Great RAM

Pros: I bought this set back in 2008 and installed it in a fresh clean build. P5Q Pro motherboard, socket 775. Intel E8400 (dual core! 3.0 GHz!). 512MB video card! This thing screamed! About three years ago, one of the sticks died and I had to RMA it. The experience was very fast and very painless. The other stick is still going strong after all these years, and obviously no problems with the new one that came when I RMA'd. This RAM is highly dependable and highly recommended.
Cons: I can't think of any, really.
Great Value Wireless Solution

Pros: Great range; I use this to watch movies from my bed sometimes and that's about 15 feet. I like the function keys that launch applications like Excel & Word; it's not like they save a huge amount of time but they are pretty cool. Media keys are conveniently located so I don't hit them by mistake. Battery life is really long - keyboard lasts 8 months, mouse lasts about five months, average use is about 30 or 40 hours per week. The keyboard is very thin and light, saving desk space.
Cons: Would have preferred backlit keys but on a $50 keyboard/mouse set that's not gonna happen.
Excellent and totally immersive

Pros: The world feels huge and well-rendered. Great use of sound and visuals. Characters are lifelike, dialogue is pretty good, weapons/armor/items are varied, the list goes on. Huge, huge variety of stuff to do. I played the first two games and Bethesda did an excellent job adapting the Fallout world to a 3-D, first person perspective. Every time I get in dialogue I think, "Wow, everyone's a talking head!" Love the karma system and its influence on NPCs.
Cons: Everyone says this, but it shipped with some bugs. I get occasional crashes to the desktop (Vista 32, XFX 9800 GTX+, 4 gigs RAM, E8400) probably once every ten or twenty hours of gameplay so it's just a slight annoyance. Sometimes (rarely) characters get stuck in the floor/ceiling.
Overall Review: The pros definitely outweigh the cons, in my opinion. This game is not better than Half-Life 2, but it is very good.
Smoking Card

Pros: Excellent framerates on everything I've thrown at it (250-300 fps in HalfLife 2). I have had no issues whatsoever with this card. Installation was normal except for having to work it into the case (see below).
Cons: It's a little large. If I want to fit in a second for SLI, I'll need to modify the HDD enclosure on my Thermaltake M9 case.
Overall Review: Great value at this price point.
Good, Inexpensive RAM

Pros: Typical excellent quality from G.Skill. The RAM went in fine and I've had no memory errors whatsoever. It's running on 32-bit Vista Ultimate, so the OS itself only recognizes 3.25 GB, but the BIOS notes that all 4 GB are present and accounted for and running at their proper voltage and timing. 4 GB for less than $100, not bad at all.
Cons: None?
Overall Review: Looks decent too. I like the heat spreaders.
Nice case for midrange system

Pros: Tool-less installation of 5.25" devices was very fast and easy while still seeming solid, plenty of room, looks cool, sturdy steel design. USB jacks, power/reset switches and headphone jacks are conveniently located at the top front, which is really nice when you keep your rig on the floor so you don't have to bend over. Good airflow. The hard drive cage is removable through the front of the case, which is awesome when you need to access the bottom part of your motherboard for USB plugs, SATA or other stuff - I just removed the hard drive cage and reached in through the hole.
Cons: Installing my 3.5" SD card reader (I got the Rosewill one from Newegg) was a slight pain because I did have to use screws to fasten it to the included 5.25" to 3.5" bracket. Like other reviewers said, a magnetic screwdriver solves the problem and it's worth a couple of minutes when measured against the amount of time saved installing the other devices.
Overall Review: Five fans in my system...this case has two big ones, front and back, and there's the CPU, PSU and graphics card. Hopefully it doesn't lift off my floor when I'm not looking. The case is, in fact, large enough to accommodate the large 9800GTX card(s). My build: E8400, ASUS P5Q Pro, XFX 9800GTX, 2x2GB OCZ DDR2-800, 650w Antec PSU.
