ASUS M4A77TD AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M4A77TD AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Unlocked my X3 720 and it runs rock solid stable with 4GB of Corsair XMS3 (not on the compatibility chart I might add, but Corsair almost never is). So this board turned my 2.8Ghz X3 720 into a 3.4Ghz X4 20. No doubt I can take it higher with some more playing. Yet another fantastic Asus board.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Thanks Newegg! This 720 I got to go with this board runs great as a quad!

Pros: Fired right up. Runs cool. Ubuntu install went quick and the OS was nice and responsive. Since Ubuntu didn't place nice with my AIW card, tossed on XPMCE. Runs fantastic. No problems at all with the single stick of Corsair RAM I threw in it.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: And I find yet another good board from Biostar.

XFX Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card HD-577A-ZNFC

Pros: Better than the GTS 250 it replaced.

Cons: Not as good as a 4870. So they say.

Overall Review: Haven't owned an ATi card since the 9800pro. So far this has impressed me. XFX cards always have.

Wow.

Pros: Excellent picture quality. Viewable from any angle at all. I was very apprehensive about this purchase, shipping a TV of this size and all. Turned out great and I'm totally hooked. Movies, games, everything run through a Yamaha receiver and this thing looks great!

Cons: It wasn't free?

Overall Review: I've owned several Toshiba products in the past (one being a 7+ year old laptop that's still working fine) and have always been impressed by their product. Glad to see this seems to have carried over to their TV builds.

Pros: It's Corsair. No one makes it better.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Why pay for any other brand?

Pros: Large side window. Front panel LCD shows fan speed and HD activity with animated fan icons. Good quality build. I had no problems at all, came packaged very nice as well. No nicks or dings on it. Gloss black looks real nice.

Cons: None.
