Most Favorable Review

Is it snowing in my case?

Thermaltake CL-P0114 120mm Big Typhoon CPU Cooler
Thermaltake CL-P0114 120mm Big Typhoon CPU Cooler

Pros: Easy to install. Does what it is suppose to and without a bunch of noise.

Cons: none so far.

Overall Review: E6600 OC'd to 2.99GHZ on ASUS P5B Deluxe MB. With the Typhoon and some ArticSilver I am running low, low 40's with case on and both cores at 100%. Also have 4 10,000 RPM Raptor drives (All in a single RAID0 Array)in this little Antec Case so this is not coolest environment around I am sure.

SSD ROCKS!!!!

Kingston SSDNow V+ Series 2.5" 128GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SNVP325-S2/128GB

Pros: Price and Performance

Cons: NA

Overall Review: I have had one in my desk top for months now and it has better benchmarks than my 3 drive WD Raptor RAID O Array. Specs are 230/180 and I getting those with, from what I heard anyway, the only test that can accuratly test SSD drives. That would be ATTO Win Disk Benchmark. I just replaced the 4GB of Ram with 8GB of g.skill PC1333 and the slow 5,400 rpm drive in my new Sony VPCF111FX notebook with this SDD Drive. Now boot time is cut in half and apps load very snappy. I run VM images on this so load times for those are great. Bench is not as good but I contribute that to controllers and drivers. Only getting 180/130 on the notebook. Still much better than that darn spinning platter.

More memory for the Sony F111FX

G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBSQ
G.SKILL 8GB (2 x 4GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Laptop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBSQ

Pros: Price, Speed, Availability

Cons: NA

Overall Review: I have had my new Sony VPCF111FX for a week now and first I added the Kingston SSD V+ gen 2 128GB SSD drive to it (Thanks Newegg). That is a must have replacement for the always slow Sony 5,400 rpm drives. I need more Ram as I run VM images on this for demo purposes. It came with 4 GB and is great at 2 gig for root OS and then another 2 gig for a single image but I need to run 1 or even 2 more images so I got the (2)4GB mods. Snaped them right in and ran memory test and diags. All is good in ram land. 4 gig is good but 8 is great. More is better :)

Boss Audio 800W 2 Channels Bridgeable Marine Amplifier
Boss Audio 800W 2 Channels Bridgeable Marine Amplifier

Pros: size, marine grade, watts

Cons: none yet

Overall Review: I put two of these in my Polaris Ranger XP 700. Size was a big factor. One amp is for the 8-1/2" 180 watt wake board speakers from Acess Technologies. The other is for a marine grade bazooka tube subwoofer. Sansa Clip+ MP3 player goes direct into the amps. System rocks hard. Time for a dual batt setup though :)

SanDisk Sansa Clip+ 1.0" Black 4GB MP3 Player SDMX18R-004GK-A57

Pros: size, eez of use, sound quality

Cons: zero so far

Overall Review: I got this as part of my system for my 2008 polaris Ranger. Still waiting on the rest (two marine 800 watt BOSS 2 channel amps, 1 marine bazooka sub woofer, pair of marine Access Technologies 8" Full Range Wake Board Speakers). Rest should here over the next three days. It should rock!!!!!

Another Great Product by ASUS

ASUS P5B Deluxe LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5B Deluxe LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: About every connecter you could ask for. Very stable. Easy to OC. Egghead shipped as promised (thanks guys/gals). Vista Ready (All drivers came with my vista premium edition. Even the 4x69gb WD Raptor SATA drive RAID0 Array was found for install without loading ASUS/Intel driver disk).

Cons: None so far

Overall Review: Highly recommed. With the Typhoon HSF I am running low 40's OC'd to 2.99ghz with the e6600 and both cores maxed out at 100%, with case on.
