rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - I'm going to briefly touch on a few points before I give you my exact thoughts so you will first see where I'm coming from.

Price: cheap! Only $899.99 after $100 mail in rebate. You would be hard up to find a complete desktop unit...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - I love fast computers and therefore I keep mine up to date. My old card was great (Asus 7700/ 32meg ddr gts) but I had reached the limits of what it could do.

Behold! The arrival of Geforce 3! I had read much about this card before it's...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - _I had just bought a new computer and ripped out its Nvida Vanta (16 meg) video card and replaced it with a Radeon Ve (32 meg DDR). I ran that card for some time so all comments will be in comparison to that card.

_First, I have read all the reviews...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - _I needed to buy a video camera fairly badly and fairly quickly, but I still did my homework before buying this one. I decided to do away with the old VHS style and go with something much smaller. Also, I loved the bigger color LCD screens that the newer...

A "Sure Shot" for most people, beginner or otherwise!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - _I had always loved photography but moving to digital posed a few problems, but at the same time had many benefits over conventional photography. At the time that I started "playing" with digital, picture quality was nowhere near 35mm. Also, cameras were...

Gamers dream!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - OK, so it might not have started out as the gamers dream, but this computer is HIGHLY upgradeable. I had just moved out of the HP 6740c (very small case, NOT upgradable!) when I bought this one. I was tickled pink with the size and power of this monster...

Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum: Is it live or is it "LIVE!"?

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - _I hate to be completely one sided on my opinions, but it will be hard to be anything less in this opinion. I am a serious gamer but have always used the "on board" sound for my games hooked to a decent speaker system. When I did decide to upgrade my...

2 years and not a hitch

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - What can I say? I have had this TV for about two years now and it hasn't given me so much as a single problem so far. It's been banged around during two moves and still has a great picture and the sound is better then most TV's it's size (19").

A year, and I still don't know if I like it.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - When I saw it in the store, I just had to have it. My first choice in a joystick didn't work with my computer so I had to find another and this was the one I chose.

Please note that I am a serious gamer and my opinions will reflect this. If you use...

A real bang for the buck!

I recently bought a $250 "all in one" to replace this scanner and I wish I hadn't. This scanner has excelent resolution and vibrant colors. Also, it is very quick if you...

All of what in one?!

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - I have always loved the HP hardware and when it came time to buy a new printer, I chose the HP 720. This "all in one" replaced a Visioneer 6200 (2400 dpi) USB flat-bed scanner and a Lexmark Z12 color USB printer (1200 dpi). I liked the old hardware but...

An HP monitor without the HP price.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - I had just upgraded my computer and monitor (old one being a HP computer and a generic monitor) and really wanted this system to look good so I decided to buy all HP. I was only interested in the 17" models as that was what I had before and was happy...

Nothing better for the price

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - I do my homework when I'm about to buy something, and this was no exception. I went to a large electronics superstore (Best Buy) and tested all the speakers they had there. I went there looking to spend no more then $100 and found some very impressive...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author clbrunson - I was not by any means new to computers when I bought this one but I had always run "out of date" computers. This was my first, new purchase. I was very impressed with what I got for the money. I went out looking for a computer that had a little of...
