Logitech Internet Pro 967450-0403 Black 103 Normal Keys 8 Function Keys PS/2 Wired Standard Keyboard
Logitech Internet Pro 967450-0403 Black 103 Normal Keys 8 Function Keys PS/2 Wired Standard Keyboard

Pros: Very very cheap... and good quality from a trusted company. Gets the job done! Function keys work great (opening up browsers/email, volume control)...

Cons: The keys were a bit large for my liking at first (I have small hands), but I got used to it. Not very stylish... some key combinations (holding and pressing keys) don't work.

Overall Review: If you just want a decent keyboard with basic features, this is your thing. Cheap, but doesn't feel like it.

Best Deal for 2GB!!

Kingston U3 DataTraveler 2GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model DTIU3/2GB
Kingston U3 DataTraveler 2GB Flash Drive (USB2.0 Portable) Model DTIU3/2GB

Pros: This drive is the best value for a 2 GB capacity out there. It has good transfer speeds and is lightweight.

Cons: Ugly exterior and light, flimsy construction, but if you take care of your stuff you should be fine. The main thing: the "U3" interface is garbage! Completely useless if you're buying a flash drive to do what you want it to do... store things! U3 is intrusive and pointless since the programs provided and available are terrible.

Overall Review: The bright side is that the U3 has become extremely easy to remove lately. Just Google "Kingston U3 Removal" and it's easy to find the uninstaller. Once you do that, the drive is flawless and a GREAT value!

Still Kickin...

APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500 W ATX Power Supply
APEVIA ATX-CW500WP4 500 W ATX Power Supply

Pros: I've been running this supply for a little while now, and it's still kickin and alive! And for a very excellent price, too. Lots of connectors and plenty of power to satiate your rig. Very long wires. Pretty good construction.

Cons: Wires may be a bit long for some users of midsized cases.

Overall Review: For the money, it's a great bargain. As long as it can last for a while longer, I'll be happy.

ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: It's got tons of features, although many of the features are not so useful to the casual user. Not really any problems for me, and the BIOS wasn't out of date and recognized my Core 2 E6400 right away. Every other feature I'm using right now is working properly...

Cons: This is the first generation of this type of board, so it will take some time for the chipset's BIOS and features to become refined. But for now, this has suited my needs very well.

Overall Review: If you're not a big enthusiast, I think you can save a bit of money and get something cheaper. There really are several features that you're spending extra on that are pretty superfluous (dual gigabit LAN, S/PDIF ports, Wi-Fi AP, lots of SATA ports, external SATA, etc)

Great!

Pros: Why would you spend any more? This has got it all for a great price, and is fast and does the job fine. Nice sturdy tray.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: Just buy it! Industry standard.

Wow!!!

LIAN LI PC-65B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
LIAN LI PC-65B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: What excellent workmanship! Every single edge is smooth, every part of the finish is amazingly detailed. Who would put so much effort into a computer case? If you're a serious, professional builder or if you just want the very best quality, buy one of these!! Thumbscrews are so easy! Motherboard tray lets you replace CPU, memory, etc. without having to work in a tight space! It's a dream.

Cons: Maybe not as "flashy" as most cases, but I quickly got over it. The beauty is in the construction.

Overall Review: At first, I was leaning more towards glitzy, cooler looking lighted cases with all the neat frills. A friend told me to check out Lian Li, but I thought it was too plain. I went ahead and got it, and I wouldn't look back.
