Powers my system

XCLIO XClio 450BL 450W ATX    Power Supply
XCLIO XClio 450BL 450W ATX Power Supply

Pros: Powers whatever I want, dual +12v, channel well components, powers my video card (x1950pro), 120mm fan that's quiet

Cons: Not many 4 pin molex connectors (easy for management, bad for many hdd's and such), wires not very long

Overall Review: Powering: 1 floppy drives, 2 cd/dvd rw drives, 1 hdd, core 2 duo e6400, sapphire x1950pro, 2 120mm case fans, 4 90mm fans easily

Amazing for the price

ASUS P5W DH DELUXE/WIFI-AP <GREEN> LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5W DH DELUXE/WIFI-AP <GREEN> LGA 775 Intel 975X ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Worked great with RAM, Core 2 Duo and quad core compatible. Remote, 8 channel audio

Cons: The heat pipe for the northbridge can get in the way sometimes, but that's because I'm using a large aftermarket cpu heatsink.

Great, but has its quirks

Thermaltake Armor Series VA8000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: Big,can hold pretty much any motherboard type, good looking, comes with 4 fans, tooless, support legs, window, good cooling, key

Cons: The little things that kind of go over the 5.25" bays aren't held shut at all, one of the hdd mounting areas isn't in the greatest spot

Overall Review: Will update when I finish building the comp in here, so far everything has gone perfectly fine.

Great for the Money!

MSI MBOX PM8M2-V Intel Socket T(LGA775) VIA P4M800 Barebone

Pros: Excellent starter computer for anyone! And is upgradable to an extent. Case is sturdy and looks nice. Sound drivers support surround sound great.

Cons: On my power source, the power cable doesn't always go in all the way, making it prone to unplug. Other than that, NONE!

Overall Review: Have 2.66 GHz P4 120 Gig Seagate 512 Megs RAM Sony CD burner/DVD ROM Everything else stock
