Pros: WD Brand, great testing software, easy RMA if needed. QUIET, I have owned a half a dozen WD drives and I have never regretted it.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Best drive for any money. I work my drives hard as I edit hours of video daily. For large video files and constant recording this is a great drive.

Video Rendering... Love it.

Pros: Love this chip. I edit and render video and it takes alot of CPU to get anything done fast. I upgraded from a 2.8 single core to this and what a difference. Super fast and very COOL. I can't believe how cool this thing runs. I am useing the same case and fans that I had before.

Cons: The CPU fan is a little loud but I have a desktop. On the floor I wouldn't notice it as much.

Overall Review: If I was into 3D modeling I would have gone with a quad core but for Video rendering this is as good as it gets.

Pros: yeah I could have saved 30.00 bucks and bought the popular and cheaper one but I read the reviews about Mobos frying and decided the extra 30.00 for quality was worth it. I have another one that I have been using for over 2 years without problems. Worth every penny.

Cons: None

Give your computer some backbone

Pros: Easy set up. No problems. All the parts I used played nice with this mobo. Very happy. I poured over reviews for weeks before choosing this one. I worked in video editing so I spend whatever is needed to get he job done fast and without hassle. This mobo did it for me.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Behind every good computer should be an equaly good mother board. If you put high dollar parts on a low dollar motherboard you won't get the best performance from you expensive parts. Don't skimp on a MOBO. It doesn't have to be the most expensive but it should be the best quality you can afford.
