Pros: I have a Gateway 7422GX. If any one has this laptop then you have probably been through the nightmare of random shutdowns. I used this paste on after disassembling everything in my laptop and now it works.

Cons: None

JPAC 416 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply
JPAC 416 Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply

Comments: 30 days from arrival, BOOM...the worst night mare you can immagine, the PSU started smelling yesterday and I thought it was my socks...untill the computer started flickering on and off, then I came to the conclusion that it was toast. I still didn't try my computer parts to see if they are working fine or not, I bought another PSU today a bit pricy but probably alot better than this cleap one, it's a XION-600F14T-201 600W RT, hope I get it in time to test it out and make sure I didn't fry my Mobo, CPU or Video card...these parts are pricy.. other than that the case is very nice and good looking, for gamers, this PSU won't satisfy you.

Perfect

Pros: I have owned a few memory modules that went bad on me gradually and Memtest wouldn't pick it up... This one so far has been a dream. Word of advise, check your motherboard compatible list of memory modules and it's really important to make sure it's on there. I chose the memory module based on the motherboard and not what I wanted so, I spared myself a lot of problems.

Cons: None

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition - Phenom II X6 Thuban 6-Core 3.3GHz, 3.7GHz Turbo Socket AM3 125W Desktop Processor - HDE00ZFBGRBOX

Pros: This thing is a beast when it comes to video encoding and photo editing. I used to pull a 5-15 fps on handbrake with my Athlon x2 4200, now I can pull at least 65-85 fps with a bunch of things running in the background. Fan was easy to install too. I love how AMD bought out ATi, right now both softwares are compatible and they run very nicely hand in hand even in CrossFire X.

Cons: None so far, I'm not an overclocker so I'm OK with stock settings although, the Fusion software would come in hand for that if ever needed.

Love it

Cooler Master Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: Plenty of room, free fans with red LEDs in them with a stealth switch in the front. Front ports with are compatible with my Gigabyte motherboard for charging portable devices. Back plates are replaceable unlike other cases. PSU is at the bottom, that's new to me but I like it, keeps a lot of clutter out of the way. Very nice big fans.

Cons: A bit heavy, and then again it's not carbon fiber... I would expect the front panel and sponge behind it to collect a lot of dust. Fans are quiet but I would prefer silent...
