PERFECT PSU - ROCK-STABLE VOLTAGES !
Pros: Single-Rail, so you can get power where you need *on demand* as needed, instead of being limited by multi-rail PSU's that might get a rail loaded up and needing more power, although other rails have little load on them. No Multi-Rails for me... More leads than the average person will ever need, so many so that you might have problems finding placement for unused leads, but if you do ever need more leads, they are there. Top-Notch quality !
Cons: None whatsoever. ROCK-STABLE currents which are an ABSOLUTE must for overclockers... And, of course as always, they could be cheaper...
Overall Review: PCP&C was bought by OCZ and makes their PSU's for them. I believe that OCZ is having them manufactured overseas now, but the PCP&C models are still USA manufactured if I am correct. Hope they don't change that.
AGREE WITH DEC 13 POSTER, FINDING PRICE IS RIDICULOUS
Pros: Looks like a good TV, was going to buy, but after going to 1-click from done deal to find out the price, I decided to go elsewhere. NewEgg has changed the way the inform the customer of so-called "special" prices, and they need to make it easier and change it back to the way it was.
Cons: Finding the price is absurd. Can get it for the "special" price elsewhere without having to jump through so many hoops. *NewEgg management*: Are you listening, IF you can hear?
MOTOR RESOLVE
Pros: Has lasted me ~4-yrs, performs well for price
Cons: None for the money!
Overall Review: As an FYI, I have had a similar model for 4-yrs, and when I first got mine, which used to be model CCM-16, I tried to grind a pound of beans, and after ~3 hoppers full, the motor would not come on. I later realized it is not made to do so much in succession, and the motor has a thermal cutoff to keep it from burning out, a good thing. If it stops working, let it sit several hours and try it again before proclaiming it is broken. I now grind 2 hoppers, wait awhile and grind more, and it as worked perfectly since.
GOOD FOR PRICE! - WORX W/WIN7 GREAT
Pros: Finally got it to work with Win7 using the drivers suggested below from the M$ Catalog v.3.0.9.1. There are 2, one x32, the other x64, so make sure you get the correct one, if I remember the x64 variant is slightly larger than the x32 driver. It would not work with the included drivers. I'm in a campground, and could barely get their WiFi signal with *THREE* other adapters, as I'm quite a ways from their router. Once I got this working with the M$ stock updated driver, I'm now getting a VERY good signal with the antenna sticking on the outside of my aluminum blind. Bye-Bye to my $60/mo - 5GB/mo wireless Broadband, the mafia !@#$ anyway. I SWEAR the wireless broadband providers are price-fixing in my opinion.
Cons: Drivers @ Rosewill & Ralink need to be UPDATED ASAP ! ALSO - IMPORTANT, although the external antenna cord is nice, it would be nice it if was even long. Not sure how this would affect signal quality, but for a few pennies more wire to the antenna, would near make this the perfect cheap solution to my WiFi needs.
Overall Review: Very satisfied, but disappointed a few days after I bought it that it went to 30% off, but that was a minimal amount considering the cost at purchase.
WOW, COOL & AESTHETICALLY APPEALING
Pros: REALLY stable and fast. If you want to overclock to the edge, this is a definite must have. Got this to go with an Asus M4A79XTD EVO and a 955BE Rev. C3 chip, WOW is all I can say, the board and CPU love this RAM. Runs REALLY cool, heatsink design is solid and well designed and they are completely cool to the touch. They are quite heavy also.
Cons: High price. Appears they aren't selling many of them from the lack of many reviews. DROP THE PRICE AND YOU WILL SELL MANY MORE OF THESE
THE SILICON IS NOW A COOKING ! - YUMMY
Pros: ONE AMAZING 38-gram PIECE OF SILICON + Cu + Ni VERY easy setup, just get good components. WOW is all I can say. Been doing builds since ~1992, & this was by FAR the easiest. 1Win 7 Experience ratings, PRELIMINARY & SO FAR CPU: 7.5 - WILL BE BE BETTER AFTER TWEAKING ;) Memory: 7.6 - NO TWEAKING, YET Graphics: 7.2 - WILL TWEAK MORE, STD CCC AUTO-TUNE Gaming Graphics: 7.2 - STD CCC AUTO-TUNE Disk rating: 5.5 w/single 250GB Seagate 7200.9 / ST3250824AS ( UNTIL SGT ES DRIVES COME IN ) ( Awaiting pair of Sgt ES drives to run @ RAID-0 ) Just buy it !
Cons: Could have been cheaper, prices are ALL over the place, WTH? AMD / NewEgg: Cut the price on this, keep it stable, and you WILL sell a LOT of these ! Untel better get off their duff and wake the !@#$ up before they fall asleep at the wheel, as if they haven't already ;)
