Solid Performance

Pros: Quite honestly I wasn't entirely sure how this card would stack up in practical applications when I decided to go with it over its significantly more expensive 640MB GTS/GTX counterparts. But now I am quite happy I did, not only did I save quite the pretty penny I also got 90% (+/-5% depending on the game) of the power. All I can say is don't bother with 640GTS/GTX it is just not worth it. Sure you get the bragging rights for the next few months while you have the fastest card etc.. but after that you will probably be very happy you saved yourself a few hundred bucks.
Cons: At first it tended to heat up a bit but once I made some minor adjustments to air flow, all was well.
Overall Review: I highly recommend getting some software to monitor the temperature for the first few weeks, and just make sure your case is running cool enough in stress situations. Your card temp should probably not be exceeding 80c and if you have your cooling worked out well (as I do now) you should be able to run at about 50c (+/- 5c depending on load).
So-So

Pros: 1) There is a release latch so you don't have to yank on the cable like other SATA cables. You can hit the release latch and pull knowing you're not gooing to yank anything out that isn't supposed to come out. 2) They glow very well with small amounts of light (LEDs from fans/etc) in the case.
Cons: 1) They don't latch on to the motherboard at all and slide off easily. They do at least latch on to the hard drives. 2) They don't bend at the attachment point very well which can be a problem with motherboards with SATA connections near the 3.5" rack. If a drive overlaps the mobo SATA port(s) its extremely difficult to attach.
Overall Review: Would be perfect if they would fix the latching problem and give them a "neck" you can angle/adjust like a few other cables.
Good enough!
Pros: For the price you are paying you are getting solid hardware. The timings are slow and it will not provide stellar video game performance but when you just need some extra memory to make the internet run faster or help out your computer when loading over formated gigantic office files etc this will do the job...and it will do it on a budget. So to keep it simple, if you don't plan to play games on the machine or do other massively memory intensive projects, this is the memory you want! (Gotta love lifetime warranties)
Cons: I honestly try to find a flaw in every product I review to keep it honest and helpful, but for the price you are paying you really are getting a great deal. Sure you will probably see the occasional bad stick or have some go bad 6, 12, 18 months down the road but lifetime warranty means you can always RMA it and have it replaced. (Note this is actually pretty rare in my experience)
Overall Review: Every piece of RAM you buy should have a lifetime warranty, never buy from a retailer or manufacturer who doesn't offer it for their RAM. Good companies to look at are Corsair, Kingston, Buffalo, and a few others....

Pros: Pretty quite for its power output, and the rails are split up well allowing for a pretty beefy SLI setup while still running clean. The noise level is also pretty good, even with it on the desk right next to me. Cables are all of decent length for ATX case. All the connectors (molex, P4, 20+4, etc fit well and lock into place requiring some release mechanism to be triggered before they pop at easily. This prevents things from jarring loose (for whatever reason, shouldn't normally be a problem).
Cons: The actual PSU case is a bit on the longer side and obstructs about 18-22% of my fan on the top of the case. Cooling is not a huge problem for me so I just moved it to the back of the case. The information in the manual left a bit to be desired, if you don't look closely at the 20+4 and the 4-pin/8-pin P4 connector you can easily miss that they split apart (particularly the 8-pin which splits in half so you can use the 4-pin connector. I mention this, because I knew to look for it and I still missed it.
Overall Review: Probably a bit on the expensive side imho, but that is high output PSU's in a nutshell it seems. You could do a lot worse with your money and all things considered this is probably one of the better deals.
Great so far!

Pros: Great Price! As far as the HD itself its your standard seagate drive reliable and tons of newer capabilities (PRT etc) with the always great seagate warranty.
Cons: Of the six I ordered one was DOA, however as usual the replacement was immediate and without questions, so no real problem there.
Overall Review: Dollar for GB the best value around, and thats before you consider the fact that this is a high quality drive. I highly recommend this drive to anyone for any storage needs. I now personally own a total of 9 of them (8 SATA, 1 IDE) and another 4 seagate hard drives of different sizes. So if you don't get this drive specifically, at least go with seagate!
