Pros: Easy install and worked great when burning a few cds and dvds. I upgraded from an old 4x dvd burner, so this one also seems ridiculously fast to me.

Cons: none so far.

Overall Review: I was a little hesitant to get a SATA dvd-drive since I have never owned one and I wasn't sure if the drivers would easily install. Turns out there were no driver issues and it was an incredibly easy install.

CyberPower AVR CP1500AVRT UPS - 1500VA/900W, 120 VAC, NEMA 5-15P, Mini-Tower, 10 Outlets, PowerPanel Personal
CyberPower AVR CP1500AVRT UPS - 1500VA/900W, 120 VAC, NEMA 5-15P, Mini-Tower, 10 Outlets, PowerPanel Personal

Pros: Works great. I've been using it for over 6 months now and it has prevented problems from a number of power spikes and brown outs and it kept the computer and two monitors running during a 10 minute blackout a few weeks ago.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: The summary feature in the software is pretty interesting because it logs all power related activity and I never realized how variable my power is. I should of gotten a good UPS a long time ago.

BUFFALO WHR-G125 Wireless-G High Speed Router & Access Point IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g
BUFFALO WHR-G125 Wireless-G High Speed Router & Access Point IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g

Pros: Excellent price for a good wireless router. Noticably faster then my old belkin router, and was easily able to connect my Nintendo Wii and DS to it. Available dd-wrt firmware.

Cons: The LAN and WAN lights are on the back, which is a minor annoyance.

Overall Review: Easily the best router available for this price.

Antec earthwatts EA500 500W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.2 80 PLUS Certified  Active PFC "Compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
Antec earthwatts EA500 500W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.2 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC "Compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply

Pros: Lots of good options two 12v rails, 80 plus Cert., and 99% active PFC. It is also very quiet and the cables were more than long enough for my full tower case.

Cons: One 80mm low rpm fan allows the power supply to get pretty warm under a heavy load (it does stay cool under a light load) and is not sufficient if it the only exhaust fan on your case.

Overall Review: First one I received had a broken fan and overheated, the replacement is working great though.
