BIOSTAR GeForce 7300GT 256MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card V7302GT21

Pros: Awesome Card, plays Half-Life 2 and Sin Episodes like a dream, also any game Iv'e thrown at it, including World of Warcraft plays GREAT on FULL SETTINGS!!!!!!

Cons: Seems to run a bit hot, stays at about 70, the Nvidia program says that thats about average range... used the temperature monitor and it stayed within normal...so...really no cons ;)

Second day...

LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model iHAS220-08 LightScribe Support

Pros: Very nice drive. I have trusted Lite-On for some time now, the discs that it DID make looked very nice.

Cons: Crapped out within 24 hours, won't write a label, and I'm not even going to try to write a disc, I have another lite-on DVD burner that I use for that, I wanted this one primarily for the lightscribe...it was a good deal, and hopefully the replacement they are sending will work for longer than 1 day.

Overall Review: I'm used to getting good deals from newegg, so I didn't think anything about how cheap this one was...never the less, I will continue to shop NEWEGG!!!

Hurt my feelings

LITE-ON 22X DVD±R DVD Burner 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 22X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black IDE Model iHAP122-04

Pros: Lite-on usually makes a SOLID burner with good write speeds and very low bad burns...my ihas 220 had 5 BAD BURNS IN THREE YEARS!!!!!

Cons: This is not one of those drives, actually shows up as a Toshiba Samsung drive....if that makes any sense at all, failed after 2 months...out of 10 BURNS 10 Failed at 50%...VERY frustrating...

Overall Review: Not even worth the RMA... going with a different brand, I feel betrayed by Lite-On....

WOW

LITE-ON USB 2.0 Black External CD/DVD Writer Model DX-20A4H-16-B LightScribe Support
LITE-ON USB 2.0 Black External CD/DVD Writer Model DX-20A4H-16-B LightScribe Support

Pros: Bought the internal version of this drive a few years back, have used it on 10's of THOUSANDS of burns, ranging from video game backups (All Formats CD-R's DVD's and DVD-DL's) and I can count the bad burns on ONE HAND!!!

Cons: got the internal one, it failed after 3 days, but I reflashed the firmware and it has worked for MANY years since...

Overall Review: May not apply, Mine was the internal one.

Nice

HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX6400D2K2/4G
HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX6400D2K2/4G

Pros: Nice Ram, looks sleek, bought two sets for a total of 8 gigs, VERY FAST!!!(runs Crysis ;) )

Cons: If you are going to get over 4Gigs (I think it's over 4) you have to run a 64bit OS, so if the rest of your system doesn't support 64bit, stick with 4.

Overall Review: I have tried a lot of different brands of RAM, but Kingston has always been the most reliable, and the HyperX does NOT fail to dissappoint, it may cost more than other ram, but remember, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR!!!

Nice Chip

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 3.0 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6850

Pros: Nice Chip, a little pricey, but WORTH every dime if you are building a system you intend to keep for a while, my second Dual Core, don't know how I ever ran single core PC's before ;)

Cons: None yet.

Overall Review: My System: (this Processor) ASUS P5N-E MB, 8 Gigs of DDR2 800, Nvidia Geeforce 8800GTX, 4 Seagate SATA 3Gb/sec HD's, 1 WD IDE, 1 Sony DVD-R/W DL
