Pros: Very quiet, light hum that is hardly noticeable. I skimped and got the USB version, fairly slow transfer speed, might have been better to go with the E-SATA version instead. Next time maybe. Plenty of space for everything I have, no more DVD back-ups. I leave the drive on almost all the time for file downloads and the enclosure is very cool, like mug of lukewarm coffee cool.

Cons: The yellow light on the edge is a little bright, but at least it is a soft glow, rather than the bright blue LEDs that are in my case.

Overall Review: This is my 3rd Seagate hard drive. Very satisfied with Seagate quality so far, haven't had a single dive fail on me, and one is 4 years old.

Pros: Good HDD from what I can see so far.

Cons: Total storage space is only 127 gigs. I don't know if this is normal for a HDD to be over 30 gigs below the specified rating. Might follow up with Western Digital for why they basically sent me a 120g when I paid for a 160g.

Pros: This card can run Crysis (and everything else) on my 19" LCD at 1440 x 900 on high perfectly. Haven't tried it with DX 10, but I doubt it would be a problem. I haven't noticed any slowdown, even with 10 bad guys on the screen. It was the most I have ever spent on a video card, but no regrets.

Cons: The card hit 85c before I noticed the fan speed was only at 29%. At 60% it stays right around 45-55c without being buzzy. Its not a super noisy fan, but my room doesn't have that peaceful silence it used to. It becomes a moot point if you are using headphones, watching a movie, or playing games because the fan noise isn't loud enough to interfere.

Overall Review: Running an AMD X2 4400, Antec 900, ABS 700 watt PSU, Asus SLI Vista Edition mobo, 2 GBs of Corsair 800 MHz ram.

Pros: No PCI-E power plug required, good drivers, good company, trade-up program, and runs brand new stuff at good resolutions. World in Conflict rated at about 30 FPS on 1440 x 900. Maxed all the settings (had to turn off HDR) in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion at max resolution and runs perfect. So much different experience over the 6200 AGP my old system had. Good price for what you get.

Cons: Not really future proof beyond 2008, and I wouldn't want to run DX10 with this card.

Pros: Super quiet, even with all 4 fans running, nice blue lights, extra space for a VGA fan if you wanna get crazy. Solid construction, perfect fitment. Can't beat the price for something this good

Cons: The top fan makes it too tall to fit in my IKEA desk, last mid tower fit fine. Probably worth measuring whatever desk you plan to put this in, or plan on some light duty construction.

Pros: Rated in at 2.31, my other prior 2 CPUs clocked at below the rated spec by at least .05 or less. Switching back and forth between programs is super smooth, ditch the single core!

Cons: Really freaked me out how tight the fit is for the heatsink.
