good case but
Pros: Nice looking from the side. Huge fans Cheap (relatively)
Cons: -The fans actually don't move that much air at all -you cannot use a large-sized air heatsink with the side-fan in place, which sucks very much -no bottom mounted psu -no removeable tray
Overall Review: -it's an ok case for the beginner or the newb who really want to impress his friends. not recommended for heavy hardware or ocing
not a good buy
Pros: -it's a 8800GT card -cooling solution cools better than Nvidia stock coolers (but not better than aftermarket vga coolers like Zalman)
Cons: -cannot overclock the card at all -1GB of ram is useless because no games use more than 512mb of video ram, and it is slower than 512mb ram -palit has no customer service -rebate service is a joke -accessaries and included software are useless
Overall Review: -benchmarks show that the 1gb versions are SLOWER than 512mb versions due to slower rams and that all games currently do not use more than 512mb of ram, including Crysis. -buy two 512mb 8800GTs will give you better performance, space and better looking cards. -orange, plastic overall case, I mean wth, that's so ugly.
good for the price
Pros: Cheapest of the E8000's series processors. Highly overclockable
Cons: Doesn't OC as well as an E8600. Not quad core (although this statement in a sense only will have importance in 2 years' time)
Overall Review: Running mine 24/7 stable at 4.40 Ghz at 1.368 volts all on air. Nehalem who?
nice stuff
Pros: -Does what it says it does. -Nice tight connectors so don't fall off -Cheap
Cons: -not UV reactive or other fancy shmancy's, bells or whistles.
Overall Review: buy this
good fan
Pros: Very Fast. Quiet (except read below). 300GB has a sort of heatsink with it
Cons: -expensive -loud high-pitched whine when room is cold
Overall Review: really expensive for a traditional harddrive. about 4-5x more expensive price per gigabyte than traditional 7200rpm hdd's. This is a premium you have to pay when you want the fastest. And unlike DDR3 vs DDR2's, with this HDD you can actually feel/see a speed difference so I guess the premium is worth it
good fan
Pros: High quality fan. 140mm fan size that has the holes for a 120mm sized slots. 9 blades.
Cons: cannot fit in the back exhaust 120mm fan slot for most cases.
Overall Review: lol bought it before i realized that it can't fit in the back of my case, so now i bought a new case that'll put this fan into good use
