Great quality

Nippon Labs eSATA Cable 0.5M (1.64 ft.) eSATA cable for SATA I and SATA II Hard Drive 1.64ft Model ESATA-0.5M 1.64 feet
Nippon Labs eSATA Cable 0.5M (1.64 ft.) eSATA cable for SATA I and SATA II Hard Drive 1.64ft Model ESATA-0.5M 1.64 feet

Pros: Very strong and durable quality. Feels relatively heavy too compared to other sata wires of that size which probably means its not cheap. Connects easily into my ports; I didn't have to wiggle it or play around with it or anything. Speed is good too; I transferred about 20 something gigs in like 5 min. Normally a usb cable would take at least 30 min or even an hour to transfer that much data.

Cons: The length I guess can be a con but it tells you up front how long it is. As of right now I have my hard drive behind my tower but if I get a new desk one day and have to move my hard drive somewhere else it definitely won't reach. I don't even think it would reach if I wanted to put the hard drive on top of the tower.

Get it

SilverStone SST-SDP08 3.5" to 2x 2.5" Bay Converter (Nickel-coated)

Pros: Excellent quality. I am very impressed with how strong and durable it is. It does what it say's it's going to do: hold 2 2.5" hard drives in a 3.5" bay. Comes with all the screws and everything. What more do you want from a bay converter? Don't get those cheap plastic ones or the ones that are like $15-$20 or more. This one is perfect.

Cons: None

Red Sound Activated Light

Pros: Great light, very bright! I have 3 blue led lights in my case already and I just installed the red sound light and the red and blue go great together. There is no problem at all seeing the red light even with all the blue already glowing in the case.

Cons: Would have been nice if it came with 2 red light sticks instead of just one. Also, the shipping is expensive especially compared to the price of the product but if you were to buy it in a store it would actually come out to be about the same price anyway.

Overall Review: When I change songs I might need to change the sensitivity in order to get the best response from the light. On the other hand its not hard to change the sensitivity because there is a knob in the pci slot.

Pros: This is a beautiful monitor. I had a 1440 x 900 monitor before this and its definitely worth the 1920 x 1080 upgrade. Forget about those other reviews that say there's a little bleeding because there isn't at all.

Cons: The DVI cable it comes with is single link and I thought it would come with dual link.

Pros: Wow that fan is amazing. I have a 120 fan and 2 80 fans and this power supply moves way more air than them. The blue light is cool but its not going to be enough to light up your case. Its nice to have in addition to a blue led fan but it can't be your only source of light. It's also built very sturdy and has more than enough wires.

Cons: No cons.

Motherboard compatibility warning

AMD Phenom II X4 920 - Phenom II X4 Quad-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HDX920XCGIBOX
AMD Phenom II X4 920 - Phenom II X4 Quad-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Processor - HDX920XCGIBOX

Pros: Excellent processor, very fast.

Cons: It is true that the Phenom II is compatible with all Phenom compatible motherboards; however, you will probably need to do a bios update on the motherboard, and that requires another processor to be used. So if you are buying a new motherboard and a new processor and you don't have any older model processor, you will need to buy one in order to use the Phenom II.
