ZALMAN CNPS9500A-LED 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
ZALMAN CNPS9500A-LED 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: Nifty looking fan. It has kept my E6750 2.66hz @3ghz at reasonable temps (36C idle 47Cload)

Cons: Yeah, as mentioned by a few others, the instructions for this thing are horrendous. The Zalman website has an installation video that is a "little" better. Even when the heatsink is attached, it can slide and turn, not exactly ideal for people who constantly move their PC.

Overall Review: Once you get this installed, it works great. But just remember that it takes a little longer than it really should.

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

Pros: I have mine running below spec and set to Auto on my Motherboard. It's rated for 800DDR2 (or 400mhz) I got mine running with no issues at all 750 (375mhz)

Cons: none

Overall Review: Easy to install and runs with no problems whatsoever so far, but I run mine below spec.

Pros: Plenty of cords. Cords aren't too stiff so it's easy to move 'em where you want to when you're done. Compatible with an SLI setup and Intel motherboards.

Cons: Not modular cabling. I don't use that many cables so it'd be nice to be able to get rid of all the cables that go unused.

Overall Review: So far no problems and an easy install. Pretty quiet.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 - Core 2 Duo Conroe Dual-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E6750

Pros: Great value. I have mine OC'd to 3ghz with Zalman 9500 CPU cooling and my temps have only gone up 1C. (hover around 36C at idle, 47Cload)

Cons: Stock heatsink.

Overall Review: Paid xxx bucks for 2.66ghz. Got to 3gz with no trouble whatsoever.

EVGA GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 256-P2-N761-AR
EVGA GeForce 8600 GTS 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 256-P2-N761-AR

Pros: I got this card to last me until the new Nvidia's come out. A surprising upgrade from my 7600gt for only 160 bucks.

Cons: The 256mb video memory is starting to show it's age especially in games like Bioshock and World in Conflict.

Overall Review: I bought this 5 days before they offered Quake Wars for free. With a free game, EVGA cards are a must buy.
