Well..

COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M600 RS-600-AMBA-D3 600W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M600 RS-600-AMBA-D3 600W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: It works. It's also modular, I'm never making the mistake of buying non modular again. Nice packaging

Cons: Despite getting mine on sale, this isn't cheap for a 600w. I suppose you pay more thinking it's going to be more reliable. I hope that's true.

Meh

Rosewill RCT8B-100 Black 8" Cable Tie
Rosewill RCT8B-100 Black 8" Cable Tie

Pros: Black, discreet and good for small wires

Cons: Good for small wires only. These are very small cable ties and will not take any large cables without slipping.

Overall Review: I gave 3 stars because they worked, but I wouldn't buy again. Go to a local hardware store and get some proper ties.

Great

MSI GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N450GTS CYCLONE 1GD5/OC
MSI GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card N450GTS CYCLONE 1GD5/OC

Pros: I don't know much about graphics cards, but this card hasn't flinched at any game I've tried on it. It averages 70 fps in Left 4 Dead 2 on full settings (no AA of course)

Cons: Non

Overall Review: If you're one of the anti aliasing crowd, you probably best move on. Personally I'd trade x32AA for 1fps any day, so this card is perfect for me.

Sheesh

MSI 870-G45 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI 870-G45 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: I bought this as a new PC gift for the wife. My own GIGABYTE motherboard cost 3x more, SO WHY IS THIS ONE BETTER THAN MINE?! I also love the MSI overclocking features. This one for instance automatically overclocks your CPU, and actually works. Cool huh

Cons: Yeah right

Overall Review: If you're looking at this motherboard and thinking "Well, I'm an eliteist, I'm willing to pay alot more for better quality".. Boy you'll regret it later.

LOGISYS Computer Area 51 CS51WSL Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 480W Power Supply
LOGISYS Computer Area 51 CS51WSL Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 480W Power Supply

Pros: Bought this because it was the only good looking silver case, and boy does it look good. I installed a huge 250mm side fan, all blue LEDs inside. It looks very professional and stylish. I also like how 'no nonsense' this case is, no modular 'quick fittings' wasting space, it's a solid piece of metal to bolt components to.

Cons: Fragile... REALLY fragile. You only have to breath on the plastic to scratch it, try not to leave it on the floor. The PSU is worthless, don't buy this case expecting a PSU. Several of the connections needed resoldering. The front panel which hides the DVD drive doesn't close properly, it stays open a little bit.

Overall Review: Despite the flaws, I'd buy this again. It's like dating a super model. Sure shes going to be crazy and throw knives at your head. But man she looks good. Quick tip, if you're going to use blue LED's, spray paint the inside of the case gold. Trust me on this
