2490 MF

Konica Minolta magicolor magicolor 2490MF MFC / All-In-One Up to 20 ppm 2400 x 600 dpi, 1200 x 600 dpi, 600 x 600 dpi Color Print Quality Color Ethernet (RJ-45) / USB Electrophotographic Laser Printer

Pros: Excellent multifunction color laser. Good scan qualities. The only sub $1500 rig I could find which has the ability to duplex the pages.

Cons: The duplexer is a separate add on and the cheapest I have found is about $400. Also Newegg doesn't sell the duplexer either (bummer).

Overall Review: I just switch over to Vista a month or two after purchasing the printer. You must go to the web site to download the updated printer drivers and you must install the scanner driver before installing vista. Konica is working on this but no fix yet. Oh, well that's a first what a first adopter gets.

Decent for the price

Rosewill RC-216 PCI Express eSATA II x 2 / ATA 133 x1 RAID 0/1/0+1/JBOD mode Controller Card
Rosewill RC-216 PCI Express eSATA II x 2 / ATA 133 x1 RAID 0/1/0+1/JBOD mode Controller Card

Pros: Fairly good for the raid/basic sata adapter for the 1xPCI express ports. I have the EVGA SLI board (which I love) but i just need 2 more sata connections. This care was a good fit due to restrictions inside the case from 8800 gtx's. Plug and play in Vista.

Cons: It's only 2 ports total active(i.e. any combo of internal or external parts). The manual was wrong on how to set the jumpers. Spent 15 minutes uninstalling and reinstalling the card. You must set the jumpers yourself to turn on the external ports. By default it ships with internal connectors on only. BTW the manual was wrong on how to set the jumpers.

Overall Review: I would have given it 4 eggs if the manual had been less sloppy.

Cool is an understatement

MASSCOOL SYTRIN Kuformula SHF1 Ultra HDD Cooler – BK
MASSCOOL SYTRIN Kuformula SHF1 Ultra HDD Cooler – BK

Pros: Rock solid performance for a hard drive cooler. Looks very cool in an open case display. Keeps my hard drives (especially the raptors nice and chilly).

Cons: To bad newegg doesn't carry the other colors besides black. The new ones I just purchased have brighter leds than my old ones. Not supplemental to airflow of the case as a whole, but my CM 832 doesn't mind at all.

Overall Review: Looking at employing these in the Cosmos S case. I think it would be awesome on the front.

Awesome Case!

Cooler Master Stacker RC-832-KKN1-GP Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: This just completely rocks. I have owned it for over a month now. Idle temps have been cool to say the least.

Cons: I had to do a little creative dremmeling on the side panel fan cage to allow for space of swiftech h20-120 compact water cooler since I moved the radiator inside the case. Slightly annoying, but no big deal.

Overall Review: Worth every dime I paid, and I got this on a $50 rebate at the time. Newegg rocks!!!
