Great Stuff!
Arctic Silver Arcticlean Thermal material Remover & Surface Purifier ACN-60ML (2-PC-SET)
Pros: - Works great on removing old grease. - Smells kind nice... Is that a good thing or a bad thing? And for that matter, should I even be smelling this?!?
Cons: - Um... It wasn't free?
Overall Review: - Get this and you won't be disappointed!

Stay Away!!!
ENCORE ENLWI-G(2) Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g TPCI Standard Universal Add-in card Compliant with PCI 2.0 Up to 54Mbps Wireless Data Rates
Pros: It has 64-bit support...
Cons: Would link up with my router, but not with the internet. My old Linksys USB Wirless worked, even though it had no 64-bit drivers available but some kind souls made some an posted workarounds on Cisco Systems forums. As others have pointed out, the software prevents user switching. Boo!
Overall Review: I'm going to RMA this hunk of junk back. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $20 or so on a good wireless card.

A Gamer's Dream
G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B
Pros: 2gigs a piece? For that price? And with those timings? Perfect!
Cons: Not a con, but make sure you have room due to the heat spreaders.
Overall Review: Make sure you have a 64-bit OS so it can read all 4 gigs of RAM. Otherwise, you will be "missing" a gig.

It's Huge!
COOLER MASTER Intel Core i5 compatible GeminII S RR-CCH-PBU1-GP 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler
Pros: - Works like a charm. Does it job well.
Cons: - It is massive! Not a real con, but if this was pictured on a board, I would have a better understanding of it's dimensions. - Mounting is a pain. If you have an extra pair of hands -- and I mean a person -- things are easier to do.
Overall Review: - It fits my case well.

Ok, I'll bite
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 64-bit for System Builders
Pros: It's a soild OS with SP1. Simple as that.
Cons: Make sure you have official or some workaround drivers for your stuff. Companies are not really getting that the way of the future is in 64-bit OS. Not a drop of an egg, but still something you need to know.
Overall Review: Those Mac commercials blow things out of perceptive. Vista with SP1 is solid.

Nice CPU
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 3.2 GHz Socket AM2 125W Processor - ADX6400CZBOX
Pros: - Powerful for the price. - Nice heatsink in the box, although I used a different one.
Cons: - She's HOT! Aftermarket coolers are necessary to OC this thing. Under stock settings with my aftermarket heatsink, it is around 48C with Arctic Silver 5. Not bad, but not good either.
Overall Review: - It's strong as is, but if you want to OC, you might want a extremely powerful heatsink.
