Most Favorable Review

Works for Now...

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

Pros: Cheap Price.

Cons: -It is tied to only one motherboard (if the motherboard fails and I get a different model, I'm in trouble). -Windows 7 (C'mon... its Microsoft, that's always a downer...)

Overall Review: -If you plan to install it on more than one computer... DON'T buy it. It is not tied to a single hard drive or NIC card, but the motherboard, however, if the motherboard fails, you may replace it with the same model motherboard. A different model motherboard will cause the OS not to start, for licensing reasons. -YOU CAN STILL CREATE A BACKUP!!!

Most Critical Review

Not Enough Power...

COOLMAX CX-400B 400 W ATX v2.01 Power Supply
COOLMAX CX-400B 400 W ATX v2.01 Power Supply

Pros: Sleek look. Average Power Rating. Extra SATA power connectors from Molex.

Cons: Its not really 400W... ITS REALLY 375W...

Overall Review: I needed 400W, at least, to run a video card (when this is really 375W)... they lied... it won't last more than a month before it fries... DON'T BUY IF YOU NEED MORE POWER...

Great Dual Core

AMD Athlon II X2 250 - Athlon II X2 Regor Dual-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM3 65W Desktop Processor - ADX250OCGMBOX
AMD Athlon II X2 250 - Athlon II X2 Regor Dual-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM3 65W Desktop Processor - ADX250OCGMBOX

Pros: -Dual-Core -3.0 GHz -Low Price -S*** (Censored) on Intel

Cons: -None

Overall Review: If you want a gaming processor, spend $30 more and get the AMD Phenom Black Edition. It is much more worth it, and if you are lucky, you can unlock it to a quad-core.

Perfect

BYTECC SATA-118D 1.5 ft. Serial ATA-150/300 Cable L Shape plug w/Locking Latch

Pros: -Low Price -Good Length -L-Shape Perfect for Some Cases

Cons: -None

Overall Review: Great for the price. MAKE SURE YOU MEASURE THE LENGTH YOU NEED. Although this was enough for me, I though it would be enough for some cable management, but its not, although it didn't bother me.
