Wow awesome!

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N550OC-1GI
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-N550OC-1GI

Pros: Easy to install, very quiet, FAST!!

Cons: Fairly large. Fan guard on top of card requires extra 1/4" clearance; Drivers on CD was obsolete.

Overall Review: When I saw the size of this card and the fan, I thought oh no it is not gonna fit inside my Apevia micro HTPC case. The fan guard did not clear the MB tray opening. However, I decided to remove the power supply and install it from the inside, and it FITS! Upon cranking it up, it was FAST. I maxed out on all settings on HOMM6, and it played beautifully. Please note that you should download the drivers from the Nvidia site, and not use the CD it comes with. I am very happy with the card.

A Million Pieces

Sunbeam UV Blue Clear Acrylic ACHT-HUVB ATX Media Center / HTPC Case
Sunbeam UV Blue Clear Acrylic ACHT-HUVB ATX Media Center / HTPC Case

Pros: Very cool looking. High quality parts.

Cons: VERY DIFFICULT to assemble. Requires patience. Literally over 30 plastic pieces and hundreds of screws.

Overall Review: I tend to follow instructions pretty well. I built all of my computers and furnitures. But one look at the number of pieces, I put them right back into the box. I was not gonna spend hours on this...not when I'm this busy. I thought it was 6 pieces plus HD cage...didn't know I had to build that cage too. Dang!

Excellent

SAMSUNG SD300 Series S24D300H Black 24" 2ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD/LED Monitor, 250 cd/m2 DCR Mega Infinity (1000:1), D-Sub, HDMI

Pros: High resolution. HDMI. Wider than other monitors. More screen for movies and games.

Cons: No turning or rotating. Only front tilt. No height adjustment.

Overall Review: For the price this is by far the best monitor with high quality. Don't expect any crazy bells and whistles.

Fast Game

Deathsmiles Limited Edition Xbox 360 Game

Pros: Fast pace action shooter. Excellent graphics.

Cons: Very short game. Can finish in 30 minutes.

Overall Review: If you like a fast action shooter that is similar to Gradius or R-Type, then this game is for you. Keep in mind, this game is very short, but lots of fun.

Great Game!

Pros: Awesome characters. Excellent replay-ability

Cons: 2D graphics, and japanese voice-overs may not appeal to some audiences

Overall Review: If you enjoyed the MvC franchise over the years, this is the new updated version with MANY characters to choose from. It's really a fun game.

Improves Windows 7 score

CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CMX8GX3M2A1333C9
CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CMX8GX3M2A1333C9

Pros: Very fast...Improved my Windows 7 performance score!

Cons: None

Overall Review: I owned the G Skill 10666 2X2GB before. Then I upgraded to the Corsair. What a difference in performance! I went from a Windows 7 score of 5.9 memory speed to 7.0! Also, but doubling my RAM, I recovered 4Gb of drive space on my SSD! Very happy!
