Rebate Update

Pros: Works as advertised. Beautiful remote. Works flawlessly with media center.
Cons: Rebate company seems to be gone... Their website no longer works. Looks like I won't be getting the $30 rebate.
Sounds like a typewriter

Pros: Compact in size. Just a tad thinner then the average HD * It works * Runs pretty warm. 34c compared to 32c on my WD green.
Cons: Not quiet as I thought it would be. * Noisy - sounds like my office. A bunch of people typing. * Shame on the reviews for misleading me.
Overall Review: I should have went with a Samsung.
Loud

Pros: This card replaced my passive Graphic Card (Radeon HD 6670). Right away I noticed that the software Nvidia uses is a lot smoother and more user friendly than the ATI Catalyst. This card compared to the 6670, is obviously a little bit more powerful. So games ran smoother on higher settings.
Cons: The fan is loud. Annoyingly louder than any of the case fans. I might go back to my passive card because of the noise. It requires an additional power supply. I didn't notice this when I bought it. Luckily, I PSU had a few extra cables. So I am able to use the card.
Overall Review: I might return it for a refund due to the fan noise. Purchased this at a different site due for tax evasion.
Okay montior for the price

Pros: Very nice looking monitor * Price * Very Thin * Anti-Glare matte finish
Cons: Colors are a little off. Compared to my laptop, visting the same site, the colors on my laptop are more vibrant and vivid. I tried to adjust the colors but nothing helps. Even manually adjusting the colors on the ATI Catalyst control panel. Basically, some blue looks purple. And the text aren't as crisp. Also the stand is annoying. Monitor sits at an angle and I have to stuck a book under it to get a better angle.

Pros: Very cool and quiet drive. * Using this as my main OS drive and it's 5 degrees cooler than my WD Green used for storage. Interesting. * A lot quieter than my previous drive.
Cons: Windows seem to boot slower with this drive. But this could be because I cloned the HD and didn't do a clean install.
Overall Review: Samsung makes a great product. Never even knew Samsung made HD. Glad I came to this by accident.

Pros: Just as advertised. * Somewhat silent. You can hear it but it's not a whiny sound like my previous PSU. Just sound of moving air. * Long cables (I was able to route the ATX cable from behind the motherboard in a bottom mount PSU). * Decent price
Cons: * A lot of long cables * ATX cable has 2 plugs. Looks funky * When you completely turn off the power by either the button on the PSU or the button on your power strip, the PSU acts funny when you turn it back on. It turns on, then shuts off, then turn itself back on. Not sure what that is.
Overall Review: When they say "ECO" they weren't kidding. * No Manual * No Power Cord * Flimsy Box and feels cheap (but the carton holding the PSU is very sturdy). * Would be better if this was modular. Maybe I should have gotten the TP-550
