Pros: I installed this into my Razer Blade Shealth 13.3" laptop and so far no issues. This isn't as fast as a gaming NvMe drive but with 8 TB I can store all of my iTunes files, photos, movies, etc. without a single issue. 8Tb drives still are pricey but so far this has been worth it. Also this isn't QLC but the more stable kind which is good for data storage.

Overall Review: Def recommend!

Pros: This is certainly a 5400 RPM drive. I really like having the 64 mb cache but the platters spin way too slowly for iTunes playback even with standard definition. Lots of stuttering. I also tested this with Star Wars: The Old Republic and Guild Wars 2 and way too slow to load up and during level switching. I suggest going at least 7200 RPM. This drive however is wonderful for storage of files and backup so I guess that this is best relegated for that purpose.

Cons: Too slow at 5400 RPM for video playback or gaming.

Overall Review: Unlike Seagate, I never had a Western Digital go out on me. This is very reliable drive at least.

Pros: I just installed my Phenom II X4 970 BE CPU into it and it worked without a single hitch when I installed Windows 7 Ultimate. So far no issues setting up the Plex server. The on-board sound is just incredible with it. I know that it's directed for gaming but I used the motherboard for a completely silent music/film/TV show media server within a Fractal Design R4 white case and no issues. It is very quiet and I hooked it to my Bose Sounddock Generation 1 speaker using an adapter and the sound is just incredible for relaxing to music. I do recommend this motherboard for anything AMD wise before Ryzen. Plus with Windows 7 support it's a blessing since with Ryzen or newer Intel builds you have to stuck to Windows 10 for mainstream support.

Cons: No issues whatsoever.

Pros: I just got this passive cooler for my Athlon 5350 and it works like a beauty. Very easy to install and has some thermal paste. Since it is fully passive the fan is super silent so no worries there. I recommend this one as the best cooler for your AM1 processor.

Cons: It is huge and not low profile but then again you would go with the other option for Arctic Cooler's regular AM1 fan. This passive fan may not work in low profile cases like the Fractal Design Node 202.

Overall Review: A must buy if you are using the AM1 socket!

Pros: Very easy to build in. I threw in my motherboard, graphics card, and SSD in 20 minutes and I really like the lift-able cage for the hard drives. Solid design and the build is very good. No issues with my power supply yet either ways.

Cons: Maybe sharp edges? I don't know but there could be some close calls? Pretty dense for a case but at least it's not flimsy.

Overall Review: A must have if you want to have a solid portable gaming case but want to use a micro-ATX board. And the cooling is fairly good. I don't recommend high profile CPU coolers due to the lack of width here.

Pros: Very compact and lightweight; ideal for a very small media server. It fits extremely easily under my desk. I got this case to fit all of my leftover PC components using an old Sapphire Radeon 4870 and an Athlon II 235e processor with a Biostar DDR2 motherboard. And it works to play SWTOR and Battlefield 3 very well.

Cons: Cable management is very hard in this case. Also long graphics card such as my Radeon 4870 will probably hit the back end of the 3.5" hard drive. However most people would not use more than 2 hard drives in this very compact build. Also this case is very low end Silverstone so don't expect Temjin style.
