Wow.... Sound quality is out of this world!!

Logitech X-540 70 watts 5.1 Speakers
Logitech X-540 70 watts 5.1 Speakers

Pros: This speaker set is the best one i've ever bought. It sounds like the action is right in the room with me. Lows have a kick to them but not at all overwhelming. Highs are rich and crisp not muffled like some speaker sets. Remote is a great thing to have so you don't have to climb behind desk to adjust bass. Built durable and sub is somewhat heavy.

Cons: The only let down is cables are not that long , but nothing a couple $4.00 rca extentions can't fix.

Overall Review: Cable length is Front speakers = 5 feet Center speaker = 5 feet Rear speakers = 12 feet

One bad stick out of box

G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBSR

Pros: I have used G Skill Mem in other pc builds including my own. Have been reliable and stood the test of time.

Cons: When I installed them in the build one stick would not show in bios ... kinda a bummer but newegg is sending another so all is good

The monster at the top of the Amd food chain

Intel Core i7-920 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 1366 130W Processor - BX80601920
Intel Core i7-920 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 1366 130W Processor - BX80601920

Pros: I have had mine up to 5.0 with ease. Right now running at 4.2 using 1.3 vcore and it stays at a chilly 23c idle and at full load using prime95 for 50 hours max core temp was 54c. I like the Hyperthreading be on but if you don't, turn it off and crank up the speed!!

Cons: Yeah!!!! That I did'nt get it sooner!! lol

Overall Review: I've worked with both Amd and Intel and clock for clock, Intel wins and as far as temps go Amd almost always runs hotter.

If you own a computer, you gotta get one

CORSAIR Hydro Series H50 120mm Quiet Edition Liquid CPU Cooler - Intel Only (CW-9060006-WW)

Pros: I have a I7 920 @ 4.2 using 1.3v and my Idle temps are 23c. When at full load using prime95 for 36 hours, temps are 45c. Pump is whisper quiet and runs at around 1400 rpm. Hoses are steel lined and 1/4 inch. Wow!!!!

Cons: None Are you kidding?

Overall Review: Did not use the thermal paste on the waterblock, I used Arctic Cooling MX-3 instead. Also did not use the included fan. I used 2 Coolermaster 2000 rpm fans in a push-pull config.
