Pros: I downgraded from Vista Ultimate 64 and the results are very noticeable! When I would boot up Vista (with some basic programs like AVG, Steam, wireless utils, Ati CCC, etc) I would be using about 2GB right off the bat. Not a problem for me since I have 4GB, but it made my system feel slow. (Q6600 @ 3.2, HD4870, 640GB (OS) and 2x1TB RAID 0 (storage) - a high performance system) Now with XP when I boot up fresh I'll have about 750MB in use, and right now with a bunch of programs open I'm using 1.26GB. BIG improvement on system resources! DX10 is not a big concern to me right now, and I didn't want to jump on the Win7 boat just yet as it's still a very new OS.

Cons: no dx10, and a few minor things here and there, but the benefits to me far outweigh the detractors and definitely not enough to mark it down an Egg.

Overall Review: I think it's a good idea to have a legit copy of XP handy, especially for any older systems or ones with limited resources (like a netbook). Vista has its ups and downs, and there admittedly are SOME things I miss about Vista, but overall I'm much happier with XP!

Pros: BEST VALUE. Just look at the ratings for this sucker - it has the best ratings on NewEgg for drives 1TB+. That says a lot. Think about it, hundreds of people LOVE this drive... I think it speaks volumes. I have 2 of these in RAID 0 for a massive 2TB storage volume with a nice gain in speed. I haven't done any benchmarks but I do notice a slight difference when loading games from the RAID with these drives vs. my 640GB WD6400AAKS which is one of the fastest 7200RPM drives on the market.

Cons: no!

Overall Review: There are other great products here on Newegg that are priced similarly, ie. the Spinpoint, and the CG8 1.5TB. When you do the math the 1.5TB is the lowest cost per GB at just under 8.6 cents per GB, while this drive works out to 10.5 cents per GB. I personally prefer WD because of my experience with their drives. And then you have to consider the customer feedback. The 1.5TB drive has more reviews but 1 in 4 users had severe problems with it, especially those using a RAID setup. So based on the fact that you're going to be storing insane amounts of data on this drive, I'm going to go with the most reliable drive, and this fits the bill better than any of its competitors by a long shot! Western Digital is awesome, and NEWEGG ROCKS!!

Pros: My second build, my first overclock. Q6600 @ 3400MHz. My temp is at 45C right now because I didn't have my HD4870's fan on, and that thing runs HOT without constant cooling. The 4870 is at about 80C at IDLE with the default fan settings for that, so I have the fan run at 40% constantly, bringing the vid card core temp to about 52C. In other words, my video card has been blowing hot air around and raising the temp of the CPU. With the vid card's fan running at a fixed rate like I said, the overall temp of the case comes down and the proc idles at about 40C on the upper end. I've NEVER seen the processor touch even 50C under full load (running a virus scan + playing GTA4 or L4D with max graphic settings, playing music, etc) and even with the 4870's fan OFF I can't hear the CPU fan. Quiet, cool, and I personally didn't have any problems installing it, I recommend it 100%.

Cons: Since it's an "ARCTIC" cooler, I was kinda hoping I could get some Eskimo chicks to come cool me off with a lap dance, but unfortunately it didn't happen, maybe next time?

Overall Review: how often do you see a 5 star rating with 3000+ reviews? the numbers speak for themselves.

Pros: I have owned this product (purchased through newegg, of course) for almost 3 years - purchased on 12/9/2005. The drive has worked like a charm. It has been to multiple computers, in and out of storage boxes and left to collect dust more than once. And still to this day, it turns on and powers my hard drive. What else do I need to say about that?!??

Cons: read the pros and ask yourself if there really are any cons at all. i'll give you a hint: no, there are no cons.

Overall Review: It's exactly what you think it is. An awesome drive. Just look at the number of reviews and ratings for ANY other external enclosure. nothing comes close at all. it's worth the couple extra bucks you'll pay for it - like i said, it has run without a hiccup EVER in the 3 years I've owned this thing.

Pros: I have owned plenty of speakers, especially top notch headphones (Sennheiser HD500, HD280pro, HD595) and these speakers are absolutely on par with these high-end audiophile devices. I was once wary of Logitech speakers, but obviously I've only heard cheap stuff - these are worth EVERY penny and then some! I would have paid $150 for a 2.1 system like this, easily - newegg has them for a BARGAIN at 2/3 of that price!

Cons: ABSOLUTELY NONE!!!

Overall Review: The wired remote is great. It has a main volume knob, a bass volume knob, power button and headphone input. And the volume knob DOES control the headphone output! YES!! I love these speakers and I can tell within minutes of using them that they are top-shelf quality and build. BIG, heavy subwoofer (in case you don't know, a heavy sub is a GOOD thing..) and the satellites have excellent range for the whole range of sounds. I am a DJ and I take my music seriously - classic, jazz, indie, rap, everything is important to me, and these do it all. Did I mention I'm in love with Logitech?

Pros: GREAT noise isolation. I have had other Sennheisers: HD500 and HD595, both of which are open circulation, and their downside was it wouldn't keep background noise out. As for sound quality, these are excellent and DEFINITELY worth the money. The HD595's are really high-end headphones for audiophiles (like $250 when I bought 'em) and the HD280's stack up well, even with those. I paired this up with an X-Fi card and my video games haven't sounded better. The perfect headphones for my superl33t gaming machine :D seriously, these headphones are a steal for the price. you won't find another pair of headphones as good as these for the price and the reputation Sennheiser has - buy them, it's worth every penny.

Cons: my girlfriend gets mad 'cuz she has to YELL at me to get my attention... but that could be a plus :)

Overall Review: intel q6600, visiontek HD4870, 4GB gskill DDR2 1066, 640GB hdd, x-fi xtremegamer & these headphones. best gaming machine I ever had!!! and it wouldn't be complete without quality cans like these.
