Pros: Stable, good overclocking features. I bought one for an E8400 OC'ing rig, and then 3 months later bought another one for a stock Q6600 rig. Both work awesome. The Virtual BIOS backup is very good- it recovered my BIOS automatically after a faulty flash, I learned not to EVER try to flash the BIOS from within Windows. Do NOT use the QFLASH utility or whatever to try to flash your BIOS... ever. Good Audio.

Cons: P35 is kinda old now. No E-SATA, no 1394. The audio on the second board outputs more disturbance then I would like.

Pros: Inexpensive. Gigabyte quality: You can expect this board to last 5+ years. Plenty of features. Works fine with Phenom 9950 without any BIOS update.

Cons: Don't expect to get much overclocking on this board, if any. It's the AMD770 chipset, so it only has the four pin CPU power.

Overall Review: I used this board for a low-midrange build for a client. AMD Phenom X4 9950 2.6Ghz | 4GB OCZ Reaper DDR2-800 | MSI Radeon 4830 512MB Incidentally he's very happy with his build :).

Pros: I bought this for its exact purpose: A keyboard made for a media/gaming PC, and it serves that role very well. The media controls work without drivers on Windows XP x86. The lights aren't overbearing at all, and are quite pretty. The only keys not lighted up are the volume knob and spacebar. I am definitely not a hunt and peck typist, but the lights are nice if you are using the G or F keys, and mostly they just look freakin cool! The keyboard is HEAVY, and of sturdy construction. The cable is also very thick. I can see this lasting me a good 3 or more years. The keys are pretty quiet and soft to type on. I know a lot of people like their IBM clacky keyboards, but I prefer the quiet/soft touch, as it does not disturb others around.

Cons: The keyboard is big. Like huge. In fact, it does not fit on my keyboard tray without overlapping my mousepad. I really should have measured the board before buying it, but it's ok. I just push it slightly off the. Too many G keys. There are 18 keys and 3 modes. Seriously, who needs 54 macro keys??? A few might (*cough* bind spammers), or people who use them for actual Windows macros would, but 99% of the population will not. Truly, 12 or even 6 keys (with still 3 modes, making a total of 36 or 18 functions, along with the 12 F keys) would be plenty, and would save precious inches, making this massive thing a better option for more people.

Overall Review: This is a quality piece of hardware, although it just might not be for you. I am quite happy with it, even though It kind of makes me want to get a new desk so I can fit it. I have not tested this unit (yet) in Windows 7 or Linux. I might post an update later. E8400 @ 3.6Ghz | 4GB DDR2-800 | HD4870 | 780GB Space | WinXP x86

Pros: Cheap, has good heft to it. 450-watts is actually enough to power any non-heavy gaming home system. The black is nice.

Cons: Mediocre efficiency, only comes with 2 SATA power connectors (cmon, its not 2002 anymore), although a molex->sata converter can fix that.

Overall Review: After 2 years, this unit is still running strong, powering: AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 3GB RAM 7900GS 1 HDD 2 ODD's These rosewills aren't as bad as they used to be.

Pros: Large, bright, colorful glass screen. Good firmware, and the Zune software is much better then Itunes. Attractive simplistic design. The shiny plastic doesn't scratch as much as you would think. Very thin (but not too thin. It doesn't feel nearly as fragile as an Ipod). Good sound quality. Great radio. Free games. Fantastic podcast support and organization. Generally speedy performance. Works with both MP4 and WMV formats.

Cons: Severe ghosting on many videos (especially ones that are over 768Kbps). Very little interface customization. Low resolution screen for its size. The new headphones that come with it are junk compared to the old in ear ones that were on the Zune 80. The screen is extremely prone to smudges. Lock switch feels cheap. No radio or voice recorder like my older Creative Zen Vision M 30GB. Mediocre battery life. Absolutely no Xvid or Divx support (or any other AVI). No on-the-fly playlists. Wi-fi is pretty much worthless, especially if you don't have a Zune Pass.

Overall Review: 3.5 stars. Disappointing, but considering the alternatives out there, the player is pretty good. In some ways I miss my Zen.

Pros: Awesome game. I've been playing it since it came out. LAN parties are easy and fun to set up. Sure the graphics are outdated, but the gameplay isn't. Though the old graphics can be a bonus, the game will run on literally any computer, which makes it even more ideal for LAN parties.

Cons: It's a shame that there is no online support anymore. No widescreen support (no way to even make it widescreen with an .ini file or whatever.) so everything looks streeeeeched.

Overall Review: Nothing like having 8 friends playing against eachother over the network!
