Most Favorable Review

do i have to say why

Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 1.86 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6300
Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 1.86 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6300

Pros: FAST! I built one of these for my friend and it screams. great price.

Cons: none, except the box that held the chip was set up wierd, chip popped out when i open the plastic.

Overall Review: First time building a lga 775, pretty much cause intel's previous 775 chips sucked before this one. I was a little confused but really simple to install. i was originally going to get him a x2 3800+ but the mobo i was going to buy with it became sold out; right as this went on sale :) glad i got this one instead.

Most Critical Review

good mobo when it works

GIGABYTE GA-8IG1000MK Socket 478 Intel 865G Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: worked great sort of, color coded front panel pins. good instruction manual.

Cons: after 6 months of working ok, started receiving many blue screens, and than just stopped posting.

Overall Review: checked cpu in another test machine and it was fine, along with all the other components.

great for case modding

Pros: bought this case on sale for half the price, it was a refurb. did a nice stealth casemod, for a server computer i built. excellent insides with pretty much no chance of getting case-cuts. the front fan is especially nice because there isn't a pre-made grill so you can basically make your own, and it doesn't even need to let air threw because the inlet is at the bottom of the case. I cut a hammer shape in the front, and put a green led fan there with a piece of plastic to diffuse the light, it looks great. Thick metal sides, are not very flexible.

Cons: only con i can think of is the textured black paint. its not really a con, but when you are repainting the sides you can't just paint it like some cases i've working on.

Overall Review: none

looks cool

Pros: silent, fast, cheap (for agp), nice working dual monitor support for a lcd and tv.

Cons: sometimes chokes in high resolutions, newest drivers didn't want to work with my tv.

Overall Review: eventually got drivers that would allow for video to be shown on my tv, right in time for me to buy my widescreen lcd.

should state on box, for antec aria and other sff

ZALMAN CNPS6500B-AlCu 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink
ZALMAN CNPS6500B-AlCu 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooling Fan/Heatsink

Pros: fits in the antec aria case, decent cooling.

Cons: wierd fan mount, somewhat confusing mounting braces. instructions are ok...

Overall Review: it may have cooled better in a normal atx case environment. used for the antec aria because no other heatsink that i know of will fit into the case.
