Most Favorable Review

Good MoBo and works with a new AMD FX Processor too!

GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-S2P(rev 5.1) AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: I looks nice, good price and works fine with a AMD FX-4100 (3.6Ghz) Processor I bought for it.

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: I wasn't sure if this would work with the new FX processors, because it just mentioned Athlon, Phenom etc, but it does. Just thought this would help someone out!

Most Critical Review

Made System Unstable

SPECTEK by Micron Technology 4GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model ST4G3D160B
SPECTEK by Micron Technology 4GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model ST4G3D160B

Pros: None really..

Cons: Defective unit. Created a very unstable system. Machine would freeze with artifacts on the screen. Could not install Windows 7. Could not even make simple changes in the BIOS as you could never tell when the system would restart or freeze. BSOD on me several times. Different error code every time. RMAd it and we'll see if the next stick works.

Overall Review: I tried another stick of RAM from a working machine, and it brought the system to life. So no doubt a bad stick. I can't say they'll all be this way, but this one sure was. I'll update when the next stick arrives.

Good little case

Rosewill - FBM-01 Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case with Dual Fans
Rosewill - FBM-01 Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case with Dual Fans

Pros: Good price, two quiet fans, looks nice, decent build quality even good quality for the price, has mount for SSD on bottom of case,

Cons: The case metal is a tiny bit thin, but not a major problem..

Overall Review: I've gravitated to this little case for my budget builds for my clients. It comes with some quiet fans, looks nice and doesn't feel super cheap like a lot of the other budget cases I've used. I'm going to stick with this case for any budget build I have. It's a great case for the money. The metal could be a little thicker, but it's not really too bad. For a simple case, you can't go wrong.

Does what you'd think

BYTECC BT-1324 13" - 24" LCD Wall Mount, Max load 35lbs
BYTECC BT-1324 13" - 24" LCD Wall Mount, Max load 35lbs

Pros: Good price, Seems decently sturdy. Easy to install. Comes with all hardware to put it right up. Had my monitor up in about 10 mins. Even has little rubber covers for the bolts. And who doesn't love "anti-rusty" paint?

Cons: Can't think of any

Overall Review: Went right up on the wall and seems sturdy enough. Probably would hold it's rated weight, but if you try it, make sure you use those anchors or find a stud. Does the job. Can't complain. Left the bolt for the left and right movement slightly loose and now I can move the monitor from right to left depending on what side of my work bench I'm working on.

Cool Blue Quiet Fan

APEVIA CF4S-UBL 80mm Case Cooling Fan
APEVIA CF4S-UBL 80mm Case Cooling Fan

Pros: Looks cool. Decent price. Nice blue color. Fit right in the old fans spot without any problems. It's pretty quiet. Can't hear it above the other fans in the case.

Cons: wish it had a connector or adapter to hook it up to motherboard fan headers, but it's just 4 pin molex. Oh well.

Overall Review: Looks cool. it's really quiet i promise.

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: Easy to install, just worked right out of box. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit boots up in 17 seconds. Just wish I could have been able to afford a bigger size.
