Alright guys, something to service you all and make your lives just a little easier, I decided to start this thread to give you all a thread specifically dedicated to those Whom have used Every piece of computer equipment from mouse pads to video cards to Computer Cases and Power Supplies.

I will update this thread periodically and keep everything maintained in alphabetical order.

FORENOTE: All of the information used to maintain this thread will be user-submitted. Message me, give your piece of hardware a rating on a scale of 1 to 5, and I will post your piece of hardware in it's appropriate category along with a rating with YOUR name right next to the rating. Please, only message me with a rating of your hardware if and ONLY IF you own it. Sending me reviews for an item you don't even own sounds ridiculous and ruins the legitimacy to the review, meaning it is nothing more than a LIE you have messaged me with.

7200RPM Hard Drive 500GB 4/5 stars, Halo2Vista

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

Take out the server class SCSI drive, no one is going to spend that much for a harddrive in a gaming PC. It is a waste. Also remove the 8800 GTS 640 and replace it with the 8800 GT, faster and cheaper.

I think it's just hardware reviews, not a recommended system part list. We can put more than one type of video card on there : D

And yeah... Halo2Vista... how the hell did you get your hands on a 10000RPM scsi drive? Aren't you a preteen? I vote that if you haven't actually used the hardware you can't "review" it.

My laptop £500 and runs it fine... in lowest quality settings but I'm not complaining. 3/5.

And Tesco lie, it DOES have Bluetooth.

lolz, I suppose you have a point. In that case:

Pentium MMX 233 Mhz 4/5
Celeron 533 Mhz 3/5
Athlon XP 1700+ 4/5
Geforce 3 ti 200 5/5 great value for the money
Radeon9700 pro 5/5 best card when released 5/5
Athlon XP 3000+ 4/5
Radeon 9800 pro 5/5 undisputed champ of video cards until the 9800 XT

We need a mod to lock this thread. You see, this was originally my thread until someone with spyware -blam!- my new machine and changed all my passwords.
