Great Card!!!!

Pros: For a budget gaming card this is a great buy. Cant even hear the fan. Super quiet. Runs bioshock, dragon Age, dead space at full settings AA included. Crysis runs very high at 1600x1050 res without AA and with AA maxed out runs at 1280x1024. My monitor wont got higher than 1600 so i cant test it any higher but for what im playing it is awesome. HDMI out of the box makes everything look so good. MY Blu-rays look way better than before. Low power low heat and DDR5 makes this perfect if you do not want to upgrade your PSU
Cons: So far none other that having to mail in the rebate offer. I havnt gotten a response yet but wil see how that pans out. Wouldve been nice to get the instant rebate but oh well.
Overall Review: I recommend this card mainly for the price. Compared to a 9800gt the performance is less but still can out do the 9600gt with a little tweaking. But dollar for dollar it is a better buy than the 9800gt only cause your saving at least 40$ when you get the mail in rebate. and the low power consumption. OCing is limited to the pcie slot but you can get about a 20% increase blowing the 9600gt out of the water if you decide to do so. still coming in second t the 9800gt for the money i love this thing
Good mouse but misses clicks

Pros: Comfortable, Nice DPI feature. Great side trigger back button for web browsing. Very nice. Has a nice weight to it.3.2oz About 1 ounce more than my GE optical mouse i am replacing. Plug and play made this install flawless. I love the 1600 DPI it makes everything so much more prcise but not so much its over kill. In fact I could still see using a higher DPI When I buy my next mouse in the future. But on a 37 inch monitor a high D"PI is helping me a lot.
Cons: Ok first off this thing does miss clicks like the other post mentioned. Immediately out of the box its missing 1 click out of say every 10 or so. I have to remove 2 eggs for that. I am hoping it wont progress.
Overall Review: The DPI button MUST BE HELD DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS. ha I thought it didnt work either but you really need to hold it down and it will change DPI settings. Will cause the cursor to freeze after holding for a few seconds. that is when you know it changed and let off the button. As far as a mouse goes, for the money I suppose its ok. IF it didnt miss clicks id give it 5 eggs but to act up as soon as i plugged it in shows these are cheap mass produced with little quality control. If your poor and need a decent mouse this will do but if you want a good mouse pass on this. Its a shame because it is a nice mouse if that little tid bit didnt ruin it. I wont be sending it back just yet to see how it holds up. a click every once in a while isnt the end of the world but it is a reall annoyence when you need it for gaming. But if it gets worse ill RMA it.
great card on a budget

Pros: low power consumption and fast clock speeds along with the price makes for a real nice upgrade. I was using an old gt 240 and wanted to do a minor upgrade until i build a new system and this was a great choice. extrmely quite,compact and no need for a new psu are the key pointers with this card. i originally saw some random frame drops until i got the 314.22 drivers from nvidia and now it runs really good. i didnt buy this from newegg because i was too impatient to wait for shipping so i paid about $40 more for the convienence but was well worth it. playing tomb raider on ultra gives me about 10-18 fps which is to be expected with a card like this and a game with grafix that intense but with a slight tuning in the options I get amazing grafix and run an average of 30 fps with a high of 50. I highly recommend this card for anyone on a budget.
Cons: no cons so far as ive not had any issues with it since the driver upgrade
Overall Review: would have been nice to come with a few more cuda cores but still a great card for the money
Definitly a sick keyboard

Pros: Back light, Back light Back light is awesome. I only got it today and so far really like this thing. Its great for gaming because it is compact enough to reach all the keys but doesnt have chicklets for keys. they are slightly small than your standard size keys. A cross between a full size and a laptop. It types flawlessly and I went from a full size emachine keyboard to this and i didnt miss a beat. So far all around a killer keyboard for the money especially if you got the combo deal. Just feels great. Buttons are easy to push has a nice feel.
Cons: No volume control but new that when i bought it. Didnt say multimedia so i didnt expect it but wouldve been a nice addon. The lay out do to its smaller size cause some of the keys to be in different places such as page up and page down along with a few others but this is not really a con but more of an adjustment. Doesnt bother me one bit
Overall Review: I got the combo deal keyboard and mouse for less than 30 dollars and if it wasnt for the mouse being a bit cheap it would have been the perfect combo for me. So far i will say that im not gonna give up on irocks because off a little mouse issue but will definitely be more mindful of what products i by from them. Keyboard=Awesome...Lazer Mouse= Not so Awesome. But still a nice buy. I recommend this keyboard
Awesome!!

Pros: This thing is Awesome. Best deal Ive gotten yet.By far the coolest case Ive ever own. The modular design makes for a great custom build. Well built. Shipped great. Every thing works, all the parts included. Highly recommend this case.
Cons: Personally I dont have any that would remove an egg. I knew what I was buying and what I would be customizing.. I see that some were a little disappointed in cable management and how many vents it has especially leaving the mobo exposed. Too minor to remove an egg in my opinion. Sure the latches are plastic but seem well made and haven't noticed any issues. As far as lop sided HDD, Ive ran HDD upside down, sideways, you name it and never had any problems. I know its a non no to do this but i cant see any issues with the floating brackets to complain.
Overall Review: I knew when buying this I would be adding my own custom things to personalize it the way I want. One suggestion to anyone that wants to keep some of the vents from being exposed is the black foam air conditioner filters. very inexpensive and easy to work with thus keeping the same cool look without full exposure. Especially the mobo. Im not a fan of having it exposed so this foam will suffice. Besides there are many things one can use to cover the mesh plates you dont want exposed. All around a fantastic buy. Would do it all over again.
Grat netbook

Pros: Very attractive, easy to use, programs install and run fine. Was concerned about the memory and windows starter but so far running quickbooks which requires 2gb ram works fine.DDR3 makes up for having 1Gb RAM. So far network card is running fine well see if it holds up. For a business solution this thing is great. Not too much bloatware as i was expecting. Pretty easy to clean up. All features work fine including the camera. Faster than I expected. Surfs the net pretty fast. Does everything I need it to do and more. Shipping was great. Packaged very well.
Cons: Not so much a con as its the OS. I would like to change my background image. Yahoo and some other sites may tell you that your resolution isnt optimal. dont worry bout this, I didnt see anything different
Overall Review: Great little netbook. It is small but its exactly what I expected. ASUS has not let me down again. This is not a movie watching gaming computer so do not buy this if you plan on using it for anything more than school or business as you will be disappointed in performance.
