Excellent tool

StarTech.com M3013 24x27.5in Beige Desktop Anti-Static Mat
StarTech.com M3013 24x27.5in Beige Desktop Anti-Static Mat

Pros: Prevents ESD in a nice little square. Gives plenty of room to assemble a motherboard outside of a case. Because of of this product and a hand anti-static wrist wrap, putting together a new computer was a snap.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Roll it out and put some books on it, as someone has mentioned. That way you have a flat surface.

Great, cheap mouse

Pros: Great, cheap mouse. It's not your thirty button, elite, gaming mouse but it's a great mouse a great price.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: None.

Mediocre keyboard

Rosewill RK-101 - PS/2 Wired Standard Enhanced Keyboard - Black, 107 Normal Keys

Pros: You can use it to type on.

Cons: Small backspace key isn't very appealing. Left shift key is a little tough to press down in my case.

Overall Review: All things considered, I would order a different keyboard, as Newegg has a fine selection of better ones for similar prices.

DDR3 boards rock

ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: This board ran right out of the box, as well as every other piece of a nine piece order for a new build. AMI bios, which is okay. Lots of options. Fancy. I'm running this board, some Ripjaw DDR3 RAM, a 630 Propus, and an 8800 Alpha Dog edition.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: Crossfire ready. The above setup runs Bioshock max, Oblivion max (with several graphic intensive mods), Spore max, and The Witcher max, etc etc. This is a good board for the DDR3 platform. Recommended.

Anti-Static should be automatic

Rosewill Anti-Static Wrist Strap ESD Anti Shock Wristband Bracelet (Packaging May Vary) - RTK-002
Rosewill Anti-Static Wrist Strap ESD Anti Shock Wristband Bracelet (Packaging May Vary) - RTK-002

Pros: ESD will kill your parts. ESD is eliminated with a combination of this product and an anti-static mat, both available from your friendly computer super store, Newegg. No more dead parts from faulty installation. For this price everyone should at least have a wrist strap.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: N/A

Athlon II - Quadawesome

AMD Athlon II X4 630 - Athlon II X4 Propus Quad-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM3 95W Processor - ADX630WFGIBOX
AMD Athlon II X4 630 - Athlon II X4 Propus Quad-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM3 95W Processor - ADX630WFGIBOX

Pros: For the price, this particular processor is wonderful for mid range systems. In other words, systems that aren't Intel's new line based. ZIF socket accepts the processor effortlessly. Works well with any AM3 board. 2.8Ghz x4 is nice for the price.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: No L3 cache.
