This thing is Scary

GIGABYTE GeForce 8500 GT 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Graphics Card GV-NX85T512HP
GIGABYTE GeForce 8500 GT 512MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Graphics Card GV-NX85T512HP

Pros: 206.1 fps on quake III timedemo...what more do you need to know!!! This thing is big and to fast it is scary. Plays every game I have at high res without the slightest hiccup. Does 3D modeling and rendering better than my $1500 Quatro card at the office. This thing rocks!

Cons: HUGE!! HEAVY!! HOT!! Will not fit in some slim cases. Weight far to much for a vid card-I had to make a brace to hold it up because it was sagging in the socket. Runs warm. I put a case slot cooler below mine right from the start due to it not having a fan on it. Without that the temps would be way too high for comfort.

Overall Review: Great card for a reasonable price. I have put 4 of these in and had no problems. Just accept that it needs a fan and don't try to put it in some little tiny case and you will love it.

They work

TOMTOP LUPUSS Adjustable Over Ear 3.5mm Aux Esport Gaming Headphones, Low Bass Stereo with Mic Wired for PC Laptop Computer Tablet Notebook - Black/Red
TOMTOP LUPUSS Adjustable Over Ear 3.5mm Aux Esport Gaming Headphones, Low Bass Stereo with Mic Wired for PC Laptop Computer Tablet Notebook - Black/Red

Pros: Looks pretty good. Connects to older machines. Reasonably comfortable to use.

Cons: You get what you pay for. This is a cheap headset. Look and finish are decent but sound quality is not good. Volume must be turned all the way up to hear anything. No mute button for mic. Mediocre materials. Massively worse unit than the $25 Logitech it replaced. Pay a little more and get something good unless you absolutely want the cheap price.

Overall Review: This set is OK for a basic gaming headset but if you will use for music get something better. Sound quality is OK on voice chat but poor on music. Mic picks up alot of background noise. Low sound output is a real problem.

good cheap cable

Pros: It's a cable......it's cheap......it works. Not alot more to say.

Cons: None

Overall Review: If you are worried about the shipping costing more than the cable wait to order until you can with other items. That will save money. Even without that it is still cheaper than at a retail store. I had to buy one fast at a major retailer and paid $14 for the same thing.

Cheap and good......

Pros: Works perfectly right out of the box. Definitely faster than the it replaced.

Cons: None

Overall Review: This was a replacement of a dead Hitachi. After setting jumpers to SATA 1.5 everything worked perfectly. Is faster and quieter in this machine than the Hitachi ever was.

Good little hub

SYBA CL-U2MNHUB-4W 4 ports USB V2.0 mini hub

Pros: Works great. The lights showing connection on each port are convienient. Low cost way to add more usb ports where you need them.

Cons: Tiny cable that will require an extension cable in almost any use. No instruction or documentation at all with the device. It has switches to turn ports on and off, but if you don't look at the back you will never know this.

Overall Review: I found it best to just turn all ports on when I hooked this thing up, that way all are live when needed. Forget the switches. Buy an extension cable when you get this unless you can place it 6" from your usb port on your machine (which is unlikely). A good little device that does what it should......just a few points you should know.
