solid drive

Pros: Fast, quieter than I thought it would be, stable.
Cons: Gets pretty hot, but what drive doesn't?
Overall Review: I am thinking about buying another one of these identical drives.
This wasn't as good as I thought it would be

Pros: Easy to setup, doesn't take up much space
Cons: The built-in ethernet switch can become bogged down if the internet port is getting heavy traffic. I was getting some kind of DoS-like symptoms from my cable modem which caused my entire LAN to go slow; I expect the LAN to always go fast no matter what's happening from the internet. In other words, this router should perform like a switch connected to a separate router via ethernet cable, but it doesn't.
Overall Review: I am now using a linux box as my router connected to a linksys standalone switch and things are much better.
unstable, blue screen of death

Pros: If the memory was stable, it would be a great deal.
Cons: I already had a set of Crucial LANFest RAM (newegg edition) which has worked flawlessly for the three years I've owned it. I wanted to add more RAM so I bought this item. With all 6 gigs installed, it would bluescreen after booting up Windows 7 x64. I removed the Crucial memory and tried just this Patriot memory. Stability was better but I tried to play a FPS game twice; the first time it just crashed, the second time out outright blue screened.
Overall Review: system stability is my top priority when buying hardware.
great MB, no problems

Pros: Just works, stable, no problems. I am VERY happy with this purchase! It also has SLI so you can add another video card in the future for more speed without upgrading the rest of your hardware.
Cons: None that I've found
this cpu rules!

Pros: This CPU is fast and stable! I love it! Great price/performance ratio!
Cons: None that I can see. I've had no problems at all.
WD isn't the best anymore?

Pros: Fast, quit, lots of storage capacity
Cons: This drive failed after less than 6 months, and I lost a lot of data. Although the drive is covered under (I think) a 3 year warranty, this doesn't replace the data that I lost.
Overall Review: I intend to get this drive replaced (it's under warranty) but from now on I will only use it for temporary storage.
