Pros: I was very pleasantly surprised by this monitor. The picture is beautiful, with no dead pixels. It's reasonably easy to manipulate the screen placement, and setting it up only took a few seconds. It's got a very nice picture for the price, and the 16x10 format is very nice for most users. There is very, very little glare, but the picture is still very sharp. It's much better than the fog from monitors I've seen with extensive anti-glare treatment, or dealing with the distraction from mirror like images from those that aren't. It also comes with a lot of cables, everything you could possibly need. It's nice when they don't skimp.

Cons: The monitor is a bit bright, and even turning things down all the way does not dim it quite enough for me. I guess that's the price to be paid for a monitor that does not use PWM. Overall, it's not a big issue. Also, it does not have HDMI. Again, not a big deal, since it has DisplayPort. Just be aware of it.

Overall Review: I will probably get at least one more of these monitors I'm so pleased with the picture, even though I don't currently need it. I couldn't be more impressed with the quality of this monitor, given the price.

Pros: The card installed easily, and is very quite, of course. It works well enough, and is rather cheap. I had to fiddle with the drivers a little, but it was relatively easy.

Cons: This thing gets seriously hot. I have a high threshold for pain, and I can't touch the PCB for more than four seconds before I have to let go. Strangely, the back of the PCB is hotter than the heatsink. It works, for now, but it's way hotter than I am comfortable with.

Overall Review: This is not a R520 based GPU, it's a rehashed R300. I found this out after I bought it, thanks to ATI's weird numbering scheme (every other x1000 is R5xx series). I would not buy this again due to the amount of heat it creates, I was kind of prepared for its limited functionality.

Pros: It is the only AM1 board that offers Display Port output.

Cons: This board has been the most reliable I've ever had the bad experience to work with. I've had two bad ones, and another that died after six months. I finally have a working one again, but it's still strange to get two bad ones in a row. Also, the Display Port is very annoying. The UEFI defaults to HDMI, so if you don't have a monitor that can handle it or D-Sub, so you can change it, you're out of luck. My monitor had only Display Port, so I every time I got a new motherboard, or updated the BIOS/UEFI, I had to use another monitor to change the setting. A jumper or switch on the MB would have made more sense if this was unavoidable. Also, the motherboard would not allow ANY increase in Bclk, so forget overclocking your processor even slightly. Even with a 1 MHz increase, it would not boot. No MB diagnostic codes for when it fails. It just doesn't do anything.

Overall Review: I'm not sure how much sense these setups make anyway with Intel Pentiums so cheap. I have both, and the Pentium (non-Atom) based system is much more powerful. Cost savings are minimal if one buys this board as well (it's the most expensive AM1), so probably better off either getting a cheap AM1 MB and going cheap, or just getting a superior Intel solution and paying just a small amount more.

Pros: The A6-5200 is plenty fast.

Cons: Lousy memory support (couldn't get my 8gb module to work) Lousy tech support from company (filling out a ticket is a nightmare, and they require things like the serial number, which is nowhere to be found). UEFI BIOS doesn't support memory timings, just speeds. It adjusts timings own its own based on the speed, regardless of how you change them. It's also buggy and counter-intuitive.

Overall Review: If you can find this processor in a different motherboard, from a different maker, go for it. Do not buy from ECS, they did as poorly as one could have expected. Also, this board does NOT support XP. It will work, kind of, but because the Kabini has no XP drivers from AMD, the iGPU is not support, making for a very awkward XP experience. It's essentially unusable on XP, but runs fine on Windows 8.1. I wish it were the other way around.

Pros: Cheap, uses EATX, and quite large.

Cons: It's got the twin charms of being both heavy and flimsy at the same time. It has sharp edges too. It's very poorly made, complete junk, and disagreeable to work with. It came bent and was difficult to even open.

Overall Review: If you need something cheap that will use EATX, and don't mind working with garbage, then this is for you. You get what you pay for.

Pros: Has clear highs, and excellent mid-tones. A lot of included parts, and accessories. Easy to set up.

Cons: Very ugly speakers, and has polished surface near the actual speakers that reflects light like a mirror and is very irritating. Also, tinny up high, and the lows are muddled. There are better speakers at this price, of the three I have, this is the worst by a little. Ugliest by far. Also, the volume intervals are a little too coarse, and often times you find one too loud and the other too soft. Very cheap feel too it too.

Overall Review: They are very heavy speakers due to the metal casing.
