Great PS

CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 CMPSU-430CX 430W ATX12V Active PFC Power Supply
CORSAIR Builder Series CX430 CMPSU-430CX 430W ATX12V Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: It was cheap. I got it for 15 bucks after the MIR. We'll see if that ever comes in. This PS is nice and quiet as well. My older generic PS sounded like a Jet was getting ready to take off. And finally, I like the new PS smell!

Cons: Someone earlier had commented about the weird buzz that comes from this PS. It is true but it should wear off over time. The first night this was installed I had to actually leave the room and let it buzz on it's own. It's almost a very high pitched faint sound that you can hear. It's definatly enough to be annoying.

Overall Review: It it wasn't for that annoying noise I would have givin this PS 5 stars. It works great and it looks great and beside that weird noise (that is more annoying than loud) it's actually pretty quite.

Good

GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4850 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R485OC-1GH
GIGABYTE Radeon HD 4850 1GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card GV-R485OC-1GH

Pros: -Looks -Zalman Fan -Can still overclock way beyond -Price -Crossfire

Cons: -For a few bucks more can get a better card - I like nvidea better -does not come with the crossfire bridge as show in the picture -the loudest GPU fan I have ever owned

Overall Review: This is a decent card for the price. It really does not compare to some of the nvidea cards that I have owned that fall within this same price range. I'm going to be crossfiring this baby soon since I bought two. Now I'm just waiting for the bridge to get here. But I heard this card rocks in crossfire. So i'm looking forward to that. Overall, not a bad card. It's great for the price. I've OC'd it to 760/1150 with no problem.

Buy It

SAMSUNG NF310-A01 Intel Atom N550(1.50 GHz) 10.1" 1GB DDR3 Memory 250GB HDD Netbook
SAMSUNG NF310-A01 Intel Atom N550(1.50 GHz) 10.1" 1GB DDR3 Memory 250GB HDD Netbook

Pros: -Resolution (best among any netbook out today) -Appearance -Speakers/Sound -Spacious keyboard -N555 Dual Core Processor

Cons: -No HDMI (seeing how capable this netbook is I'm surprised to see that they failed to include an HDMI output. - Metalic look is plastic of course and can scratch easy - Needs improvement on steaming capabilities. With the great specs on this netbook you may still experience some choppyness even with the upgraded RAM.

Overall Review: Because netbooks are limited in what they do I always have my eyes open for the best one. This one came out towards the end of 2010 but I look at the specs of even newer models and this one still smokes them. Especially because of the features listed above in the "Pros" section. If you have your chance to get your hands on this little baby then buy it!

Absolutely Wonderful

Pros: Upgraded a netbook hdd from 160gb to this baby. I'm completely satisfied. I was misinformed in the past about upgrading netbook hdd's (power usage and heat being the biggest argument) but that was rubbish. To be able to upgrade a netbook to this 500gb hdd you'll have all the files you need in your compact computer.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I noticed a slight increase in heat on my netbook but that's not a major con. The baby still runs fast and keeps my thighs nice and warm :)

Great Drive. Great Price

Pros: -Size -Looks -Speed -Price

Cons: -Cable to short

Overall Review: For the price this is a great drive. It's hard to pass it up at 20 bucks including shipping. I bought one and am thinking if getting another. This drive is faster than my 320gb WD that i bought about 2-3 years ago. You can't go wrong with this drive.

Amazing Speaker

Polk Audio Hitmaster Rockband Gaming Stage Monitor Loudspeaker

Pros: -Awesome quality. -Amazing Sound -Good Tweeter/speaker combination -Size of speaker (small) -Ability to daisy chain 2 or more speakers. -Loudness -Aux input for MP3 players/Ipod etc....

Cons: The Hitmaster logo is pretty cheesy. It has a real 80's feel to it. But with a quality speaker like this I wouldn't even care if it was pink! Another con is that they marketed this speaker towards gamers. In actuality this speaker can be used for a small home theater system.

Overall Review: I tried this out at a nearby electronics store and liked it. So i went home to look at prices and new egg had it on sale for 20 bucks cheaper. So I bought a few. There is nothing to not like about this little powerful speaker. It's clear, does not distort, and is light weight. I would recommend this speaker to anyone.
