I hooked this up with my 42" and my Sony HT-SS2000 and it works fine. Now when my home theater is on my HDTV outputs the sound through my 5.1 home theater system. This cable works no problems, looks good, and the cable clip it comes with is a plus. Great sound is all I want and this cable gave it to me.
What's great about it: Get full sorround sound from your cable channels
What's not so great: None really

This is a great drive. Has good read and write times and a 5 year warranty from a name like Seagate I'm sold. I currently use this for data storage and system back up. Only problem I have with this drive is that I can't find any information on this model from Seagate's website nor can I register it for the warrany. The site reports it as an error though and not that the serial number is invalid. I've already owned this for about 3 weeks and it works fine but I'll be more confident in this drive if I got the warranty to back it up. Otherwise this is a great hard drive, plenty of room for movies, music, and whatever else you plan on using it for.
What's great about it: Works fine, plenty of storage space
What's not so great: Discontinued?

Excellent HDD. Installed Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit with no problem. It's pretty fast and I don't hear it at all but then again the sound may be muffled a bit by my computers fans. Got this HDD for my custom build on sale (for a mere hundred dollars haha!) and not one bit dissapointed. Very useful cloning software if you plan to upgrade your PC. For the price and space you get it's almost five star but like I said in my cons it can't quite beat Western Digital's Velociraptor 10,000RPM HDD, but for the price it's a very good trade off. I got this running in my Rocketfish computer case, Gigabyte M750SLI-DS4 motherboard, AMD Athlon 6400+ dual-core CPU, 8GB of OCZ DDR2 1088 RAM, BFG Tech 8800 GT OC graphics card, HP CD/DVD +/-R DL disk burner, BFG Tech 650 watt PSU. All this cost me under a $1,000 as oppose to buying a name brand system like HP or Gateway. This hard drive rocks.
What's great about it: Great performance at a great price
What's not so great: There are faster HDDs

Action Packed
on June 30, 2008
Posted by: M13a
from Port Jefferson Station, NY
This game is truly amazing. Very similar to New York City (I travel to NYC a lot) but not as big so the awe in size is not as much. Though Liberty City is big enough to get lost in. I still don't fully know my way around even though I've owned this game since the day of the release. Though it's not tough to navigate the city and the cab rides only cost pennies. Each street has a name but it's only shown in your info display and not on the light post like in real life. Game play is superb. High speed chases are amazing. The action is intense and the story is very good. The controls are very good and suit this game very well. Only cons are the public transport (the LTA) is still bad and you can't walk around on board a train. Also there is no bus routes to take you around. There are only few places to shop and only a few things to buy. Hopefully though there will be upgrades to add to the life of this game. Online action is simply amazing. Never ending fun. If you got some creative friends the possibilities are endless. Overall Grand Theft Auto IV is an amazing story with excellent game play. A must have.
What's great about it: Great controls, excellent story, rich detail
What's not so great: Some things you might miss from San Andreas

As he hunts down archnemesis Liquid Ocelot, Snake's packing the deadliest weapons and touting the most impressive abilities of his career. See if he can enter enemy territory undetected amidst the chaos of battle. Should Snake fail in his final mission, civilization will pay a terrible price: world domination.Combine stealth, strategy and combat to achieve your goals. Know when to aid local militia in the fight and when to let the battle rage on so you can use the chaos as cover. As you infiltrate enemy territory, don the OctoCamo stealth suit to match seamlessly with your environments. You can also rely on your contact, Otacon, to give you the new Mk. II reconnaissance tool as well as the Solid Eye, which provides vital stats on enemies and your surroundings. Visit Drebin on the black market and trade for bigger, badder weapons. The more you trade, the more custom weapons and modifications you'll unlock. Once you have the firepower, feel free to unleash it on waves of invading PMC soldiers.

Simply Amazing

This game rocks. A must have if you have played Metal Gear Solid from the original PSone release. Also if you have never played Metal Gear Solid before you'll love it, easy to learn controls and great story though if you are new you'll be lost at times. The story is genius with game play to match. Being stealthy is just so much fun and the combat is just as impressive. Also if you have 5.1 surround sound this game really shines. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriot is truly a masterpiece and a great end to a story that took over ten years to tell.
What's great about it: The conclusion to a great series
What's not so great: None at all

Reasonably priced compared to other HDMI cables at the same length. Visuals look great, right up there with the Monster Cable HDMI cable that I have. Though I haven't yet used this with my audio system so I can't comment on the sound quality. Overall a good buy though, I'm quite happy with this.
What's great about it: High defenition video

This serial ATA cable allows you to connect your serial ATA drive to your motherboard and increase the maximum data transfer rate from 133MB/sec. (standard ATA parallel interface) to 150MB/sec., so you get the performance you need.

I got these for my full tower Rocketfish case as the SATA cables I had were too short. The right angle connector is great as one of my SATA ports on my motherboard is blocked by my graphics card. They're a bit pricey but they do there job and are plenty long. These are great for full tower cases.
What's great about it: Long and right angle connector
What's not so great: Bit pricey

Got these on sale and I'm quite impressed. I originally was gonna go with the Bose Companion 3 speakers but I got these seeing it was a lot cheaper. I'm quite pleased with my choice. THX certified, great bass, and unbelievably loud. Very easy to setup, the manual only needed two brief pages on how to set up everything. This set is with out a doubt a great purchase and I highly recommend these.
What's great about it: Great sound at a great price
What's not so great: None at all
