Pros: Blows onboard sound out of the water. Installation was easy and drivers worked after one restart. Sound quality is absolutely tremendous for this price. Software included is powerful and allows for easy customization, great for switching between movies, games, and music.

Cons: Included documentation is pretty lousy, especially coming from Asus. Doesn't indicate if you're supposed to disable onboard sound before or after the driver installation. Figured it out with some trial-and-error restarts. Not enough to knock off an egg.

Overall Review: HD sound for 50 bucks. I'm using a Steelseries Siberia V2 which is working wonderfully with this card.

Pros: Creature/vehicle creators are awesome. Each phase is fun for a few minutes (the space phase being an exception)

Cons: then turns into repetitive tasks which are gruelingly un-fun. This game seems like there was some crummy gameplay added onto a very solid editing tool. I wish that you did not even have to touch a stage besides space. I found that tribal stage was just terrible, and I could not wait to get through with it.

Overall Review: The DRM is a very reasonable response to people who illegally download PC games. 99% of users won't install the game three times, and I feel it is perfectly reasonable to make a phone call and tell a sales rep a 15 character code in order to get your installs back. If this is what it takes to stop piracy, so be it. I don't understand why people are so up in arms about it, it is essentially bit of malware except it has no negative effects. Your computer will not suffer from installing this game.

Pros: 144 Hz is such a significant jump from a standard 60 Hz monitor. I was skeptical at first, and was debating between this 24" @ 144 Hz or a 27" @ 60 Hz. I made the right choice. Games are liquid smooth, even when running at lower framerates. You will really be able to tell the difference, and after going 144 Hz it is difficult to return to a 60 Hz display. Apart from the 144 Hz, the monitor itself is gorgeous. The stand is solid and well-designed.

Cons: Bezel of the monitor itself is thick, not thick enough to knock off an egg.

Overall Review: This monitor is the center display in my triple-header setup. The outer two monitors are 23.5" ASUS 60 Hz monitors.

Pros: 1 ms response time rocks for gaming Ultra-thin bezel, great for multi-screen setups Lightweight, great for mounting Has speakers* Price is competitive

Cons: *Speakers are as good as you would expect from a monitor. Not great, but who cares.

Overall Review: Absolutely not worth knocking an egg off for the speaker quality; it's a monitor not a headset. Can hook up to an xbox or playstation to serve as a sound solution. I've got two more of these on the way for a triple-monitor setup. Can't wait.

Pros: This thing rocks. What's not to love, 240gb of solid state memory. Replaced a 7200rpm hdd in my Dell Vostro 3500, and the performance difference is staggering. This SSD gave my laptop new life.

Cons: Paid 120$ for it on sale, but you can easily find 240/256gb solid states for closer to 100$. Crucial is a good brand so I don't feel too bad for paying a little extra.

Pros: Worked exactly as advertised. Massive performance upgrade from the 4gb standard kit.

Cons: NONE

Overall Review: Purchased for use in a Dell Vostro 3500. Totally compatible.
