Great

Arctic Silver Arcticlean Thermal material Remover & Surface Purifier ACN-60ML (2-PC-SET)

Pros: This stuff works well... You do not need instructions because there are only 2 bottles.. one to clean.. one to purify.. smells nice and they give you a ton.

Cons: none.

Overall Review: would buy again.

Most Critical Review

3 of these died on me.

Antec Neo Power 430 430 W ATX12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC Power Supply
Antec Neo Power 430 430 W ATX12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Modular, Nice looking, Big fan, Nice Cables

Cons: Dies around 6 months.

Overall Review: This seemed like such a nice PSU. So many nice features pushed me to go for the Antec brand. I purhchased 3 of these total. One for myself. About 3 months later I purchased another for a friend. And about 3 months after that I purchased one for a client. Well about 8 months after using mine it died. My friends died around 6 months. And my clients died just yesterday. With each 3 units they smelled like electric fire and completely died. These were not all purchased from Newegg either. I will NEVER use the Antec brand name again for any of my clients or for personal use. I recommend you stay far away from these PSU's. I will be calling Antec once I replace the clients machine and trying to get a new model just to sell and get my money back. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Great drive, Bad price

Overall Review: Great drives but they need to relax the price on these things. I would buy more.

WOW.

HyperX 4GB (4 x 1GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Quad Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX8500D2K4/4G
HyperX 4GB (4 x 1GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Quad Kit Desktop Memory Model KHX8500D2K4/4G

Pros: - PRICE. The DDR2 price drops have been wonderful. And make this set of memory a true winner imo. - Stays cool and is stable when overclocking - Looks nice... - quick!

Cons: none.

Overall Review: Using this in new rig C2D E6700 oc @ 3.6ghz 9600 GT P5N-T Deluxe STABLE O.C! Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Quiet, Cool and Expensive

ZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT 110mm 2 Ball Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler
ZALMAN CNPS 9700 NT 110mm 2 Ball Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler

Pros: - Great cooling for air, keep my e6700 oced at 3.6ghz - 50c at load - Looks neat - Actually has some nice thermal paste with a brush to apply it - Mirror finish on base of heatsink!

Cons: - Little expensive but worth it imo. - Instructions could use a re-writing. Sort of hard to understand. Had to read it many times over. - The way it clips on to the lga775 boards is a little tricky. Need a long thin screwdriver to get it on good. And even when completely fasted the heatsink is slightly loose on the cpu. This does not seem to have any ill effect however. - The green light is annoying.

Overall Review: Using this in new rig. C2D E6700 oc at 3.6ghz p5n-t deluxe 4gb DDR 1066 9600 gt All around I would say this is a great way to keep your system cool without going to liquid cooling. But it does have a few flaws so therefore it gets a 4/5. I would purchase this again and recommend it to friends and family for sure.

Great Quality, Great Price, GREAT CASE!

LIAN LI PC-60APLUSII Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
LIAN LI PC-60APLUSII Silver Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: - Clean and Minimal Look - Thumbscrews everywhere - Lots of good quality fans, excellent cooling - Great Price - Easy to hide wires under mobo

Cons: - Instructions could be better, They need to hire a new translator. - Mobo tray was strange, I couldn't figure out how to remove it. But was able to run wires behind it no problem.

Overall Review: I have built many computers over the last 10 years or so. This is possibly the nicest case I have had the please of working with. It is for my personal gaming rig and I am extreemly happy with it. Would recommend to anybody who wants to spend a little extra and get real quality. Lian-Li has always had such great case designs that cater to the enthusiast without having the glowing lights and skulls/aliens stuck on case.
