Excellent CPU

Pros: Just like the previous reviewer, I got it up to 4.2 with no issues, but 4.3 was completely unstable. Even 4.25 gave me errors. But hey, 4.2GHz out of a sub-$1k processor...that works for me.
Cons: None. Not from this processor. I refuse to complain about not getting it up to 4.3GHz, that just sounds stupid.
Overall Review: My overclocking platform... EVGA 780i, 4GB OCZ cheap stuff, Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W, CM stacker 830, 3way 8800GTX. Does superpi 1m in 11 seconds, 20k in 3dmark06. This CPU pushes my system well.
Solid piece, few problems

Pros: I enjoy this product for its functionality. Excellent battery life, decent performance. Can't expect much out of it considering its hardware, but it pulls its weight.
Cons: Glossy screen. Glossy mouse. Glossy case. GLOSSY EVERYTHING.
Overall Review: What are ASUS and all other netbook manufacturers thinking when they design a product that is 100% glossy? Catering to a market that thinks a glossy screen looks better? Its just preying on the easily-impressionable. Fortunately, ASUS now offers a matte version of this netbook, which looks fantastic. Unfortunately, they didn't offer it when I bought this one, so I am left with a mirror that is good enough to shave in, that also serves as a small portable computer.
Worked well while it lasted

Pros: It was a very tough power supply. I originally bought it to put up with 3-way SLI and through all the stress I put it through gaming with triple 8800GTXs, +12V voltage was stable. For the last 3 years, it has seen a only a single video card and very mild use overall.
Cons: Died this morning, after 3.5 years of faithful use. It has been connected to a large industrial UPS all of its life. I know that's not much to complain about, but it sucks to be left hanging when it costed $400 to begin with and the fact that it hasn't been run hard for the majority of its life.
Overall Review: I will be trying a Corsair PSU this time.
Jake

Pros: Decent drive. Held its own for 20 months under a fairly constant duty cycle. Average read is more than I could ask for on a server as an interim data drive, access times are average.
Cons: Bought in March 2009, failed last week, November 2010. Far sooner than the MTBF states.
Overall Review: I asked a lot from this drive, probably more than it was rated for. It did well enough to deserve a rating of 3/5...but only 20 months of service leaves a bit to be desired.
Seemed like a good drive

Pros: It was a quick drive while it lasted. I had it on for 24 hours a day for about 6 months. That's not even scratching the surface of the MTBF.
Cons: I had four in RAID 5, and this one failed. Just stopped working, wasn't recognized in BIOS, nothing.
Overall Review: I've just sent it in for RMA. This is my first drive from WD that died. I still have faith...
Fantastic product

Pros: I've had it running with four WD 7500AAKS drives nonstop for 5 months now. The drives never overheat and I've had no stability problems to speak of. Absolutely flawless. Will be buying another soon.
Cons: None. I had to smash down the optical drive support tabs to fit this in the Aerocool case that wasn't necessarily designed for it, but thats the only problem I had.
