Very Nice Mobo

MSI K8N Diamond Plus 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI K8N Diamond Plus 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI X16 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Good layout, plenty of overclocking options in BIOS, easy install, onboard Creative sound, full x16 SLi, plenty of ports, just under 200$

Cons: 'Fanless' chipset? It is a little big, i had to put off adding the aftermarket heatsink for the CPU purely because of the large chipset heatsink.

Overall Review: New System: Cooler Master Full Tower (Stacker), AMD 4800+ OC'ed, 2 GB OCZ Gold, This mobo, (1)XFX 7900 GTX--This thing just slices thru FEAR (Low 43, Avg 78, High 138--Graphics maxed out)

Great Power Supply

Pros: This power supply has it all, just take a look at some of the specs. Nice simple design, modular, sleeved cables

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Don't let the unknown name scare you away from this one. I was wary at first but after giving it some thought, it was a simple choice

Best for Air Cooling

Pros: This heatsink is great. Not too big, not too small, cools great. Don't have to remove the mobo for AMD installation. Quick installation, 30-40 mins.

Cons: Barely qualifies as a con, but you gotta be careful when your handling it so you don't bend the copper fins or scratch the super polished bottom

Overall Review: Cooling my AMD X2 4800+ @ 2.56ghz -Idle:32-34 -Load:39-42 ARCTIC SILVER 5!

I'm sure it works well...

COOLER MASTER RR-UNH-P0U1 100mm Rifle CPU Cooler

Pros: Nice looking, heavy duty design

Cons: **NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MSI K8N DIAMOND PLUS**...the pre-attached metal backplate is too thick for the nuts to be applied

Overall Review: Really sucks, i'm just xx$ out. I'm sure it works incredibly well, but i'll just have to find something else...

Pros: This monitor pwns. I'm not sure why you would buy the GAMER edition monitor for the same price, when you get a higher contrast ratio and faster lat. response time with this model. It just makes sense. Excellent picture quality, outstanding color, very little(if any) ghosting...

Cons: Only 1, the UPS guy came late in the day, so now i don't have as much time to enjoy it! =)
