Most Favorable Review

Best CPU I have ever owned

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6600
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6600

Pros: Fast, Dual core, doesn't cost a fortune

Cons: Not Quad?

Overall Review: I never buy bleeding edge because id shoot myself when I see the price drop 300$ in 2 months. So I bought this. Haven't found anything that can slow it down I can even play 2 games at once. 3.42ghz gave me a 15 second super Pi score and it runs at 32c with a 92mm copper zalman cooler. Upgraded from a 3500+ I'm not a fan boy I just buy whats the best at the time and this is it.

Great CPU

Intel Core i7-860 - Core i7 Lynnfield Quad-Core 2.8 GHz LGA 1156 95W Processor - BX80605I7860
Intel Core i7-860 - Core i7 Lynnfield Quad-Core 2.8 GHz LGA 1156 95W Processor - BX80605I7860

Pros: Fast, Crazy OC.. Reasonable price

Cons: Hot Hot Hot Hot

Overall Review: Was going to go with AMD until the 1157's came to my price range. amazing CPU I have it running at 4.0ghz stable on water but she is still hot even water cooled. Stock 2.8 even gives me some of the highest temps I've seen on a cpu in a while. But regardless of heat issues no problems and it tears .. or should i say burns through evvverything.

<3 Antec

Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Solid, build Quality, looks.

Cons: Dust collectors but what can you do.

Overall Review: Bought this case after my last pc was in a 900. Wanted to go a bit smaller but after going a bit overboard it's a bit tight. I have crossfire 5870's with 4 hard drives it's a bit tight..... BUT it all fits.
