Rosewill RP500-2 500W ATX12V v2.01     Power Supply
Rosewill RP500-2 500W ATX12V v2.01 Power Supply

Pros: I have built 3 machines with this power supply and am very happy with it all around, especially with it being so quiet. I will use another one of these in my next build. The blue light on the fan is a nice bonus.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: There are lots of cables I'm not using that require some creative routing in order to keep the air flowing properly inside the case.

Great RAM, excellent value

Pros: Works very well. Great value for the price. I have not yet found any media that it doesn't like.

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: I've be leery of Samsung electronics for many years now, primarily due to a bad experience. This DVD burner has restored some of my confidence in the Samsung brand.

Pros: Moves lots of air and is very quiet

Cons: The blue light is very bright and is not a good thing for my particular installation.

Overall Review: I'll buy another one of these next time I need a case fan. Only comes with a 4 pin power connector.

Pros: Decent layout for components. I didn't feel cramped while I was putting everything inside. Good airflow through this case.

Cons: This case feels flimsy.

Overall Review: I have bought 3 of these. 2 for new builds and one as a replacement for a case with horrible airflow. I'm very pleased with this case so far.
