Q9550 simply best performace/per $

Pros: Easily overclocked, I was lucky enough to get an E0 stepping, and was able to get this easily @ 3.4GHZ with very little effort, stays cool, but that's thanks to a great mobo as well. Price for the performance cant be beat, why spend more on the Xtreme versions or the Q9650 when this really is all you need, and save youself 200-600 dollars in the process. I used to be an AMD guy, for years, now I'm sold that Intel has pushed ahead. I am very pleased.
Cons: None

Great game

Pros: Super game, great gameplay, great action, fairly easy controls, and just a great concept... Best thing... $10!!! Its almost a steal...
Cons: None
Overall Review: Get it, you wont regret it.
Great Game with Friends & Family

Pros: Great fun, great questions, downloadable content on PS3, and very entertaining. Great way to spend some times with friends and family, have a few laughs and flex the ole brain power. The solo mode is even fun, but its much better with others. The characters are all fun to play with, the questions range from easy to hard, and is a nice mix of the difficulty. Overall I am glad I made this purchase.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: Tons of great content online, so if you have mastered the original content, you can always grab more online... so far I think there are 7 expansion packs avail... with around 500 new questions in each expansion...
Fantastic Display

Pros: Great size, Great price, Great Company and product. Display is crisp and clean, no dead pixels on this unit. Easily put together in seconds, menu is intuitive, at least to me it was. The stand is not as flimsy as others say it is, if you have a solid desk you should be fine, though if you have your keyboard within a foot of the monitor on the same surface then you will see a slight wobble to the monitor. The DVI cable was plenty long enough, Im not sure how much longer you need, but one review said a con was the DVI cable was too short. After the MIR, $200 for a solid monitor with GREAT gaming performance, thanks to the 2ms response time, I play Warhammer, and WoW along with photo editing on this monitor and everything is super clean, and fresh, no ghosting. Just Awesome. Way higher then I expected.
Cons: None.

Great Mobo

Pros: Just a fantastic Asus board, I am very pleased with it. Easily installed, and Posted fine on the first try. Plenty of OC options, all kinds of bells and whistles on this. With the chance to upgrade in the future if you needed. This Mobo will last you a while, so its a good investment. Never cheap out on the Mobo, its the one thing you should put your money into. Nice Backlight LED panel in the back where you plug in all your gadgets into the Mobo. Very nice touch. CMOS reset is also back there, very handy, had to use it once already, Vista Ult. SP1 messed with my Bios settings, had to reset to get them back to what they are... all is well again. Of course if you do not plan to OC, then this mobo might not be for you, this is really for folks who at least WANT the option to OC in the future if they do not do it immediately. If you are not going to OC, then save youself some money and go with the Asus Rampage Formula.
Cons: Price perhaps, but gotta pay the piper sometimes, but you are paying for the options and the upgrades. No loss there.

Great Deal DVD/Burner

Pros: Great deal on a great product. I'd just have to say Im very pleased with this item, its quiet, sleek looking and for the $$, fantastic.
Cons: Didn't come with any cables, software etc, but I knew that coming in, since its OEM. But its random, since other OEM items I have gotten from Samsung have come with at least 1 cable. Oh well.
