XFX 9800GTX

XFX GeForce 9800 GTX(G92) 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card PVT98FYDF9
XFX GeForce 9800 GTX(G92) 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card PVT98FYDF9

Pros: Very very high overhead for overclocking. I have mine running at 725/ 1200 , but ive reached up to 780/ 1350 on the stock cooler. I just run it on the lower clocks cause im just more trusting of there stability. That and the card looks great. Also , this thing runs COOL!!!! ... my old XFX 8600GT ran at 55C idle... this runs at 41C idle with the fan at 75% vs. 100% on the 8600GT. never seen it go above 62C on full load either so thats a plus..

Cons: The box doesnt open itself for you and install the card too?

Overall Review: This works great with my rig. I had gotten this with a Biostar TA770 A+ and wow its great. I have a AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ , 3 gigs of ram... and this puppy... or is it a puppy.... more like a ..... rabbid wolf... or a ... ALPHA DOG!!

The game is.. well

Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock w/Guitar Wii Game
Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock w/Guitar Wii Game

Pros: Its GH, what else do you expect. Great songs and unlocks and you get to play oniine

Cons: Never EVER get this for the Wii, there is a tremendous lag between when you hit a note and when the game actually decides to accept that you did. Terrible thing that the Wii cant just get a whole guitar and not need you to use a remote to install to play. Just cant stand it

Overall Review: Do yourself a favor, and get this for a different system because its just not worth it on the Wii

Great little buds, Long lasting too!

Razer Moray 3.5mm Connector Canal Black Noise Isolating Gaming Headphone

Pros: These buds have great sound and even greater long lasting quality. I've had my moray's for quite some time ( 1.5+ years ) and they have proven to be very very durable and quality sounding. I've put them into the washer / dryer countless times by accident, and another time to simply clean them. I've gotten them covered in sweat, dirt, dust, rain and they keep on working. They sound great even on the newer phones, even better than a pair of 100 dollar headphones I bought thinking they would replace them!

Cons: The only con I can remotely even call a "Con" would be the finish on them, it has been tried and tested but over the year and a half i've had them it has started to become polished and lost its ruberised look to it. Otherwise, they are great!

Overall Review: Could possibly use a in line mic, mabye even one day 5.1 / 7.1 surround sound?

Fatal1ty MKII Headset

Creative Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset MKII
Creative Fatal1ty Professional Series Gaming Headset MKII

Pros: Extremely Comfortable , Microphone quality is excellent , Sound quality when matched with a Creative X-FI Titanium is excellent as well. I'm just amazed at how comfortable these things are! I'm Coming from a pair of Razer Barracuda HP-1's and I thought those were good. That was a disappointment when I put these on for the first time

Cons: Price as always , But you get what you pay for !

Overall Review: Was skeptical about buying these at first because a friend of mine had purchased the original Fatal1ty 3.5MM Headset and the mic was DOA and didn't have the sound quality I thought it would. Creative has most definitely stepped up and made one very high quality product. I was also surprised that this headset wasn't branded completely with Fatal1ty's logo. Only has one on the right ear cup but it looks good overall. The headset is mainly plastic but feels well built. And the gloss finish is very nice on this headset aswell

Startech 8' Power Connecter ( 8 Pin )

StarTech.com EPS8EXT 8 in. EPS 8 Pin Power Extension Cable Female to Male

Pros: No drop in voltage , This is HIGHLY Recommended for people who have a bottom mounted power supply or who want to rout there long cables to make the internals cleaner and promote airflow. I personally had both to deal with and purchased 2 of these for a 16' length increase in my main CPU Power connector so that way I could rout the cables properly in my Antec 300.

Cons: A bit pricey in my opinion , Ive seen 10 foot extension cords at home depot for cheaper then an 8 inch power cord :\

Overall Review: For those who are concerned about a voltage drop , I have tested my system under full load and benchmarks and I have seen NO voltage drop at any time. Performs the way it should.

Antec 300 - Excellent Case!

Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: I have loved this case since I've gotten it. I had gotten it as a gift for Christmas this year and am so glad that I asked for it. This case has everything that an avid or extreme gamer would need or want. This case also has a huge mod potental and if you do your work correctly can also fit a custom made internal water cooling system! ( Yes I've done the research for this ) And aside from all of this it keeps my computer extremely cool under heavy load.

Cons: There are not many cons IF any to this case when it gets down to it. But if I have to name something that might be irritating to some or just an annoyance. The included 140MM fan and the 120MM fan that are 3 speed can get loud when switched to high / medium settings ( But thats why its called " High and Medium " ) Only complaint that I personally had was the side intake fan mount did NOT have a filter included. I solved this problem by buying the Generic 120MM Fan Filter ( OEM Version ) Wich you can purchase on newegg also! - This case can be a problem for some users with long add-in cards or graphics cards.

Overall Review: - Excellent Cooling - Can have up to 5 Fans including the 2 included fans - Dropped my overall system temp by 10C - High potential for mods - Max Add-in Card Length allowed 11 Inches , But is pushing it. - Fits cards such as the Nvidia 9800GTX My Setup: -AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Windsor OC'ed to 3080MHz -Patriot DDR2 800 1GB X4 ( 4GB Total ) OC'ed to 880MHz -XFX Geforce 9800GTX OC'ed to 800/2Ghz/2.4Ghz -Creative Fatal1ty Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium PCI-E -BioStar TA770 A+ AM2 Motherboard -Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7,200 RPM SATA II Drive -Corsair HX520W Modular Power Supply
