Effective.

Pros: Fast SATA drive for cheap.
Cons: Rumor is these drives fail. But that's any hard disk.
Overall Review: May buy another.
Fantastic deal!

Pros: Can't beat it for the price. The heat shield is nice addition. So what if it's 667 and not 800, there's not much of a performance difference, but there is a HUGE price difference.
Cons: Price went back up, just as I was looking to buy another.
Overall Review: The best budget RAM out there.
Wonderful.

Pros: Great little processor. Inexpensive, can handle a high workload. In a recent tech savvy processor review, this ranked highest in power for money spent. Not too many applications can use dual or quad core effectively, and gaming uses GPUs more than anything. So there's really no reason to spend more money for a little more power.
Cons: None at all. Great deal.
Overall Review: Go for this if you want next gen computing at last gen prices.
Inexpensive MicroATX

Pros: Cheap for Socket AM2. Works fine.
Cons: One PCIexpress slot, 2 RAM slots. It is a MicroATX after all.
Overall Review: If I had the money I would've bought ATX, I like the ability to add more later.
Works fine.

Pros: Works fine for my needs. With proper case ventilation, this should keep your CPU below 40C.
Cons: None. It is big, but it's not a problem. Retention clip design could use a little work.
Overall Review: Great for the money.
