Crucial Ballistix Rocks!!

Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AA804
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AA804

Pros: Crucial is arguably the best RAM you can buy...and the Ballistix is their elite brand for high performance... I highly recommend it...

Cons: Just like most people reported, by default it showed up on my ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe as 5-5-5-18. All it took was a simple change in the BIOS to 4-4-4-12. I left the Voltage on AUTO...and it works GREAT! Just in case you were wondering...the AUTO set it to 1.9volts...

Overall Review: AMD X2 6K Dual Core, ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe, 4x1GB Crucial Ballistix (4-4-4-12), XFX 8800GTS, 430watt Thermaltake PSU,

Remote is Good?!?

Wii Play with Remote Wii Game
Wii Play with Remote Wii Game

Pros: Comes with a Wii-Mote!

Cons: The Game is mediocre at best...

Overall Review: I would recommend it simply because you always need a second remote...and for ten-dollars more you get a game! But do not expect anything spectacular from the game....it is nothing special. I played through every mini-game once...and lost interest. My kids play it every once and a while, but I see no replay value in it whatsoever... I say buy it to get the Wii-Mote and to get a second game...but keep in mind you are getting a ten-dollar game...because that is all it is.

Perfect for Eyefinity!

Pros: Bought 3 of these for an Eyefinity Setup... Considering the price, the thin bezels, and outstanding picture quality....I highly recommend them.

Cons: I have no complaints about these monitors at all...I got exactly what I expected :)

Works with Dell E1705!

Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model CT2KIT12864AC53E
Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory Model CT2KIT12864AC53E

Pros: Used this RAM to upgrade a Dell E1705.....worked PERFECT!

Cons: I was hoping to go higher, but apparently the E1705 max's out at 2GB of RAM.... Not a con for this RAM....but its the only negative thing that I can write about :)

Overall Review: Big Fan of Crucial...They have never done me wrong. For this price, and the exceptional service of NewEgg...it was a no-brainer for me :)

First Impressions....

XFX GX260NADBF GeForce GTX 260 Black Edition Core 216 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
XFX GX260NADBF GeForce GTX 260 Black Edition Core 216 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Just got this card yesterday, so 'First Impression' is all I can give you... This card is INSANE! I made the jump from Dual XFX 8800GTS XXX 320MB in SLI to one of these.....and this card KILLS! I have been playing Fallout 3 at High settings with No AA/AF and it would constantly stutter with my old setup. I put in this card, bumped it to 4X AA/AF and this beast didn’t even break a sweat...which leads to my next point....heat.

Cons: Yes, this monster runs hot.........but not when you have a case with adequate cooling. I run a CoolerMaster Stacker 830 and this thing purred the whole time. When it was at idle, it was dead silent. I figured GREAT, but once I start up the games, up goes the fans.......To my (and my wife’s) surprise, this thing stayed quiet?!? I didn’t have the time to check temps....but I am sure they were favorable.

Overall Review: Tonight I am definitely going to crank the settings even higher to see how far this card can go. Coming from my old SLI setup that had fans that screamed even at idle, this XFX masterpiece is a pleasant change. I did a lot of research before purchasing this card....and now that I got my hands on it, I highly recommend it. Oh....and not to forget, Newegg had it at my door 36 hours from the time I ordered it.....NewEgg Rocks!!! My setup: CoolerMaster Stacker 830, AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+, Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Motherboard, 4GB Crucial Ballistix PC2 6400, and a brand-spanking-new XFX GeForce GTX 260 Black Ed!!

Better than it Looks!

Antec NSK4480 Black/ Silver 0.8mm cold-rolled steel construction ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 380W Power Supply

Pros: I bought this for a customer because they wanted a simple case...From the pics, this case seemed simple, but with the quality name of Antec. I was blown away with how great this case is. It is well built, and an easy design, and it looks GREAT! By far the easiest case I worked with. And WHOA is that fan QUIET!!

Cons: The case had a slight dent in the corner...not bad enough to return, but it was still there...

Overall Review: PSU is a big concern when purchasing a case. Antec is one of the best out there. So even if you decide on another case, you would still probably want to toss the junk PSU that comes with it and get an Antec...Why bother...this case comes with it!!
