Creative FATAL1TY 3.5mm gold-plated Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset
Creative FATAL1TY 3.5mm gold-plated Connector Circumaural Gaming Headset

Pros: Unbelievable bass, I mean you can literally feel it Mic sounds top notch, my WOW guildsters say I sound crisp and clear no software to install just plug in and play, forget the USB one, geesh switching between options in Vista is a hassle but this one is just plug in and you're good to go the padding is super soft to the touch, even came with a uber nice leather pouch to store it in

Cons: like mentioned previously the pink and green connectors cant split apart too far, or else it'll surely bust it would of been nice to have tonz of leeway, but oh well these still rock amazingly well!

Overall Review: Creative does it again, top notch

Pros: 8GB! Its huge for my PSP, I have like 12 games and music, and still gigs for space

Cons: Runs a bit slow when transfering files from PC to PSP

Overall Review: I wish there was a 16GB version

Western Digital Caviar GP WD7500AACS 750GB 5400 to 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: It booted! Seems extremely quiet and cool to the touch...cant wait to see how it holds up after a few months

Cons: None so far although vista would not pick it up until I used Disk Management tools to first format the 698GB it holds but thats not the drives fault.

Overall Review: WD GP rox

Updated 4 Dimm Info

G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B
G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B

Pros: I finally got all 4 sticks to work in my motherboard (ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus), I had to bump the voltage to 2.0v and the NB to 1.45v as well as raised the memory to the magic hole number of 889mhz, now running 8 gigs in vista 64bit, hitting 9k+ everest speeds blazzing difference, games run way smoother now, nfs: undercover especially, COD World at War is sweet as well BUY THIS RAM

Cons: ALSO GSKILL tech support rox! Sure they cant speak or write english very well but hey, they answered all of my questions and helped me install this with vista (needed a patch) all rams work and were delivered in tip top shape, I can tell these will last..

Overall Review: G.Skill A++++

Sweet once its config. correctly

G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B
G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B

Pros: These ram sticks simply own, once they are setup correctly, I bought 2 of these kits thinking it would work but 4 dimms doesnt seem to work well with Vista..see Cons...Im incredibly happy though with the quality of the memory sticks, they simply do not get hot at all and let me tell you Central America gets pretty hot in the daytime, as well as the fact that all 4 came just perfect, no DOA...Im buying G.skill from now on..

Cons: I had a hell of a time getting these to work with Vista, needed a specific update so that Vista would install or run with 4GB Also can't get these to boot in vista with 4 sticks in all 4 dimms...one by one each stick alone works fine, 2 sticks together super, 3 works also but no Dual, 4 sticks it just reboots at the Vista Loading screen Shipping also took over a week...

Overall Review: Had to set these to 4-4-4-12 2T to work finally, once I did though I was able to OC to 947mhz..around 8k on memory bandwidth

Overall Good Experience

Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L200S0 200GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 1.5Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L200S0 200GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 1.5Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Great hard drive, windows recognized 197gb which is expected, its not loud at all compared to the fans on my case, I partitioned the hard drive into 3 seperate drives, 1 of 100gb, ome of 25gb and the other of 72gb all with ease. It hasnt crashed or anything. Its extremely fast as well

Cons: These did not come with SATA drivers for me to install during the WIndows Xp install process (when you press f6). I tried contacting my Mobo manufacturer but got the runaround. When I use HTTach to test it, it comes up with results of 133mbps instead of 150 so im kinda disapointed in that apsect..its a whole 17mbps slower than it should be..

Overall Review: Apart from lack of SATA drivers, it has performed extremely well..
