PNY Verto 8400 GS DMS 512MB PCI-e 2.0

2010-05-19T17:52:00.000-07:00

Play it and watch it in HD with a Verto GeForce® 8400GS Graphics Card. Features full support of DirectX®9 and DirectX 10 for games, plus the ultimate HD movie expert.

The PNY Verto 8400 GS is a very good low end graphics card with superb quality. I currently am using this in one of my pc's and in my opinion it is the best low end Nvidia graphics card that I have used so far. The only down side to this card is that there is only one DVI connection and no other connections. This isnt much of a problem though because the card comes with a VGA to DVI adapter and a DVI cable to connect two monitors. You can currently buy this graphics card for around $59.99

Plantronics Gamecom 377

2010-05-16T23:26:00.000-07:00

The Plantronics Gamecom 377 is a mid- range gaming headset from Plantronics. The open-ear design provides great comfort for long gaming sessions and the headset also includes a retractable noise canceling mic boom. I would say that this headset has one of the best mics over most other headsets out today. Now the sound quality is not the best, but it is very good when compared to headsets in the same price range. Overall this is a great headset, especially for long gaming sessions, as mentioned earlier. You can currently buy this headset for around $30 to $40 depending on where you buy it.
