Very high quality case
Pros: It's two 1200mm fans run very silent and cool. It has a very unique design that make it stand out in the crowd. No silly graphics that you don't need, it's not flashy but it has flare. The slick blue LED side lighting and black paint and easy opening side door make this a very forgiving case to work with. Everything just works, it's tooless for adding CD drives, HDD's and video cards, you only need a screw driver for your mobo.
Cons: None whatsoever, I'm going to keep this case for a long time. And the more expensive Cooler Masters are what I'll look at the next time I buy a case.

Fast, Dependable, Low price
Pros: I have two WD5000AAKS hard drives in my computer, and they work so fast and quiet without missing a tick. I run alot of games and movies so these drives are working hard for long hours and they do the job well. My pc runs 24/7 and never get above 45C during full load, averaging 40C. My computer starts windows XP Pro super fast, everytime, much faster than my old Seagate 160GB.
Cons: None except if one of them ever fails me I lose a ton of data that would take a long time to replace, but you have that risk with any hard drive.

Awesome
Pros: This hard drive is so quiet I can barely hear it when i'm loading a program. It has 465Gib and operates at 45c, better than my Seagate which is 47c. Best thing about this drive is the Western Digital name, the hundred and four dollar price tag, and the newegg I got it from :) Keep up the good work newegg!
Cons: It sometimes makes a quiet high pitched sound for a couple of seconds and then it goes away. This drive might be defective but so far it has been performing great. If it gets any worse i'll call tech support and see if we can get this fixed.

Quality Chipset Cooler
Pros: I baught a MSI K9N4 SLI motherboard for my new computer a couple months back and one thing the reviewers said about tht board is the chipset fan dies. Well actually what happened is the fan plugin the fan was plugged into died and the cord is too short to reach to another plugin. So i baught this instead and was able to plug it in directly to a 4pin molex connector on my PSU. It came with a small tube of thermal compound which I used on my video card and CPU also to lower their temps. All went well the fan works and my chipset stays below 35C.
Cons: This fan has a slight high pitch sound to it, you can hear it wind up when you power on and wind down when you power off. It's hard to detect when the PC is running, I have 5 total fans and their all very quiet including this one. Not really a con just an observation. My PC is very quiet, I leave it on 24/7 and my bed is right next to it, I have no problems sleeping with it on.

Awesome VGA Cooler!
Pros: I am very impressed with the thoughtful construction that went into this. All of the pieces are durable high quality parts, the instructions are high in detail and inbformation. Installation was a breeze but the real goodness comes after you turn on your computer for the first time. This fan is whisper quiet! the included fan speed controller lets you turn a dial to choose your speed. I have it adhesive held on the front of my case coming out of one of the CD bays so I can reach down and turn it as I see fit. My MSI 8600GTS OC runs cooler than it ever has! GPU diode gets no more than 43 when gaming, and sits at around 40 when web browsing. I give this a big two thumbs up and I'm glad I baught this one over the less expensive coolers. Zalman fans are my new favorite computer fans, i'm going to replace my 2 cooler master 120mm fans with zalman 120mm so I can put these in my other computer that doesnt have case fans. What a great brand!
Cons: Are you kidding? NONE!

Cheap solid RAM
Pros: It was cheap, it works and hasn't been a problem yet. I've always had good luck with RAM, the stuff usually lasts forever if it works when you first install it.
Cons: n/a
