Most Favorable Review
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ - Athlon 64 Venice Single-Core 2.0 GHz Socket 939 Processor - ADA3200BPBOX
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ - Athlon 64 Venice Single-Core 2.0 GHz Socket 939 Processor - ADA3200BPBOX

Pros: Excellent value. Overclocks well. Mine runs @ 2.4ghz with no trouble, and that's certainly not it's ceiling.

Cons: AM2 replacing 939.

OCZ GameXStream OCZ600GXSSLI 600 W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply
OCZ GameXStream OCZ600GXSSLI 600 W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Product performs as advertised. LED lights are nice, not too bright.

Cons: Product arrived one day late and slightly damaged. U.P.S. box was fine, but the product box was clearly crumpled on a corner from being dropped or crushed. The case of the power supply was slightly bent. It doesn't affect performance, but I'm not very excited that the Newegg shipping department didn't notice they were packing an obviously damaged product for shipment.

Overall Review: Product is functional, and I don't want to wait two weeks to RMA it.

YAMAHA HTR-6130 5.1-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver
YAMAHA HTR-6130 5.1-Channel Digital Home Theater Receiver

Pros: Many different kinds of inputs. Programmable scene modes on the remote allow easy customization. Price is nice.

Cons: HDMI ports are passive. The receiver will not play or decode audio signals through HDMI. Audio and video is passed straight through the receiver to the TV.

Overall Review: Because the two HDMI inputs are passive, you may run into a shortage of digital inputs if you hook up more than two or three different devices.
