Looks beautiful, but no DVI cable?

Pros: Great price for such a gorgeous monitor. It's a HUGE difference from my previous 20" widescreen. No dead pixels. Comes with three inputs (DVI-VGA-VGA) and an input select so you can run multiple sources into the monitor and toggle between them.

Cons: It didn't come with a DVI cable. It comes with a HDMI-DVI cable, but not a plain DVI-DVI one. I built a computer with a GF880GT that has dual DVI-out and couldn't hook the monitor up till I went out and bought a cable. Seems like a huge oversight on an otherwise feature-rich monitor. If you don't already have a DVI cable, be sure to add one to your order!

Sounds Amazing, but Horrible Construction Quality

Pros: For the the first few weeks, I was in love with them. They sounded great, were relatively comfortable, customizable colors for the lights was pretty fun.

Cons: At least once an hour, they'd drop their wireless signal and re-establish it again after a couple seconds. Not a huge deal, but it was pretty annoying. Battery life isn't great, I'd estimate I'd get about 4-5 hours total before having to plug them back in to charge. The usb plug was also loose, so it was difficult to use them plugged in without the cable falling out. The biggest con is the're made out of extremely cheap plastic. There's a very thin piece of plastic used as the extension, and it snapped in the right side after about a month. I glued it and would only use the left side to extend to fit over my head. About three months later, the left side snapped as well rendering them pretty much unusable now.

Overall Review: If they had used metal instead of plastic in the headband, and had a better usb connection, these would be a nice set of headphones.

Great case

Pros: Lightweight, lots of space inside and well layed out, lots of expansion slots. An extra fan above the CPU with a vent in the side of the case helps keep the inside running cool as well.

Cons: I didn't care for the ports on the top of the case. I have my case on the floor and am always afraid of bumping against something plugged in to the top. Also the USB ports are backwards to me, the "top" faces towards you instead of away from you.
