Most Favorable Review

Excellent!

Acer 24" WUXGA LCD Monitor with HDCP Support 2ms(GTG) D-Sub, DVI P243WAid
Acer 24" WUXGA LCD Monitor with HDCP Support 2ms(GTG) D-Sub, DVI P243WAid

Pros: No dead pixels, excellent image quality, big, fast response

Cons: Being able to adjust the height would be nice, I knew about this previously before buying it though

Overall Review: This is easily the best quality monitor/lcd I've ever owned, the last time I rememeber being so wow'd is when I went from a 14" Acer CRT to a new 19" Viewsonic flat screen CRT. The image quality is superb, the screen is wonderfully huge and the gaming performance is awesome. Aiming in Quake Live has never been so easy.

Great Little MB

ZOTAC NF610I-E-E LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7050 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Cheap, compact, everything works well

Cons: Took some extra tweaking to get the sound/LAN working in Windows 7, no CPU Vcore adjustment

Overall Review: A great little motherboard for my media server. To the poster below, the integrated sound is compatible with Windows 7 32bit/64bit. Search for a sound driver called Realtek HD Audio 229. For some reason the LAN's MAC address came reset to 00:00:00:00:00:00, my router didn't like it. I had to use NVidia's program to manually set the MAC address so my router would recognize it. Other then these 2 hiccups, I have complaints. I'm running it with a Celeron E3200 overclocked to 3.85GHz (stock voltage and heatsink).

Wow!

Pros: Great price, performance, overclockability, everything!

Cons: It wasn't free?

Overall Review: Picked this up for $45 shipped, what a deal. I have it running in my media server at 3.85ghz at stock voltage, running well (under 95f full load) on the STOCK heatstink. This thing is amazing. It's running on an el cheapo micro ATX nforce 610i motherboard so I can't bump the CPU voltage to test its limit. Great performance for the price, can't really get any better. I couldn't really ask for more.

Best Headphones I've Used

Pros: Great sound quality, comfortable, great noise cancellation

Cons: None!

Overall Review: I've owned many pairs of headphones, ranging from low quality to high quality ($200+) and these have always been my favorite pair. The sound quality is excellent, they comfortable and they do an excellent job canceling out noise.

Mmmm 120hz

ViewSonic FuHzion X Series VX2265wm Black 22" 3ms 120Hz 3D Ready Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1
ViewSonic FuHzion X Series VX2265wm Black 22" 3ms 120Hz 3D Ready Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1

Pros: Excellent image quality, 120hz

Cons: Flimsy stand, no OSD

Overall Review: I love this thing. I made the switch from CRT to LCD in 2003. Now that I'm back on 120hz refresh, games like Quake Live just seem so much easier. Everything is very fluid. A definite must if you are a competitive FPS gamer.
