Amped Wireless R20000G High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Router
Amped Wireless R20000G High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Router

Pros: So, I bought this ~week it was available via Newegg. I also bought the repeater SR20000G. I am in college and My apartment and my friends apartment is in the adjacent building. He has the repeater and I have the router. Together we split a 100mbps connection. The signal is astounding the 5ghz off the repeater pulls down around 60% of the speed at a distance of 80 feet(Line of Sight). I did have a problem with the first one but Amped was kind enough to send me a BRAND NEW one and not a replacement. The Dyndns settings in the router also makes WOL entertaining for my desktop,HTPC as well as hosting mumble servers and whatnot. Oh and I can pick up signal as far away as 150 feet from the router and get some connection.

Cons: Occasionally when I ask it to make me dinner it tells me no.

Overall Review: this has massive range

Pros: Very compact, every type of connection known to man and several known to monkeys. Boots through EFI bios quickly lots of features. Recognized my APU and Ram timings on first boot.

Cons: Only 4 sata ports. I am using this as a HTPC with a 2TB WD AV-GP drive and a 128gb SSD boot drive. Not much room for storage expansion. Not worth taking an egg of though

Overall Review: My build nmediapc 5000b A8-5600k Vengeance DDR3 1600 2x4gb 2TB WD AV-GP 128gb Kingston SSD Corsair 430m PSU

Beastly

EVGA 012-P3-2068-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 448 Cores Classified 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Pros: This card is an absolute beast, well I must say THESE cards considering I have two in SLI...It out performs on everything I can throw at it. Both of mine are overclocked to 860mhz but I have pushed it to 900mhz for benchmarking. It scores just as high if not higher as two gtx 570s. I chose this card over a gtx 570 because it has a much better cooling structure (dual fans). Best part is newegg sent me sibling cards with S/N right after each other. No micro stuttering on these cards. I was worried that they would run a bit warm, but they sit in idle at 29C in my case and under full power they hit upper 60s.

Cons: The fans...you know they turn on when it sounds like a jet turbine firing out of the back of your computer, but with the power these cards have, they hardly turn on. Only really heard them fire up under benchmarking.

Overall Review: My system Core I7 2600K Asus P8Z68 V Pro/Gen3 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 Thermal Take Bigwater 760 Plus Antec DF 85 Antec CP 1000W and.... TWO EVGA GTX 560 TI 448 Classified cards in SLI

Crucial Ballistix 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT25664AA80A

Pros: I did not buy this but for the person below me price is not a legit con for anything. Ram is like a commodity prices go up when much is not made and goes down when more is made think of it like the stock market last year was abnormal and that is the lowest price ram will ever be for the next 5 years or so

Cons: none

Overall Review: Crucial,Corsair,OCZ,Kingston can't go wrong with any brands

good ram

Patriot 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Laptop Memory Model PSD22G6672S

Pros: Great price works well, Patriot does it again works great. This ram is good for my cheap toshiba laptop ran it on mem test to 640 percent (forgot i left it on overnight)

Cons: gets a bit hot (enough to cook an egg on the bottom of my laptop)

Overall Review: besides the heating up its a great stick of ram for the price corsair is a bit more pricey but then again they are the top memory company

WD does it again

Pros: Got it in less than 2 days from when i ordered on ups ground, got it came nicley packaged bubble wrapped and packing peanuts, runs as a great replacement drive for my ps3, very quiet.

Cons: it doesnt sing three days grace to me

Overall Review: hmmm what would that sound like if it did sing?
