Reviews. Thrillz Kills + MLG ASUS VH236H Monitor Review = Love. Asus VH236H Review - Watch CNET's Video Review. The Asus VH236H is available for around $190 from e-tailers.
For that price you not only get HDMI and DVI support, built-in speakers, a headphone jack but also great movie and game performance. We'd prefer to have more ergonomic options and a less frustrating OSD menu, but with its great performance and affordable price, it's difficult to balk at such a sweet deal. The Samsung SyncMaster P2370 has the same screen size, is more stylish, and has comparable performance, but its $285 price tag makes it a less desirable deal considering its lack of connection options and other missing features.
Design and features With a glossy black bezel, juxtaposed with its black matte finish on the back, the 23-inch Asus VH236H has a fairly plain design. The panel measures just 1.25 inches in depth; however, when you add in the ventilation system, the full-panel depth is 2.5 inches. The bezel measures 0.75 inch on its left and right sides and 1.25 inches on its bottom, where a silver Asus logo resides. Choose A Keyboard.

While 90% of the mice that are available are geared towards gaming, we need to look at our mice to do more than just gaming. Choose A CPU.

Reviews. Intel Core i5 3570K review. This is it.
The biggie. The replacement for our favourite CPU of the past year or so. The new quad-core Intel Core i5 3570K, one of two new processors from Intel's new 22nm Ivy Bridge family of CPUs, has plenty to prove. Our old favourite that sets the standard this new chip will be measured by is the Intel Core i5 2500K from the Sandy Bridge generation, the best all round gaming CPU ever and all the chip most people need. Or maybe that should be the Core i5 2550K which was a very minor clockspeed bump over the 2500K. At first glance, you might wonder whether the Intel Core i5 3570K is actually a new chip, so similar are the headline specifications to its predecessor.
With four cores and no Hyperthreading support, there's not a lot of extra CPU hardware. Dig a little deeper and the differences emerge. For gamers and performance enthusiasts, the most important upgrade is the shrink from 32nm to 22nm process technology and the introduction of Intel's 3D Tri-gate transistors. Choose A Motherboard.

At the price Bob is going for, some of the trappings of civilisation have been stripped. There's no push button for power, reset or CMOS clear, for instance. You do get a MemOK! You'll still need to clear Bob's CMOS using a jumper, which isn't marked in any fashion on the board. Choose Memory.

This review is from: SeaSonic S12II 620 Bronze 620W ATX12V V2.3 / EPS 12V V2.91 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply Pros: Relatively cheap, and perfectly sized for the case. Cons: Outside of the few pros, this PSU has been nothing but issues thus far. While I'm hardly the most technologically experienced, this is the fourth computer rig I've built from scratch. Thus far, the issues have been all over the place upon arrival.
Cabling had frayed around the motherboard's PSU plug, a small ticket that voided the warranty had already been partially peeled, and it relatively worked. Initially powered on and started boot up, but once again the GPU began to randomly turn off. Choose An Optical Drive.
