Fun

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures PC Game
Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures PC Game

Pros: graphics are great, very interactive combat system. plenty of quests to keep you leveling.

Cons: you need a decent machine to run it a little buggy but completely playable.

Overall Review: This game is really good. People dont like it because of the following reasons, 1. they cant run it 2. they get used to wow where you only need to push 2 buttons, if you get this game it requires much more focus to play because you have to attack in different directions after you use a combo to get the benefit.

MSI P6N SLI Platinum LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: The board was fine it did what it said it could, easy to overclock etc...

Cons: however i was trying to run an sli system and after trouble shooting with evga and msi it was a faulty motherboard, (it couldnt recognize the second video card) so i had to rma it.

Overall Review: 1 egg for the faulty board another for having to rma it...

Good Buy

iSymphony 37" 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV
iSymphony 37" 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV

Pros: Big and Surprisingly bright, very cheap considering you are getting a 1080p 37 inch display, 3 hdmi, 2 component inputs, speakers are surprisingly loud

Cons: speaker quality isnt the best, however many will have some type of sound system so this doesnt matter, limited menu, and the remote/menu isnt the most responsive when trying to change settings (lags out a little bit) back light is very noticable if the screen is almost completely black

Overall Review: i bought this to function as a Tv/ primary monitor, text could be a bit sharper but is by all means completely acceptable. games look great, although the 8ms response time is not the greatest for fps. All things considered this is a good buy and i would reccomend it to friends, obviously you get what you pay for however this is very comparable to brands such as vizio, who charge several hundred dollars more for simillar displays if your looking to spend less than 500 dollars this is definetly the best deal that i could find at the time of purchase

Solid

HP Desktop PC Pavilion Elite E9220F (NY552AA#ABA) AMD Phenom II X4 910 8GB DDR3 1TB HDD ATI Radeon HD 4350 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Pros: good cpu lots of ram and a blue ray, lots of hdd space, sounds good right? works as advertised

Cons: video card is fine unless your a gamer, otherwise needs to be upgraded, which means you need to upgrade power supply, the case is small but you can work with it, the case layout is very annoying but again its workable.

Overall Review: upgraded to a 4890 and 750 watt psu was a very tight fit also tossed a 500g hard drive in there as well, had to take the front panel off and scootch up the disk drives to make the power supply fit, works but looks like hell. after the upgrades this thing rips anything ive thrown at it apart.

Mixed Feelings

Logitech Z-2300 200 watts RMS 2.1 Speaker System
Logitech Z-2300 200 watts RMS 2.1 Speaker System

Pros: Sound GOOD not great. all the glowing reviews are from people who have owned 20 dollar desktop speakers and upgrade to these, I use these with a soundblaster fatality sound card.

Cons: the highs arent as high as i had hoped, although I would buy this product again for around 100$ totally acceptable and doesnt sound bad at all. one of the best systems for the money however.

Overall Review: I made a 4.1 system with this and two JBL platinum series speakers i found in a garbage can and these are only slightly better. buy them JUST DON'T BUY INTO THE HYPE!!!!

Great
