Genuine NEC Optiarc
Pros: This is a real NEC chipset drive unlike the 7220, which was a liteon oem. It also uses a chipset that is 90nm instead of 150nm and uses about half the power on the chipset. From what's known so far, this is a very good burning drive that even does pretty good quality 24x burns.
Cons: Nec drives don't necessarily have the best error correcting when reading.
Absolutely Terrible Psu
Pros: There are no pros unless you consider relatively cheap to be a pro. A corsair CX430 v2 is a many times better psu.
Cons: This psu does not output power at the rated 450W. It will fail at around 230 watts on load. Also the ripple on almost all rails is about regulated standards. This psu is almost guaranteed to fry your computer parts.
Does not work with 7000B
Pros: Seems like a decent kit
Cons: Unfortunately this kit does not work with the CNPS7000B series. It's sad they didn't make this work with the whole series. The C only has very minor differences.
