Most Critical Review

Bad Choice

GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-MA790X-UD4P AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Low Price

Cons: This board is not an ATX factor as listed. Memory slots are too close together. Memory with large heat spreaders will not fit. Not enough support for motherboard.

Overall Review: I have purchased and returned three sets of high end memory that did not fit with the heat spreaders. I have never had this problem with any other brand of board that I have purchased. I will never buy another board from this company.

Big Case

Pros: This thing is huge.

Cons: The manual is not up to date and you must not forget to use the mylar insulators or you will damage your motherboard.

Overall Review: you may need a dolly to move it after it is assembled.

ALTEC LANSING VS4221 35 Watts 2.1 Speakers
ALTEC LANSING VS4221 35 Watts 2.1 Speakers

Pros: I have got a set of four feet tall kliptch horns for my music system and while these Altec Lansings are not in the same ballpark, for such a low price they are pretty impressive.

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: It is important to place the speakers in the proper location. I placed mine up on a shelf that had a grill so that the sound is not blocked on the downward facing speakers. I place the woofer under the desk.
