Great Board

ASRock Z75 Pro3 LGA 1155 Intel Z75 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASRock Z75 Pro3 LGA 1155 Intel Z75 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Great budget board for entry level or enthusiast. OC capable. Just don't install the bloatware that comes with it (except the i-charger, this works great and enables USB charging even when in hybrid sleep, I love it). I put a i3-3220 in this with a Sapphire HD-7750 (1GB DDR5), and for a budget unit it screams.

Cons: Free steak dinner?

Overall Review: I'd suggest this to anyone who wants to build a budget 1155 socket computer.

Brothers & Chips

Brother MFC-J450dw 6000 x 1200 dpi USB / Wireless Duplex InkJet MFP Color Printer
Brother MFC-J450dw 6000 x 1200 dpi USB / Wireless Duplex InkJet MFP Color Printer

Pros: Great printer, easy to set up, fantastic quality you have come to expect from BROTHER.

Cons: Uses newer version of BROTHER's 'Control Center', version 4 - This is not backwards compatible as you would think it would be with other BROTHER printers using older control centers. What this means for you, is that if you like using this software, and have older printers on your computer/network, be prepared to run BOTH version of the Control Center on all computers you want to utilize both printers... C'mon BROTHER, we expected more from the leader in printer tech... Also this uses the new 101/103/105 series cartridges - same as old ones except they have the 'counter chips'. Be aware...

Overall Review: The counter chip will NOT make it so you CAN'T print, just make it very annoying (have to clear annoying message from screen after EVERY page when counter hits threshold). Still a shame in a world screaming for sustainability to market something like this...

Some Help for Win 7...

Autel MaxiScan MS300 OBDII Auto Diagnostic Scan Tool Code Reader
Autel MaxiScan MS300 OBDII Auto Diagnostic Scan Tool Code Reader

Pros: Simple to use, does what it says in an easy fashion.

Cons: Software will not work on newer computers (it is outdated). For those of you having problems finding a manual or getting the software to install, I can help... See other thoughts below.

Overall Review: For those who can not install the software on newer systems, I installed it successfully with my 'XP Box' and transferred the installation files over to a win 7 x64 machine and found that method works fine. You can find the install files here: mediafire.com/download/d0q7ics6li24u6z All you need to do is unzip it (preferably into your Program Files (x86)) folder, right click and make a shortcut to the DTCHelp file, and paste the shortcut wherever you want (desktop, Start menu, etc). The manual is included in the folder, you can make a shortcut to it or move it where you please. This should make it a lot easier rather then trying to Google codes or install an app on your phone. I noticed someone else posted a link to the manual as well, but it is dead, hence why I included that in the file as well. Happy Hunting~

Great buy @ ~$125

HP DC7900 Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz 2GB RAM 160GB HDD Desktop PC Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit B Grade Scratch & Dent
HP DC7900 Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz 2GB RAM 160GB HDD Desktop PC Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit B Grade Scratch & Dent

Pros: Good condition for a Grade B, Packaged well, had proper memory and processor. All drives are sata. Everything runs quiet, a simple blowout for dust bunnies was all it needed. Also came pre-installed with windows 7 x64 and a few other key software's plus windows backup discs for both x86 & x64. For an upgrade from a Pentium 4 Celeron to this for the price is 'sick'.

Cons: See below, none really.

Overall Review: Started as a slight Con: Came with a 'not-so-hot' dvd drive. Had to bang on the case to get it to open. I called the number referenced in the mailing slips, left a message, they called back an hour or so later, and within 5 minutes they were sending me a 'new' DVD drive. I expected a used one in better condition but it appears I instead actually received a new one. Con rectified. Very Pleased.

WARNING

TOPOWER ZU-500W 500W ATX12V Ver. 2.0     Power Supply
TOPOWER ZU-500W 500W ATX12V Ver. 2.0 Power Supply

Pros: NewEgg comes through again with fast shipping.

Cons: Lighted fan was in the back, not the 'bottom' as pictured, the picture is misleading (or my unit was at very least.) I ran this unit under nominal load, and it failed in 8 months, which is no where near the expected life span of a power supply, especially since I do not use the system but an hour or two a day. I can see why I got it on sale now...

Overall Review: I would not recommend this unit to anyone.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - CPU Cooler with 4 Direct Contact Heatpipes

Pros: My CPU (i3-3220) has not achieved or exceeded 35 Celsius, ever, with fan on lowest level; unit has been installed for 8+ months now. It almost works too well... Fit perfect in my ASUS z-75 pro 3 mobo.

Cons: Make sure your tower is wide enough for this beast. Makes sure it will not interfere with your memory slots or anything else.

Overall Review: Just make sure it will fit... It's freakin' huge.
