Most Favorable Review

nice heat sink,,,however

Cooler Master Hyper TX3 - CPU Cooler with 3 Direct Contact Heatpipes
Cooler Master Hyper TX3 - CPU Cooler with 3 Direct Contact Heatpipes

Pros: I would have given this a 5-star, however, it wasn't very easy to attached. I needed to do a little of my "self-engineering" to figure out how to make it work. The instructions are poorly written so I just had to arrange the parts on my table in different config's to see how to put it together. I used the wire clips to hold the fan to the heat sink. It's solid and won't drop. I made sure of this.

Cons: Somewhat deceiving in its ease of assembly.

Overall Review: The work instructions need to be re-written to be clearer especially for beginner sys builders. I used to write WI as an engineer and these, IMO, are poorly written. You have to write WIs from the operator's pov, not the engineer's pov.

Excellent OS

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders

Pros: I will repeat what Zac H. stated: Blazing fast startup. Shutting down takes under 10 seconds! Windows 7 also installed all of the drivers I needed right off the bat. May or may not be the case for you. I think Win 7 Pro is absolutely the best OS I have ever worked with since Win 95.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Tons better than XP and Vista. I have had no driver issues, download issues from Blue Reg or Stopzilla AND my HP 6500 Wireless printer uploaded all drivers fast!

Crucial 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory

Pros: I bought this RAM when the 3 sticks were only $125.00 near the first week of November this year. That was a great price and then I added another 2 gig stick. My new sys is a monster and is the best one I've built to date. Gread RAM and does what it is supposed to do.

Cons: none

Overall Review: none
