Sweet Drive

Hitachi GST Deskstar 7K1000 HDS721010KLA330 (0A34915) 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Retail

Pros: Installed in PC, ran auto setup CD(took 60 seconds), Done. Took me longer to clean the dust out of my case than to get this up and running. 931GB Avail space. $30 rebate, sweet. Quite & Fast...

Cons: As with any large single drive, might be a good idea to raid 2 of them for backup. Would be a big loss if it died. I might order another one this week now that I think about it.

Overall Review: Newegg, great service. I transfered 69.6gig from a WD250Gb 7200rpm SATA 3.0G drive to this one in 39mins with nothing else running in the background. (P4 3.56Ghz, XP Pro, 4Gig Ram) Thats 1.78gig per min.

Great Fan

Pros: Picked up this for a temp fan to setup my Asus Extreme Black and 4930K before I installed my water cooling loops. Running the 4930 @ 3.9 playing BF4 at max settings on a 780 GTX Ti. CPU temp maxed out at 74C after an hour of playing in a room that was around 72F. Its been a month and I still haven't installed my water cooling yet, but until I get a 4K monitor and another GTX, don't really need to since I'm getting 60+ FPS min and Avg around 90. So, this is a good fan at a GREAT price if your not pushing the CPU too much. Would have never thought it would work this well.

Cons: None...

Overall Review: Buy this if you want a great, low cost option.

Great PS at a great price

Pros: Simple design, easy to install. Done.

Cons: Rebate wasn't instant, but whatever.

Overall Review: Replaced a 3 year old Antec 550W PS that died in non-gaming PC. This system was used about 5 hours a month over the first 2 years and 5 hrs total the last year. Not sure what happened, but this is the first time that I didn't go with Antec.
