kphippin says "Envision 22G218A1, a great affordable monitor " about Envision 22G218A1 Monitor

kphippin — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 03:00:54 GMT

This has been quite a good monitor. Had now for over 3 years with no issues. It doesn't support true 1080i/p, but no monitors did at the time this came out. Maximum resolution is 1050. Picture is clear and colors are realistic. Offering features of higher priced monitors for less.

kphippin says "Samsung SyncMaster 191T, An awesome monitor" about Samsung SyncMaster 191T+ Monitor

kphippin — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:53:44 GMT

I have had this monitor for over 7 years now with no issues.

I purchased this monitor when LCD's were rather expensive and was a little leary about getting it at the time.

Not any longer, it has outlasted any other monitor that I have ever purchased.

If you want quality, I suggest getting a Samsung monitor.

kphippin says "Another great Corsair memory product" about Corsair Memory TR3X6G1600C9 6 GB DDR3 SDRAM (4016138547504)

kphippin — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:45:11 GMT

This is another fine product by Corsair. Great for triple channel memory applications for the Intel i7 processor. This 1600 Mhz memory is great for those over-clocking needs.

Very stable and over-clockable. Another fine product by a leader in the industry.

Also having a lifetime warranty isn't bad either.

kphippin says "ASUS P6T Motherboard, a great motherboard" about ASUS P6T Motherboard

kphippin — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:39:10 GMT

This a great motherboard. Features 3-way SLI, and ExpressGate.

For those that don't know about ExpressGate...try to imagine that you have an issue and your one and only computer won't boot into the operating system. This would usually be a very big problem, no way to go online and talk to tech support.

With ExpressGate, your computer doesn't have to be able to boot into the OS, to get that support. Within 5 seconds of hitting the power switch, you can connect online or through Skype.

kphippin says "The NZXT Tempest is a great case w/ lots of features." about NZXT CS-NT-TEM-EVO TEMPEST EVO Black Enthusiast Steel Tower / Computer Case (Retail) Full Tower Case

kphippin — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:31:50 GMT

This case is a full size tower, which means plenty of room for anything that you may want to put in it.

This also means that it is rather large.

The average computer builder may want to get a smaller case.

This case offers lot of fans, 2 120's in front, 2 in top, 1 in rear, and a big 140 in the side window, plenty of airflow for that heat producing system. Also features snap in drive holders for easy tool-less drive swapping. Plenty of room to route cables under the motherboard tray so that they are out of sight.

kphippin says "Corsair has done it again" about Corsair Memory (CMPSU-750TX) 750-Watt Power Supply

kphippin — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:23:58 GMT

Another top quality product by Corsair. This 750w power supply packs the power you need in a very stable unit. All the cables you need for most users, support for up to 2 graphics cards, 6 or 8 pin connectors.

With a 5 year warranty, how can you go wrong? My last one lasted for over 7 years, running mostly 24/7.

kphippin says "Awesome graphics w/ a lifetime warranty" about BFG Technologies BFG GeForce GTX 260 OC MAXCORE 55 Video Card

kphippin — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:16:28 GMT

A great graphics card that won't break your budget, and it comes w/ a lifetime warranty too. All the features of the top of the line cards w/o the price. Feature Nvidia SLI, CUDA, and Physx, all i one card, not necessary to have more than one card.

kphippin says "Awesome audiophile quality wireless headphones." about Logitech - FreePulse Wireless Headphones

kphippin — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 02:10:22 GMT

These are by far the best headphones I have tried in years, and their wireless too. Sound quality is superb, nice crystal clear treble and clean sounding bass. Little to no distortion.

Since they took the original Sony MDR line of headphones off the market, there just isn't much to choose from.

Who can afford $200-300 for a decent set of headphones and still have a wire attached....

Costing a lot less and wireless to boot...

kphippin says "small portable storage" about Western Digital WD My Passport Essential 160GB Portable Hard Drive

kphippin — Tue, 05 May 2009 01:10:01 GMT

This is a small, pocket sized drive. Simple plug and play usb device, no ac adapter required.

Ability to store 160Gb of data elsewhere or to use as storage for system backups.

I reformated the drive to NTFS due to the 3-4 Gb file size restriction of Fat file system(comes formated FAT).

I primarily use it to store copies of cd's or dvd's.

Good little drive, no issues or data loss/corruption.

kphippin says "Big, solid, sturdy, dependable drive" about Western Digital Elements (WDE1UBK10000) 1 TB USB 2.0 Hard Drive

kphippin — Tue, 05 May 2009 01:01:00 GMT

This is a rather large drive. By no means a portable usb drive. It does require a ac adapter. Weighs about as much as a brick, lol.

A lot of people had issues with this, as seen in review on other sites.

This drive has plenty of room for file storage. Easy plug and play installation on xp or vista.

The drive come formatted FAT, may need to re-format to NTFS due to the 3-4 Gb file size restriction of FAT. Takes quite a while to do a full format on the drive, couple of hours.

Have had no isues with the drive and no failure or loss of data,

kphippin says "excellent router" about D-Link wrt160n

kphippin — Tue, 05 May 2009 00:49:28 GMT

An excellent router, have never had any issues with it. Simple to set up and configure, had it up and running in less time than the old g router that i used before it.
