Pros: These are BY FAR the best computer speakers I have ever heard. I used to have an older Logitech 5.1 system that gave out and I struggled to find something that sounded as good as those until I got this system. The sound is perfectly balanced, crisp, clean, and loud. The subwoofer is arguably better than the Polk 10" I use in my home theater setup. I am very impressed with the input options and settings available for tuning the sound as well.

Cons: The price.

Overall Review: The low reviews of this system baffle me. I don't know how anyone could possibly be disappointed with the subwoofer, or any other aspect of it. It pounds like no other computer system I've ever heard. I have a Creative X-Fi Titanium sound card and found no need for the equalizer, crystalizer, or CMSS-3D settings. I did boost the treble a little bit (via speaker properties) to suit my taste, but everything else is just perfect. This system is now the standard by which all other speakers I purchase will be judged.

Pros: The picture is nice a bright and it has plenty of input options. The adjustable height is very nice.

Cons: This monitor has extremely bad color accuracy and contrast. The contrast is so high you can't see a lot of detail in white scenes, and adjusting it down still doesn't bring all the detail back. Unless you have it next to a high end monitor like I do, you'd probably never even notice. If this will be your only monitor it isn't going to look as bad as I'm making it sound.

Overall Review: I have calibrated this screen using a X-Rite i1 Display Pro. I highly recommend tweaking the settings to what I've listed below. The colors will still be off, but your grays will be near perfect. Mine is next to a Dell U2412M, which is VERY nice. It took very little effort to get a good calibration, and it displays far more detail in every kind of scene. The styling of the two matches perfectly. If not for space constraints I would have bought another U2412. Brightness: 45 Contrast: 50 Custom RGB Red: 97 Green: 100 Blue: 94

Pros: Just posting this to let you all know I've been abusing this switch for several years now and its still going strong. I have an ESXi server plugged into it with a dual port nic passed through to a vm and teamed to 2gbps. I get every last ounce of throuhgput possible out of it and couldn't be happier with how easy and simple it is to configure.

Cons: GUI is extremely dated and boring.

Overall Review: I've seen a couple d-link switches fail over the years, but never in a way that couldn't be fixed. One was capacitors which I replaced and still use as a trusty spare, and the other was just an external power supply. If you can catch their stuff on sale I highly recommend it.

Pros: Runs cool and quiet, good warranty

Cons: I bought two of these a few months apart for my home server, and within another month both of them have failed. The replacement for the first one was recertified, and it just failed as well. The replacement for the 2nd one was another new drive, but the delivery driver threw the box onto the porch so it probably won't last long either.

Overall Review: I've had extremely good luck with seagate over the years, but this model has been the bane of my existence. I am immediately switching to a different brand for my server. Maybe the next revision will work better.

Pros: I have purchased close to 50 of these drives and not a single one has been problematic. They are quick to read discs and look great in a business environment.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I bought a Sony CD-ROM about 11 years ago and it was a horrible device. They are much better now than they used to be.

Pros: Excellent color consistency, good color accuracy, no input lag, no ghosting, very nice menu system. If you're coming from a TN panel and need something better but don't want to spend a fortune, this is the monitor for you. Otherwise, read on.

Cons: The backlighting! The backlight on this monitor is so bad I'm considering returning it. It's like looking at a cheap TN panel. The right side top and bottom corners have significant bleed through and overall blacks are more gray than anything. For $300 and being IPS, I expected far more than this.

Overall Review: Maybe its worth noting that I'm coming from a 24" HP LP2465 IPS screen. It's several years old with a CCFL backlight but the blacks are the darkest I've ever seen and there is no backlight bleeding whatsoever. The color saturation is better than the U2412M also. If not for the unbearable input lag I'd still be using it. Due to its age the corners are starting to yellow, but I'd take that any day over the backlight problems of the Dell. I give it 4 eggs because the backlight is truly the ONLY complaint I have about this screen.
