Very nice display case!!!

Pros: Well built quality htpc case. As the previous reviewer said, the best looking home theater pc there is. Lots of room to work which even includes a magnetic screw driver, remote, and wireless keyboard. The lcd is full color but limited on when it comes to higher resolution rates. Lots of room to work and no optical drive vs video card restrictions.
Cons: The Imedia software (used by both Moneual and Silverstone) is okay at best, but it will require some time to set up but does play blu-rays and utilizes the front lcd well. THis software is not required when using Win7 media center.
Overall Review: A case you will keep for years to come...
streaming media was a nightmare

Pros: solid construction
Cons: poor reliability
Overall Review: messed with this switch for six months and it would some times stream video to 3 pcs all with gigabit nics and win 7. however, mixed 1000 and 100 connections at the switch made it and the d link 220b both lockup after a few minutes. bought an smc and now all is well. you get what you pay for in this case...
great for hd video streaming

Pros: great for mixed connection speeds. perfect for streaming win7 media center 1080p video. look no further...
Cons: heat not a problem with mine.
Overall Review: tried d link and trendnet green versions and got nothing but headaches until this one. stop reading, this is your switch. dont suffer like i did...
Don't listen to the whiners...

Pros: Great looks and matches well with your audio components! Remote (with updated IMon HD software online). Don't need Windows MCE. MSI R4870 1 Gb dvi graphics card works perfectly & quietly! LG HD DVD\BluRay player or burner fits right in. Well made http metal case for standard atx mboards.
Cons: Cheezy feeling volume knob - not worth deducting an egg. Fans are too noisy! Buy 4 SilenX 11db fans! Instructions leave a little to be desired, but this is not a hard install, just take your time!
Overall Review: I build https for buyers and I really like this case! All https have some particular limitations, research your purchase!!! Read the specs or any of the reviews on the web!!! FULL SIZE GRAPHICS CARDS (length wise) DONT WORK! Why would you not research an expensive case purchase!!! I've never hear any Seagate or WD harddrives make a sound in this case and I usually sit right next to it, you can't hear your hard drives across the room! Replace the fans w/ 4 SilenX 11 db fans, watch the size (2-80mm and 2-90mm)!!! I don't suggest spending $500 or more on a case with an LCD screen. I have bought several, and I am sitting next to one now, but I am not that impressed for $200-300 more. If you've got it, do it but research the purchase and expect to replace those fans too!!!
Excellent Monitor

Pros: This monitor renders a very good, rich colorful image, especially when compared with other low cost wide screen monitors.
Cons: Finicky about the digital input, so use a decent video card along with the dvi cable in the box or a higher quality one. A beautiful picture is the reward! No problems with analog which is often perfectly fine for an office environment.
Overall Review: Monitor speakers are always weak, and are just included for low office (cubicle) volumes only. Buy real speakers folks!!! Also, one reviewer gave 2 if not all 3 1-Egg, bad reviews (all within 24 hours of each other) on this product mentioning video lines and shipping. If you want possibly a better return policy, I know LG has a great one! Never had to return a Hanns-G.
The Best Combo Newegg Sells!!!

Pros: THe keyboard is very durable as I have abused mine! The mouse is one of the nicest ones out there! Just put it in its cradle once in a while and you've got to love "No more mouse batteries!" Keyboard only needs 2 AAs and they last a long time.
Cons: Have to stay in range of the receiver, but I am 10 feet away from it now!
Overall Review: This keyboard combo is the best non-gamer setup Newegg sells HANDS DOWN!!! Had this thing for more than a year and I've even slammed it against my desk when I lost some very important data once. Oops!!! Still works fine! I've been building systems for 17 years! and won't upgrade this combo except maybe to go ergonomic, but that combo has no mouse charger. The mouse cradle/charger makes the difference. NO MORE MOUSE BATTERIES - Halleluia! The keyboard only needs 2-AAs changed approx every 4-6 months (heck I don't remember) of daily useage when many of the others have to replace 4 batteries at once in a lesser period. A good wireless keyboard is worth the extra money! When I am surfing the web, I like to sit back and enjoy bad posture without wires. As for the complaints, some people can pick anything apart!
