Well worth it

AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition - Phenom II X3 Heka Triple-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM3 95W Processor - HDZ720WFK3DGI
AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition - Phenom II X3 Heka Triple-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM3 95W Processor - HDZ720WFK3DGI

Pros: Unlocked the 4th core within 2 minutes of very first boot up using an AMD M4A785TD-V EVO. Very overclockable, very stable. Runs cool ever with 4 cores.

Cons: I'll let ya know if any appear

Most Critical Review

Slow speed

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL

Pros: Look cool, run cool.

Cons: Will not run at advertised clock or timings. The SPD tables in them arent even for the advertised timings. Runs ok at 1333 and CAS9 timings. RMA'ing for OCZ CAS7 set.

Overall Review: heatsinks arent quite as big as they seem, which is good, they dont cause any clearance issues on my Xigmatek 1283.

Great drive

Rosewill RX234 2.5"/3.5" SATA III USB 3.0 LED Single Bay HDD Docking Supports UASP and Hard Drive Capacity Up to 10TB
Rosewill RX234 2.5"/3.5" SATA III USB 3.0 LED Single Bay HDD Docking Supports UASP and Hard Drive Capacity Up to 10TB

Pros: Never had a problem with it. Eveyrthing fits properly, runs great, good transfer speeds. Comes with dual male usb plug. this is because some earlier computers and some laptops only have low output USB ports. Any modern computer will have only high power USB ports and you'll only need to use the thicker plug.

Cons: none

Overall Review: love it.

Love it.

Overall Review: Not very often the cheapest one you find is the best value, but this is it.

Great as usual

Western Digital WD Green WD5000AADS 500GB 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
Western Digital WD Green WD5000AADS 500GB 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: Its a WD, therefore its awesome. I've basically bought nothing but WD's for years, and never had a problem with them. Only drives that werent WD were my 2 Hitachi 1TB drives, just because WD didnt have 1TB at the time. Runs quiet, runs cool.

Cons: I should have spent more and bought a bigger drive, even though I dont need it. :D

Eh, you get what you pay for

Logitech Black USB Wireless Desktop MK300 Keyboard and Mouse - Retail

Pros: Keyboard works great, mouse has great feedback, nice layout for the multimedia buttons

Cons: Mouse isnt worth much over 8 ft away, even with perfect line of sight and no electrical things in the way or general area.

Overall Review: Spend a little more if your going to use this for an HTPC
