Amazing

Intel 520 Series Cherryville 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2CW240A3K5
Intel 520 Series Cherryville 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) SSDSC2CW240A3K5

Pros: I have had this in my main desktop for awhile now and it is just amazing. I have had no issues with it.

Cons: I want more of these!

Overall Review: The reason why I went with intel for an ssd is not just because of the speed, but also because of the reliability and how stable they are. Their are others like OCZ that have same specs and cheaper, but Intel lasts way longer then other SSDs.

ASUS P6T LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P6T LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: It has 8 sata ports and software works with windows 7.

Cons: 1st motherboard the memory module was bad. I didn't know this until I hooked everything up (including water cooling). I had to send that in to newegg for a RMA. They replaced it with no problems. The second p6t motherboard has a raid issue.... My computer freezes up on me and says that one of my hard drives are bad (each time different hard drive). I have raid 1+0, so if only one hard drive goes bad computer should still function fine. I also get errors when playing games about not being able to find a file, so I am guessing this is why. Next time I will not be going with ASUS for a motherboard. I have to much invested in my computer to keep ripping it apart with liquid coolant in it. One time issue ok it happens I can understand that, but twice umm no... That is unacceptable. ASUS set me up with a RMA number so they will send me a new one hopefully this one isnt bad as well..... I am not please with ASUS anymore. I can honestly say you just lost a customer for awhile...

Overall Review: Test your products ASUS before you give to customers that spend good money on them...

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL

Pros: Awesome ram. the XMP Profile is solid, low profile heat sink, and all around solid.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Put this in a new amd htpc rig Found out my corsair vengeance ram was going out, so buy another set for my desktop (i7 2600k).

Nice little case.

Pros: * Case divided into two section * Has front LED * Looks nice, solid, and compact * Has good cooling design

Cons: * The HDD cage should of really been shifted forward to allow using full size PSUs easily. I am using a 620W power supply, so even with right angle sata and power it would still be a tight fit, but I don't have right angle power, so I had to extend the mounting holes for the hard drive some to move the HDD about a cm forward. This allowed me to use a right angle sata cable easily and normal power cable (power cable is still cramped, but works). I would have moved the hard drive forward a little more then I already have, but there is a hinge in the way, but everything works now, so whatever. I really wanted to take an egg off because of the HDD cage, but nothing else seems to have any issues, so I decided not to.

Overall Review: The cooling design works out nicely for me. The cold air comes in from the front of the bottom section and out the back part of the power supply. What I have in my computer this works out good because there is not much heat produced, but if I had more heat in the case I would add two 80mm fans in the back of the bottom section and replace the front 120mm fan. The 120mm is silent and works though. I would recommend this case and it was interesting putting the computer together (not in a bad way). Also right angle SATA cables for HDD is a must!

Pros: Works like a charm. I bought four of them and currently using 2 in raid 0. Only company I buy hard drives from is WD (unless another one is noticeably better in performance & in the future when SSDs become more popular don't know who is gonna be the top brand).

Cons: No problems what so ever. I have had them since april 2009.

Works great
