Grease it right!!!

Arctic Silver CMQ-22G The high-density, ceramic-based thermal compound
Arctic Silver CMQ-22G The high-density, ceramic-based thermal compound

Pros: Arctic ceramique is really under rated. I started using it when I read that it is less electrically conductive that the silver, but the heat conductivity is still high on the charts. I know it is not as high as the silver but it is still way up there. plus yo can use less and there is no break-in period to wait for. Really helps to see your performance numbers right away. I got the large size, I build a few from time to time. Great price for something that works so well and goes so far.

Cons: Not everyone knows to watch the companies video on how to prep the surfaces and how to apply the compound. I did it wrong a few times and did not see the proper results!! If you use to much of this stuff it can hurt, not help. Research is a must!! more of a warning that a con, but I guess more work could count as a con...if you call: a 2 min watch a video, and 3 min worth of work to get it right...work. ;-))

Overall Review: I want to try the adhesive for those north and south bridge chip heat sink kits that look so intriguing. Leave it to newegg to bring a product that works good.

OH BOY IS IT LIGHT!!! LOL

DYNAPOWER USA BIEN C2202.66.0757 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 430W Power Supply
DYNAPOWER USA BIEN C2202.66.0757 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 430W Power Supply

Pros: New Egg got it to me super fast!! I mean FAST! Superman musta droped them off.

Cons: I thought I would build a X-mas gift out of it but, I'm second guessing it now. I purchased 2, one was badly damaged, the other is OK. I concidered fixing it untill I noticed how badly damaged it was, I think if your going to sell somethng this light, it should be packed extra protected to help prevent damage.

Overall Review: I read the reviews and I have purchaced cheap cases before...but they came extra packed to help prevent damage, now i gotta play the who is going to fix me...New Egg or UPS. I want to make honerable mention that the shipping was so fast that this is only a minor irritaion by comparison...New Egg must be local or paid someone to run it over to me!!! FAST!!!

Excitement...NOT!

Link Depot FAN-8025-B 80mm Case Fan
Link Depot FAN-8025-B 80mm Case Fan

Pros: I got this based on looks, specs, and measure of happiness in the review section...Price was also a large factor in my choice. I am still using it, and it still performs as it should.

Cons: Let's not get to far ahead of ourselves...it is a FAN!!! While not all fans are made equal, this one puts out the rated performance IMO. NO!!! I did not do some sort of benchmark, nor did I measure flow...I installed it, it turned on, I put mu hand in front of it, it still works more than a year later...why is all this a con? ya want super flow, super high quality, and all the other stuff some folk whine about...pay more that 3 bucks...but this is just MY opinion...It blows air real good, so it makes me real happy! Maybe for 3 bucks, you can find s measure of happiness too!!

Overall Review: I clean it every once in a while, I use a small paint brush, and a old tooth brush,,,I get all da dust off it...and I pay attention to how I un-plug it, and how I plug it back in again. I am real careful not to drop it, and I don't go blowing the fins with canned air to see how fast I can get'er going...maybe that is why MINE is still in business? I don't know!? Now...My Hy-Performance machine has dim fancy Hy-speed Fans (yep more than one---LOTS) and stuff in it...but I treat dim da same...wit care and a-tension. LOL!!
