Review of Hitachi CML174SXWB by  chaoticjelly

Advantages: True 17" size, Good resolution, V good brightness, Ultra fast response time, DVI output, Size, 3 year warranty
Disadvantages: Price, Base does not swivel

...*Description/Introduction* The Hitachi CML174SXW-B is currently one of the highest specification LCD TFT monitors on the LCD market. I purchased one from CRS Solutions in December of 2002, and I am highly impressed. The monitor itself is 17" of pure joy, housed in a top quality, sleek black casing. The looks of the monitor are absolutely superb, and it is excellent for those just wishing to add a bit of style to their desktop. LCD monitors are becoming ever more popular, and it looks like this particular monitor, and others of its ilk could be the monitors to break the stereotype of slow response, blurry LCD's. *Specification* The important bits: *Screen Size: The screen size is 17 inches, this, unlike CRT (normal) monitors is its true viewable size, measured from top right to bottom left, diagonally.

Hitachi TravelStar, What a Star
Review of Hitachi TravelStar 7K100 100 GB by  lowerboscadjack

Advantages: Quite, low power consumption, high capacity
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I have been using a Hitachi TravelStar for a long time now, I have had not problems with it and I have given it a good run for the price I paid for it. I originally started out with the 80gb model of this hard disk. I had absolutely no problems with it. (I now have the 100gb model as the laptop it was in was broken in a car accident). I had the 80gb model for a year and never gave me any trouble. It was: · Fast · Reliable · Quite · Super low power consumption · Had a quick spin up time · Very quick seek time · Standard 5 year warranty · Very helpful warranty/customer support Hitachi's customer warranty claims support is like no other that I have come across before. You go onto there website, fill out a warrant claim form; package the device (hard disk in my case) in the way they require. Once you have sent it to them... Read review
