Purchased For Use In Eyefinity

VisionTek 900341 Mini DisplayPort to SL DVI-D Active Adapter (M/F)
VisionTek 900341 Mini DisplayPort to SL DVI-D Active Adapter (M/F)

Pros: Nothing more than it works! I purchased this for use in Eyefinity and it does just that. Great cable. See "Other Thoughts" for photographic proof the adapter works with Eyefinity. Crysis 3 @ 5040x900 -Compared to other locations (re-sellers) this is a great price.

Cons: GO NEWEGG!

Overall Review: Adapter was not purchased at Newegg unfortunately. This is also a great price. Mine was purchased for $30 at a retail store that has a large cat that you would find at a zoo in the name. I purchased this DIRECTLY at the retail store and their price matching is horrible. Links are directly to photos of my setup. You can clearly see I have the VisionTek mDP to DVI ACTIVE adapter plugged into my HD7950 leading into my far left monitor. I have Crysis 3 running to show that the Eyefinity does indeed work with this adapter. What more proof can you ask for?

Great Cards Require Lengthy Reviews - Update

PowerColor AX7950 3GBD5-2DHV4 Radeon HD 7950 Boost State 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
PowerColor AX7950 3GBD5-2DHV4 Radeon HD 7950 Boost State 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Pros: Overclocked to 1075/1425 and I feel comfortably there with temps and everything. The card has held up very well since I have had it and Powercolor even offers a 2-year warranty if anything goes wrong. -Temps are very decent (AS LONG AS YOU HAVE PROPER AIRFLOW) -Speeds are amazing on stock fan and stock voltage -Very good for any game you throw at it and handling overclocking

Cons: None

Overall Review: Individuals in previous reviews are complaining about the direction of the card and thus have clearly never installed or seen a GPU before. All GPUs on an ATX MOBO will have the fans facing down, they are never different. If installed in a case they will always face down. I have mine in a mid-tower Cooler Master Elite 420 and have no issues keeping the temps under 70c, in fact I am running Crysis 3 at 5040x900 (eyefinity for those that don't know) overclocked to 1075/1425 and my temp is currently 65c. That is not high for a GPU handling all the processing of demanding games. This is a great card and Powercolor has an excellent staff.

Great Monitor For $100

Acer G205HVbd Black 20" 5ms  Widescreen LCD Monitor 200 cd/m2 ACM 5,000:1 (700:1)
Acer G205HVbd Black 20" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 200 cd/m2 ACM 5,000:1 (700:1)

Pros: I currently have two and I plan on getting my third for eyefinity. The quality is quite nice and they tilt. The viewing angles are not bad as some have mentioned. Mine do not even become negative until you are literally dead onto the side of the monitor, I don't ever sit over to use my PC in the first place. -Cheap

Cons: The whites are a bit off but it hasn't made enough of an effect for me to knock an egg. They only support 1600x900. Not a major drawback, especially when you're running three in eyefinity or surround but still worth mentioning.

Overall Review: Great buy for not alot of dough

Great Keyboard

Logitech G110 LED Backlighting Gaming Keyboard

Pros: Haven't used the macros for much but the keyboard itself is awesome. I got this on sale for $35 with free shipping and it was a steal. Key press are not loud although I do prefer a mechanical over this. Still it is an awesome non-expensive alternative.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Buy it?

12" EPS 8-Pin Extension

KINGWIN PCI-02 1 ft. EPS 12V 8-Pin Power Extension Cable Female to Male
KINGWIN PCI-02 1 ft. EPS 12V 8-Pin Power Extension Cable Female to Male

Pros: Works just like it was meant to. I have read some people thought it was a PCI-E 8-pin adapter but it is an EPS extension for an already 8-pin cable. -Adds the length you need -Sleeved -Works great

Cons: It does what it was meant to do!

Overall Review: Great buy!

Fans Do What Fans Do

Cooler Master Sleeve Bearing 120mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators (Value 2-Pack)
Cooler Master Sleeve Bearing 120mm Blue LED Silent Fan for Computer Cases, CPU Coolers, and Radiators (Value 2-Pack)

Pros: Run fairly quiet but I have not tested them individually among the 8 in my system. They push a decent amount of air as well. I used one to do the push pull configuration on my CoolerMaster Heatsink and decreased my temps by 2 degrees, nothing major but none the less it was an increase. -Great price for two -Clear case and nice blue LEDs -Fairly quiet -Pushes a fair amount of air

Cons: Does what it was meant to do

Overall Review: Great bundle
