Pros: Replaced a similar 6570: i3 2100 @ 3.1GHz, 8GB 1333 RAM (2x4GB), 1TB 7200RPM HDD, 300W PSU, mATX * Total system draw is only about 170W max, despite 400W warning. * Windows score 7.1 (up from 6.8 on 6570). *Skyrim on 6570 - 1680x1050, 4xAA, 4xAF, ~30FPS *Skyrim on 6670 (5% memory, 10% core overclock) - 1920x1080 with everything maxed, ~30FPS (very playable IMO)

Cons: Expensive for the performance (with rebates, full-sized 6670s on Newegg are as low as $60).

Overall Review: This is the most powerful card currently available for a low-profile build. Systems like the one I'm running (listed above) are highly undervalued; with deals and bargain hunting, I got all the hardware for under $300, and I'm playing games like Skyrim, Mass Effect 2, Crysis 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, etc with their settings fully maxed. Source games all run >80 FPS with maxed settings. My system is clean of bloatware, and it boots within 25 seconds. This won't hold true forever, but think twice before you spring for all the best hardware. A $2,000 system over 6 years is still more expensive than 3 $500 computers over the same timeframe, and with less resale value over that time. I expect to sell this computer for about $150 - $200 in the next 12-18 months, but a $2,000 computer in six years will probably only fetch about $350 - $500.

Pros: It's a 2TB drive which I picked up on sale for $120.

Cons: I purchased two, one of which arrived DOA. Newegg is of course quick and easy to deal with, but as I wanted these for a home storage project and had to pay return shipping, I was a bit annoyed.

Overall Review: I have the working one in a Synology NAS enclosure that had no trouble recognizing it. I have not formatted or attempted writes to it yet, but it is at least visible.

Pros: * Heavy Duty - Pretty sure this thing could withstand small arms fire in addition to water and heat. It feels robust, very well constructed, and the fittings are tight. * Excellent Interface - I've been using Synology products for years and the current web interface available for the ioSafe is robust and easy to use. The Help documentation is actually helpful, and it was simple to navigate the sections and get done what I needed. * Fast - I ran a test with 5x 7200RPM 2.5" 320GB drives in a 1.2TB RAID5 array, and all running on a 10/100Mbps link. Despite all of the expected limitations, it completed a full 1TB encrypted TimeMachine backup to an encrypted volume in very good time. This is anecdotal (unfortunately) as I did not time it, but I was pleased with the speed.

Cons: Heavy, not rackmountable.

Overall Review: I have yet to push it to its limits with large 3.5" HDDs, but if its performance thus far holds for several years, I will be thrilled with the purchase.

Pros: I got two sets (4x8GB) of this RAM when it was on sale and I had some coupons. It may not always be this low, but that was $170 total after promotional pricing and $110 after my coupons. Possibly the best deal I've ever gotten on Newegg! Installed on a Mac Pro 4,1 2x2.26GHz 4-core (with the eventual plan of upgrading to 2x2.66 6-core, 5,1 firmware). The point is, in dual-channel configuration they work great. And once it's a 5,1, they will reach their native 1333MHz speeds. Installed, 4 slots are still open for future expansion. Geekbench shot up 500 points with this RAM from the stock 6GB. I think it's because of the tight timings of this RAM and the fact it's non-ECC. Looks a lot cooler than the stock Mac RAM, and has a heatsink.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: The price may not always be this low, but just 7 years ago I paid $250 for 2x1GB DDR2-800. Before then it was even crazier. $100 for 16GB RAM is an excellent price.

Pros: High 4k read/writes, excellent garbage collection, and synchronous NAND made this the choice drive for me. I haven't RAIDed them yet due to issues with Mac OS X and Bootcamp, but the option is there and these have been reviewed well for such a task. The price is excellent for the feature set, especially considering that they are almost perpetually on sale by the Egg.

Cons: The 2.5" - 3.5" bracket is incompatible with Mac Pro drive sleds? I knew it ahead of time, so this isn't really an issue.

Overall Review: Eventually I'd like to RAID these using an onboard SATAIII controller. Until then, these are saturating my SATAII ports with 260MB/s up and down, and that's just dandy.

Pros: It works. I have a flashed XFX 5770 ZHFC in a Mac Pro 3,1, and this adapter works with a 27" Apple Cinema Display.

Cons: $16.99 seems a bit high for a passive video adapter, but it's really the only option.
