Most Favorable Review

Very nice

Wacom MTE450 5.8" x 3.7" Active Area USB Bamboo Pen Tablet- Black finish
Wacom MTE450 5.8" x 3.7" Active Area USB Bamboo Pen Tablet- Black finish

Pros: This is my first experience with a tablet, and I am impressed. Drivers are what ALL drivers should be: simple, to the point, and they just work. Flawlessly. Im on XP, cant say for Vista.

Cons: It doesnt work with GIMP too well, not at all on Windows. I cant hold that against Wacom, tho. Zoom setting is too drastic in Flash. Still, not sure whos fault that is.

Overall Review: As a first tablet, you wont be disappointed. If you need one for more than professional reasons, the surface area may be a bit crowded. Just opening Photoshop and drawing like its paper. Priceless.

Junk

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black CPU Air Cooler - 120mm High Performance PWM Fan, 4 Copper Heat Pipes, Aluminum Top Cover, Low Noise & Easy Installation, AMD AM5/AM4 & Intel LGA 1851/1700/1200, Black

Pros: Price Size

Cons: It never got full contact on the CPU, so it was doing nothing. Temps at 100C, throttling, etc. Mounting plate screw slots were stripped. Very bad design. I had to literally rip it out with pliers. Junk!

Overall Review: I kept the fan and stuck it on a Noctua NH-U12S redux for dual-fan setup. Skip this junk, get a Noctua. Just do it.

Overall Review: Don't skimp on your cooler. This doesn't have a lot of fluff, it does it's job, and it does it well. Recommended.

Very nice monitor (4.5/5 Eggs)

ViewSonic VA2349S 23" Full HD 1080P SuperClear IPS Widescreen LED Backlit Monitor, 1000:1, 250cd/m2, VGA&DVI-D, VESA Mountable
ViewSonic VA2349S 23" Full HD 1080P SuperClear IPS Widescreen LED Backlit Monitor, 1000:1, 250cd/m2, VGA&DVI-D, VESA Mountable

Pros: This screen is beautiful. Running games at 1080p and it's just gorgeous. Viewsonic lives up to their name. I got it on special for around $130, and no regrets.

Cons: No HDMI connection; also only comes with VGA cable, so either way, you'll probably have to buy a cable or adapter separately. The stand feels a little cheap and wobbly, but it does the job.

Overall Review: This is a 5-Egg monitor, if only it had HDMI. If you find it on special, grab it(grab a couple!). You won't regret it.
