impressed
Pros: Fast, VERY quiet, Great price
Cons: not free
Overall Review: Bear in mind that this is a7200 RPM drive so if you are upgrading from a 5400 then you will likely hear more noise from the rotation of the drive then you are used to, but the actuator/arm noise in virtually non-existant. 5.9 Windows performance rating. Delivered promptly in typical Newegg style.
Dude!!!
Pros: This game is so fun! I have been waiting for a game with this level of refinement for quite a while. Storyline is great and very engaging. Well worth the money
Cons: Need to have the disk in the drive for DRM purposes. I liked it better not having to pick up ammo in ME1.
Overall Review: Actually runs much better then the first. Very little screen lag and the graphics are amazing. Athlon X2 5000 BE 4GB PC2 6400 GeForce 8800GT 1GB Vista Business 64 bit
useful
Pros: I own a couple of these and use them in areas where I need more outlets but don't want any power strips and wires hanging out. Use it for things like fish tank, kitchen stuff... Just don't expect these to have enough surge protection for a computer or other high dollar equipment.
Cons: not free
Small flaws
Pros: DDR3 Nice feature set with quality BIOS and construction I like the 785/SB710 chipset a lot Lots of processors supported AMD OverDrive makes overclocking easy if you are a noob
Cons: I hate the way that Gigabyte tends to place the front audio header in the middle of the board (between the rear jacks and the CPU) requiring a cable to run across the length of the board in the middle. This makes it almost impossible to cleanly wire the system.
Overall Review: Memory: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 245 Regor The ASUS M4A785-M I just used for a different build was laid out way better but no where near as capable or stable. I purchased a APEVIA 9.5" 4 Pin P4 /12V to 8 Pin P8 /12V Power Supply Converter Cable though I'm not sure if it would have complained without it.
Sweet
Pros: Cheap and overclockable... What else do you really need?
Cons: not free
Overall Review: Possibly might want a better heat sink if you plan to REALLY overclock these as the stock one is adequate but not great.
Greatest router yet!
Pros: I have owned 4 of these starting with WRT54g v1 and with a properly configured DD-WRT installation these are so feature packed its almost stupid to not buy one.
Cons: Does not support N or make me coffee
