Works well

OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2RPR800C44GK
OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2RPR800C44GK

Pros: Plugged it in and it worked fine, albeit at 5 cas. Went into bios and set it to 4 and i think just that worked, but also set 4-4-4-15 CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS just in case.

Cons: They are kind of tall, a bit of a pain when working around a new computer getting things the way you like. I'd still buy them again tho- good heat dissipation and I don't work around the inside of the thing now that it's set up.

Overall Review: Sticking w/ 4GB for now, maybe i'll try 8 later. Windows 7 experience index of 7.4 was highest rated part of system for a while, now i got all 7.4's tho except hard drive

ok so far

Pros: works fine so far, no nvidia, just intel graphics which from what I've heard about nvidia this is a plus. Unit seems pretty fast.

Cons: Received w/ dead 6 cell battery which i bought a $25 9 cell replacement for, but came w/ 4 gb of memory so I won't demerit an egg for battery issue.

Overall Review: I bought it for backup so haven't used it much, getting a nexus 7 for frequent carry use(I ride a bike), so far this thing works fine, business laptop, mono speaker, makes phone calls fine. 80 GB hdd. Unit looks like it was on shelf or something; doesn't look new but no visible signs of wear.

nice

Pros: They sound great; I did the "felt mod" and a little better even. They have decent soundstage for this price, which makes them outstanding for movies and games so u can tell where sounds are coming from(front, back). Good for music too.

Cons: They are pretty comfortable at first but can get hot depending on how hot the room is, pleather is usually like that. If the room is cool it's not much of a problem. My medium sized ears now touch up against the driver guard or whatever., some adjusting usually takes care of it.

Overall Review: Overall i can wear them for pretty long before i need to take them off for a bit, prolly better than most phones like this. There's also a mod where u put some gel or more foam in the pads, might do that sometime. They are awesome for movies, music, and games in an apt. for the price.

OK for money

LOGISYS Computer PS575XBK 575W ATX12V SLI Ready   Power Supply
LOGISYS Computer PS575XBK 575W ATX12V SLI Ready Power Supply

Pros: Worked ok for about a year

Cons: fried at 13 months

Overall Review: I'd say this psu is worth the money, it powered my overclocked, phenom II x3 (unlocked to 4 core) and a gtx 260 for about 13 months, then died; didn't fry anything don't think. Hey, $150 psus fry in a year sometimes too. I'm buying an ocz w/ a 3 year warranty on sale next tho, they sometimes fry in a year too if u read the reviews.

Works well

ASUS VK246H Black 24" HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 1000:1 (ASCR 20000:1 ) Built-in Speakers w/ 1.3m Pixel Webcam

Pros: Looks great, very.... wide, great stats

Cons: Webcam isn't the best, asus cam software doesn't work w/ windows 7 64-bit or any 64-bit don't think, color and other settings are kind of off from factory- prolly the case w/ most monitors, but on this one maybe a little more off than most, the "splendid" presets button usually doesn't work that well.

Overall Review: Many other webcam software will work w/ built-in webcam, like the first 3 non asus cam softwares detected usb cam and it works fine. This monitor is exact same screen height(~11 3/4") as my non-wide screen LG 19". Not a con at all, but if i had had the $ i'd have got the 27.5" hanns-g which is significantly taller. None of the cons made be dock an egg, i'm VERY happy w/ what i got.

Rosewill RKM-800RF 2.4 GHz Cordless Slim Keyboard and Mouse Combo
Rosewill RKM-800RF 2.4 GHz Cordless Slim Keyboard and Mouse Combo

Pros: Great range, like the short throw keyboard keys- like a laptop, about as small as a keyboard of this type can be. Great mouse- nothing too special about it- nothing especially bad about it and it feels great and is simple, feels solid. true wireless- tiny usb dongle has great range.

Cons: Mouse runs through batteries but I use it constantly, it and keyboard only take 1 aa battery each so that's ok. The keyboard 'sleeps' pretty quick after not using it, messes me up sometimes b/c it will type 1st key pressed waking up but misses a couple after. still haven't quite got to where i automatically expect it but getting there. Helps battery life guess and once typing it works w/o fault. Mouse sleeps too but to me it's not as noticeable.

Overall Review: Was going to give this 3 or 4 stars- i like it but inland brand makes a copy of this for $20 or something, dunno if it's as good tho. But i spilled a bunch of stuff on my keyboard and many keys weren't working. Almost wrote it off as loss of kb but i put it in soapy water for a day, swishing it around from time to time, dried it for 2-3 days and now it works again. I've done this before w/o success, tho i've usually tried the dishwasher. But i'm so thrilled that kb came back like lazarus i'd give it 6 stars.
