Can't go wrong with Asus

ASUS VH236H Black 23" Full HD Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ Speakers 300 cd/m2 20000 :1 (ASCR)
ASUS VH236H Black 23" Full HD Widescreen LCD Monitor w/ Speakers 300 cd/m2 20000 :1 (ASCR)

Pros: Wonderful wonderful monitor. VGA/DVI/HDMI, perfect for everyone. 2ms response doesn't get any better. This monitor is just all around awesome. Careful not to stare at it too long..I've lost a few hours of my day playing games for what seemed like 5 minutes. This is exactly what you want. I have it paired with a Sapphire Radeon 4890 through HDMI and it is just flat out insane. If you're a gamer and you have HDMI as an option, BUY THIS. I've even hooked this up to my cable box..doubles as a TV and has built-in speakers. Although I can't find a volume option, the original setting is perfect. Maybe I just haven't looked well enough.

Cons: What cons?

Overall Review: Never had an ASUS anything..but I'll always buy my monitors from ASUS. Would give it 6 eggs if possible. For those of you with the 1 inch problem around your screen on HDMI..please understand technical terminology before you insult a product. ATI users: Download Catalyst Control Center and look for the DPI scaling option. You can get rid of that 1 inch problem with the click of a mouse button. Although, I think the 1 inch around it actually looks kinda cool. It seems to be scaled a lot better that way. NVIDIA users: Probably the same concept with the NVIDIA Control Panel. I just don't know the actual setting name.

Nice and bright..but..

LOGISYS Computer CLK15BL 15" Blue Deluxe Sound Activated Cold Cathode Light Kit
LOGISYS Computer CLK15BL 15" Blue Deluxe Sound Activated Cold Cathode Light Kit

Pros: I have an Xclio Windtunnel case with a bunch of blue lights and I decided to add this one to my collection. The sound activation is great.

Cons: Well..it WAS great. It quit working entirely after the first song I played to test it. Not sure what happened. On any sensitivity, I had no blinking..not even if I clapped my hands right beside it. Newegg is sending me a replacement free of charge, which is great!

Overall Review: Best phone support I've ever had to use. Less than 10 minutes including wait times and I have a replacement on the way at no cost to me. Thanks a lot, Newegg!

Beast!

Intel Core i7 10th Gen - Core i7-10700K Comet Lake 8-Core 3.8 GHz LGA 1200 125W Desktop Processor w/ Intel UHD Graphics 630
Intel Core i7 10th Gen - Core i7-10700K Comet Lake 8-Core 3.8 GHz LGA 1200 125W Desktop Processor w/ Intel UHD Graphics 630

Pros: She's faaaaaaassssstt. Very fast. Uses same mounting for coolers as LGA1151 so I didn't have to buy a new water cooler which is a plus. I would not recommend air cooling this unless you have a great case for air cooling and a good air cooler.

Cons: Pricey but..

Overall Review: Ignore the people telling you to get the new Ryzen. Intel still outshines AMD in gaming performance, although it is much closer. PCI-e 4.0 is estimated to be a 1% performance difference. Whereas I think it's stupid that Intel didn't include that in these processors, it doesn't even matter in the real world. Stick with Intel.

Meh, it was pretty good

EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER KO GAMING Video Card, 08G-P4-2072-KR, 8GB GDDR6, Dual Fans

Pros: Ran WoW and Rocket League like a champ, obviously.

Cons: Loaded up the new Flight Sim and it almost caught on fire and shut my PC off. Same thing happens with Warzone. Had to return it.

Overall Review: Got a dud. Maybe next time.

RAZER Abyssus RZ01-00360100-R3U1 Wired Optical High Precision Gaming Mouse - Black
RAZER Abyssus RZ01-00360100-R3U1 Wired Optical High Precision Gaming Mouse - Black

Pros: Wow, even the packaging is amazing. I'll be honest, I never considered buying a Razer mouse, but the blue LED fit my setup so I gave it a shot. I'm not much of an ergonomic mouse kinda guy, so this is absolutely perfect. On the fly DPI adjustment, no software needed. Razer did this one right. I was a little scared to buy the cheapest mouse they offer, but it's WELL worth the money.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Hope to have this one for awhile.

Nice card, but broke

XFX Radeon HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-489X-ZSFC
XFX Radeon HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card HD-489X-ZSFC

Pros: First of all, I had the Sapphire version. When the card worked, it worked GREAT. It was my first high end video card and I was extremely happy. Playing most games at 1920x1080 in full HD and Crysis at 1440x900 on High-ISH settings. Not a card flaw, my CPU just bottlenecks my machine.

Cons: Gets VERY hot. Not quite as hot as the new Fermi cards, but still hot. Not sure exactly what happened to my card, but I read it at 76 degrees celsius when it was shutting off my computer. I decided to go ahead and send it back. Newegg was not able to send me another card, due to supply problems. However, they were able to process me a FULL REFUND of the original purchase price which took a little over a week to complete. Thanks Newegg!

Overall Review: It's a nice card, but not sure if it can take the heat. Granted, my case (XClio WindTunnel) has very good air cooling... it just didn't appear to be enough... or I just had a faulty card. For the price, it was awesome. I was happy with it.
