Old Faithful

Pros: Bought this thing in August of 2009 and it still runs like a champ. Doesn't even break a sweat no matter what I throw at it, and I've never overclocked it. I suspect it will last me quite a while longer.

Cons: They sure got rid of this socket quick, so one day when I do finally upgrade I'll have to get a new mobo as well. But by then there will be plenty of other reasons I need a new mobo anyway.

Pros: *Stays very cool *Pretty white lights :O

Cons: *None that I can see

Overall Review: I used this with some good aftermarket thermal paste in my first build with a Core i7 920, and I'm impressed. It idles at 39C and I have yet to see it break 55C in benchmarks. Bottom line, if you're on the fence, buy it.

Awesome for the price.

Turtle Beach Ear Force X1 Stereo Headset for XBOX 360

Pros: -Good sound quality. -Extremely comfortable. -360 degree sound. -Long cord, with other wires hidden behind television.

Cons: -It has a little too much bass. This is the only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 rather than 5 out of 5. When playing really loudly, I recommend taking some Advil first.

Overall Review: I tried it on Halo 2 and Call of Duty 2. The game sound was great, but voices came across as being pretty muffled.
