Great Bang For the Buck!

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 - Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 3.1 GHz Socket AM2 89W Processor - ADV6000DOBOX
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000 - Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 3.1 GHz Socket AM2 89W Processor - ADV6000DOBOX

Pros: Awesome Speed for a x2 and the lowered wattage makes it a gotta have item! Like the heatpipe cooler, allows for some mod'ing. Comming from a single core AM2 4000+ to a X2 6000+ .. Just Better!

Cons: Noticed the heatpipe if you dont have a newer board, that the black plastic retainer come right up against the copper pipe. making it alittle more difficult to snap down. like the (Asus M2N-SLI)

Overall Review: Easy to install if your tech savy and don't rob ya blind from your pocketbook. otherwise, what are you waiting for?

Most Critical Review

Not Happy

SilverStone ST75F 750 W ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V SLI Ready Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply
SilverStone ST75F 750 W ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V SLI Ready Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Moduler Connections - don't have to use all the cables.

Cons: Sata Rails, not split up? - Non-working unit. Ever since I got this thing. It hasn't worked, never will post my board. I try my Antec 650 Earthwatts and it post's, even my dieing Apex(allied) 450W supply works. So I sent it back, guess what? they sent me the SAME DEFECTIVE PSU and put a Different Serial on it. I marked it with ultraviolet ink, that's how I know. An it Still Don't WORK!! I have never gotten to use this PSU!!

Overall Review: just from what I've read here, I could be on this marry-go-round for awhile, might as well just send me the 149.00 back! I'm never buying SilverStone Again!

Great PSU

Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V Ver.2.2 / EPS12V version 2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified  Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V Ver.2.2 / EPS12V version 2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply

Pros: Has enough Sata cables to reach everything in the case, plus an extra set on another line to give me even more than I would think I'd need.

Cons: sata cables again, wish they could have been reversed on the cable. So you dont have to fold them over to get them to connect to the drives.

Overall Review: Earthwatts 650w - No flaws, No hickups..

Gotta Love It

Seagate BarraCuda 7200.11 ST31000340AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate BarraCuda 7200.11 ST31000340AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Quiet, Lots Of Space and Fast.. I dunno what else I could say about this. oh yeah! 5 years if it dies early.

Cons: None..

Overall Review: after going from a 120Gb IDE to a 1T Sata.. I can say, It will take me a few hours to fill..

Not Very Pleased

SilverStone ST75F 750 W ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V SLI Ready Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply
SilverStone ST75F 750 W ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V SLI Ready Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Modular Connectors make it easy to only have what I wanted in the Case. Its quiet while running and stayed cool under load for the most part.

Cons: Sata Cable was alittle off, why couldn't both be made into two cables instead of having them all on one cable? only lasted 4 months, which is upsetting to see.

Overall Review: Only lasted 4 months and Died. I think the 5v has just gone out, or a connection inside has came loose from the molex connectors. I will have to RMA this back to SilverStone. I really hope they send me one that works better than this one did. however, I will not be placing this PSU back on my Main Rig! bought a A*tec 650 Earthwatts instead. sorry guys, better luck next life time.

Great card for the Buck

MSI Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card RX3870-T2D512E OC
MSI Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card RX3870-T2D512E OC

Pros: Dang good card for the buck, Or "Best Bang for your Buck".

Cons: HD audio on a video card? I still have yet to figure that one out. which the driver for it had to be manually installed + had to search for it on the cd. which the search driver function couldnt figure out what in heck it was. me either at first.

Overall Review: Its huge! its Bad A$$! It rocks! i dunno, it just plays everything I want close too or is at max settings.
