Most Favorable Review

Not bad for the price!

GIGABYTE GA-M68MT-D3 AM3 NVIDIA GeForce 7025/nForce 630a chipset Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-M68MT-D3 AM3 NVIDIA GeForce 7025/nForce 630a chipset Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: If you're building a computer for someone who just browses the web and listens to music, this is a great mobo. The spacing between ports/sockets is perfect. The size is perfect. Its very easy to setup. The BIOS was easy to navigate and change. One thing commonly overlooked is the overpowered USB ports. This things charges my phone as fast as the wall charger.

Cons: Only two memory slots and an older chipset. Also, the IDE port is a little close to the ATX power connection. It fits, its just a tight squeeze.

Overall Review: I got this mobo to build my mom a computer for christmas. Its great for what I needed it for.

Most Critical Review

Not bad for the price.

RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-530SS 530W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply, New Version with Build-in LED Fan On/Off Switch
RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-530SS 530W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Power Supply, New Version with Build-in LED Fan On/Off Switch

Pros: Modular. Cool looking. Good airflow. Decent connections.

Cons: The modular part is a bit annoying. Yes, technically it is modular, but the modular cords plug into cords hanging out of the PSU instead of ports build into the PSU. So you have a bunch of unused cords about 4 inches long hanging out in the case.

Overall Review: I got this for a system I built my mother. She browses the internet and listens to music. This worked perfectly for what I needed it for.

Pros: This thing is a great little addition to any computer. VERY easy to install and it works great. The internal USB cable was a great length for my ATX mid-tower.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: If you're building a computer for someone who doesn't know much about computers, add this. Trust me, they'll really appreciate it.
