Pros: Fast hard drive, inexpensive, works out of box.
Cons: Haven't used Hitachi drives before, don't know what their long term reliability is like.
Overall Review: Scores 5.9 on Windows 7 score. Seems really quick. Don't know what the long term reliability is like as I'm used to Western Digital drives but as long as drives aren't like Seagate(I've had more trouble with seagate then any other manufacturer in the past) it should be ok.
Atleast it has SLI
Pros: SLI, Stable as far as I can tell, pretty good features for a $80 board
Cons: Weird setup for SLI, a pretty lousy overclocker as well as it has no adjustments for CPU voltage or multiplier. No BIOS updates as of yet for new CPUs
Overall Review: Would be easily a 5 egg board if it allowed some voltage and multiplier adjustments for my 9850 Black edition. Really wish Zotac had a beta bios to enable this or something as the board is really a great value for the money. How difficult is it implement these things.
Runs hot but powerful
Pros: Voltage unlocked and overclockable, puts out 1470 khash at 1070 Mhz and is able to be undervolted
Cons: Stock Cooler isn't the greatest, suggest getting spot coolers or additional fans to help get better cooling.
Pros: Much faster then a 802.11G card, its like being connected via ethernet.
Cons: None
Nice case for the price I paid
Pros: Got the case for a bargain, holds everything without a problem, looks great, well built
Cons: Very heavy compared to my other cases. I'm used to using aluminum cases, steel is much heavier.
Pros: Plenty of connectors, more efficient then the previous supply that I was using.
Cons: Don't really need all those connectors in my rig.
Overall Review: Modular cables are great
