Pros: I chose this after reading the mixed reviews on the Samsung 22” widescreens. This thing is great! No dead or stuck pixels, no ghosting, minimal backlighting (see cons) and a crisp clear image.

Cons: I get a very minimal amount of backlighting in the top center of a black screen. It’s hardly worth mentioning as its barely noticeable and only from certain angles. Not enough to deduct even 1/10 of an egg.

Overall Review: I kept putting off buying an LCD monitor. I shouldn’t have. The picture quality and clarity on this thing is much better than my old CRT’s. I was also worried about widescreen and how it would affect some games by cropping the top and bottom of the screen to fit but once I turned off scaling in my video card control panel and set resolution at the game level I now get the full screen at about the size of a 19” 4:3 monitor (centered on my widescreen). I’d highly recommend this monitor.

Pros: It's a fan.

Cons: It's loud.

Overall Review: I bought this as a side intake fan and removed it right away. It produces a very annoying, loud, high pitched whine. It turns out I didn't need it anyway once I got my new CPU cooler installed so I've now got this 80mm annoyance sitting quietly in a closet.

Pros: USB Powered, Plug & Play with XP, Nice travel case, Good sound, Volume controls.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I was going to give these four stars but for what they are they are very nice so I gave them five. Don't expect audiophile quality out of these. They are powered by your USB port and don't have a subwoofer but for travel, not having an outlet handy or just wanting fewer wires around these little speakers sound great. There's enough bass response that you can feel it if your sitting near your laptop. The volume goes as high as I need it to before the USB port starts clipping the power (which is indicated by the LED); easily enough to fill a room with sound. They seemed just a shade flat at first but just a touch of tweaking on the WMP EQ made them sparkle. I'd highly recommend these if you're considering them and on the fence.

Pros: Great RAM. This isn't the exact model I own but wanted to pass along some information. I have 4 Gb's of HyperX DDR2 800 (4x1 Gb) running smooth and stable.

Cons: None. I hate to see this good RAM loose eggs because people don't understand how and why it intalls as it does.

Overall Review: Kingston HyperX DDR2 800 RAM typically defaults to DDR2 667 at looser than stated timings and lower than stated voltages to ensure compatibility with a wide range of systems. Once installed simply go into the BIOS, raise the clock rate, tighten the timings and manually set the voltage to your specific part number's specs and you're good to go.

Pros: Good cooling, easy installation, no need to remove your motherboard, quiet, inexpensive, fit easily onto my EVGA 780i in a Cooler Master mid-tower case.

Cons: Big. I had to remove my side duct but it doesn't matter. Manufacturing tolerances on the mounting clips could be better. I had to use a flashlight to make sure the pins were seated in the holes properly and had to "lean" (not bend) the pins slightly to do so but that was minor.

Overall Review: I was idling in the low 40's and running in the mid-high 60's (even hitting 70) in Prime95 at 100% load to my E6750 CPU cores. Now I idle at ~31C and never exceed 51C at full load in Prime95 at ambient temps in the mid 70F range. For most use (games, videos, etc.) I'm running in the mid 40's (~45C). I've got Speedfan set to 1% at 30C and 100% at 55C and I haven't seen the fan run at max speed yet. This HSF would probably run cooler if I tweaked the fan settings some more. Install is easy if you've ever installed a stock Intel HSF. It's the same mount. Just remove the fan first (it's a simple tension clip). I was pleasantly surprized and highly recommend this unit.

Pros: It works

Cons: None
