Most Favorable Review

Good Value!

ASUS Radeon R7 240 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 Low Profile Video Card R7240-2GD3-L
ASUS Radeon R7 240 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 3.0 Low Profile Video Card R7240-2GD3-L

Pros: Played BF4 on low with an Athlon x2 overclocked to 3.5Ghz.

Cons: For what your paying for, none come to mind.

Overall Review: Bought this for a roommates computer so he could play Battlefield 4 with me (his nvidia 8600 couldnt keep up) and it can actually play Battlefield 4 with smooth framerates! (on lowest settings) Mission Accomplished!

Most Critical Review

Works for the price

Gear Head SP3500ACB 12w RMS 24w Peak 2.1 Powered Studio Speaker System
Gear Head SP3500ACB 12w RMS 24w Peak 2.1 Powered Studio Speaker System

Pros: Cheap. Works.

Cons: -NO Bass at all -Volume knob is on the sub -Power switch is on the BACK of the sub -Super bright LED on the sub makes me have to switch it off each night.

Overall Review: Why cant the power switch and volume knob be on the speakers that sit on the desk? This is very frustrating. If your not going to put the sub up on the desk next to you I wouldnt reccommend this.

Great in office build

Intel Celeron G1820 - Celeron Haswell Dual-Core 2.7 GHz LGA 1150 53W Intel HD Graphics Desktop Processor - BX80646G1820
Intel Celeron G1820 - Celeron Haswell Dual-Core 2.7 GHz LGA 1150 53W Intel HD Graphics Desktop Processor - BX80646G1820

Pros: Put this in a budget build designed for office tasks and I have yet to see it get under heavy load. Low power consumption. Haswell

Cons: Can only use up to DDR3-1333 mhz. Intel HD graphics are weak, but for basic use are not a problem.

Overall Review: Dual-Core haswell for $50. Cant complain

LED LIGHT NEVER TURNS OFF

LED Illuminated Ergonomic USB Wired Multimedia Blue/Red Backlit Switchable Brightness Adjustable Gaming Keyboard for PC Laptop
LED Illuminated Ergonomic USB Wired Multimedia Blue/Red Backlit Switchable Brightness Adjustable Gaming Keyboard for PC Laptop

Pros: it works backlighting is nice - has brightness adjustment knob

Cons: buttons are shallow, doesnt have as good of a feel as some of the better gaming keyboards out there. I probably couldve just bought a standard keyboard and had basically the same thing. I have yet to discover what makes this a "gaming" keyboard. Here is the kicker: As long as this thing is plugged in. the LED backlight will stay on. You would think that the lights would turn off when I shut down the computer or put it to sleep, but they dont, and its BRIGHT. Every night when I shut down my computer I have to also manually turn off the light on the keyboard. Its annoying, and why I only gave it 3 eggs.

Overall Review: OH WHY dont the lights go off when the computer is shut down???

Amazing!

SAMSUNG 23.6" TN LCD Monitor 5ms (GTG) 1920 x 1080 D-Sub, HDMI S24C300HL

Pros: This monitor really is amazing. Arrived PERFECT, no dead pixels, and the display is beautiful.

Cons: Doesnt come with an HDMI cable.

Great card!

ASUS Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card HD7870-DC2-2GD5-V2
ASUS Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card HD7870-DC2-2GD5-V2

Pros: Built a budget gaming PC for a friend and used this card paired with an fx-6300. Outstanding. Plays battlefield 4 on a mix of high/ultra in 1080p totally smooth, even during levolution events. 500w power supply is plenty for this beast.

Cons: Its BIG! But, I was able to fit it into a mid tower ATX just fine. A card this power cant be expected to be modest in size.

Overall Review: Depending on the day, sometimes you can find a R9 270X cheaper. This does not make since to me because the 270X uses the exact same GPU and has faster memeory. Get the 270X if you find it cheaper.
