Great Buy

Pros: Very fast burns. Litescribe! Sooo much better than an old TDK CD burner. Also, SATA!

Cons: Didn't include SATA transfer cable. Make sure you buy one with this, or you will pay the price! They run 25 bucks at worst buy, what a rip.

Overall Review: I don't know why people are complaining about the noise. its a quarter as loud as my TDK drive, and it's a screwless case that its in, so i dont know what to say there. Its so quiet its not funny.

Do Not Recommend

Rosewill RNX-AC1900PCE, Dual Band Wireless AC1900 Wi-Fi Adapter for Desktop, Up to 1300 Mbps (5.0 GHz) + 600 Mbps (2.4 GHz) Wireless Data Rates, PCI-Express Interface, 3 x External Antennas
Rosewill RNX-AC1900PCE, Dual Band Wireless AC1900 Wi-Fi Adapter for Desktop, Up to 1300 Mbps (5.0 GHz) + 600 Mbps (2.4 GHz) Wireless Data Rates, PCI-Express Interface, 3 x External Antennas

Pros: Red Heatsink looks nice...

Cons: SLOW Data transfer speeds. I have tried everything imaginable to try and resolve this issue to no avail. I currently have 50 Mb/s download and upload internet in my house, and all of my other devices get at least 25, but my computer with this card installed typically only gets 5Mb/s download and about 3Mb/s upload. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers included on the disk, tried updating, tired downloading straight from Rosewill's website, nothing. Same slow speeds. It's a shame because this card is very stable and has a good signal but the transfer rates are atrocious especially for the $60 I paid for this thing.

Overall Review: If the speed issue can be resolved somehow I would definitely give this product a second chance.

Great mouse/keyboard combo!

Pros: This keyboard is very sleek. Has tons of features, such as the media panel on the right and the browser controls on the left. I almost never have missed keys, and it usually happens alot with wireless, but the connection is great on this keyboard. Mouse is very precise, very sensitive, and scrolls very smooth.

Cons: It wasn't free!

Overall Review: Very good keyboard mouse combo. If you have the money and are in the market, buy it! You won't regret it.

Terrible MoBo

BIOSTAR NF61S Micro AM2 SE AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
BIOSTAR NF61S Micro AM2 SE AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Cheap, Compact, Fast transfer rate. Good for price if plannin gon using a different graphics card.

Cons: On-board Graphics card is terrible. Everytime i try to view a video or play a game, my computer crashes...all drivers up to date, Processor is stable, all other periferals correctly installed, but the on-board GPU just doesn't cut it. I do not reccomend this Board for anyone with hopes of gaming.... On;y supports 2 Gig 800 MHZ....only 2 PCI, 1 PCI Xpress x16 that runs at X8, and a PCI Xpress X1......

Overall Review: I would not reccomend this board for gamers, maybe everyday computers, but no gaming hopes for this thing.....

Great Case!

RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP Black 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power Supply
RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP Black 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power Supply

Pros: The case is very easy to work with, parts just snap in, no screws for anything except for the motherboard. I just put my hard drive up on the floppy bay, because they are both 3.5 inch, and it fits in perfectly. The LED's are awesome, adds some personality to the case. I would reccomend thios case to anybody who wants a clean looking, fast built computer.

Cons: If you are not very knowledgable with computers, the instructions booklet doesn't do the greatest job of explaining everything. The power supply doesn't have enough slots to support Dual-HDD or dual Cd drive. If you are building a gaming PC, i would ditch the Power supply and buy a high capacity 700 watt supply. Front door sits too low, causing it to catch on carpet, but if it is on a wood or hard surface, it isn't too bad.

Overall Review: I would reccomend this case to anyone, the cooling on this thing is amazing. It comes with 5 fans total, out of the box, and an additional slot for a side exhaust fan. I have a 7-fan setup, and my computer stays below 30 Celcius all the time, even after 10+ hours of use.
