Overall Review: Got an IDE optiarc in my old system that I passed to wife, works like a champ and this one is doing the same.

Most Critical Review

Good, unless you overclock

MSI 870A-G54 AM3 AMD 870 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI 870A-G54 AM3 AMD 870 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: No problems whatsoever, until I went to clock the Adata 1600 DDR3 ram. The board defaults it at 1333, so when I tweaked it up to 1600, I get BSOD with a memory management error. Have had it running at 1333 for 3 days straight, burned movies, games. downloads running, nothing. As soon as I put in 1600, crash and burn, baby.

Cons: MSI website stinks. No easy links to forums, can't even tell MSI how much I wish I still had my Biostar MB, instead. If you plan on running anything higher than 1333, I'd buy a different board.

Overall Review: Flashed bios to current edition, still crashes. If you plan on overclocking, stay away. Military grade? What is that? Will it survive a thermonuclear war? Doubt it.

XPG 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model AX3U1600GB2G9-2G

Pros: Fast, inexpensive, really fast!

Cons: Did not work in MY MSI 870A-G54 running at 1600. Would BSOD with memory management errors. In Bios I turned it down to 1333 and ran fine. Stuck in wife's computer, it is fast. Runs at 1600 on her Biostar. She loves it, and I'm still stuck at 1066, sooo slooowwwww.

Overall Review: If you get this on sale for 75 or less, I must recommend that you snatch this up. It runs good at clock speeds and overclocks like no tomorrow.

LOGISYS Computer LT400GN 80mm Green LED Case Cooling Fan
LOGISYS Computer LT400GN 80mm Green LED Case Cooling Fan

Pros: They are Green, probably why you bought them. It's why I bought them, well for my wife. Move lots of air, quiet, green.

Cons: They are bright. I have 3x 80mm, 3x 120mm fans. They all are green LEDs. Airplanes are circling my apartment complex. I have no problems walking into my living room, it's never dark.

Overall Review: Do what they say, and then some. Just in case you missed it, they are really, really bright.

Good solid case and excellent airflow

RAIDMAX SMILODON Extreme Black ATX-612WEBP 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power Supply

Pros: It was for my wife, it's green and glows. Good airflow, keeps everything cool. Came with enough fans to place in all 4 positions. 2 glow, 2 do not. Easy open door for easy access from either side of case. Everything works perfectly, wife's happy, so I'm happy.

Cons: Came with power supply, never trusted those OEMs. Been running for almost 2 weeks straight, no problems. Could probably stand another sata cable or 2, but not enough to take away an egg.

Overall Review: Bought 2 other LED fans to replace the OEM ones, and this case glows. It's like leaving a light on in the living room. Massively lighted, just so you know if you think about doing that. Heard bad things about shipping, but not even a crushed corner on my box.

Excellent

Patriot Viper 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Desktop Memory Model PVS24G8500ELKNB

Pros: Lightning fast, 5-5-5-15 let's you get some serious framrates. Heavy duty heatsinks that would probably last through a small nuclear meltdown.

Cons: Comes with 3DMark Vantage. I'm a huge o.c. fan, and this new test is so pro Nvidia it is NOT even funny. They use PhysX graphics tests, which of course was recently bought by Nvidia and is now integrated into forceware. Kinda ruffled my feathers to see a 9600GT card outperform my 4830 o.c. at 700Mhz-1200Mhz.

Overall Review: This stuff is worth every penny you spend. Even with rebate.
