Most Favorable Review

Good price

Verbatim 4.7GB 16X DVD+R LightScribe 30 Packs Spindle Disc Model 95091
Verbatim 4.7GB 16X DVD+R LightScribe 30 Packs Spindle Disc Model 95091

Pros: Can't beat these for the price/quality.

Cons: The burned images can be a little blurry, but because of the physical structure of the DVD it's allways gonna be blurry compared to a lightscribe CD

Overall Review: Id highly suggest getting the lightscribe contrast utility from the lightscribe website. it draumatically increases the image quality at the expense of a little more time burning.

Good buy

KeyTronic E03600QLPS2B-C Black 104 Normal Keys PS/2 Standard Keyboard
KeyTronic E03600QLPS2B-C Black 104 Normal Keys PS/2 Standard Keyboard

Pros: No frills keyboard and very durable. I can see this lasting a few years when most boards don't last but a couple months for me. It has a good solid "click" noise to it when you press a key which is a good thing as i personally like the old "clicky" keyboards as they help increase typing speed and decrease typing errors

Cons: The key stroke isn't what i expected, it's somewhere between a laptop (or slim) keyboard and the old Model M's that are so coveted by enthusiasts.

Overall Review: It will take some getting used to especially if your used to slim keyboards (ala laptop style)

Fantastic

Logitech MX500 Silver/Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB or PS/2 Wired Optical Mouse
Logitech MX500 Silver/Black 8 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB or PS/2 Wired Optical Mouse

Pros: Great mouse. I've owned it for 2 years myself and am dreading the day i have to replace it. The shape and size took some getting use to, but after about a week i was hooked. The forward/back thumb buttons are the piece de resistance on this, every time i use someone else's mouse i get frustrated at the lack of them.

Cons: None, an engineering masterpiece as far as I'm concerned.

Great drive!

LITE-ON Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 5X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 24X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2M Cache ATAPI/E-IDE DVD Burner With LightScribe
LITE-ON Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 5X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 24X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2M Cache ATAPI/E-IDE DVD Burner With LightScribe

Pros: The ability to read/write every DVD/CD format (except HD-DVD & Blu-ray) was the main buying point for me and it defiantly doesn't disappoint. The drive is extremely quiet and very small compared to my other DVDRW drives. LightScribe is just icing on the cake for this drive.

Cons: None, honestly the best dvd burner i've ever owned

Overall Review: Id highly suggest getting the contrast utility from the lightscribe website. It takes a little longer to burn, but the labels are a lot cleaner looking after setting it to best.

Perfect

Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05-WW Black/Silver Aluminum Bezel, SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Cooler Master Centurion 5 CAC-T05-WW Black/Silver Aluminum Bezel, SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This thing is awesome! the layout inside is verry spacious, i have a good 1/2" between my full sized ATX mobo and the rear of the drive bays. Tooless means no more unscrewing/screwing in drives and add-on cards (a real plus when your working on it daily)

Cons: The only bad thing i can think of with this case is the weight. If it were aluminum it would be perfect.

Solid

ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm Ceramic CPU Cooler
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 64 Pro 92mm Ceramic CPU Cooler

Pros: This cooler is a quiet monster. my temps have dropped a steady 15C off my zalman cnps 7000

Cons: The mounting can be a real PITA if our board has an odd layout (like my MSI k8n-neo2 platinum)

Overall Review: really a great buy
