Pretty Awesome for $700

Pros: Radeon HD 5470 built in GPU $700 bucks You can disable the mouse pad with a button on the top left Runs Dead Space 2 obviously.
Cons: BSOD'ed on me when I updated the ATI drivers, but came back to normal after a simple restart. gets a bit hot on the fan exhaust located on the upper left of case.
Overall Review: Pretty awesome laptop for the buy, I would recommend it to anyone looking for an overall laptop for anything or their first portable gaming rig. As you can see on the vid, I only have Dead Space 2 on it so far, I'm loading Portal 2, and Oblivion cuz I haven't finished Oblivion. (Sorry for the video quality, I did it on my phone, but I hope its enough to get a final thought.)
1st Stick failed

Pros: 16 GB 1866 mhz looks nice with the heatsinks
Cons: after a few minutes of playing dead island, started having serious system issues (BSOD, random lockups) did memtest 86+ and ran MEMok on my sabertooth 990FX Mobo to find out the 1st stick was faulty. Running 12 GB for now with no probs but going to call Newegg for replacement.
Overall Review: Also noticed this RAM wasn't QVLed for my board, not sure if that makes a huge difference
Good buy

Pros: A great external piece with all the adapters and programs needed to run your own DVR unit without taking up cardspace in a performance gaming PC. Easy to manage and flexible if you have a multiple PC's and very universal with anything HDMI or just regular RCA cables.
Cons: Theres about a 3-5 second lag to capturing video, this is a slight annoyance due to the fact I did have intentions of playing my Xbox setup on my PC. This is probably due to the USB 2.0 tranfser which I should have taken into consideration. 1 more USB port and 1 more outlet you have to use since it has to be powered seperatly and is NOT USB POWERED. Oh well no big deal for me yet others may find this bad.
Overall Review: I am very happy with this DVR due to its flexibility, the fact I can take it to anyones house and use it with my laptop makes this product a win. I don't like the video transfer lag which makes it impossible to play anything for example your Xbox, PS3 on your laptop screen or PC screen.
Not what I expected

Pros: more than 2 monitor support HDMI w/ audio handles all my games at highest settings dual fan setup OC'ed
Cons: Doesn't run the way I expected it to Could have added a 5th heat pipe
Overall Review: I wanted this card for more of a long run approach However the performance doesn't awe me as much as I thought it would, It runs Unigine at 40 to 50 fps on the average, but has a drop to 21 and a high of 150(on extreme setting with tessellation 16X). It has alot of eye candy but i would have expected more Also I am running a board (Sabertooth 990FX) with a PCI X 16 2.0 rather than a 3.0, and I'm running an X4 black edition AMD 3.6 so I could be bottlenecking. Finally the reason why I gave it three eggs instead of 5 is because my friend is running the same Sabertooth 990FX that I am. However he runs the Sapphire 7970 OCed which rated the lowest frame drop of 28 FPS. He is also running a dual core instead of a 4 and gskill sniper series memory
Great price, looks great

Pros: 1600 x 900 and 16:9 aspect 100 dollar range DVI and VGA port Lightweight !COMES WITH ALL THE NEEDED CABLES!
Cons: 20 inch, but not a big deal
Overall Review: I saw the dual set for only $200 so I ordered those for a set of spares. They look really nice, easy to setup and have them on dualview. The biggest thing which I love about this monitor is that it came with ALL the needed cables, DVI and VGA cables. Most of the monitors that I have purchased jip you on cables that you need, but ACER apparently is better than that, so with 2 monitors I have 2 VGA cables and 2 DVI cables, which can run you another 10 to 20 bucks a shot, I would give it 6 eggs just for that reason
Perfect

Pros: Modular SLI & Xfire CERTIFIED 1050w of power Sata and 4-pin connectors
Cons: none so far
Overall Review: Its great if you plan on going for a high end SLI or Xfire setup, plus can power your silly lights like I have
