OCZ ReaperX HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ3RPX1333EB4GK
OCZ ReaperX HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ3RPX1333EB4GK

Pros: Nice design.....sped up my machine and doubled my ram qty OCZ....they are a great group of people who have the customers interest as their prime focus. The company realizes without taking care of customers, you have no business. They still care about profits, but are very customer centric(which is probaly one reason why they came out of no where a few years back and are taking loyal customers away from other companies)

Cons: Need better dimensions and better pictures on the websites since some mobo memory slots are closer than others. The last thing you want to do is buy this stuff and then it won't fit in your motherboard in the arrangement that you want.

I like them!

Bose® Companion® 5 multimedia speaker system
Bose® Companion® 5 multimedia speaker system

Pros: The sound quality is rich. I use these to stream music across my network to my machine from my NAS and then mainly to play video games. I had a Boston Accoustics 5.1 setup forever until my dog chewed the powercord as a pup. I wanted a small form factor and less wires to deal with. These match and in some cases surpass those in both the sound quality as well as space constraints and simplicity.

Cons: Win 7 64bit was a bit finicky at first with the connection but I attribute that to it being Windows. No slam there....just software bugs Of course the price but then again its a Bose product

Overall Review: I don't really call the price a con because I chose to spend my money there. Given that the American economy is nothing but buyers of other countries products its good to know that my money will be used on an American entity. I have always been a fan of Bose products ever since I purchase my Accoustamass 15 for my house back in 2001. They are still going strong and the sound is still just as good today as it was then.... Can't beat that... Get them....you'll be happy you did....

SPARKLE Magna R-SPI900GCM 900 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
SPARKLE Magna R-SPI900GCM 900 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Excellent build quality. The color coded nature of the different wire looms is excellent when you open up a case to see multiple wires. It also adds a little "pinashe" for windowde cases. the modular cabling is well constructed and the bag is also an nice added feature to store additional components not used. It is nice and silent as well No LEDS, just functionality!

Cons: not really a con just a preference I would have like to see the overall unit be completely modular including the mobo and cpu power as I did not use the PCIe cables for my clubs Dedicated server. I tucked them away in the open 5.25" bays.

Overall Review: I would have like to see asome varying lengths modular cables. I have an appreciation for the length (3 sata or 3 molex connecter per rail) but I only needed 2 connectors for this build so the other had to be looped around to store i nthe case. I would buy this PS again. I own a zalman 850, Antec 850 and an OCZ 700 and they are all good build quality. I can add Sparkle to my list again.

Good Stuff

Call of Duty World at War PC Game
Call of Duty World at War PC Game

Pros: One word.......Zombies Couple more words....People have complained that it feels exactly like COD4. Well I hate to break it to you, they built it right off of some of the same code as COD4! The game is still good though. If you play a game purely for enjoyment, then you will be satisfied. Good cinematics in the game and a good story too. Oh yeah two more words....Kiefer Sutherland

Cons: Really my only issue is a big one though. We have a 30 person lan once per month locally and due to zombie stuff falling under single player/co-op it looks for authentication. In the lan setting, the xombie mods or co-op will not work. We all have legit copies but we do not have internet so it can not be validated and thus we can not enjoy that in a lan environement. We've had no problems with the multiplayer portion of the game in that setting just the co-op/zombies stuff Lasly, to play a specific mod(any non standard zombie server) you have to launch the mod and play. By the time you see it i nthe game list, leave and launch the mod, then search for it again, the game has either already started or quit.

Overall Review: I also do not think that when searching you find all of the open games that are out there that haven't started. When I am in one mod I see a specific mod, hten when I go to luanch it and come back its not there, but then when I launch a different one instead and search I see the original one I was looking for. Those bugs need to be worked out. Also change the color of friends online and friends offline so its easier to see(like red/yellow)

Nice and Quiet

OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready Active PFC Power Supply
OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600 W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Quiet.....I was looking for a nice PS from a reputable brand(haven't failed me yet and they have showed that they care about their customers by how they respond to others) Also they have a great user community. Fit in my case that I also bought here(Apevia Xpack)http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144162 Came with a MIR to end up being like $25 after rebate Efficiency.....

Cons: Would have preferred for it to be modular, but that would have cuased the price to go up.

Overall Review: My only beef was for it to be modular but with the price to power ratio of what I intended on using it with, this thing is perfect. It fit perfect into my Apevia Xpack to run my 8800GTX, 4200+(socket 939), ram, one optical drive and a media reader.....however it looks like a snake pit with all the sleeved cableing in that thing!(But thats the nature of a mini ATX)

Beautiful

EAGLE Consus T ET-CSTSIU2-BK Metal 3.5" IDE / SATA USB 2.0 External Enclosure
EAGLE Consus T ET-CSTSIU2-BK Metal 3.5" IDE / SATA USB 2.0 External Enclosure

Pros: This thing looks and performs well. I gave it to a friend for his birthday that had a spare old drive laying around. I heard him always griping about not having much space so I got this thing for him since it does both IDE and SATA drives. Easy to upgrade as well

Cons: The drive is hard to get to becuase of the screws that hold it in place, but I undid the wrong one to begin with.

Overall Review: Looks pretty and does the job. If I needed space on a budget or needed to get that spare drive working again, I think I would go with this unit....Heck with the rebate, its almost free!
