It just works!!!
Pros: I enjoy receiving a component that works when you install it, especiallly something as volatile as RAM. After installing, the BIOS detected the ram as 2GB, and Win 7 booted up faster than ever before. Mushkin sounds cool to say
Cons: none.....yet
Overall Review: I haven't sent the rebate worth 5$, i'm kind of skeptical because this is the first mushkin product i have ever purchased, and if it fails I can't get refunded.
Great Deal.. So far
Pros: Matches color scheme of my build, AWESOME price, $26 after rebate. Runs at specified speed, great overall value.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: Had to manually set speed in BIOS, but still worth the price.
4.5 Out Of 5
Pros: Nice Modular design Painted black, Big Silent fan,Sleeved cables Came with Screws and a bag for cables you don't need, 80 plus certified and SLI certified. 3 Year warranty. Got my Rebate! Has been running great for about 2 months now.
Cons: This power supply is best suited for a top mounted PSU, and NOT bottom mounted one. I don't recall reading this in the description or the reviews. This can really frustrate someone because you have to connect your SATA Power cables backwards and in akward positions.
Overall Review: It's a bit on the heavy side, therfore it makes me believe it has quality components. Air coming out feels a bit warm for my setup: 5 case fans, Gigabyte 990fxa-UD3, AMD 1055t, Gigabyte AMD 6850, 8GB Patriot 1333 RAM, 90GB OCZ Agility 3, 1x Sony DVD Burner, Storm Scout case.
Cool looking drive
Pros: Looks cool, is small and not as loud as I expected from a 10,000 RPM
Cons: My WD blue has a higher transfer rate? After I bought this drive a read that WD black are better overall drives!! At first WIN7x64 didn't read the drive! But you have to go into disk manager and make a logical drive/initialize it. ONLY 74gb!
Overall Review: The seek time makes the difference from my WD blue so that makes it faster, and its a great drive overall, ill just get a black for my storage and keep this one as an OS drive.
Antec is good so far
Pros: Moving from a rhino raidmax panther?, (a cheap power supply from another vendor) this Antec quality is great, it is very SILENT, and its modular!!
Cons: Sometimes my PC won't shut down or turns on and and off before boot, maybe it has something to do with the on off switch mentioned on the other reviews? Its not black Rebate will take an ETERNITY!!
Overall Review: For the price after rebate at 550 watts, performance is exceptional. And the random on and offs have stopped. I recommend this power supply to anyone looking for performance and reliability.
COOL
Pros: Such a great price! Isn't too dimm or too bright, it's just right for my case considering there isn't much space (mid tower).
Cons: Fragile, and needs sound contol module seperately.
Overall Review: I found out that other stores offer two cathodes instead of one.
