I mainly bought this monitor as a spare, but ended up replacing an Acer monitor that I was using mostly for reading. It has better contrast and   brighter white than other monitors. Other LCD monitors I have appear more yellow than white. I have it mounted on a movable wall mount so I didn't use the cheap pedestal mount. The friction mount feels and looks cheap, and [ ... ]

With the price I was paying, I knew something had to be wrong. My assumption was confirmed when it took an hour to trasfer less than 500Mb of data.   I gave it three stars, two for price, the other because it hasn't failed yet.

I like this cooler/fan because it has screw on attachment rather than thos plastic   pins you have to turn. This makes for a strong connection to the CPU and motherboard. Don't screw to tight, though- you don't want to crack it. It comes with a bit of thermal paste on the bottom of the fan (be careful not to touch it). I installed it on a Pentium D 805 2.66 MHz CPU. [ ... ]

The cartridge supplied with the HP Deskjet 932C doesn't hold much ink, so when I   purchased the printer 3 months ago, I bought a 2-pack of 45A -- I hate to run out of ink.
