XFX PVT80GGHD4 GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
XFX PVT80GGHD4 GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Very powerful card. If you're setting up a gaming rig this is a good choice. Not quite as powerful as the GTX or Ultra, but the price point is much more attractive.

Cons: This card uses quite a bit of power, and puts off some serious heat. Make sure your case has plenty of fans. The addition of this card alone raised the ambient temperaure of my case 10-15 degrees C.

Overall Review: Performance wise I am very satisfied with this card.

Most Critical Review

Board wouldn't detect RAM.

BIOSTAR NF4 4X-A7 754 NVIDIA nForce4 4X ATX AMD Motherboard
BIOSTAR NF4 4X-A7 754 NVIDIA nForce4 4X ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: None known.

Cons: Board wouldn't read PC3200 Kingston RAM. I sent in for a replacement, only to see the same result the second time around. Switched brands and didn't have a single problem.

Overall Review: There is no tech support for this board. No support online. The manual flat out sucks. You can get basically the same board from other companies, with better support. So if you have a problem, you at least have a shot at getting it to work. But sadly, with this board, that is not the case.

Excellent!

Pros: Lots of storage, fast, quiet, cool, cheap!

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: I bought 3 of these and all of them are seemingly perfect. The first one I have had for over a month. The other two I've had for a couple of weeks. No problems so far.

It's a cable

OKGEAR 24" SATA 6 Gbps Cable, Straight to Right Angle W/Metal Latch, UV Blue, Backward Compatible with 3 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps

Pros: No problem at all with this cable. Connected a Western Digital Caviar 1 TB Hard Drive to my motherboard and the drive was recognized on the following boot.

Cons: Umm, it's not free...

Overall Review: If you need a cable, this one is perfectly fine. Looks decent inside my case too.

So far so good!

ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler

Pros: Very efficient, not too loud, blue LED, comes with good thermal paste, and keeps CPU nice and cool.

Cons: Very large unit. Installation, while easy, was made difficult by lousy set of instructions.

Overall Review: I had to upgrade my fan/heatsink because my cpu cores were idling at 45-50 C, 60-70 C under load. The addition of this cooler alone lowered cpu temps to 35-40 C idle, 45-50 C under load.

PC Power and Cooling S75QB 750 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply compatible with core i7

Pros: Nice power supply, plenty of connectors.

Cons: This is a very hot running power supply. If you have other hot components, or a case that doesn't provide good airflow, you might want to consider other options.
