Most Favorable Review

Almost Great

EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 512-P3-N871-AR
EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 512-P3-N871-AR

Pros: Runs everything I play smooth and on High or Max settings.

Cons: Runs ok for a bit but then I get graphics errors and screen flicker. I've tried 3 different versiosn of drivers from EVGA and Nvidia, issue still remains. Card is being RMA'ed to EVGA, hope the replacement works better.

Overall Review: Seems like a great card runs The Witcher on maxed settings, EQ2 is playable at very high settings. I have not been able to get anything else loaded to try out. Card is big make sure your case has room for it, fits in my Thermaltake Armor with no issues but that case is huge.

Most Critical Review

Taking a Chance

BIOSTAR 945P-A7A (8.0) LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard
BIOSTAR 945P-A7A (8.0) LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: It sort of works now

Cons: I am on my second one of these. First board arrived with a video card slot that is not working so I returned it. I just got my replacement in the other day and put my PC together again...I've got video this time but now one of the DIMM slots is dead. I've already got it all set up and the OS installed so I guess I am keeping this one.

Overall Review: I would stay away from this board if I could redo this purchase Neweggs return system is really smooth. Only down side is I live in South Florida and it takes awhile for the parts to get to Cali.

Massive

Tuniq Tower 120 Universal CPU Cooler 120mm Cooling Fan and Fan Controller/Heatsink
Tuniq Tower 120 Universal CPU Cooler 120mm Cooling Fan and Fan Controller/Heatsink

Pros: I am sure this would keep my processor nice and cool if...

Cons: it fit in my case. I have a Thermaltake Armor with a 25mm fan on the side this is just a tad to tall to fit in the case, the side fan hits the top of the heat sink so the case can not be closed.

Overall Review: Wish this fit my case, oh well I guess.

Rosewill RZS05 BLK Black Sturdy SGCC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Rosewill RZS05 BLK Black Sturdy SGCC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Really great case for the money. I built a small server in my house for school projects using this case. there is a decent amount of room to work with inside the case and some nice ways to route/hide cabling. The 120mm fan in the back moves some decent air and there is room for an 80mm in front of the HD cage.

Cons: The plastic "grill" piece slides up and down...feels kinda cheesy. I got this case on sale from Newegg for less then $20, for that price this case is pretty amazing.

Overall Review: As long as you know this is not a "top of the line" type of case you should be very happy with it.

BIOSTAR 945P-A7A (8.0) LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard
BIOSTAR 945P-A7A (8.0) LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Not much.

Cons: PCI x16 slot does not work. Could not get a video signal to my monitor, tried 2 different cards to be sure the card was not causing the issue. I hope the second one actually works for me.

Overall Review: Neweggs RMA process is great.
