Works. No problems

Hanns-G 27" HD LCD Monitor (WLED) 2 ms D-Sub, DVI, HDMI HL273HPB
Hanns-G 27" HD LCD Monitor (WLED) 2 ms D-Sub, DVI, HDMI HL273HPB

Pros: For as cheap as it was, I was skeptical at first but once everything was plugged in and turned on I was satisfied. No screen flickering, no dead pixels, and no screen tearing while playing games like War Thunder and BF3 (My 22" ASUS right next to it starts to show screen tearing after a few hours of game play).

Cons: Sound out of the monitor could be louder. My priority was to buy a cheap working 22" monitor and not a monitor with built-in speakers. So the speakers are just extra and it sure sounds like they were "just extra".

Overall Review: Connected to a MAC laptop (Windows 7 OS) and the lid is closed so I run a HDMI to DVI connector and a 3.5mm audio cable to the monitor. Since the laptop lid is closed I rely on the sound from the monitor. The speaker hasn't cut out (yet?) so so far so good!

OUTSTANDING!

TP-LINK TL-WN722N Wireless N150 High Gain USB Adapter, 150Mbps, w/4 dBi High Gain Detachable Antenna, IEEE 802.11b/g/n, WEP, WPA/WPA2

Pros: Stays connected continuously! Great reception!

Cons: Once in a blue moon I lose connection but I'm pretty sure its my cruddy wireless router.

Overall Review: I purchased a wireless N dongle from Rosewell and its reception and connection was terrible. Always got dropped from games (BF3, CS, TF2) from lost connection. Would highly recommend this adapter out of all adapters.

Finally got it

Pros: Finally received the package. The package seemed to be already opened and poorly resealed. However, everything looked good and was all intact.

Cons: UPS likes to leave your items on the front porch. They ring the door bell and run back to the truck. So if you order something important or expensive, make sure to be around.

Overall Review: Haven't placed a motherboard or any other peripherals in it yet.

Good! But only for PC

Logitech X-540 70 watts 5.1 Speakers
Logitech X-540 70 watts 5.1 Speakers

Pros: Like the how the speaker bottoms can swivel to either be posted on the wall or set on your desk. The center speaker clamp is really nifty, it fits on my 32 inch t.v. nicely. Bass is good enough for me. Best speaker system I even owned so far.

Cons: Only has connection for only the stereo speakers to be used to your TV. For instance, if you wanted to use them with your xbox you will not get the 5.1 sound system. Wish the rear speaker cords were a little bit longer

Overall Review: The controller that has the easy headphone input for the speaker system is pretty cool. Though if it had a MIC input attached to it as well.... it would just be nice to have.

Nice Job

Rosewill RNX-EasyN1 Wireless-N 4.0 Dongle (1T1R) IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Up to 150Mbps Data Rates WPA/WPA2 (AES, 64,128-WEP with shared-key authentication) WPS PIN, PBC (Hardware WPS Button) QoS-WMM

Pros: Pretty decent signal. Being how its sitting underneath my desk and that the wireless Netgear router is upstairs, it is receiving a good 70-80% signal. The download test off of testmy.net is 8093 Kbps or 8.1 Mbps with suddenlink. Play online games (ArmaII and TF2) with a ping avg < 100

Cons: Nothing Yet

Overall Review: Got it for $10 when it was on sale. Great bang for the buck.

No worries

PNY GeForce GTX 275 896MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCGGTX275XPB
PNY GeForce GTX 275 896MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card VCGGTX275XPB

Pros: A lot better than a GeForce 8600. Plays all games from Arma II to Flight Sim X. Can run most of the settings on high for those 2 games. For TF2 and CS it's maxed out. Shouldn't have to replace for a long time. Plus free Batman game was pretty sweet.

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Make sure you measure the distance from the back of your case to the hard drive en-closer holders. I had to move everything from PCI cards and hard drives to other spots.
