I love this video card!!

HIS Radeon HD 4670 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card H467QS1GH
HIS Radeon HD 4670 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card H467QS1GH

Pros: I bought this video card for my HTPC/Gaming build and I love it! I got it for $60 with free shipping on sale! It has a HDMI port with HDMI 7.1 surround sound that sounds and looks great! This video card outperformed my expectations for gaming by a longshot. I was hoping to be able to play games like Aion, UT3, Silkroad..etc on medium quality at 1080p, but instead I was able to run them all at high quality. I usually get 40-60 FPS on Aion maxed out at 1080p! This card gets a 5.9 on windows index and could get higher if I overclocked it (I don't have the need to do so yet though). This thing also has great cooling that makes it never get too hot. Usually runs around 35 degrees Celsius while surfing the net and playing music etc.. and never higher than 55 degrees Celsius while gaming (so far). Great buy for the money. I would highly recomend it!

Cons: None!

Pros: Looks nice with the tempered glass and big full RGB fans. Love the cube design as it stands out from the rest of the cases.

Cons: Do wish it was a little bit taller in case I wanted to do SLI with big GPUs, I still could, it would just be tight. SLI and Crossfire aren't really utilized much anymore so not really a con.

Overall Review: I would definitely say buy this case if you are looking for a unique and very nice looking case that stands out from the rest and gives you good value for your money with 5 very very nice full RGB fans and overall high quality construction.

Pros: These chips run very fast! I love them! For just the 4gbs of RAM included it gets a rating of 7.2 out of 7.9 in windows 7 index! Very nice for the price!

Cons: None!

Overall Review: Get it on sale like I did!

Amazing price for this high quality camera!

Pros: This thing is fairly thin, has 10MP's and a 3in very nice looking screen, all for under $50 shipped! Very good deal. I love it so far.

Cons: No rechargable built in battery.Eats batteries like crazy, but so does all cameras. Would def recommend getting some cheap rechargable AA batteries for this thing!

Overall Review: Great for the price.

Great PSU!!

LOGISYS Computer PS550ABK 550Watts ATX12V Power Supply With SATA and 20/24 Pin connectors.

Pros: I got this for my HTPC build that doesn't require too much power and this thing delivers perfect for the perfect price! I have never had a power failure or system restart. but I have only owned it for a month. So far so good! This is my 3rd PSU from Logisys. The first I bought was the acrylic PSU 550 watt and it lasted over a year before being burnt out. I think it was due to dust though since I never cleaned it :/. The second I bought workes good, but has some problems restarting (I think it has a bad 12v rail) and then this one runs smooth like my first one. So far I am very impressed for the price I have paid and the quality I recieved!

Cons: Only one SATA connection (you can buy 4pin power connectors to sata convertors for cheap to fix this) and 25Amps on the single 12v rail make it not so good for high-end gaming systems, but just perfect for my HTPC system!

Pros: Great solid working SATA 7200RPM 400GB HDD for $34.99 with free shipping! I got this for my HTPC build.
