Pros: If you are looking for a great processor for a great price, this is the one to get. I easily overclocked mine to 2.4 and it still runs cooler and just as fast as my roommate's FX-53 and I paid about $xxx less than he did! Mine runs about 32 degrees C idle and about 39 degrees C under full load! If you get this processor and a gig of ram, you will have absolutely no trouble running anything. I can run any game out with max graphics settings and never slow down! This is a must have a for a hardcore gamer (on a budget like me)!

Cons: NOTHING!

Overall Review: My system is as follows: MB: Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro-SLI CPU: AMD Athlon X2 3800+ GPU: 2 x Chaintech 6600 256MB RAM: 2 x 512 Corsair Dual-Channel Value Select Memory

Pros: The case was extremely pretty and very lightweight (exactly something that I was looking for in a computer case).

Cons: The case was very fragile and the shipping box/packaging was not sufficient to ensure proper shipping security. This was apparent because I had to return the unit the day I got it because the front panel was broken off of the frame.

Overall Review: Overall, I gave it 3 eggs because it is a good design and exactly what I was looking for in a mid-tower case, but the unit could have been packaged a little better to avoid shipping damage.

Pros: This game is absolutely great. If you are looking for a FPS with pretty good graphics that doesn't require that you have a top of the line system, then this is the game to get. I was able to run this game with the following system (before I got my new one): CPU: Intel Celeron 2.5 GHz GPU: Nvidia PCI GeForce 5500 RAM: 2 x 256 Kingston Memory

Cons: Don't play this game online unless you have a fast internet connection. DO NOT PLAY ON DIAL-UP!

Overall Review: My new system runs this game like a dream: MB: Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro-SLI CPU: AMD Athlon X2 3800+ GPU: 2 x Chaintech (nvidia) 6600 256MB RAM: 2 x 512 Corsair Dual-Channel Value Select Memory

Pros: This motherboard is great if you are wanting a board that supports SLI and dual-channel ram. The dual-bios feature (where if your main bios goes out, the backup takes over until the main is fixed) is an awesome feature. The overclocking features on this board are awesome espeically with the program that comes with the board. The manual is the best part because it goes into detailed explaination of everything (it even has pictures)! A first-time builder could get this motherboard and easily install everything that you would need.

Cons: There were a few things that went wrong with mine. First, the motherboard was a little wider than what I was expecting. It is actually more of a square than it is a rectangle, so connecting my short power supply cords to my motherboard was a little bit of a pain. The other thing was that I didn't know that you had to switch around the SLI card by your PCI-Express slots to enable SLI (first time messing with SLI). Just make sure that you change the card around before you insert your graphics cards if you are going to be using the SLI feature.

Overall Review: Just make sure that your power supply cord is pretty long and that if you are going to be using SLI, then you change the card around. Other than that, I had absolutely no problems with this board. My system is as follows: MB: Gigabye GA-K8N Pro-SLI CPU: AMD Athlon X2 3800+ Graphics: 2 x Chaintech 6600 256MB in SLI RAM: 2 x 512 Corsair Dual-Channel Value Select Memory Hard Drive: 10,000 RPM Western Digital Raptor

Pros: This thing is super fast! My roommate and I both have them and you won't find a faster hard drive that is more stable for a cheaper price than this on the market! We both searched everywhere and we couldn't find a 10,000 rpm drive for less than $xxx and mine cost me $xxx! You put two of these on your computer in RAID 0, and you will have absolutely no problem loading anything! These babies scream!

Cons: The only real problem that I have is that when you put two of these things into one case, they get a little hot. All I had to do to fix this problem was to install an extra fan in my case to pull heat away from them. That was an easy fix for less than $x. Another thing, these drives are only noisy while you are putting them under stress. My case fans are louder than these drives whenever I am just doing normal stuff on my computer.

Overall Review: If you are a gamer, these things are a must-have! You put two of these babies in RAID 0 and you will not ever be slowed down by your hard drives ever again!
