Good value Board, so SATA RAID
Pros: It's intel, the price is right, it can handle some awesome memory
Cons: no SATA RAID support. I had to buy an extra card.
Overall Review: Can't go wrong here, it's probably the best value mobo out there, but be careful if you want to fire up 2 WD Raptors, as I did
Nice monitor
Pros: This is a great monitor for the price. If you are a gamer you might want to get some uber monitor out there but for everyone else the quality and ease of use are phenomenal.
Cons: Not for hardcore gamers
Needs proprietary drivers
Pros: Awesome performance for a low price
Cons: You have to go to evga's site to get the drivers for this card. They don't offer drivers for Windows Vista, so you are out of luck if you joined the beta.
Overall Review: A good card, but they could do better.
Awesome
Pros: Fast as they come, good company, can be configured as SATA RAID for amazing performance. HDD are the bottlenecks of todays computers, so if you are going to drop some ca$h spend it on the HDD
Cons: OEM version doesn't come with cables, so make sure you have some handy. Many MoBo's come with SATA cables, but beware.
Overall Review: I'm in the computer business, and I'm sure these are the best drives for gaming on the market
Behemoth
Pros: This thing is a monster. If you don't care about size then buy this case now. It will have all the airflow and space you need to build a great rig.
Cons: What's up with those flaps on the front side? They seem to be useless.
Overall Review: Thermaltake is a good company
Great value for the buck
Pros: This isn't the biggest LCD screen ever, but it has HDMI for watching DVD's which is absolutely amazing. It has HDTV as well, and has fantastic resolution at all levels.
Cons: Controls are terrible, HD channels are presented with bars in widescreen. Controls could be better designed, but considering all TV's these days seem to have poor controls, this isn't worth making points off for.
