Great Cathodes

LOGISYS Computer CLK15GN 15" Green Deluxe Sound Activated Cold Cathode Kit
LOGISYS Computer CLK15GN 15" Green Deluxe Sound Activated Cold Cathode Kit

Pros: Great Color.. Really Bright in my case.. Easy to Setup.. Able to connect two to one controller...

Cons: None

Overall Review: I would be sure your case is large enough for these.. Mine barely fit on the inside case window of my Antec 900 case... I bought two when one would have been plenty to light up my case :D ..

What I expected From Western Digital

Western Digital Caviar GP WD7500AACS 750GB 5400 to 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital Caviar GP WD7500AACS 750GB 5400 to 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Solid Hard Drive, Lots of space, Great Brand..

Cons: The variable drive speed is a bit of a con and I only really notice it when I copy tons of files, but for the price per gigabyte I really don't mind at all.

Great Card!

BFG Tech GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Video Card BFGE88512GTSE

Pros: Amazing card, Huge upgrade from my 7800gt, So Close to the price of an 8800gt with performance almost that of an 8800gtx, On stock settings I scored a 10,240 in 3dMark06, HL2 engine based games run absolutely flawlessly with all the eye candy maxed (I get 200+ Frames in CS:S), Can run Crysis at very acceptable framerates on High settings(1680x1050) gets a little laggy in spots when tons of stuff is going on, but even the lag I experience there is at a much higher framerate than what I got on my old rig (4200x2 s939, 2gb ram, 7800gt), Stock cooler does a really good job, practically silent operation until you turn up the fan.

Cons: Hmmm, I guess there would only be a con if the price gap of this and the 8800gt increased, Then the 8800gt would probably be a better buy.

Overall Review: As I said, the card is quiet at stock settings but if you max the fan, It definitely sounds like a leaf blower, I almost went with an 8800gt but for a bit more cash I got a much better card, and according to several review sites, the best card for Crysis on the market right now. And for all those who are judging how their current system may fare with this.. My Current Rig: Intel Core 2 Duo e6600 @ 2.4ghz per core, 2gb DDR2 800 RAM, BFG 8800gts 512mb Video Card, Antec 900 Case, 610watt Pc Power and Cooling PSU,

Not Bad..

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ - Athlon 64 X2 Manchester Dual-Core 2.2 GHz Socket 939 89W Processor - ADA4200DAA5BV

Pros: Great Performance Boost from my old 3700+, My Framerates in UT3, Team Fortress 2, and the Crysis Demo improved. I was getting down in the 20's with my 7800Gt and my old processor in TF2. I now average a very playable 50fps in those problem areas. (Running at Most settings on High @ 1680x1050) Dual core really does make a difference when multitasking. This upgrade may not blow you away but for the price, the performance boost is worth it.

Cons: Not a "night and day" difference like some upgrades are, but I really didn't expect this to do that. 512k of cache kinda holds this processor back.

Overall Review: Well worth it for a quick upgrade if you're still using a 939 board.

Great Laptop

ASUS Laptop F3 Series AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 1GB Memory 120GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 15.4" Windows Vista Home Premium F3T-AP042C
ASUS Laptop F3 Series AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 1GB Memory 120GB HDD NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 15.4" Windows Vista Home Premium F3T-AP042C

Pros: Well built, really Stylish Look, Free bag is well made and is a good perk, Performance is excellent considering its a Vista machine/laptop, Counterstrike: Source runs at native res with most settings maxed (No AA or AF) at about 45-80 frames on stock maps.

Cons: Battery Life is a little lacking, about an Hour and 15 minutes when Playing a Graphically intensive game at max brightness with no sound, but for the performance its not really a complaint. Gets A Little Warm around where your left hand sits when you're typing, but its not really all that much of a problem. They made 2 separate partitions ( One for Data and One for The OS ) which kind of gets on my nerves, I guess I can re-format if it really starts to bother me.

Overall Review: If you have the cash, this is probably the best laptop for it. ASUS always makes quality stuff. Oh.. and Get another Gig o' Ram for this, you definitely won't regret it.

Great Card...

EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Video Card 320-P2-N811-AR

Pros: Great Framerates in any of the current generation games.. Oblivion HL2, DOD:S, Flatout 2, Doom 3, run like nothing on this card (60+ Frames with all eyecandy turned on).. Built a system with this in it for a friend.. I had this paired with a core 2 duo e6320 and 2 gigs of Gskill DDR800, This system absolutely screams, It makes my 7800gt Seem like a Voodoo 3...

Cons: All of these games were being run at 1280x1024.. his LCD's Native res.. I'm sure that once you would move into higher resolution territory you'll probably start experiencing some framerate issues.. I would have probably gone with the 640mb version if he had a higher resolution monitor...

Overall Review: This Card is Freaking huge... and it takes up 2 bays.. I'd just keep that in mind... in a NZXT apollo Case it leaves a little under an inch to the drive bays...
