It's windows.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional With SP2B 1 Pack
Microsoft Windows XP Professional With SP2B 1 Pack

Pros: It's windows.

Cons: It's windows.

Overall Review: Yeah yeah. The good and bad of windows. Anyways, this oem disk is for system builders. I used this on a system I was building for a friend. One problem is that once your register licence, you can't really reinstall windows without having to explain to phone support what happened. Had a fun time testing and retesting the system I built with that problem. Try not to register/activate your copy till you know you got it installed right and the hardware won't fail.

Decent enough

Pros: Nice and cheap. The thing worked in all the systems I've tried with it.

Cons: Doesn't protect your hard drive from falls. The hard drive came loose from it's connector which required to open the case again to fix. Screws stripped when opening it.

Overall Review: Decent enough for a cheap case, just get a tough hard drive and make sure the thing fits well in the case so it doesn't come loose.

Nice

SHURE I2C 2.5mm/ 3.5mm Connector Canal Integrated Sound Isolating Earphones & Mobile Headset

Pros: Sound is fairly balenced, as long as you put them in your ear correctly.

Cons: Left channel cable broke after a month of use. Volume control was flawed a bit, nice bump in volume near the end. Shure support said they will replace it, just a matter of getting it in.

Overall Review: The mobile connector [2.5mm] is not stereo, keep this in mind if you want to listen to music from your cellphone or what not. :)

Ok.

Pros: Nice, cheap, lightscribe support, does all formats.

Cons: Fails to burn the vista rc1 x64 iso. Not sure why, may just be the disks I'm using.

Nice.

EVGA 256-P2-N584-AR GeForce 7900GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported KO Video Card

Pros: Quieter then the normal heatsink/fan that GeForce 7xxx come with. Rips through everything I threw at it. SLi ready.

Cons: None really.

Overall Review: I'd suggest getting the drivers directly off nvidia's website instead of using the cd.
