AMD Athlon II X3 455 - Athlon II X3 Rana Triple-Core 3.3 GHz Socket AM3 95W Desktop Processor - ADX455WFGMBOX

Most Critical Review

Awesome while it lasted

Saitek PZ30AU 104 Normal Keys 4 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Eclipse Blue Backlit Keyboard
Saitek PZ30AU 104 Normal Keys 4 Function Keys USB Wired Standard Eclipse Blue Backlit Keyboard

Pros: Cool-looking, lighted keys - different brightness settings, very easy to use and comfortable, both for writing papers and for gaming

Cons: IT DIED ON ME AFTER 5 MONTHS!!! - Stopped working completely and would only produce the "s" character over and over

Overall Review: I loved it while it lasted!! I don't know if I would buy another one, especially in light of the much cheaper keyboards out there that work almost as well for a fraction of the price

H0LY *FAST* BATMAN!!!

SAMSUNG 830 Series 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PC128B/WW
SAMSUNG 830 Series 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-7PC128B/WW

Pros: WOAH! Fast!!! Sleek and tiny Samsung reliably record

Cons: None yet

Overall Review: I bought this for my new gaming system. Wish I could have afforded a bigger one, it fills up right quick. However, it is so fast it's almost unbelievable. This is not my first SDD either. I built my fileserver with a 64GB Crucial M4. It might be my other components, but this one does seem faster. In any case, both are great!

Rosewill RX35-AT-SU BLK Aluminum 3.5" Black SATA USB 2.0 External Enclosure
Rosewill RX35-AT-SU BLK Aluminum 3.5" Black SATA USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: This is simply the best enclosure I've ever seen. It does only what is supposed to do: turn an internal HDD into an external drive. Simple, elegant, and inexpensive

Cons: Not USB 3.0

Overall Review: Probably almost past it's time ... USB 3.0 is the way to go, but I would DEFINITELY check out the 3.0 version of this same enclosure!
