Great deal
Pros: Nice, sharp image. I have spent more for monitors with lower image quality. Built in speakers are convenient depending on your application.
Cons: The front panel controls are a bit inconvenient. To turn down the volume, you have to tap the Volume Down button and then tap the Brightness Up button while the volume dialog is displayed. For a monitor with built in speakers , it is sort of illogical and pretty inconvenient (Especially in the dark) to have such a specific process just to change the volume.
Overall Review: This is a really, really nice monitor for the price. The image quality is better than the price suggests.
Worth what it costs
Pros: It's only $18. It is better than the standard game controller for controlling movie playback.
Cons: Reception sucks. You have to be within about 10 feet and point it right at the xbox. When I programmed it for my TV, it got all confused and didn't work until I reprogrammed. Not terribly useful beyond just controlling video playback.
Excellent card for the price
Pros: - Can play most current games with all graphics options turned all the way up at 1920x1080 and 60 fps. Most games are fine at higher frame rates too. - Supports dual monitors with no problems. - HDMI output is flexible and useful.
Cons: - Some of the most graphically intense games will tax it a bit and force you down to 30 fps and maybe have to pull back to "high" instead of "ultra" for some graphics options. - Needs a decent power supply. (duh)
Overall Review: This is an excellent card for any system at the price. Hardcore gamers might not love it, but they already know what they want. If you're a casual gamer but you still prefer to play most games at their best, this is a great card for you. It's really a great card for non-gamers too as it has been really reliable and given me zero problems whatsoever.
Good cable
Pros: I work with cables a lotin my line of work, and for the price of thiscable I was expecting a little less than what I got. The physical construction of the cable is very nice and I expect thiscable will last quite a while.
Cons: Absolutely zero.
Overall Review: Please don't let the prices or bull from sales people at retail elecgtronic stores convince you that there is any difference between their $50 (And more) HDMI cables and these. This is digital signal being transmitted a few feet. You just need simple cable like this one.
Great deal
Pros: It would be hard to beat this price for 250GB. The drive inside seems very solid and the case keeps it cool.
Cons: No firewire.
Overall Review: It does make sound during reads/writes, but I haven't encountered a drive than doesn't do that. This drive doesn't seem to be any louder than any other external drive of this size that I've used.
Item as described
Great experience with this sale. I ordered a refurbished PC and it came earlier than I expected and it was all very clean and properly configured. No problems at all. Would buy from them again.
