Most Favorable Review
ECS A780GM-M3 AM3/AM2+ AMD 780G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
ECS A780GM-M3 AM3/AM2+ AMD 780G Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: 2.0 compliant x16 PCI slot ATI Crossfire enabled with onboard video Compatible with AM3 processors with bios upgrade

Cons: Limited overclock options Limited memory voltage control. I would like to run my mem at 2.1 volts, not 1.8 or 2.2 Absolutely frustrating RAID support. Freaking took forever to get settings right.

Overall Review: Great board, cheap price. Great for limited gaming or productivity. Using mine for HTPC. No real complaints.

Most Critical Review

Good looking board, dead after bios flash

MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON AM4 AMD X370 USB 3.1 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON AM4 AMD X370 USB 3.1 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: - Board looks great - Great memory support

Cons: - 2 power cycles after bios flash, board will not post - seems this is a frequent occurrence with this board

Overall Review: Will update review after new board installed. RMAs suck. 1080ti going back in my FX system.

Oh Yeah!

SAMSUNG 24" TN LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D 2494SW
SAMSUNG 24" TN LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D 2494SW

Pros: Just amazing. Huge for the price. Big, Beautiful, Black, and Bright.

Cons: No HDMI input, but comes with DV-I cable, so it's not really a con. It's a monitor not a TV.

Overall Review: For 200 bones including shipping, it's a hell of a deal.

Amazing!

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 ST1000DM005/HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Set two up in RAID 0. Went through a competitor of New Egg since they're currently out of stock. This things are seriously fast. Faster than Raptors, even. Getting ~ 280 MB/s read speed and around 200 write speed. Short stroked the drives to 300 GB/piece. Unbelievable! Low price for such an amazing drive!

Cons: Not currently in stock

Overall Review: Random access still a bit long in the 11 ms range. But, I can deal with that. If you want nothing but speed, and cost is not a concern, go with SSD. But, if you're like me, you want the best value for the dollar. Go with this. Can't beat it!

Flawless

Rosewill RNX-EasyN4 IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless-N 2.0 Broadband Router (2T2R) Up to 300Mbps Data Rates/ WPA Personal and Enterprise, WPA2, 64 & 128 bit WEP, PSK, TKIP, AES, WPS Security with 2 dBi Antenna x2

Pros: Great for range! A floor above and two rooms over, getting 100% signal. Quite fast compared to the G counterpart. Very intuitive firmware design. Connection from ~ 150 ft is 270 Mbits. True throughput is a little hard to measure since it doesn't contain gigabit lan ports, but it easily maxes out the 100 Mb connection going from wired to wireless.

Cons: Doesn't contain a Gbit lan, but for under 60 bones, what can you expect?

Overall Review: Great quality from an inexpensive router. Outstanding.

It works
