Reliable APU for low-end PC, or HTPC
Pros: Worked right out of the box, has great speed compared to the last PC my brother had. Is as advertised for sure.
Cons: Only a con if you want higher performance, but this APU isn't nearly as good as the A8-3870k... but simply my opinion, and not worth taking off an egg.
Overall Review: This is good for low-end gaming PC's or HTPC's, I wouldn't lean on it much more than that, unless of course you'd like to pair it with a GFX card, can't go wrong with AMD's Dual Graphics setup.
Not the best, but it'll do...
Pros: Cheap. Nice black finish inside and out.
Cons: The case is very thin metal, Easily dents (dropped and 360 controller on the corner and it made a dime sized dent, from less than 2 feet above it... The red plastic is also coming loose at the bottom. I have a feeling I'll be spending a little more next time around.
Overall Review: Good if you're looking for a case on a budget...
I can't believe this!
Pros: ONE stick worked...
Cons: After a fresh install of Windows 7, I began updating everything and all of the sudden BSoD. I figure MAYBE it's driver related, so I give it another go, and ANOTHER BSoD, so after checking the results of the blue screen I can only come up with one solution; RAM. I use Memtest86 and sure enough, failures at 2%. I cannot believe this has happened.
Overall Review: Other than the BSoD I do have one stick that runs great. Hopefully Newegg will RMA.
Affordable price
Pros: Got this in a DIY kit, and it works great, however I did buy new RAM to max out the board, but it had nothing to do with the G.SKILL RAM.
Cons: DOES NOT have any heat spreaders... Not that you can't tell that by looking at the images, but I think they could use them.
Overall Review: Looks cool on a black MB.
Inexpensive, and well known brand
Pros: Does what it is intended to do. I did actually purchase it without reading full details (was looking for a burner at the time), but that's my bad, not worth taking an egg off.
Cons: None so far.
Had to RMA...
Pros: Great hard drive. And I can only say that because now I actually have one that works... Great speed, and good price for size.
Cons: Received first one DOA, but was quickly issued and RMA and the replacement has worked great.
