Top notch

Verbatim DVD+R DL 8.5GB 8X with Branded Surface - 20pk Spindle
Verbatim DVD+R DL 8.5GB 8X with Branded Surface - 20pk Spindle

Pros: 100% Success rate, NEC 3550A 1.07

Cons: Why? Seriously? What else would you get over Verbatim? You pay for it, that's the only con what else is there?

Overall Review: "Now that they moved their production to a different country the quality is horrible. I have coastered 12 in a twenty pack." Guess what buddy your burner is going out, it's not the media so get over it. Or you decided to multitask while you burned, in the end it doesn't matter. Verbatim has no equal.

Excellent product, not doa settings optimal.

MSI 870A-G54 AM3 AMD 870 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Just giving it 5 eggs, I don't want to bother writing a proper review, it deserves it's 5 eggs. Compatible with G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBECO for YOUR reference, no issues with my Phenom 1055T build. Didn't bother with rip jaws. Posted on the first try.

Cons: Some people might have an issue with some of the sata 3.0 ports (most are facing east towards the HDD location, and 2 are horizontal toward sidepanel -normal output location-) not an issue for me though.

Overall Review: The manual is pretty vague with some information, but which mobo manual isn't? Zero problems OC'ing to 3.09 GHz from the stock 2.8, can easily go higher. Flashed the bios very easily on this.

One of the best cases I have ever worked with

Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This case is nearly perfection for the money you pay, there isn't much more to say other than the front panel is easily removed and that it looks beautiful. The front panel dust filter is effective and of high quality yet simple. The thumb screws are AWESOME, it brings a ton of them. Keep in mind that they are pretty heavy/solid so put in the amount you need, you don't want to carry around a heavy rig do ya? :)

Cons: The side panel doors can get bent (base hinges) if you take them out improperly but it's more of my own issue I always have when taking these out from cases :p so be careful and gentle. If you happen to bend the hinge a little just correct it back and bend in the opposite direction to fix it.

Overall Review: The side vent is worthless (imo), cover it up with the base anti static filter your motherboard comes in/sits in and ductape it to the vent, get TWO quality front LED 120mm case fans to supplement the top and back 120mm's. It'll improve your airflow/temps. (I'm Idling between 22c-27c on stock air and up to 40-41c MAX load with a Phenom 1055T @ 3.0 GHz, w/ a rice grain sized centered AS 5 drop on CPU) in the summer heat of NYC. This case is pro, add in to the fact that it has 2 slots for two SSD's for people waiting to upgrade to them like myself and you have a future proof case that is pure quality through and through, all for a dirt cheap price.

Oh MY!

HIS Radeon HD 4670 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card H467QS1GH

Pros: This card DESTROYED my 8600GT performance wise.. I have only tested Dragon Age Origins and so far the game runs like BUTTER... For the price you can't ask for more, this card runs MUCH cooler than my 8600GT that ran @ 59C idle and which DIED recently, this baby only runs at 37C idle

Cons: Are you kidding me? Under $XXX for such a monster of a card?

Overall Review: BUY IT this is not a bargain, this is a ROBBERY!
