Pros: this MB is so nice!!! takes quad core apu! good room for addons! with the right extras, will work like a dream, setup was easy!

Cons: I can't think of anything.

Overall Review: a Good bang-for-your-buck MB!

Pros: this is a nice drive, I got it for a main drive (oops, did get the difference between green and blue at the time) but I have not had trouble from it yet (3 months). I am thinking about getting a wd blue just incase the green isn't made for it.

Cons: no problems yet

Overall Review: wanting to get a WD blue to use as a main drive instead.

Pros: what can I say, I installed it and forgot about it! no trouble so far (3 months).

Cons: none that I can think of.

Overall Review: the heatsinks are a nice touch!

Good, but could be better

Athena Power RM-4U4038B48 Black 1.0mm Steel 4U Rackmount Server Case 480W Power Supply 3 External 5.25" Drive Bays

Pros: it works, space is managable... room for many 3.5 drives.

Cons: Plan on buying a PSU, the stock is only 480w, the connections are as follows: 24pin MB, 4pin CPU, 2 x sata, 4 molex, 2 x 6pin pci. 4pin floppy. stock fans are nice, but you have to work with the molex connection pins to stay put.

Overall Review: overall, nice, not awesome, just nice.

It's windows

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

Pros: what can I say, it's windows... :D I would say it's good. it is something to get used to after using XP, but it is better and more reliable... IE9 is awesome when using with win7!

Cons: can get confusing at times... but it IS a OS... price is a little steep, but like I said, it IS an OS.

Nice Cheap small cooler

ARCTIC Alpine 64 GT CPU Cooler - AMD, Supports Multiple Sockets, 80mm PWM Fan at 22dBA

Pros: small, cheap, keeps apu cool, all around nice cooler.

Cons: there are not any that I have seen, APU can run *warm* with heavy loads (most I seen was 80* F)

Overall Review: I got this one because I made the mistake of getting a cooler too big for my case (oops... lol) all around nice little fan! A+ for price!
