Terrific Processor

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - HH80562PH0568M
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - HH80562PH0568M

Pros: Can run multiple programs at the same time with lots of room to spare. Running at 19-24 C with the Zalman 9700NT and Antec 900 Case. Can be overclocked but haven't found a reason to do so. I ran up the FSB to about 1120 Mhz for better performance. Cpu runs at 2.52 Ghz now

Cons: Cannot think of any.

Overall Review: Q6600, Zalman 9700NT, Antec 900, Asus P5N32-E SLI, Kingston Hyper X 2Gb, 8800GTS, Thermaltake 850W PS

Awesome Cooler

Pros: Runs Quiet! Q6600 with 1120 Mhz FSB and runs 19idle -24 C loaded. Might be because of winter and keeping the house cooler, but this fan works well! Highly recommened. Cool green glow.

Cons: Bought the wrong one at first. Get the NT. Careful when work on the computer with this fan installed. It can cut you you pretty good. Use Duct tape while working inside.

Overall Review: Q6600, Asus P5N32-E SLI, Antec 900, Zalman 9700 NT. I may want to change the leds on my Antec 900 case now lol.

Impressive for being the underdog

Pros: Performs very well despite being the under performer to the 8800GT. I normally play WoW and run 40-50 fps with all the eye candy turned on. Haven't played Crysis yet.

Cons: Price, even with the free game.

Overall Review: 3d mark score of 11199, no overclocking done yet. Q6600, Asus P5N32-E, EVGA 640-P2-N828-A3, Kingston HyperX 2x1GB DDR2 8000 memory, Thermaltake 850W PS, Antec 900. EVGA allows you to do an upgrade at their site within 90 days if you don't like your video card.

Pretty impressive case

Pros: Lots of cooling, plenty of space to put your hardware in. Looks great. Power/reset buttons and usb ports easy to access. Provides a nice place to put my iphone in while I sync it. Runs very quiet with all the fans on low setting.

Cons: Not much really. I believe the blue leds can be turned off if having your computer glow is not your thing.

Overall Review: Would've been nice to add the fan that goes to the side in with the case. Not a huge deal though.

Great case

Antec Performance One P180 Silver cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec Performance One P180 Silver cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case is constructed very well. It looks clean, professional and feels solid granted that the case is heavy. There is very little noise as I have the exhaust fans set at medium speed. Of course, high speed will be louder. Temps have been low, even with consistent gaming time. There is an opening in the power supply duct for a PSU with a top mounted intake fan. Overall the case was worth the money spent.

Cons: No built in computer speaker. Wiring may be a little frustrating.

Overall Review: I did have to reverse mount the case power supply intake fan to make room for the wiring for the power supply lines.
