Cube Rules

APEVIA X-QPACK-AL/420 Black/Silver Aluminum Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 420W Power Supply
APEVIA X-QPACK-AL/420 Black/Silver Aluminum Micro ATX Desktop Computer Case 420W Power Supply

Pros: Don't kid yourself....all Aspire cube cases are not alike! I have ordered over 10 of these building systems and Newegg's is the best quality cube case so far. No issues, no damages!

Cons: you just have to be careful at aligning your wires, always reverse the fans in the rear to blow inwards right out of the box for best cooling. Makes the vented slots on both sides of the front create a constant backflow of air moving through instead of a fan blowing into a vast empty area or trying to pull air through from the front.

Most Critical Review

D.O.A.

AMD Sempron 3100+ - Sempron Palermo Single-Core 1.8 GHz Socket 754 Processor - SDA3100BABOX
AMD Sempron 3100+ - Sempron Palermo Single-Core 1.8 GHz Socket 754 Processor - SDA3100BABOX

Pros: The other reviews sound great, wish I could write my own from a "working" processor. Seems to be the "trend" to sell non-working items everywhere online these days...........

Cons: D.O.A. no product warranty support from newegg AMD's site is down for maintenance, lol.....:-(

Overall Review: if there is not a d.o.a. warranty and the price is just about average but they will online net warranty it for another $xx or so............its funner to just go gamble with the money!

Excellent Newegg Rules

Crucial Ballistix 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT6464Z402
Crucial Ballistix 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT6464Z402

Pros: Pricewise with mail-in rebate how can you complain with performance low timing memory with full heatspreaders for $xx !!!!!!!!

Cons: none, long as rebate pans out, lol

Overall Review: in all my years of dealing with newegg I only have had one d.o.a. item and it was an old school socket 754 amd processor and even though they claimed no refunds on product after I explained the "FF" stop bios error (meaning d.o.a.) and the fact that amd's site was giving me the runaround they went ahead and replaced!!!!!! You cannot beat this company for sales, prices, shipping & service.

AMD's are back strong

AMD Sempron 3100+ - Sempron Palermo Single-Core 1.8 GHz Socket 754 Processor - SDA3100BABOX

Pros: Ease of install, price, performance can't be beat + AMD's finally cured the overheat situation.

Cons: Absolutely none. Back to being an AMD guy!

Old School DFI

DFI CM33-TL Socket 370 VIA 8601T Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
DFI CM33-TL Socket 370 VIA 8601T Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Worked, added the punch needed for combining what the transplanted PIII 1000mhz processor needed.

Cons: Couldn't believe a PIII board would cost $xx bucks still! Price you pay staying in the dark ages.....said it was acpi compliant but you have to tap F7 to not load acpi interface when loading windows xp to get windows to load.

Overall Review: Newegg came through again!

Patriot memory

Patriot Signature Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model PSD1G400KH
Patriot Signature Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model PSD1G400KH

Pros: Price, size - 1gig (matched pair), the delivery was lightning fast. Works as well or better than the higher priced 1gig sets such as corsair I have purchased. A definite savings + performance. On my msi matx board with 2.4 800fsb processor it is running like a thoroughbred!

Cons: I don't have enough money to order 10 more sets.........lol
