Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6750
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6750

Pros: FAST, OVERCLOCKABLE, STAYS COOL WITH FACTORY FAN EVEN! WORKS FLAWLESSLY IN GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35. This thing doesn't even flinch when you throw some video processing tasks at it.

Cons: They shouldn't even allow you to type in the con section while reviewing this product.

Overall Review: One of the finest selections you can get from the always wonderful NewEgg.

Overall Review: Newegg always rocks though.

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 (Juniper XT) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100283L

Pros: Good price on cyber monday buy.

Cons: Not delivered - not NewEggs's fault.

Overall Review: 3 day shipping via UPS is turning into 7 day! Now I am without a PC for 3 more days! Will re-review once/if product arrives.

AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition - Athlon X2 Kuma Dual-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Desktop Processor - AD785ZWCJ2BGH
AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition - Athlon X2 Kuma Dual-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Desktop Processor - AD785ZWCJ2BGH

Pros: Very good value.

Cons: PINs were bent during shipping. A simple piece of scotch tape would have prevented cpu from comming out of box and hitting things.

Overall Review: Was able to bend pins back into place with a lot of patience. Works like a champ.

UPDATE

ASUS M3N78 PRO <GREEN> AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8300 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M3N78 PRO <GREEN> AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 8300 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Was a fairly decent board the 3.5 months it ran. Liked the features, layout and speed while it lasted.

Cons: Like other people, I had the onboard LAN die within weeks and I just dealt with that until now. The motherboard will cause the computer to reboot with nothing but power supply, ram, and video connected (even when just sitting at main menu in BIOS). Tested power supply and ram with secondary computer to confirm.

Overall Review: Thinking of going with a GigaByte board (the currenly highest rated AM2+ board on NewEgg right now) to replace it. The fact so many others are having issues with this ASUS one does not comfort me.

Rosewill RX35-AT-IU SLV Aluminum 3.5" Silver IDE USB 2.0 External Enclosure
Rosewill RX35-AT-IU SLV Aluminum 3.5" Silver IDE USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: You cannot and will not find a better enclosure for $15. Sturdy, Stays Cool and Quiet, Easy Setup and Looks Decent

Cons: The only drawback is the cable length of both the bundled USB cord and power supply, but you can always get a longer USB cable for cheap.

Overall Review: Also connected to PS3 no problems.
