Wow!

MSI Radeon HD 5750 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card R5750-PM2D1G
MSI Radeon HD 5750 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card R5750-PM2D1G

Pros: Looks, Performance, Ease of installation, Lots of support and very flexible when playing around with settings

Cons: None

Overall Review: It's the cheapest of the new ATI 5XXX series, so for the price you can't complain. MSi gives you a nice little set of goodies including a free game (DiRT 2 for me), but overall the card runs great. No complaints at all. I'm able to run WoW at max settings and it runs great when raiding or pvping. I would definatly recommend this to anyone looking for a good performing card at a lower price.

Most Critical Review

Great basic board

BIOSTAR H61MU3 LGA 1155 Intel H61 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
BIOSTAR H61MU3 LGA 1155 Intel H61 HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Nice quality board with some decent features. Easy to install and ran great. Has a lot of nice features in the bios, including some overclocking tools.

Cons: No IDE connector which means I could not use older drives. Latch holding the processor down took some work.

Overall Review: A little too basic and doesn't support older hardware, but not a bad buy for someone looking for a basic board to support modern hardware.

Excellent Value!

Eluktronics Eluktro Pro-X G2 500GB PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe 1.3 Internal M.2 2280 3D NAND Solid State Drive (SSD) - TRO-500GB-PRO-X

Pros: FAST! Super easy to install. It just worked. Got it at a great sale price.

Cons: Shipping took a few days.

Overall Review: I purchased this as my primary boot drive for Windows 10 Professional, running on an ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F with an i7-8770k. Works perfectly!

Excellet Value

Acer K2 Series K272HUL 27" WQHD 2560 x 1440 2K Resolution 1ms 60Hz DVI-D HDMI DisplayPort Built-in Speakers Eco Friendly Design LED Backlit LCD Monitor
Acer K2 Series K272HUL 27" WQHD 2560 x 1440 2K Resolution 1ms 60Hz DVI-D HDMI DisplayPort Built-in Speakers Eco Friendly Design LED Backlit LCD Monitor

Pros: This monitor has a super thin bezel and is pretty lightweight. The display has HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort connections, with a normal power plug, so no weird specialty two-prong connectors, and no weird power bricks under your desk. VESA mounting was simple and there's nothing that would interfere with the holes. For one of the cheapest 1440p monitors available on Newegg, the image quality is great, even at awkward angles. Bonus: I was able to get 73Hz out of this using HDMI, or 75Hz using DisplayPort. I just created a custom resolution using the Radeon Settings utility.

Cons: The physical bezel is thin, but there's a 1/4" border around the entire perimeter of the screen. This is pretty common though and isn't really noticeable.

Overall Review: I got this for $179 after a coupon code. For the money, this thing is excellent and I wish I bought two more at the same time. The panel is insanely bright out of the box, so I ended up bringing the brightness down to 10 and disabling some of the built-in features to get a better picture. It runs great at 1440p 75Hz. I would highly recommend this to anyone on a budget who wants to get both a higher resolution and a higher refresh rate. It's super easy to get this thing to 75Hz, and at 1440p, it really does look great.

Great value!

Pros: Used this as the primary boot drive in my new mini-ITX desktop build. For the price I paid, it's excellent. I've used Kingston drives before and have never had an issue. Speed is great and my boot times are well under ten seconds.

Cons: None

I love this thing.

ADATA 16GB UV128 USB 3.2 Gen 1 Flash Drive (AUV128-16G-RBE)

Pros: Great value. Used it to install Windows 7 on my new PC, since the case doesn't have room for a DVD drive. I've never installed Win7 so quickly.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: For under ten bucks, I don't see why you wouldn't buy one.
