Pros: this thing is great... playing gta4 on this guy and it looks awsome.. (even without the hdmi cords) i plan to have some soon though.. watching tv is awsome too.. i have this guy hooked up to my cable.. (no box) just basic channels and im even picking up about 20 or so HD channels on the side... plus SD (havent figured that out yet but SD channels are kinda fuzzy) but i dont even know what SD means... either way on top of the 74 channels i normally get .... i also received some HD versions of the channels and some other versions im unclear of what they are...

Cons: i wish the tuner was a lil more sophisticated ... if you punch in channel 12 .. it gives u channel 12 but what if u wanted the HD channel 12.. u have to search for it channel by channel... (maybe i just dont fully understand it though) so im not going to take a egg off ... this thing exceeded what i expected it to do...

Overall Review: Great for games and movies... o and no pixels missing or anything like that... runs best at its highest resolution !!! :D

Pros: The game has a great feel to it.. i mean who doesn't want to drive a tank down the road and shoot opposing factions... the story isn't too bad.. In some ways the game is pretty awesome... I i never really played the original..

Cons: Alright it has glitches... Clearly unfinished... The pc version no longer has multiplayer support... meaning no multiplayer servers... meaning no multiplayer at all... but what hurt me is when i played for hours... and got stuck in a rock some how... lost all my progress due to not saving the game.... you would think i could just kill myself and respawn ... but for some reason the grenades did not work inside the rock... anyways like i said it has its ups and downs... oh yeah the AI is pretty dumb.. 1 second you get shot in the head the next they do not even see you coming...

Overall Review: for 10 bucks... if you just want to blow stuff up.. including buildings... its not bad.... the graphics are definatly not gta quality... meaning you wreck a car.. its just gonna blow up maybe turn black.. but for the most part stay in its original form... the plot to the game... well its hard to find the main story line... some of the hidden packages glitch out... 1 second you have 70/100 the next you got 60/100... sometimes you might even pick up the same hidden package twice....

Pros: this card is great... runs GTA4 at medium to high settings (would be highest but gta4 is a poorly coded game) any other game runs at highest settings (cod4 modern warfare) workin on gettin some more games to test it out... one thing that really caught my eye... my computer came with a ATI overdrive program that makes overclocking your video card EASY... but i only recommend if you have a liquid cooling computer (which i dont .. yet)

Cons: its not the greatest ...

Overall Review: had the card in my prebuilt pc from newegg for about a week now... i plan to upgrade in the near future... but for now this guy is great.. whoever told you the 5000 series sucks .... show em this card and they shall think twice...

Pros: This thing is great... playing Gta4 which is a highly coded game at medium/high settings.. the computer is fast .. instantly connecting to the internet .. (facebook/myspace) is a breeze.. i plan to buy more games and see what this thing can really do... ive got bfvietnam at highest settings.. but that isnt much of a accomplishment... this is my second computer from newegg... my first one i built peice by peice in 2004 .. soo this is quite a upgrade... still gettin used to windows 7... plenty of harddrive space... it actually came with the xfx card which surprised me ... i expected a sapphire.. (since im pretty sure thats whats in the picture) but actually preffered the xfx .... my windows 7 key was valid... (first time i typed it wrong and got scared) but then relieved to find out i just typed it wrong... Hey it came with a lil asus sticker and amd athlon sticker!! So far this thing rocks

Cons: This thing is big... i have a spot for computers on my desk and it barely fits... i dunno im used to the smaller mid towers.. this thing is much longer than my lil guy... i did have it shut down on me once (this is why im taking a egg) after it was in sleep mode i woke it up and i guess it didnt like it... i had to flip the switch on the back off then on ... and then hit the power .. but ive only had this bad boy for 2 days... it pushes cold air until u really get into a game for about 30 mins.. then its a lil warm... o yeah it also shut down in the middle of gta4 ... im wonderin if the power supply is possibly the issue.. but i really dont want to return it to new egg .. maybe just replace it myself..

Overall Review: im not sure about the cd rom... it seems slow but i could be mistaken.. if your lookin for a cheap gaming pc this is it... i think its well worth the money.. like i said i only take a egg off due to the power issues im having ... but i bet its very few of us having this problem... you could easily upgrade the power supply and video card .. make this thing really pump out some graphics.... fair warning theres only 2 slots for ram... and their already filled with over clocked 2 gig sticks... i think ..at least thats what the box says.. overclocked at 1800

Pros: First off .. it has great new capabilities that are not available in alot of free roam games.. upgrading your mens gear.. improving their abilities.. and every mans different abilities are a important part in completing missions..

Cons: sadly the game has no desirable graphics... aka dull... and driving a car may have been like that in the old days but sheesh.. it seems a lil lacking in driving and graphics... another con yes it is repedative... unlike gta4 where the world is giant and endless exploring.. this world is puny...

Overall Review: they could have held back another year and worked on the graphics... i think their just sad
