I bought them and I like the look, but I must confess I seldom use them out of memory considerations. The kits take up a fair chunk of memory; which slows my machine down, esp if I want to load a couple of Mikes or Vickys. But then, my currnt PC is maxed out at 256M. I'm planning on upgrading to a new PC that will take up to 3G of ram, just so I can use this (and other things) to their full potential. If you have the memory, and the need for a really large set, I think they're probably worth it, but otherwise I think you'd get more milage out of something like Nerd's backdrop.
