Pros: Absolutely Amazing.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I haven't started overclocking them but I'm running 4 gigs of this and they've been awesome.

Most Critical Review

Keeps Disconnecting

Logitech MX 5500 Revolution Black Bluetooth Cordless Desktop Standard keyboard & Mouse Kit
Logitech MX 5500 Revolution Black Bluetooth Cordless Desktop Standard keyboard & Mouse Kit

Pros: Looks and feels great

Cons: This is the second one of these that I have gotten from Logitech and the second one that sporadically disconnects. If you like having to keep reconnecting things this is the keyboard for you. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for the disconnecting, but it happens at least once a day.

Overall Review: This is documented in the Logitech support forums and no one from Logitech seems to do much about it.

Stunning Performance

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 - Core 2 Extreme Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 130W Processor - BX80562QX6700
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 - Core 2 Extreme Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 130W Processor - BX80562QX6700

Pros: Its amazing. I do a bunch of CAM/CAD and the programs run slow on even the new core 2 duos. They are up and running before I expect it and the analyzing time has dropped substantially. I almost want to take it to work sometimes to get the models done that much faster.

Cons: None really

Overall Review: My comps on for at least 10 hours a time and even under full load it doesn't get much hotter than 52C under stock cooling. I can't wait to overclock this bad boy for gaming. A buddy worked for Intel so I got it for a little under 500 XD

Wow what a case

LIAN LI PC-60BPLUSII Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Awesome case! Incredibly light, amazing cooling, plus it doesn't look like an alien space ship with a ton of leds and other junk. If you're looking for a sharp looking case with awesome cooling, spend a few more bucks and get this one.

Cons: The side fan interfered with my GPUs so I took off the interior mount and just used a few thumb screws to mount it to the case exterior.

Overall Review: Looks great

Awesome in SLI

XFX PVT84JU1D4 GeForce 8600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Amazing, bought two of these for about what an 8800 cost and I'm out performing my friends overclocked 8800.

Cons: The fan-less cooling system isn't as effective as fans but you don't have the noise.

Overall Review: It already runs EVERYTHING maxed with good fps but I think I'm going to start overclocking them just for fun.

Amazing Wall Mounted

SCEPTRE x22wg-Gamer Black 22" 5ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen HDMI LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1,200:1, US Warranty
SCEPTRE x22wg-Gamer Black 22" 5ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen HDMI LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1,200:1, US Warranty

Pros: Just amazing! Since I wall mounted it, I was a little worried about the viewing angle since I wouldn't be able to move it. The only way that would be a problem is if I put my head against the wall. Watching HD movies and whatnot on this thing is absolutely Amazing!

Cons: Enough back light bleed through to be noticeable in really dark situations. Unless you're super picky though its nothing to stop you from buying this. Had a bit of a hard time adjusting the colors and stuff but I didn't read any of the manuals or anything like that.

Overall Review: The buttons are on the back to give it a cleaner look, it was weird for a bit but I'm used to it now. Wall mount this bad boy, I can't believe how much room it freed up (which is super important to me since I'm in a 8' x 10' dorm room). I bought this open box, so I got it cheaper and really don't have any complaints.
