Just works

LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model LH-20A1S OEM BK
LITE-ON 20X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model LH-20A1S OEM BK

Pros: Forget those IDE drives, SATA is the way to go. The burner has worked perfectly. What else could you want?

Cons: None that I can think of.

Overall Review: Did not even have problems reading some old scratched up dvd-rws.

Good memory

Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model BL2KIT12864AL804

Pros: I didn't want to shell out money for pc2 8500 ram so this was perfect, especially with the giant rebates. The stock settings at 800mhz with 4-4-4-12 timings works great with an intel e8400.

Cons: These things run pretty hot, but haven't seen an effect on stability for my purposes yet.

Overall Review: Do you really need fancy lights on your memory? I would have gone with the regular ballistix model if not for the rebates.

Interesting

ATARI Gift - The Witcher PC Game

Pros: Definitely different game mechanics than a lot of games. Interesting to play.

Cons: American version translation is terrible. Can be very confusing which detracts from the gameplay.

Overall Review: I wouldn't make this a deciding factor in a purchase.

Great psu for price

Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V Ver.2.2 / EPS12V version 2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified  Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V Ver.2.2 / EPS12V version 2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply

Pros: Great psu for price. Energy efficient=cool. Very stable.

Cons: No modular cables.

Overall Review: Do you really need 650W? The 500W EA500 could be a great choice as well.
