Most Favorable Review

Good memory

Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC22G6400LLK
Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC22G6400LLK

Pros: Been running this memory for 3+ weeks now and it has been rock solid stable, even during the times where I ran it at 1000 Mhz.

Cons: Price drops since I bought them.

Overall Review: I normally buy Corsair and Kingston brands. This is my first time buying Patriot. I'm quite satisfied with the experience.

Most Critical Review

Flakey like everyone said

Linksys WUMC710 Wi-Fi Wireless AC1300 5GHz Universal Media Connector Bridge Adapter 802.11ac with 4-Port Switch
Linksys WUMC710 Wi-Fi Wireless AC1300 5GHz Universal Media Connector Bridge Adapter 802.11ac with 4-Port Switch

Pros: Easy to setup. Cheap and cost effective. Fast WiFi performance when it works.

Cons: Unstable like most have said.

Overall Review: Worked great for the 1st week, then it started disconnecting from Wireless router on a periodic basis (every few hours) and doesn't re-establish the connection itself unless you power cycle the darn thing. Done just about everything everyone has said and is still disconnecting. Would not recommend to anyone who is looking for a stable connections.

Good as a secondary TV for the kids

HANNspree 42" 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV

Pros: Descent price, fast shipping as usual with newegg.com. Makes a great second TV for the kids. Cheaper on the electrical bill as compared to a plasma. Good budget TV.

Cons: Color reproduction and picture quality is no where near the quaility of a plasma.

Fast CPU

AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HDZ940XCGIBOX
AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition - Phenom II X4 Deneb Quad-Core 3.0 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HDZ940XCGIBOX

Pros: More than enough power for your general computing, multitasking, gamming needs. Easily overclocks to 3.4 GHz on stock voltage. Didn't need to go higher. Runs cool.

Cons: None.

Good motherboard

BIOSTAR TA790GXB A2+ AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX ATX AMD Motherboard
BIOSTAR TA790GXB A2+ AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Despite it not being very popular, this motherboard is actually a solid performer with good overclocking features. Better than your average ECS brand. Ran flawlessly with Phenom II X4 940 BE @ 3.4 Ghz on stock voltage. No issues so far. Price was GREAT with CPU combo.

Cons: Not very many accessories and features. The manual can be much better.

Overall Review: Would buy again...

Descent RAM

OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3P1600LV6GK
OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model OCZ3P1600LV6GK

Pros: Stable and will run at 1600 MHz with 1.64 bus-voltage.

Cons: Mis-leading advertisement. Advertised timings run only at 1333 MHz and not at 1600 MHz. Two sets of this memory (12 Gigs total) will not run at 1600 MHz on 1.64 bus voltage. This maybe an Intel issue.

Overall Review: Paired with ASUS P6t6 WS Revolution motherboard and Intel i7 920 CPU. Seems to be running GREAT thus so far. No issues with system after removing second set of memory. Now I have an extra set of 6GB not being use.
