MSI K9N2 Diamond AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 780a SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
MSI K9N2 Diamond AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 780a SLI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Accepted and recognized all my hardware without a hitch. Fits my two 9800GTX's. Came with a great sound card. LEDs on the board light up my case. Comes with pin headers making power switch installation a breeze. Easy to update the BIOS from the MSI website. Comes with a boatload of cables and headers. All in all, and excellent MOBO. It even runs the new Phenom II's even though it doesn't know what they're called right out of the box, it just says "unknown AMD processor"

Cons: Uneven spacing on the PCI-E slots makes installation a bit awkward, but with a bit of fidgeting it's fine. You can fit the sound card in there even with two massive GPU's, just make sure you put the sound card in first.

Overall Review: MSI K9N2 Diamond AMD Phenom II X4 940 8GB OCZ DDR2 1066 Dual 9800GTX's ABZ Tagan BZ 900 PSU 2 Samsung DVD Burners

WHY LOGITECH WHY

Logitech G15 2-Tone 104 Normal Keys USB Wired Standard Gaming Keyboard
Logitech G15 2-Tone 104 Normal Keys USB Wired Standard Gaming Keyboard

Pros: It's a keyboard, has nice programmable function keys, keystrokes, backlight.

Cons: Everything that made the G15 great has been either removed or downgraded. There are less function keys, the keystrokes feel less sturdy, the LCD screen is now a joke with lower resolution, and blue is just hands-down better than blue.

Overall Review: OK, so it's not a bad keyboard, not even a little bit. I just wish they hadn't stopped selling the old ones. I just saw the product stop appearing on newegg.

Teh Suck

NVIDIA Gift Call of duty - World at war
NVIDIA Gift Call of duty - World at war

Pros: Both copies were free. Not playing either.

Cons: Not really a con, just a matter of personal preference. This one was not made by infinity ward, which is why it's not as good as COD2 or COD4. They didn't need to go back to WWII. The game itself is action-packed and beautifully rendered. I just don't like it.

BEAST

EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 512-P3-N871-AR
EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 512-P3-N871-AR

Pros: This card will render the snot out of anything you can possibly throw at it. Runs cool, runs quiet, runs FAST. Got two of them and I can run just about anything with max settings.

Cons: This card is BIG. Make sure your MOBO and case has room for this monster(s) before getting it. I had to file most of the metal part on the end off to get the front of the card to seat down far enough in my MOBO, although I'm certain that this was not the fault of the card, but rather me assembling part of my MM case wrong.

Overall Review: I got two! You should too! $160? Are you serious? DO IT NOW Not really a con: I got two copies of COD5 with my order, and I'm not playing either of them. WWII ftl.

Effective. Quiet.

APEVIA CF12S-UBL Case Fan
APEVIA CF12S-UBL Case Fan

Pros: Moves lots of air, keeps the noise on the down-low. Cheap, durable, has an adapter with both male and female connectors. Can't be beat for the price. Get a blacklight :)

Cons: Clearly says it does not come with LEDs. Don't buy if you want them.
