Pros: XFX has amazing customer service. The fan in my XFX 6870 blew its bearing (stopped spinning, made a grinding noise) and XFX replaced it with this brand new 7850. It is significantly better and saved me the money of upgrading to a 660 or 7870 myself. The 7850 is perfectly adequate for even high settings in Crysis 3 at 1080p. I have not found the 1 gb of VRAM to be limiting at all. Even better the card is completely silent, much quieter than any other video card I've ever owned and seems to stay reasonably cool. OpenCL support is nice.

Cons: No CUDA or PhysX (obviously). The catalyst drivers are bloated and obnoxious.

Overall Review: I think one of the biggest myths around is that video card quality is measured by the size of their video ram. This card does a very good job busting that myth providing excellent performance with only a gig of VRAM.

Pros: Feels great, all buttons feel "right", I love the shape, good weight and able to customize the weight is even better. Coming from a G5, it feels just like a mouse should.

Cons: The one thing you expect to be flawless from a mouse it the left click. When I hold down left click (for example when drawing the bow in Crysis 3) the mouse spontaneously releases the key 4-6 seconds after pressing it. This issue is sporadic but enough to be very annoying and making the mouse less than useful for gaming. It also sometimes double clicks when it should single click. The cord is easy to kink.

Overall Review: For a mouse this expensive one should expect a bit more on the primary functionality of it.

Pros: Moves good quantities of air for the absolute lowest possible price.

Cons: Noisy. About half of the ones I've owned have failed after about a year of use, the bearings just go and they make a horrible grinding noise.

Pros: This is my favorite keyboard. I have used many and always come back to the good old trusty Microsoft Ergonomic 4000. In fact, I have a stockpile of three of these in case Microsoft stops making them. I absolutely adore the layout. The key press is nice and springy and it doesn't make too much noise to press. Have I mentioned it's ergonomic?

Cons: Some could argue the keys are mushy (but I think they're just right). The S,L,C, and B keys are starting to wear off which is really no problem but doesn't hint the best in quality. I had previously had one of these that broke, I am on my second one, though the other lasted ~2 years. This one is going on 3.

Overall Review: I just love this keyboard's layout. If other companies made similar ergonomic split layouts, Microsoft might have a competitor, but right now this is pretty much the only act in town.

Pros: OK transfer speed, reliable technically Has 4gb, as advertised (of course) Cheap No cap to lose

Cons: The 'Capless design' which should really be a plus, is, unfortunately poorly designed. After a long amount of heavy use (it sits in my pocket, and I fiddle with it) It is easy to jam in the closed position, sometimes requiring a screwdriver to open. I feel that this would happen with normal use, even if I did not use it in an unusual use pattern.

Overall Review: It looks nice, I bought two of them; the NAND inside is still going strong.

Pros: Big screen, good resolution Cheap, easily one of the cheapest in the 23/24" range Generally good colors

Cons: Now, where do I start: First, the thing that makes me the most angry about this monitor, with "2ms" response time, is the fact that an enormous amount of ghosting occurs. Anywhere from scrolling down a page to moving a window around the screen creates a large ghost trail behind it. Maybe I have a bad monitor, or oversensitive eyes, but I don't know how other people don't see this. For an example gamewise, I have seen ghost trails on bullets in Bad Company 2. The second issue is the leaking. When the monitor is supposed to be showing a black screen, it has white light leaking through on all sides. And not just a little bit, it is definitely distracting when watching dark movies, or playing darker games. Another issue is that there is a very poor viewing angle; if you are anything off center, colors are very distorted. The final issue is the control scheme: The buttons are extremely unintuitive, and the on-screen menu is even worse.

Overall Review: In all, I was hoping to get a cheap, large, and good monitor for gaming. Unfortunatly, whether it be that I got a bad monitor, or that Asus is advertising specs falsely. This monitor is pretty bad in just about every regard.
