davidst Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 Some of you may or may not agree with this list but I think for the most part it's pretty good. The reason I was looking at it is I am in the market for a new dvd-rw drive the Samsung SH-S223 looks good. Anyway it's a good way to start some discussion(s) http://www.maximumpc.com/best-of-the-best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBags Posted November 8, 2009 Posted November 8, 2009 i personally have to discredit any best of the best of the best (sir!) list when it includes a Microsoft Natural Keyboard... and I lol'd when I saw the 4870 listed as low-end graphics I could understand midrange, nowadays, but low-end? certainly not, imo. Aside from it's lack of AM3 and the aforementioned, it was alright.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from it's lack of AM3 and the aforementioned, it was alright.. i was a little confused by all the intel MB selections but only one AMD based board. and it was an AM2 board at that! .. thats terrible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 For the best of the best list and they pick a 22" LCD What is with the case selection as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I could not disagree with some of the selections. For cases if you have not looked inside the ATCS 840 you do not know what you are missing. The Microsoft Natural keyboard is my keyboard of choice because of the size of my hands. It is much easier for me to use than a standard keyboard. The monitor category was for Budget monitors so a 22 inch fits in that category pretty well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think they would list other monitors since they list the I7 975 on the first page that was my point on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabrielT Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 anyone else find this list kind of pointless? It isn't a bad list for people who don't know much about PC's and want to get a general idea of the state of electronics. It might not be perfect but it is probably more help to the other 98% of the population who aren't as tech savvy as they think.
