Most Favorable Review
Rosewill - Pellucid HD Series Swivel HDMI cable (15 FEET)
Rosewill - Pellucid HD Series Swivel HDMI cable (15 FEET)

Pros: Swivel feature makes it easier to attach the cable into tight places.

Cons: The swivel makes the head wider. My video card's PC port is right next to the HDMI port and the wide heads get in each other's way so the HDMI isn't aligned straight.

AMD Phenom X3 8750 Black Edition - Phenom X3 Toliman Triple-Core 2.4 GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Processor - HD875ZWCGHBOX
AMD Phenom X3 8750 Black Edition - Phenom X3 Toliman Triple-Core 2.4 GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Processor - HD875ZWCGHBOX

Pros: Works great. Fast, reliable. Easy to overclock. I was able to overclock it from 2.4 GHz to 2.88 GHz with only a 5 degree change in temperature (runs at about 38 - 40 degrees now instead of the usual 33). Great deal.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I might try to unlick the fourth core someday, but it already does all that I need it to do so I may not bother with it.

Rosewill Stallion Series 500W ATX12V Gaming Power Supply - RD500-2DB

Pros: Plently of power for my system. Cool blue light.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Might not be powerful enough to really ramp up my system, but I didn't buy it for that anyway.

BIOSTAR TA790GXE AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
BIOSTAR TA790GXE AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Easy to install. Nice hard copy instruction manual. Overclocking was a breeze with the built in overclocking V6, V8, V12 options (like a car engine - more cylinders = more power).

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Great board. I bought it as a combo with a AMD Phenom x3 processor (2.4 GHz). I was able to overclock it to 2.88 GHz with just a click on the BIOS.

GELID Solutions FN-TX09-20 92mm Case Fan with Superior Temperature Control
GELID Solutions FN-TX09-20 92mm Case Fan with Superior Temperature Control

Pros: Cool blue light. Runs quiet.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Put this in the back of my case to make sure my CPU and video cards get plenty of fresh air. It works like a charm. Hooking up to my motherboard was a breeze.
