better cases in this price range, and -much- better cases for only a little bit more money.

Pros: Very durable, acceptable write speed, fast and friendly customer support.

Cons: It's a bit oversized, as others have noted. Be careful not to lose the cap!

Overall Review: The only time I've had one of these break was when they were plugged in and the flash drive got hit by something. I once lost it, and it sat outside in the rain for a few days in the driveway, where I ran over it with my car a couple times. Plugged it back in and it still worked. I buy Flash Voyagers because they can take the abuse I put them through.

Pros: Very nice highs and lows, next to no distortion, very crisp and clear sound. Firm-fitting gold plated connector. Cord is nice and short, so no mess! Comes with a handy case too.

Cons: Bass might be a bit much for some. Sticking a 6Hz sound wave directly into your ear is kinda weird at first. Sony has a weird habit of making earbud cords of different lengths for each ear, which makes wrapping the cords awkward.

Overall Review: You might want to get an Audigy 2 or X-Fi sound card to take full advantage of these headphones on your computer. I'm going to get a PCMCIA Audigy 2 for that reason.

Pros: This keyboard has an absolutely quality build. It's nice and heavy (probably3-4lbs), and the keys provide enough resistance that you don't accidentally insert letters when typing quickly. I love the blue LEDs. Thing thing is rock solid -- you could hit it with a truck and now break it. Having a USB1 port and audio/mic on it is really convenient too. Looks amazing in person, much better than in the pics! Very satisfied.

Cons: It's not very portable due to its weight. Extended typing can be a workout. May classify as a deadly weapon.

Overall Review: Seriously, don't hit anyone with this thing. You'll kill them.

Pros: Clock speeds are very fast, and it runs cool with the stock heatsink and proper ventilation. This card tears up anything you can throw at it -- it's seriously overkill for gaming. eVGA also added HDCP compliance!

Cons: The 7900GT and 7900GTX cards are notorious for failure, and this is no exception. There have been all kinds of issues with these things, including mine -- the Deep Freeze test on 3DMark 06 artifacted, then resulted in a blinking screen and crashed desktop. Luckily, eVGA has the best customer service ever and a great warranty that even covers overclocking and heatsink replacements indefinitely. If it breaks, you'll be in good hands.

Overall Review: The price difference between this and the 7950GX2 is pretty small, and if you're dropping this much cash for a video card the extra few dollars isn't going to matter too much. The 7950's are also more reliable, it seems, and you should certainly look into those. If you buy a faulty 7900GTX, you can also submit it for a Step-Up RMA within 90 days, where eVGA will let you trade in your card and offer you full credit for your old card's purchase price. That means you can step up to a reliable chipset instead of going through six RMAs.
