Nice,simple,solid, good buy

Pros: Good bios setup with many options for OC'ing or general tweaking. Solid board so far.
Cons: None so far.
Overall Review: For the price and it's flexibility in configuration it's a good board.
O.K. but not great

Pros: Nice clean case for non flashy systems.
Cons: Packaging was o.k. but somewhat damaged. Front audio ports DOA.
Overall Review: So far I haven't had the PS die on me, we will see.
It's XP, what more do you want....

Pros: Needed to replace Vista on a new machine. Arrived quick and as expected.
Cons: Wouldn't mind a bit more price break, maybe do my laundry as well.
Overall Review: Altho Vista has been out long enough to mature, XP in any flavor is still a much better platform than Vista. I will move to Windows 7 after it comes out but only one machine at a time.
As it should be

Pros: Good GB/$, fast and works as it should. I debated the options available and decided to spend a bit extra for the Western Digital reliability. Many of the terabyte drives are having problems, I remember the same growing pains when drives hit the gigabyte range. I do not have it in raid but do have the drive constantly accessed. Drive performance has been exactly as expected. Reliable and quick, I'll be buying another one of these drive shortly.
Cons: None.
Overall Review: New Egg packing has improved with new paper stuffing verses peanuts. Drive was bubble wrapped and paper packed. Drive was somewhat centered in box, not in one corner like with peanuts. As always New Egg Rocks!
Performer but a bit hot

Pros: Good solid card when it's not running hot. Tweaking capability is fairly simple in software, and advanced OC'ing capabilitys.
Cons: Needs better cooling solution. I stuck a 80mm fan directly on it and it helped out big time. Idle temp of stock card was 45-48 getting up to 65-70 on full loads. Would lock up machine when overheating. With fan it has yet to reach 50 on full load OC'd.
Overall Review: Runs BF2142, Dirt, ect... and 3D CAD and video apps I have very smoothly. This was a new work station for me that dubs as a game machine. I'm not dissapointed at all.
Finding Reasurance

Pros: Performance tweeking is o.k. but not the best, but when it stable, it's stable. Solid product so far, I'm very happy with them.
Cons: Not a huge fan of packaging, a little flimsy if you ask me.
Overall Review: Wasn't sure about them up front, but they are proving to be a solid performer and I will buy more in the future.
