Amazing colors, Huge size

SAMSUNG 21.6" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D 216BW
SAMSUNG 21.6" WSXGA+ LCD Monitor 5 ms D-Sub, DVI-D 216BW

Pros: First off this thing is massive, the pictures do not do justice to the actual size. Secondly no Dead/frozen pixels. No noticeable ghosting, and I do play games like Battlefield 2, Ghost Recon Advanced War Fighter 1 and 2. Love that fact that Samsung includes the DVI cable. Movies are great.

Cons: Ummm.. The fact that Newegg didn't offer a buy one get one free? Just one, there is a minuscule amount of light bleed at the top, but no where near as much as I was expecting, not enough to take an Egg away.

Overall Review: Coming from a 17" CRT this is like heaven. I would recommend this monitor to any of my friends, and family for that matter :D

Impressive Sound From Small Size

Eagle  ET-AR506-BK 100 Watts
 2.1  Speakers - Retail
Eagle ET-AR506-BK 100 Watts 2.1 Speakers - Retail

Pros: Where to start, 1. Sound stage is amazing from these small speakers. 2. The size is perfect for a small desk or apartment. 3. The bass is incredible from such a small package.

Cons: Just 2 that I can think of. one the bass can be overpowering at times with no way to turn it down on the sub its self. The wired remote is a nice touch but it has no power button anywhere on it, so you have to turn them off on the back of the sub, its not a huge deal but that bright blue LED does get annoying at 2am..

Overall Review: The cords are short but for my use it did not effect me to much. And they match my headphones which is a huge plus.

Huge, but stylish

Cooler Master Cosmos Pure Black Aluminum / SGCC ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master Cosmos Pure Black Aluminum / SGCC ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: The main reason I bought this case was for the interior design, the engineers at Cooler Master really did well with this one. First off the hard drive bays are removable, a huge plus if your coming from the CM-Stacker830 where you had to remove the entire front HD bay. Second of all is the black, it works well with almost every color, the theme Im using is black and red and so far it looks just plain sexy. Have some vinyl on the way to fither make it "pop"

Cons: The only con I can so so far is the sound proofing they used while a great idea, I can tell you right now its going to cause me some problems later down the road. On the ride side (behind the motherboard tray) there is sound proofing on the side panel, the only problem with this is thats where we all like to hide our large amounts of wire. I guess I will zip-tie it as tight as I can and pray it closes..

Overall Review: Over all this case gets 5 eggs the one con I mentioned is not enough of a pain in the back side to knock it down an egg. If your looking for a future proof case this is the one to go with.

Cambridge SoundWorks/Creative Ipod Dock

Creative Cambridge SoundWorks PlayDock i Model MF8046
Creative Cambridge SoundWorks PlayDock i Model MF8046

Pros: Ok now I'm some what of and audiophile so when I was looking at this dock I was sceptically of how the sound quality would be because of the all plastic construction; but I have to say that I am happily surprised with this Dock. Great mid's mostly clean lows(see cons) excellent bass the 24 watt sub doesn't sound like much, but for its size ratio it is more powerful than I expected. Don't get me wrong it will not shake the walls but it will shake your desk or night stand.

Cons: Ok not to many and nothing major but like a previous reviewer did state the unit does ten to make some what of a rattling noise when it has a mix of a high mid and a deep low, but other than that the unit is excellent.

Overall Review: I would recommend this product to any serious music listener that doesn't want to sacrifice sound for size. Small size but serious kick, couldn't ask for more.

Great Keyboard but..

Logitech G15 2-Tone 104 Normal Keys 34 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Keyboard
Logitech G15 2-Tone 104 Normal Keys 34 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Keyboard

Pros: Ok this keyboard is great, love the back lights for the keys makes a huge difference if you game in the dark! The Gkeys are great I use them for more than just games, like I have 3 to 4 of them set up for various email log ins. There are 18 but really there are 54 total because of the 3 modes, but I only use about 10 of them.

Cons: Now only two I can think of, one I find just completely strange that Logitech let go to production with this fault, its a gaming keyboard with only a 4 FOOT CORD!!! Come on now the G5 has a 6 or seven foot cord what were they thinking? The second one is that the pain on my spacebard is coming off from use.

Small price BIG performace!

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 2.6 GHz Socket AM2 89W Processor - ADA5200CSBOX
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 2.6 GHz Socket AM2 89W Processor - ADA5200CSBOX

Pros: All I can say is wow, I came from a single core Althon 3200+ and the difference is amazing! I never thought that dual core would really make this much of a difference. I play Battlefield 2 and BF 2142 and the difference is amazing, I have seen a jump in my FPS from 62 to around 99. That alone has made this price of the processor more than worth it. This processor is so stable I may even over clock it to 3.0GHz, with idle temperatures of around 20-30c not bad at all considering I only have a mid tower computer case!

Cons: I haven't had any issues with this processor. Iam very happy with it!

Overall Review: My build: DFI LanParty SLI, Amd Althon X2 5200+, 2gbs Gskill system memory, XFX 8600GTX, 500gb Maxtor Sata hard drive, 160bg Westerndigtal back up hard drive.
