Pros: Performance out of the box is excellent, no overclocking needed. I added a second card for SLI and literally doubled my 3DMark Vantage score, which is P26073 by the way with these two cards in my EVGA 790i F.T.W. / Core 2 Q9650 rig.

Cons: Other than being pricey, none really. I don't know what everyone keeps talking about with the system crashes or black screens they seem to be experiencing. Are they trying to overclock this already overclocked card???

Overall Review: Be sure you have a big enough power supply if you plan on running more than one of these. I had a 750watt psu, and two of these cards were way too much. I ended up getting a Corsair 1000HX psu and now they scream with power left over. The two cards ran so good together that I just bought a third to run Tri-SLI on my new EVGA X58 Classified / i7 975 EE build along with a stand alone 9800 GT for PhysX. I can say enough about the GTX 285 2GB's. They rock. Only other thought is if you plan on running multiple gpu's like I ended up doing, you may want to look into the 295 instead. You will get more for your money one you start stacking gpu's, but if all you need is one good gpu, this is the one.

Pros: Cheap, basic, gets the job done.

Cons: For some reason, these are made too narrow and I had to go to my local hobby shop and buy some longer screws to mount them. This is why I gave it 3 eggs instead of 5. They need to be made a little bit wider.

Overall Review: For the price, you can't beat them. Just be prepared to buy some longer screws, and most hard drive cages come with coarse thread screws, these use a proprietary fine thread screw, that's why I had to outsource some longer screws, to match the threads.

Pros: Large capacity for a cheap price, but you get what you pay for.

Cons: Only runs at 31.1MB/sec (via HDTune) and died after 48 hours of use.

Overall Review: I bought this drive for my home server, and when I initially installed it, it ran fine. My server immediately recognized it (after installing a jumper on pins 7-8), and the server started migrating data to it to balance out the storage pool. I let this run overnight, monitoring the progress every now and then, and keeping an eye on temps and such, which all stayed fine. The problem was the next day when I went to actually access my data, the drive was completely unresponsive. It was just making a constant *clunking* sound, which I have heard before from other dead Western Digital drives. Just to make sure it was the drive and not the server, I removed the drive from the server and installed it in a usb hdd dock, and tested it with my desktop computer. Again, it did nothing but make a constant clunking sound, nothing more. If you are in the market for a high capacity drive, and want to stick with Western Digital, buy the "EADS" drive instead. This one is junk.

Pros: One word......SPEED. I can't believe how much faster everything boots up and loads. From the time I push the power button, to when Windows is fully up and running, is all under one minute. Installation was a breeze. I used the OCZ mounts, and popped them right in, no big deal.

Cons: Price is the only Con if I can think of one, but three of these was STILL cheaper than the two 300GB VelociRaptors they replaced, and outperform then night and day.

Overall Review: I have three of these connected in a RAID 0 array, and am maxing out my board's internal RAID controller with an average data transfer rate of 660 MB/sec. I mean, do you really need anything faster than this?? As fast as you can click on something is how fast it opens up.

Pros: Very fast, and fully compatible. What else can you ask for?

Cons: Just a tad pricey, which is why I only gave it 4 eggs. With DDR3 Dual and Triple channel RAM becoming more and more common every day, there's really no reason why this ram should be this expensive.

Overall Review: After having issues with another popular brand's memory not wanting to operate at it's advertised timings, I returned them and bought this set. I am extremely impressed with this memory. Installed it with the advertise settings, and everything is working perfectly......and nearly 25% faster than my previous set!! I've heard that this memory is a good overclocker. I, personally, don't have any reason to overclock them but I don't doubt that they will do a good job. I chose the low voltage to decrease the heat inside the case, and just as advertised, they operated perfectly at 1.8V.

Pros: Decent performing RAM for the price. Certainly wouldn't pay full retail for it though. The price is the only reason for the second egg, otherwise I would have only given it one.

Cons: Won't run at the advertised 4-4-4-12 @ 2.1V. The only stable configuration I can achieve is with 5-5-5-12 @ 1.85V. I tried 4-4-4-12 with 1.8V, 1.9V, 2.0V, and 2.1V. Nothing works. My system just locks up or, in some cases, won't post at all.

Overall Review: I got the same performance out of the Dell branded RAM that came with my system. Did I just get a bad set?? Others seem to be having better results. One guy posted that he was able to achieve 1066MHz with 5-5-5-18 using 2.15V. I tried this and got a BSOD. I'm going to keep it because its here and its working, but unless a Patriot rep. responds to this with a valid reason as to why it won't run at advertised specs, I don't think I'll be buying Patriot RAM anymore, especially for any of my overclocked rigs.
