Pros: Picked this up on Black Friday and I's so happy I did. I was surprised to find out that all of the internals were actual name brands and not some no name parts. Had room for some cheap upgrades as well which i quickly took advantage of (added a 1 TB M.2 drive and second 8 GB DDR4 chip).

Cons: Box was dinged up but that was not Skytech's fault and the internal padding did its job. GPU came loose in shipping but after reseating the GPU and Ram it ran fine.

Overall Review: All told for what i paid I am blown away by this rig. It runs AAA titles wonderful and with some basic cheap upgrades can be a wonderful rig for the next few years.

So big...So Bright

Pros: There is just so much real estate here! The stand is no where near as wobbly as reviews make it sound, i have an unbalanced washer in the next room and the thing barely moves but i can feel the washer sitting in my chair. The colors out of the box were a little on the cool side but it was easy to fix. The touch panel is not unresponsive its just hard to get used to.

Cons: Why do they make me write things here.

Overall Review: If you are running windows 7 the cd wont work, just go to LG's site they have a 7 version of ForteManager there that works great.

Best Mouse I've owned

Logitech MX 518 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical 1800 dpi Gaming Mouse

Pros: I've had this mouse for a little over 3 years now and i still love it. This thing is super responsive and easy to set up. The set point program works great even in game. I often find myself switching sensitivities in the middle of a game and it always responds smoothly.

Cons: They made me put words here.

Overall Review: This mouse has managed to outlast every other piece of hardware i own and still preform as if it just came out of the box. Well worth the money i spent on it when it first came out and now its just a steal. Would give this 15 eggs if they let me, 5 for each year of awesome performance.

Great Gaming Keyboard

Pros: Macro Pad is well laid out, I never seem to have to move my wrist at all when playing most games. Back lighting is great, love how there are 3 intensities and off for each color. The macro software worked great out of the box and i managed to download marco sets for games that weren't included on the CD. Keys feel very good, the space bar has a definite click to it but i like that in a board

Cons: Takes so getting used to, especially the numbers above the butterfly.

Overall Review: Bought this to replace a broken generic board on 2 year old gaming rig. Works great when combined with my MX518 mouse. Also you have to love Newegg for the fast shipping and good packing that they do.

Good over all

Pros: First time using raidmax. Bought it due to low price point because i needed to keep the cost down as much as possible. I was surprised at how nice it actually was.

Cons: Rear I/O panel is poorly designed. As others have said this case does have some sharp edges to it but i work with metal a lot so i didnt mind.

Overall Review: While not as good as the cases i normaly use when building for friends and family it was half the price so you get what you pay for. And as always Newegg rocks!

Solid RAM

Kingston 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Desktop Memory Model KVR800D2N5/1G

Pros: This is the fifth comp that ive built using this RAM. So far ive never had any problems. I use it for everything but high end gaming PC's which need heat spreaders.

Cons: None
