Very quick

EVGA 320-P2-N815-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 320-P2-N815-AR GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: popped it in...previosly was running 2x 7800 GTX's in SLi, performance isn't a ton better, but none the less it is better. BUT FOR 1 THING. for the games wich have no SLi support this will blow my old 7800's away.

Cons: runs warm but yet again is that bad....cards have ran hot since the FX5800 days. so no CONS here. steller card.

Overall Review: it's pretty beefy....looks awsome. another advantage over an SLi setup is for one.... less heat, less power consumpsion, and nearly all cases out perorms any previos gen cards..... easily a 10/10

HIPER HPU-4R580-MS 580 W ATX12V v2.2 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply
HIPER HPU-4R580-MS 580 W ATX12V v2.2 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply

Pros: It looks so nice,worked great for the year and a couple months i had it, and made for easy cable manegmeant.

Cons: My fist one died after a little more then a year. sent it back to Hiper and they sent me a new one...the new one actully went ka-blamas...a loud pop and sparks flying out the back of the PSU then nothing.

Overall Review: Last note, HIPERS SUPPORT is really leaves so much to be desired. for one nobody there can speak halfway decent english, but a guy by the name of hooman really is a kind guy and trys his best to help. it seems alot of commanies these days are trying to slide a little when it comes to Quality Control. Antec seems to be going down hill atm =( well hope this helps. as i say it'sa 50/50 for anything, you just might get a good one that will last years on end. not for me.

*Darth Vaders Voice* Impressive!

LIAN LI PC-65 USB B2 Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
LIAN LI PC-65 USB B2 Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: These cases are truly awsome, there very well built, no sharp edges, removable motherboard tray, removable HDD&FDD&PSU bays. all thumb screws, none of this screw driver garbage. lots of places to hide wires. Tons of room, and very acceptable air-flow and MANY MODS that can be done. befor i got into Lian-li i was always hesitant as spending $1xx some dollars for a case seemed steep. once i got my first lian-li i relized the differance between your average case(antec 900?). the quality of Lian-Li cases is just amazing. i'll never buy another brand.

Cons: as many have mentioned, the inside tends to scratch pretty easy. for those looking to put a longer then usual PSU be aware the top 80MM will probly need taken out or be replaced with a slim 80mm.

Cobra XRS Series 12 Band Radar/Laser Detector with DigiView Data Display
Cobra XRS Series 12 Band Radar/Laser Detector with DigiView Data Display

Pros: Plenty of range. cheap. can save you $$$$ Range is a good 1/4 mile to 1/2 mile depending on weather.

Cons: not the best on the market and cannot promise me not to get a ticket.

Overall Review: to the person who sad it was worthless. first off these will not go off if the cop you apss does not have his radar on(or laser gun). these don't mean you can speed and not get away with it. nothing can fix stupidity. a cop can tell without having his radar on if ur going 80 in a 25 zone for example. but for if your at a good range(say on the freeway) and your going well over the speed limit and your approacing a cop with his radar on it will warn you befor he's able to get a good reading on you, giving you headroom to apply your brakes, and slowdown. Any radar detector will do it's job if used right. but don't give one bad reviews for something thats your own fault. hope this helps.

Reviews speak for themselves

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM2 125W Processor - ADX6000CZBOX
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM2 125W Processor - ADX6000CZBOX

Pros: as the title states, the reviews speak for themselves, this processor is superb, yes it's nowhere as good as ur top end Core 2's but reallt think about this, How Many FPS do you really need, are you really going to notice the differance between getting 80frames per second then to 120??? for the price this cannot be beat, the only thing you're ur gonna notice in synthetic benchmarks and games LIKE supreme commander in which really puts it to your processor. But in a game like Crysis, if your running persay high quality options, this is where your GPU comes into place, ur really not going to notice much of any differance between say a x2 6000 and a E6850 matched with a 8800 GTX.

Cons: can be a power hog and not the best overclocker, but again besides synthetic bechmarks, are you going to notice the differance between 3Ghz and 3.3Ghz?

Overall Review: and with one last note, there is a reason why reviewers run there benchamrks at a low resolution and at lower IQ settings, that be to stretch the gap on making a processor look good, which there is nothing wrong. don't get me wrong, if i ahd the extra money id definetly buy a C2D, as they are the best CPU's out there without a doubt. but for someone like me with limited income, we try to find the best CPU for are buck, this processoer beyond exceeds that, easily keeping up with a E6600. anyway i hope thsi helps others decide on there CPU purchess.

very stable

GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 / nForce 430 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-M61P-S3 AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 / nForce 430 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Well i wanted a motherboard that was semi cheap, stable, and this gives just that. i didn't need 2 PCI-e slots as i plan to use just one powerful video card. this motherboard is VERy stable so far. ive had Zero issues.......accpet....

Cons: there is not much to overclocking this board! really angered me as there is no menu to change ur memory timings... not even an option to change the command rate wich was a big downer to me. one other Huge thing that makes this board absolutly worthless for overclocking is you can't set the HT multiplier! wich means don't axpect to get more then 210FSB befor you corrupt ur OS.

Overall Review: i still give this board a 5/5 do to the fact it does run so very stable and ive had 0 issues. id recomend for users not planning on OC'ing.
