Pros: Main reason I bought these were the one piece frame. I have had other headset that are plastic and tend to break at the connection to the ear cup. Large ear cups. Update, been 6 months since my purchase. I wear these about 15 hours a week. They have held up really well. Still snug against my head, nothing is loose, holds setting well, ear cups are in one piece, the material still looks new.

Cons: Volume control and mic on the ear cup is annoying. Would rather have it inline on the wire. Update, don't mind the volume control on the ear but still don't like the mic on the ear

Overall Review: I was sick of the named brand headsets and wanted to try something new. Took a chance on these. Got them on sale and I don't think I would of bought them at full price. update, I would pay the $80 full price now.

Pros: None.

Cons: Doesn't support PPTP and Global VPN. Check out Cisco forums and you will see many post stating so. I only wished I would have read the forums first.

Overall Review: Do not buy if wish to work from home using a VPN connection!

$50 cheaper now, I bought the first one at $249

Acer GN246HL 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 144Hz 1ms DVI HDMI VGA Immersive 3D Backlit LED Gaming Monitor
Acer GN246HL 24" Full HD 1920 x 1080 144Hz 1ms DVI HDMI VGA Immersive 3D Backlit LED Gaming Monitor

Pros: Great Picture - DVI and HDMI inputs - 144 refresh rate is awesome

Cons: Stand isn't adjustable but when I bought the second monitor I also purchased a gas hydraulic Monitor stand for $100 to mount both monitors. Don't know why i didn't buy a monitor stand before, my neck isn't sore anymore.

Overall Review: Display port not necessary unless all you have on your laptop is VGA and Display Port. But they sell Display Port to DVI adapters that work great. Also with HDMI 2.0 Display Port is going to go away

Creative ZEN X-Fi 2.5" Black 8GB MP3 / MP4 Player ZXFI8GBBK
Creative ZEN X-Fi 2.5" Black 8GB MP3 / MP4 Player ZXFI8GBBK

Pros: Sounds nice if it works and headphones are decent.

Cons: This is 2nd Zen. The first arrived DOA. I was at work today and charging player off monitors USB. The player fell from the monitor stand to the desk 2", yes two inches, and the player doesn't power up anymore. How can a flash MP3 player stop working? There are very few moving parts.

Overall Review: I guess we will see what the warranty hassle will be with this company.

Creative ZEN X-Fi 2.5" Black 8GB MP3 / MP4 Player ZXFI8GBBK

Pros: The software was easy to set up and use. The FM radio pulled in stations really good. The sound is OK and would be great if they didn't brag so much about the X-FI.

Cons: Unit only worked for 2 days then was dead, wouldn't turn on or charge. Packaging sucked, you almost need to be a surgeon to get it out with out damaging the case. X-FI just an advertising gimmick, don't pay extra money for this option.

Overall Review: I first went to Creative Labs to try and get this fixed but it was a pain and NewEgg only gives a 30 day replacement. I wanted to return this player for my money back and go with another MP3 player.
