Works Great

Microsoft Windows Vista 64-Bit Home Premium for System Builders Single Pack DVD
Microsoft Windows Vista 64-Bit Home Premium for System Builders Single Pack DVD

Pros: This OS is great. Not only does it run better then xp but it looks alot better. Its 64-bit, Can read all 4 gs of ram, and Its DX 10.

Cons: It eats up ram but thats why I have 4 gb.

Overall Review: For all the people who dont like the "User Account Control" or UAC, you can turn it off. I know in order to install some games It would need to be off. In the search bar type in system config. go to the tools bar and look for the disable UAC line. and click it and restart and you're good to go.

Great

OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700 W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: This PSU is Great. The best prat I think is the duel PCI-X conn. Which is great for muti gpu computers.

Cons: The blue LED, could be a problem. Because I have a Antec 900 case and I wanted to change the Blue LEDs for Red to match my ATI HD 3870 x2. But now I guess I will stay with blue.

Overall Review: The best part is that the second PCI-ex 6 pin is also an 8 pin. So now I can hook up my GPU with a 6 pin and an 8 pin.

Great but not with 4 gb of ram

DIAMOND Viper 3850PE3256SB Radeon HD 3850 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card
DIAMOND Viper 3850PE3256SB Radeon HD 3850 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card

Pros: This card is great. I built a pc for a friend and with this card an AMD 64 x2 6000+ and 4 gb of g skill ram at 800mhz its so much faster then my laptop from alienware(Spec)-core 2 duo 1.83, 160 gb hhd, 2gb ddr2 667 Ram, with an ATI 1800 GPU.

Cons: I cant get the crad to be stable with 4 gb of ram in. I have used ATI divers 7.10, 7.11 ,7.12 ,and now the new 8.1 and windows vista HP 64 bit keeps crashing and recovering. I get lots of artifacts and the pc becomes unusable.

Overall Review: With the 2 2gb sticks in it wont work. Take 1 out and all is fine. The ram is fine because i have used both sticks alone but the ATI diver keeps crashing. Vista sees all 4gbs of ram and runs. But the 1st hint of anything 3d the driver fails. Over all this is a great card... just not with 4gb of ram.

Why is the chipset made by Ageia???

GECUBE Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card GC-HD3870XTG4-E3R

Pros: Well its the Hd 3870 for a good price. with the chipset RV670xt so im guessing that it is a little faster than the RV670.

Cons: Why is the chipset not ATI? it should be but its made by Ageia? I just dont know to get this card if the Chipset is made by Ageia and not ATI.

Works Great

Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows
Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows

Pros: This product does just what is says it will do. I can connect up to 4 con. + wireless headsets but most games are just one player. I use this with a Black 360 Con. and my wireless 360 headset and Great Halo 2 (PC) plays much better with a con and not a mouse and keyboard.

Cons: one problem is that you cant turn the controller off useing the guide button. You have to let it sit there idle for over 10 mins. Or you just take the battery out. Next Why is the cable 8 feet LONG??? I still havn't taken the twist tie off the cord.

Overall Review: Im using vista home premium and I cant wait to use it with shadowrun.

Great Case

Antec Performance One P-160W Silver 1.2mm Anodized Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Antec Performance One P-160W Silver 1.2mm Anodized Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Very light case(even with everything in it)I bought this case over a year ago and I looks the same now. I front filter is great for keeping your case dust free. But you need to clean it out or else it doesnt work right. The hard drive trays are easy to get to and the Mobo tray is nice to have.

Cons: The stealth drives are really bad with my CD drives. I have to pull out the front of the case maybe half an inch. Or else the button is being pushed down and then a have to restart my computer and unhook my CD drive.

Overall Review: When I got it it came with 2 120mm fans and both had leds on them. Really Great case
