Pros: Very good gaming capabilities. Overclocks fairly well, runs at 750MHz core with 2100MHz memory but had some artifacts when running ATItool. Settled in at 700MHz and 1980MHz memory. Scores a 12431 on 3dMark06 Pro when overclocked(this is higher than a stock 8800GT for what I've seen). Around 10500-11000 on stock speeds. For 80 dollars less than the 8800GT this is the best performance per price graphics card. This is even better than the 9600GT! Plays Crysis on 1920x1200 on medium/high settings! Runs COD4 on 1920x1200 on max settings!

Cons: The single slot cooler is a bit small and the fan shield gets quite hot. Only scores a 5.8 in gaming experience on Vista (even after overclock). Only 384MB & 192bit memory interface.

Overall Review: Specs: Q6600@3.66GHz Gigabyte P35-DS3R 4GB Crucial Ballistix 640GB Raid 0(2x320GB Seagate) Razer Barracuda AC-1 Soundcard Lian Li PC-V1000B Case Ultra Pro Series 750W PSU

Pros: I bought 23 of the PII 940 CPU and this mobo combo for a computer lab. Only 2 were DOA. Setup was easy and all the mobo connections are in great locations and within reach in the Antec 300 case. Just did a little bit of OCing, I was able to get the 940BE to 3.6GHz with only +0.1v. Good control of memory timing and voltages as well.

Cons: However 2 were DOA.

Overall Review: If you are not using the on board HD3300, you don't need to connect the 4 pin molex power.

Pros: Low profile card which is perfect for low htpc cases. No noise but the heatsink gets a bit hot (runs at 69-75C). Goes very well with the 780G onboard graphics with hybrid crossfire. I have mine overclocked to 650/460Mhz stable. Plays 1080p mkv movies flawlessy with my AMD 5050e at stock speed.

Cons: Video and 3D enhancements don't really work. Vista score is only 3.8/4.0 (onboard 780G HD 3200 gets 3.8/3.9).

Overall Review: Great card especially for less than $20! Alternatively you may want to consider a HD 4350 or 4550. Keep in mind this is passively cooled so there is no noise!

Pros: Bought this over the 1.5TB even though the price difference is only 20 dollar. Very fast 3 platter design. Runs quietly and cool. HDtune test shows a read speed avg of around 95MB/s and max at 125MB/s.

Cons: None so far... but price was raised 10 dollars during the 15% paypal promotion.

Pros: Great quality components on the motherboard. Layout is pretty straightforward. Plent of room around the cpu socket for aftermarket coolers. The NB heatsink stays very cool even with overclocking. I paired this with an AMD 5050e and was able to overclock from 2.6GHz to 3.1GHz with just 100+mV.

Cons: Upon first start, the chassis intruder feature was preventing the system to start up even though the jumpers were set to off. Fixed this problem by resetting the BIOS.

Overall Review: Great for a HTPC build. Onboard video is quite good. Gets 3.8/3.7 on Vista.

Pros: Low 45w power rating for stock clock speed. Very quiet fan. Overclocks very well. I got this to 246MHz x 13 (3.2GHz - 5.5 Vista Rating) w/ 1.31V to the core. This was done with the stock fan (but with Arctic Cooling MX-2 Compound). It idles at low 40°C and full load at under 48°C. At stock speeds (5.1 Vista Rating), it idles at mid 30s and loads around 42°C.

Cons: Somewhat light/cheap heatsink.

Overall Review: Excellent CPU for a HTPC system... or any system for that matter since it is a great overclocker. I chosed this CPU over the 6000+ and the 5400+ BE.
