Pros: Got this hard drive since it was capable of being converted to a 360 hard drive. Pretty easy to convert this hard drive to a 360 one; definitely cheaper than buying an official one.

Cons: None

Good card

Pros: This allowed me to add 2 of my old IDE hard dirves in my new i7 desktop (already had the IDE channel occupied with DVD burners).

Cons: Price is kind of high

Defective PSU but Corsair Service is great

CORSAIR CX Series CX600 600W 80 PLUS BRONZE Active PFC ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply

Pros: Newegg shipped it in 2 days as usual; super fast.

Cons: Powered up PSU, it was quiet for 3 min, then got louder and louder, as if it was going to explode. Handful of reviews said bad capacitors or fan bearings so I was concern on getting Corsair's new CX line but for $45 after rebate, I took that risk.

Overall Review: I RMA'd to Corsair, drove from San Jose to Hayward (warehouse moved from Fremont to Hayward) and picked up a new PSU. The new PSU works great. When powering up my desktop from a cold start, the psu is kind of loud warming up. However, once it's warm up, it's quiet.
