Great Value

Sunbeam PSU-BKS580-US 580 W ATX Power Supply
Sunbeam PSU-BKS580-US 580 W ATX Power Supply

Pros: Excellent value. Beat all other pricing, including local stores, even with the shipping cost. I have cycled the power supply many times after initial burn in time of 3 days with no Issues. Dual fans keep the unit cool and help circulate airflow through case.

Cons: Second fan makes the unit a bit louder than previous 400Watt model.

Overall Review: Overall the noise level is tollerable. The unit is solid and of reasonable quality, especially for the price. Very satisfied with my first Newegg purchase.

Solid board for the price

Foxconn G31AX-K LGA 775 Intel G31 ATX Intel Motherboard
Foxconn G31AX-K LGA 775 Intel G31 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Quick install, great features for the price. Good documentation as well. My first Foxconn board and more than happy with it.

Cons: Had an issue with the audio not working with the included driver. went to realtek web site and installed the latest driver. problem solved.

Overall Review: Bought this as an upgrade. paired it with a celeron dual core E1500 2.2GHz CPU and an gigabyte Radeon 3850 graphics card with 512MB Ram. 2 gigs system Ram. used for moderate gaming, has been solid so far.

Great Dual Core

Intel Celeron E1500 - Celeron Dual-Core Conroe Dual-Core 2.2 GHz LGA 775 65W Desktop Processor - BX80557E1500
Intel Celeron E1500 - Celeron Dual-Core Conroe Dual-Core 2.2 GHz LGA 775 65W Desktop Processor - BX80557E1500

Pros: Great Dual Core processor! Easy to install, runs cool, and can be overclocked! Great performance for the price.

Cons: Thermal grease on the heatsink is in 3 small stripes. Recommend spreading for maximum surface contact or removing and using Arctic Silver.

Overall Review: Plays high end games with an ATI 3850 512MB graphics card no problem, and using the stock fan/ heatsink. If you plan to overclock consider upgrading them though.

Solid board after Bios update

DFI ICFX3200-T2R/G LGA 775 ATI CrossFire Xpress 3200 IE ATX Intel Motherboard
DFI ICFX3200-T2R/G LGA 775 ATI CrossFire Xpress 3200 IE ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Loads of features. Great for over clocking. Great price and an ATI Chipset with an intel cpu! Vista Ultimate 64 bit works well after bios update. Installed with 4 GB Ram with no issues! Got the larger Northbridge heatsink free with purchase! ATI South bridge too!

Cons: Some of the endless features are not explained in the manual. Professional level bios setup, so know what you are doing or get someone who does!(not really a con) Needs a bios update

Overall Review: Overall a great motherboard for the price. Good for novices if they don't want to mess with bios, but better for the over cloackers. Q6600 @ 3.4GHz, ATI Radeon 8750 512 MB Will be adding another for Crossfire. 500 GB WD HD. Runs fast and cool in the Antec 900 case! Will update after 6 months!
