Pros: My second Antec PSU - had to get a new one because the old one didn't do PCI-e or SATA. It probably saved my new system by shutting down when I plugged a USB thumb drive into a case port that was wired backwards (seriously, red for ground and black for +5V? wth ). I was also pleasantly surprised to find that it didn't add yet another power cord to my box-o'-cables in the garage. Yeah, you could make the argument that Antec's cheaping out by not including one, but I think Newegg customers already have the market cornered on these cords.

Cons: It didn't climb out of the box and install itself.

Overall Review: Effortlessly powering a typical Athlon II X3 build (unlocked to 4 cores) with a GTX460.

Pros: I picked this drive as an upgrade to the 160GB stock drive in my Dell 10v netbook. It got the nod because it was the largest size available in this form factor and because 5400 RPM isn't going to eat battery life or generate stupid amounts of heat. (The netbook also got a RAM upgrade to keep it out of the swap file.)

Cons: Didn't install itself. No, seriously, an 8MB cache is tiny nowadays.

Overall Review: A terabyte in a netbook!

Pros: Plug 'n play, even on a Hackintosh

Cons: None I found.

Overall Review: I found one of these at a local thrift store this weekend. Used it the next day to clone the contents of my Dell hackintosh netbook onto a new 1TB drive, in preparation for a drive swap. Works transparently on OS X Snow Leopard, even on non-Apple hardware, and the HD swap was a success.

Pros: Works as advertised.

Cons: Doesn't install itself.

Overall Review: These two sticks maxed out an old Dell Dimension 2350 running as a database server at home. Yeah, Dell's docs say the BIOS only supports a gig of RAM, but that was written when 512K sticks were the biggest you could get.

Pros: No issues on an ASRock M3A770DE motherboard.

Cons: Don't get if you want to overclock, from what I've read.

Overall Review: It's RAM, it works, and it's cheap.

Pros: Works, and for AMD users it installs in a cross-flow orientation. Included 120mm fan is quiet. The rubber nibs are a little tough to get into the fan, and feel like you're going to tear them in half, but they're tougher than they feel. There's enough for two fans (or in case you do manage to tear a couple). It's also impressively big, and something you can show off, if you're into that sort of thing and don't think you're trying to compensate for something.

Cons: The instructions are a little off for AMD - it tells you to keep the center foam piece in place but you're going to want to remove it. No other installation issues, since it was part of a new build.

Overall Review: I have this installed on my AMD Athlon II X3 455 Rana with the fourth core unlocked but not overclocked. It idles at 30°C but climbs to 57°C running Prime95 with all four cores at 100%. I think both numbers could be lower but this build's in an 8-year-old ATX case which, like most cases of that vintage, is ventilationally challenged, with only a single 80mm case fan and the power supply exhausting air. I can see where it would be a hassle to install in an existing build, but since I installed it as part of a brand-new setup, it was simple enough.
