Outstanding Card

MSI GeForce GTX 260 896MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N260GTX-T2D896 OC
MSI GeForce GTX 260 896MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N260GTX-T2D896 OC

Pros: Runs cooler than my 8800GTX. Uses less power than my 8800GTX did. Games play better as in several games such as Age Of Conan I can now fully max every single graphic slider in the game. Can finally play Crysis @ 1920x1200 with high settings.

Cons: Can't think of any right now.

Information on product

DELL Desktop Computer 790 Intel Core i5-2400 4GB DDR3 250GB HDD Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
DELL Desktop Computer 790 Intel Core i5-2400 4GB DDR3 250GB HDD Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Pros: Intel i5 2nd gen, upgradeable to 16gb of RAM

Cons: 2 RAM slots, the case is not a Tower case as is listed, this is a mini form factor case, just look up Dell 790 Optiplex on the Dell website, you can not fit a normal sized videocard in this case. Has to be low profile. You can not fit a normal sized power supply in this case.

Overall Review: This seller does not want the buyer to know how tiny this case is and so lists the case as a Tower case. Also no picture, it is obvious the seller does not want anyone to know the actual form factor of this case.

Very Happy With Purchase

DELL Optiplex 790 Tower PC Intel Core i5-2400 3.1Ghz, 4GB, 250GB, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit,  1 YEAR WARRANTY
DELL Optiplex 790 Tower PC Intel Core i5-2400 3.1Ghz, 4GB, 250GB, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit, 1 YEAR WARRANTY

Pros: The seller shipped the Computer right away. Even though this was a refurbished computer, you really could not tell it was a refurb, their was just a small scrape on one side, and you really had to look to see it. The computer also runs much better than I expected it too. The 2nd Generation i5's are still plenty fast and the kids at the house love the computer.

Cons: Only comes with 4gb of Memory but I am fixing that issue as we speak. Only has integrated Intel video.

Overall Review: The company that does the refurb on these models is excellent.

Great Deal!

Pros: Absolute beautiful picture quality for a TV at this price. Dark darks, bright whites.

Cons: The Sound is not on par with the picture quality.

Overall Review: Buy a cheap pair of speakers, either PC (the TV has a headphone out jack) or a decent pair of shelf speakers and the TV is perfect.

Most Stable N router I've used so far

Linksys WRT160N Wireless Broadband Router 802.11b/g/n up to 300Mbps/ 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port x4
Linksys WRT160N Wireless Broadband Router 802.11b/g/n up to 300Mbps/ 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Port x4

Pros: Stable connection, long range as I can get a connection just about anywhere in my house with my laptop and the N adapter I bought for the laptop.

Cons: Setup disk was overkill and was not needed.

Overall Review: After plugging it in I did a firmware update to update it to the newest firmware. I have a feeling the people getting dropped connections have done improper network setups are are attempting to use Laptops/Desktops with Wireless G adapters in them instead of N adapter and since G adapter have a range of 120 feet versus 400 feet they are getting dropped connections.

Decent product

RiDATA 8.5GB 8X DVD+R DL Inkjet White Hub Printable (non stacking ring) 25 Packs Spindle Disc Model DRD+858-RDIWN-CB25
RiDATA 8.5GB 8X DVD+R DL Inkjet White Hub Printable (non stacking ring) 25 Packs Spindle Disc Model DRD+858-RDIWN-CB25

Pros: Inexpensive dual-layer DVD's with a printable surface all the way to the hub. Everything printed on them looks beautiful.

Cons: My Pioneer DVR-109 Burner sees these as 2.4x Dual-Layer disks and my Sony DRU-830A only sees the disks as 6x and sometimes burns incorrectly to the disks @ 6x.

Overall Review: Would purchase the disks again as it is very difficult to find Dual-Layer DVD's with a printable surface all the way to the hub.
