CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C9

Pros: perfect for the i7 920 processor. runs just as rated. 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 timings at 1.65v. I acutally have been running mine at 1.62v for over a month.

Cons: none.

Overall Review: i liked these so much i just ordered another kit.

EVERCOOL SFF-12 Case Cooling Fan
EVERCOOL SFF-12 Case Cooling Fan

Pros: high cfm rating

Cons: one of the three i bought is loud. sounded like the bearing was busted when i took it out of the box. not worth it to return to newegg.

Overall Review: go for a better fan maker. noctura looks like the best.

get another brand

Acer H213H bmid Black 21.5" 5ms HDMI Full HD 1080P Widescreen 16:9 LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ACM 20000:1 Built-in Speakers

Pros: just got it today. picture looks great, no dead pixles.

Cons: there is no way to adjust the monitor settings. I took the gamble with this monitor because if has good specs for a cheap price. the left and right arrow buttons (touch buttons) do not work. I wish i listened to everyone else who had trouble and wrote reviews.

Intel Core i7-920 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 1366 130W Processor - BX80601920
Intel Core i7-920 - Core i7 Bloomfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 1366 130W Processor - BX80601920

Pros: Best value for a high end processor! This thing is self aware of its self. I overclock and use the c-state technology. on idle it underclocks itself to 2.8Ghz and on light-medium use it boosts its self to 3.6GHz with 1.275vcore. runs alot faster than my last pentium 4.

Cons: wish i could have afforded the extreme edition.

Overall Review: Asus P6T Deluxe, Corsair XMS3 1600MHz 6x2GB, Tagan BZ900 900W power supply, Nvidia 9600 GT video card... all very very fast.

NZXT TEMPEST Crafted Series CS-NT-TEM-B Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
NZXT TEMPEST Crafted Series CS-NT-TEM-B Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: sleek look. lots of air flow. works well for core i7 setup. bluray drive. and 4 hard drives in the bottom bay.

Cons: had to modify the case... i wish they installed mid level rpm fans stock. these 120mm fans only spin 1000 rpms and i added 1500 rpm fans with no increase in sound. but twice the CFM airflow. if you want a great air system get better fans or find another case.

Overall Review: after taking the good old sheet metal cutters to this thing to allow a behind the board run of my front panel connectors and ripping out thoes low rpm stock fans to add in high rpm fans this case works wonderfully.

Vigor Monsoon III LT Dual 120mm Fan CPU Cooler Socket 1366 Ready
Vigor Monsoon III LT Dual 120mm Fan CPU Cooler Socket 1366 Ready

Pros: good for the i7 cpu.

Cons: i duno who designed this mounting bracket. its horrible. i wish i bought a different bracket for the i7 cpu. this thing is designed to never be removed because removing the cooler would mean to dismantle the whole inside of the computer starting with the motherboard. I have had for over a month and have air filters on all fan intakes. I can already see dust forming on the heatsink and there is sadly no way to clean this thing in the future without a few hours of work.

Overall Review: get the noctura.
