Gel Mouse Pad w/Wrist Rest, Nonskid Base, 8-1/4 x 9-5/8, Black

Gel Mouse Pad w/Wrist Rest, Nonskid Base, 8-1/4 x 9-5/8, Black
 
This review is from: Gel Mouse Pad w/Wrist Rest, Nonskid Base, 8-1/4 x 9-5/8, Black
This is definitely a great mouse pad for those who works with computer all the time.
The wrist support is so comfortable and it's great for those who have wrist injuries(like me).

Ok before you buy this, i want to tell you that this mouse pad is a bit smaller than the regular 4 square mouse pad that we got it for free. I have a big mouse, G500, so i have to get use to the reduced size. I have small hands so it will work it out for me in a while. But for those who have big hands and+ a big mouse, then you might want to reconsider your mouse pad. If you are using it for regular uses(surfing the web etc) then this is the PERFECT choice. If you are a gamer it is still do-able. But i wouldnt recommend this to a extreme gamer. After all this is not a gaming mouse pad. The wrist support just limits your mouse's movement. But still this is a great mouse pad.

P.S. This mouse pad's surface is very smooth. You will feel little friction when you move your mouse.

EVGA H55V Micro ATX Mainboard 111-CD-E630-TR 

I got this for a windows home server build up. It started up first time, no problem. I am still burning in the server, so I only have one hdd, and the dvd drive (sata) attached. I am running the 13-530 and its pretty fast on 4 gigs of ram, at least for server duties. Will update soon.

Oh, no bios overclocking as far as I can see. I am just using for home server, though it may see some media center duties. i am sure it will be more than adequate for that. Right now it is displaying 1680 x 1050 (i think) and it looks great. 
 

Intel Core i7 Processor i7-930 2.80GHz 8 MB LGA1366 CPU, Retail BX80601930.

The Intel Core i7-930 processor combines the power of four 2.80 GHz computing cores into a single processor, guaranteeing enough processing power for the most demanding applications. With 8 MB of smart cache, the Core i7-930 processor ensures that you get maximum responsiveness from your system, even when several intensive programs run simultaneously. Compatible with motherboards based on the Intel X58 Express chipset, the Core i7-930 processor takes your computing and gaming experience to the next level. 

Intel Core i7 Processor i7-930 2.80GHz 8 MB LGA1366 CPU, Retail BX80601930 

Processors are pretty much a commodity, what really matters is how much you get for you money. In the i7 line this model currently is in a good spot. Going down one step to a 920 only save $10-20 but going up to a 940 will set you back $250. You can spend $1000 for a top of the line Intel i7 and only see a slight improvement in most Windows applications. The high-end processors are really targeted for servers and not desktops anyway. You can save about $100 and step down to a i5 but you will lose quite a bit of performance. Prices can change from week to week, so be sure and check to see if these numbers are still valid.

The primary difference between the i7 and other processors like the i5, or AMD processors for that matter, is how memory is accessed. The i7 uses triple-channel memory that is accessed directly instead of via external support chips which speeds things up a lot.

Be aware that the latest Intel chips use the LGA1366 socket and the i5 uses LGA1156, so you have a much better upgrade path with the i7 later on. If you build a i7 computer, make sure you chip and motherboard have the same socket!

With any of these processors you really should get a 3rd party heatsink; it will keep you processor cooler making for a more stable and longer living system.

Intel Core i5 750 Processor 2.66 GHz 8 MB LGA1156 CPU I5-750BOX

A budget-friendly alternative to Intel's i7 line, the Intel Core i5-750 processor provides robust performance for all your office, gaming, and multimedia needs. It combines the power of four 2.66 GHz computing cores into a single processor, guaranteeing enough processing power for the most demanding applications. With 8 MB of smart cache, the Core i5-750 processor ensures that you get maximum responsiveness from your system, even when several intensive programs run simultaneously.

Intel Core i5 750 Processor 2.66 GHz 8 MB LGA1156 CPU I5-750BOX 

Specifications: Mfr Part Number: BX80605I5750, Process Type: Intel Core i5 Processor i5-750, Frequency: 2.66 GHz, FSB: 2.5 GT/s, Cache: 8 MB, Process: 45 nm, Socket: LGA 1156, TDP: 95W, Package: Retail, This processor is a Quad Core Processor, This processor support Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology, This processor supports Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T), This processor supports Intel Virtualization Technology, This processor supports Enhanced Halt State (C1E), This processor supports Execute Disable Bit Capability .

This processor is part of a ground up gaming build that I've done and upon completion this little baby rocks. It is very fast and will quickly prove itself as something incredibly difficult to bog down. I don't think that I have been able to push this processor to its limits yet and believe me I've tried. I wouldn't waste your money or time considering a faster 1156 processor unless you have *EVERY* possible bottleneck accounted for. Believe me you won't be dissapointed.

 Logitech G19 Programmable Gaming Keyboard with Color Display


Short Review (if you don't want to read all that):

I give it a 4 1/2 stars. The keys feel nice and mushy. The LCD is no doubt really awesome to have for any multi-tasking person. I feel the features on the video player/YouTube player is missing some basic options and that is why I'm not giving it a 5-star (although this could all change with new apps or updates). Overall, the keyboard is for any gadget lovers/video enthusiasts/YouTube fans -- not just gamers. The macro G-keys, as usual in previous keyboards, is also a powerful tool for anyone wanting to work more efficiently, and again, not just for gaming.

This review is from: XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR5 PCIE Graphics Card HD577AZNFC (Electronics)
My very first true graphics card was a Radeon rage 128 with like 8 or 16mb video ram. I have gone through many Radeon cards and for 180$ this is one hell of a card. Lets face it not many, if none games today support direct x 11 however my nvidia 9800gt did not support my Panasonic resoultion which was because my 9800GT didn't have a HDMI output connector. The fact is when I grew tired of the Radeon 5850 being out of stock I bought this card and so far hooked to a Panasonic 46" plasma it has performed outstandingly. If you want maximum performance wait for the 5850 for 5870 but the fact remains 180$ for a graphics card with direct 11 and capable of running L4D at full 1920X1080 resoultion is remarkable. This card almost didn't fit into my NZXT cases so be prepares it requires some room, for this price this card is outstanding and its in stock woot :). I am not a nerd nor going to give anyone a pros or cons verdict. Fact is I'am a gamer so for 180$ this is a great deal and lets face it ladies and gentle men why should anyone pay more than 200$ for a graphics when it will be outdated within a year? Too many manufactures are looking for profit with no gain to consumer experience, all I have to say is watch what you spend and remember corruptions are looking out for any amount of money they can acquire, was this card worth the $180? So far yes but beyond $200$is insane especially considering a x-box is $200.

Review.
This review is from: New 14.1" BrightView Glossy LCD Screen for HP Compaq Pavilion DV2000 DV2100 DV2200 DV2300 DV2400 DV2500 Series Laptops
I cracked my computer screen on a vacation and was going to buy a new computer until I realized how easy it was to replace the screen! And this is a really good price! I fixed it all by myself (except for the help from my boyfriend...okay, a lot of help from my boyfriend) and now it's like it's brand new (except it's like 4 years old).
Good deal, even if you don't have any mechanical/fixing stuff skills.
