Amazing

Flip Up LCD Thermal Control Panel
Flip Up LCD Thermal Control Panel

Pros: It's a very visually stunning controller; The display is very bright and colorful. Super easy install. And a very cost effective solution to make any case look great, and the tri controller works amazingly. It's very sturdy and feels more durable than most other controllers I've used. Simple yet detailed instructions are included. And all the cables are marked. And so far the only controller I've installed that the mounting holes ACTUALLY line up with a standard 5.25" bay. Also the fan cables are well designed to eliminate the need for a ton of zip ties to reduce wire-clutter. Will definately be using these in many builds to come. Thanks Newegg!!!

Cons: It doesn't automatically flip up. The thermal sensor tape isn't the highest quality but it works fine.

Overall Review: Very inexpensive solution for sweet looking, and functional controller panel.

Decent WiFi Cheap

Rosewill RNX-G300LX - Wireless WRT54 Wi-Fi Adapter - IEEE 802.11b/g, Up to 54 Mbps Data Rate, PCI Interface with 2 dBi Antenna
Rosewill RNX-G300LX - Wireless WRT54 Wi-Fi Adapter - IEEE 802.11b/g, Up to 54 Mbps Data Rate, PCI Interface with 2 dBi Antenna

Pros: It's not wireless N by any means, but it is perfect for downloading or surfing the web. The RALINK drivers included are the most stable drivers you can find. (They will work with almost ANY wifi card. just make sure to use WZC or you will "Think" it doesnt work well.

Cons: Online FPS at 70 ft lag a bit every now and then. (Inherent to ALL wiFi G networks)

Overall Review: It's good enough for other games like Warcraft 3 I host tons of games and have no problems. However I wouldn'ty Play Natural Selection Seriously, Every 3 minutes I get a 5 second lag spike lol. If your not a hardcore gamer, buy it. it's cheap and it works. I will be buying an N card for gaming but this is the perect cheap replacement on a budget. (Considering I only needed something to get online and stay online this is the perfect solution) It saved me the trouble of bridging with dd-wrt

Open Box?

JetWay JM26GT4-LF AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Decent Board with onboard video, Upgrade the video if you are gaming. Decent Overclocking features in the BIOS. I ordered the Open Box model.... I would haver never known it was an open box. It came with all the accessories and looked unopened. It even came in the retail box. Solid construction as well.

Cons: Only 2 RAM slots. I can use my usb keyboard to access the BIOS but not to press any key to boot from cd?!

Overall Review: Great board for this cheap. I also realized that the board did not list my CPU as being supported after I bought it. AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Windsor core. I still plugged it in and it worked. If it will take this one it will probably take the AM2 Opteron quad cores too. :D

Great Gaming Pad

Pros: It has been a decent alternate gaming pad For a very long time the keys have held up. Overall a decent gaming pad, Nice that the drivers aren't necessary so you can take it to a LAN party.

Cons: Not extremely good for warcraft 3. Some of they keys aren't as convenient as I would prefer I'E' zxc I normally used E for use and F for flashlight.

Overall Review: If you play alot of CS or other FPS' Just get it. You won't regret it.

Great cheap CPU

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM2 89W Processor - ADA5600CZBOX
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM2 89W Processor - ADA5600CZBOX

Pros: It worked out of the box. It's a cheap X2. The stock cooler is easy to install, and works awesome. Idle Temps on first boot were around 31c. Haven't performed a burn in yet but I like where it's going. Granted my case has what some would call excessive cooling, Ambient room temp is never above 60f and with 290 cfm's 2 110 cfm's and a 42 cfm fan It probably won't get much hotter once it's burned in. I wouldn't play crysis on full settings with this, but it sure makes Web editing a breeze.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Don't eat the stock thermal pad, tastes yucky!

Great PSU!

TOPOWER ZU-550EZ-1 550 W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
TOPOWER ZU-550EZ-1 550 W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply

Pros: It works. Voltages are stable and right on the mark. And it has rails. CHEAP! Solid construction, the finish is almost fingerprint invincible. Beats my friends brand name PSU in wattage, marks and price.

Cons: Only one set of rails are included. Was more than enough for this build.

Overall Review: If I could have ordered more than 1 I would have. Will definitely keep an eye out for restock. Thanks Newegg!!
