Most Favorable Review
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - HH80562PH0568M
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - HH80562PH0568M

Pros: Best bang for your buck processor out there. Overclocks like a champ, well.... some.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: I have mine sitting at 3.0 at 1.28vcore. I have a sub-par cooler so, heat keeps me from pushing it any higher.

Most Critical Review

Dud-a-licous!

RiDATA 4.7GB 16X DVD-R 100 Packs Spindle Disc Model DRD-4716-RDCB100
RiDATA 4.7GB 16X DVD-R 100 Packs Spindle Disc Model DRD-4716-RDCB100

Pros: 16x makes for speedy burns, when they work.

Cons: Build quality is oddly, horrid. Most (Even RiData's 8x DVD's) flex well and don't break easily. These seem to snap in half like paper. Every 4 or 5 DVD's is a dud as well. Not worth the buy. Their 8x set (Looks the same with an arrow on the front) are great, but 8x.

Overall Review: Too many duds, break too easily. Buy something else.

Solid

Rosewill RNX-G300EX Wireless Card IEEE 802.11b/g PCI Up to 54Mbps Data Rates 64/128bit WEP WPA WPA2 802.1x, 802.11i, AES, TKIP with 100cm cable external 2 dBi Antenna

Pros: Good chipset, good range. Works from 40 feet without the antenna! Low profile adapter is included. Works with Vista/7. CHEAP!

Cons: I wish the antenna cable was about a foot longer.

Hot hot hot!

EAGLE Consus ET-CSDU2J-BK DUAL 3.5" SATA I/II to USB 2.0 2-BAY JBOD External Enclosure
EAGLE Consus ET-CSDU2J-BK DUAL 3.5" SATA I/II to USB 2.0 2-BAY JBOD External Enclosure

Pros: Aesthetically pleasing, solid design. The drives sit far enough away from each other to remain cool, combined with the tiny little fan, it does a good job. JBOD is solid.

Cons: POWER BRICK! Wow that thing gets hot. I took off an egg because I have never had a power brick get that hot, and the fan is a tad noisy for what it is.

Overall Review: I have this coupled with two 1tb WD Green drives in Jbod...

Easy enough

CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Laptop Memory Model VS4GSDSKIT800D2
CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Laptop Memory Model VS4GSDSKIT800D2

Pros: Cheap, fast and efficient.

Cons: I'm not certain if it was a problem with my motherboard, or the ram itself... but it took 3 dis assembly's of my laptop to get these to seat correctly. I did not have any issues what soever with the stock Hyinx sticks, so I'm going to have to drop an egg for having to take apart my laptop so many times for a "would be" easy install.

Speedy!

OCZ SLI-Ready Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2N800SR4GK
OCZ SLI-Ready Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2N800SR4GK

Pros: Cheap!(On sale) OCZ Brand name. LOVES POWER! Another reviewer stated that he could not get these to get 1 mhz over stock clocks. I have mine sitting at 2.1v and 900 mhz. Who can complain about that? OCCT ran for a good bit and they took it like a champ.

Cons: LOVES POWER! Some motherboards will not auto to the 2.1v that they are advertised to run at. So, make sure to up it in bios after your install.

Overall Review: The heat spreaders are not traditional. They are not an overlapping piece of metal. They are physically glued/stamped? onto the chips. I don't know if this will hold up in the future. I can say that, as of yet, they are doing a very fine job.
