APEX SK-393-C Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
APEX SK-393-C Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Very good budget case looks good, nothing super fancy though Enough spots for fans to make a good airflow a lot of space inside more than enough hard drive bays. 4 USBs!!!

Cons: -came with only 6 stand-offs for motherboard, but luckily the MB I was installing had only 6 screw holes. -some sharp edges. -yes you need a screwdriver to open it, but if you work with computers and don't have a screwdriver - you shouldn't work with computers.

Overall Review: i think it's the best case in low-price segment. looks professional, lot's of space.

WD WD Green WDBAAY5000ENC-NRSN 500GB SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Retail Kit

Pros: 2 of them in my PC worked for 2 years flawlesly!!!

Overall Review: they were cheaper 2 years ago

Acer G205HVbd Black 20" 5ms  Widescreen LCD Monitor 200 cd/m2 ACM 5,000:1 (700:1)
Acer G205HVbd Black 20" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 200 cd/m2 ACM 5,000:1 (700:1)

Pros: Does everything you'd expect from this monitor. I got it on sale and it's a great monitor for under $100. Has both VGA and DVI

Cons: compared to my other Acer monitor the contrast is not as good. During start up black color on the screen is noticeably lighter with this monitor.

Overall Review: If you see it go on sale - get it!

KGuard OT801-4CW134M-500G 8 Channel H.264 Level Surveillance DVR Kit
KGuard OT801-4CW134M-500G 8 Channel H.264 Level Surveillance DVR Kit

Pros: Decent quality, good price when on sale, relatively easy to set up and use. Mobile interface is pretty easy to set up if you know what you are doing. Supports up to 8 cameras

Cons: Web interface playback function would crash the browser. Also it would allow me to get on even when I left password field blank. If you want your camera over 50 feet away you'd need a cable with BNC connectors and a power cable of the length you need.

Overall Review: Instructions are on a small CD included, not in paper form. Cameras do not record sound, even though the DVR is capable of it. You would need a separate microphone.

Acer Aspire 17.3" Intel Pentium B950 4GB Memory Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit NX.M31AA.001
Acer Aspire 17.3" Intel Pentium B950 4GB Memory Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit NX.M31AA.001

Pros: Battery life is good - with brightness all the way down, sound and WiFi off, it will definately last over 4 hours. With more normal use it should last at least 2 hours. Screen has decent angle of view, of course not IBM ThinkPad quality, but with price of $399 it is expected.

Cons: see other review
