SUPER TALENT 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC 5400) Desktop Memory Model T6UB1GC5
SUPER TALENT 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 667 (PC 5400) Desktop Memory Model T6UB1GC5

Pros: Rock solid, runs at a reasonable temp on a foxconn NF4SLI7AA-8KRS2 mobo, no issues, rock solid, i intend to buy three more so i can run four gigs in dual channel mode. wont be for a while though. i will tell how that works out in the end.

Cons: None. solid, no prob's what so ever. well, aside from the fact that the price went down since i bought it.. it was over a hundred then..

Overall Review: ehhh... wish i had another three to go with it.. but, its like they say, wish in one hand... this has been running in a system that is running about six to twenty hours a day. works great for everything. i can run 3d studio max, photoshop CS2, MSN, TIM, WMP10, windows blinds, and web browse with FF at the same time on two monitors with this gig of ram runnin. just wait till i get four gigs..

havnt bought one yet, but i plan to when i get another paycheck or two.

Panasonic CD/MP3/Radio 5-Disc Changer Mini Audio System SC-AK640K
Panasonic CD/MP3/Radio 5-Disc Changer Mini Audio System SC-AK640K

Pros: I do not own one, however, i have tested one at a local wally world, it PUMPS! bass is clear and crisp, as is all of the sound. it'll blast a honda back to south-east! front line in works fine, turned on the EQ with my MP3 player and it pumped twice as much bass, i am truely amazed with the gut-pounding bass this thing puts out! the sub may only be six and a half inches, but this thing out thumps many subs that are far larger than it.

Cons: none that i have seen, though i only tested it for about fifteen minutes before the store staff started complaining of the noise. Neighbors will not like this system very much if they value peace and quiet.

Overall Review: i plan to replace my lil 35w system from '92 that i have been using with this since my onkyo tx-900 died.. oh, if you live in an area where there are neighbors close by, im betting they will not like this thing, my neighbors are likely to hide under there table when i play DoD.. this unit puts out nice clean bass, a lot more bass than my two 210w floor standing woofers when they where on my onkyo tx-900 amplifier. too bad i killed my poor amp.. this unit will be replacing my amp, hopefully i will get at least five to seven years out of it. i must say that sitting this in or near a room with fragile or loose items isn't a good idea.. buy it! NOW!!! you wont regret it..

Uber Keyboard

Logitech 920-000021 Black 103 Normal Keys 11 Function Keys USB Standard Access Keyboard 600
Logitech 920-000021 Black 103 Normal Keys 11 Function Keys USB Standard Access Keyboard 600

Pros: Works great for gaming, allows a lot of keys to be pressed at once, unlike a lot of keyboards i have seen. keys aren't too soft or mushy, but there not so firm that its hard to type with. multimedia keys work with no software, completely plug and play, and of course, i love the high gloss edge of the keyboard and keys. not to mention the fact that the keys have printed on letters, numbers, and symbols, unlike some keyboards where they are just annoying stickers that peel.

Cons: key layout is a bit different from most keyboards, which may be bad for some people, so i thought i would state this. you also need to install software to use the "function" keys, just like on a laptop.

Overall Review: thank you logitech for yet another wonderful product, i have heard a lot about your quality products, and, i am not disappointed for buying this keyboard. keep up the good work, now-a-days everything seems so cheaply built, yet this keyboard is of superior quality, and i am sure i could get at least five years of heavy use out of it. which, for the price, is beyond amazing. i have not tried the twelve function keys, theres one on each F key, i havnt used them due to the fact that i am too lazy to install the logitec software. i love this keyboard, it will take some getting use to, but thats normal for any device you are not familiar with. on a side note, i bought every part of my computer from newegg, except for the case i am currently using, its a "make do" case 'till i can afford a new one. i love neweggs service, and i will continue to buy from them, and logitech in the future

Dual core at long last..

Intel Pentium D 805 - Pentium D Smithfield Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - HH80551PE0672MN
Intel Pentium D 805 - Pentium D Smithfield Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - HH80551PE0672MN

Pros: Dual core, xx bucks (when i bought it), runs cool (135 with heavy gaming with a 20 dollar fan and heatsink). have not overclocked it.. yet..

Cons: Have not been able to overclock it due to a lack of cooling..

Overall Review: Need to buy a beefy fan and heatsink.. must overclock..

Sweet fan and heatsink

MASSCOOL 7WD01L3 92mm Hydro Wave CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink
MASSCOOL 7WD01L3 92mm Hydro Wave CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink

Pros: CPU (Pentium D 805 Smithfield 2.66ghz, 1mb L2 cache) never goes above 135 with heavy gaming. extremely quiet. can be mounted in multipul directions depending on the case and motherboard.

Cons: Installation was a PITA.. but, thats to be expected with any heatsink that mounts right. fins are a tad sharp and flimsy.

Overall Review: recommened it to a friend because its such a high quality product at such a low price. use artic silver 5, glues it right on there and keeps the bond tight.

EVGA GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 256-P2-N554-AX
EVGA GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 256-P2-N554-AX

Pros: SLi (which i soon plan to take advantage of) no SLi power plug needed. runs fine. no issues. idles at about 115f

Cons: runs a bit warm for my liking. but all nvidia chipsets do

Overall Review: to the previous reviewer, you usually cannot run two differant cards in SLi stably. (life sucks like that). i intend to mod my case to have two 80mm fans blowing on it. that will get me up to 10 80mm fans.. over all great card
