why buy a $200 blu-ray player

LITE-ON Black 4X BD-ROM 8X DVD-ROM 32X CD-ROM SATA Internal 4X Blu-ray Reader Model iHOS104-06
LITE-ON Black 4X BD-ROM 8X DVD-ROM 32X CD-ROM SATA Internal 4X Blu-ray Reader Model iHOS104-06

Pros: plays dvd's and blu-rays no hardware or software problems ive used the bundled powerdvd and also installed arcsoft total media theatre 3...

Cons: takes anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute to start playing movies after you hit the play button

Overall Review: i bought this for a htpc, plays movies great i can't see spending 200-250 dollars on a blu-ray player this thing does it all... besides the slow startups it a great product can't beat $70

Best bang for your buck

Pros: extremely fast, haven't had any problems like the other reviewers, i'm able to stream 1080p video across my network from my server to any pc with no hiccups or lag. file transfers between pcs on this switch are fast, i transferred a 10.2GB file in about 4 minutes

Cons: none

Overall Review: i would recommend this router for anyone looking for a cheap gig switch for fast file transfers or using it on a "media center" network for hd movies, it does the job and a great one at that.

Absolutely Amazing

Pros: Lots of fans, even when on their highest setting its really not that loud, case temp stays around 30C. With all ram slots full 8GB, athlon phenom II x4 940, msi radeon 4870 1GB, 2x320GB hdd raid 0 keeps everything running extremely cool. looks are great too, it has a very professional yet extreme look to it. Antec really did a great job with this case, and Newegg processed and shipped it extremely fast

Cons: none.

Overall Review: a fantastic case, i would highly recommend this case to anyone as well as buy another one again.

can't believe what you get for $50

Pros: i'm using if for a blu-ray machine, which 1080p playback looks and plays incredible... was curious how it gamed but not what i intended it for, plays call of duty 5 world at war at about 40-50fps with everything turned up, this video card has all 3 outputs hdmi, dvi, and vga so you can hook it up to anything...

Cons: hdmi will not work and conflicts with onboard audio if your using ati xpress 200 chipset causing 99% usage of gpu and 60-80% cpu usage all the time

Overall Review: great video card, definetly the bang for the buck, i can't believe how well it games, and plays blu-rays... great buy
