Most Favorable Review

Pretty good ram

OCZ Fatal1ty Edition 4GB (2x2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory (The Official Memory of the Championship Gaming Series)
OCZ Fatal1ty Edition 4GB (2x2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory (The Official Memory of the Championship Gaming Series)

Pros: Motherboard recognized instantly. Good price after rebates. Okay Overclocker.

Cons: Have to manually set timings and voltage to the rated specs.

Overall Review: Took this to 950mhz at 2.2v and 5-4-4-15 timings. Will see if I can take it a little higher (I know I cant get it past 1000mhz). Gets me a 5.8 in vista. Pretty good for the price after rebates. Evga 750i SLI F T W; Q6600 2.4ghz @ 3.0ghz; Artic Cooling F7 Pro; Evga 9800gt; OCZ 4gb ddr2 800; Antec True Power Trio 650 PS; Raidmax Tornado Midtower

Great Card at a low cost

EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 512-P3-N971-TR
EVGA GeForce 9800 GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 512-P3-N971-TR

Pros: Can't find a better performing card at this price point. Overclocked, it ran Crysis maxed out at 720p with decent frames without any noticable drop. I dont know if its just me but my HD videos seem alot sharper too. May be because I havn't upgraded in a while, but man, my videos have never looked this good.

Cons: Gets hot, very hot, but all cards seem to have this problem nowadays.

Overall Review: If you want to play all the newest games at the best settings without shelling out a bunch of cash, this is the way to go. Evga 750i SLI F T W; Q6600 2.4ghz @ 3.0ghz; Artic Cooling F7 Pro; Evga 9800gt; OCZ 4gb ddr2 800; Antec True Power Trio 650 PS; Raidmax Tornado Midtower

Great Board

EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI  FTW ATX Intel Motherboard
EVGA 123-YW-E175-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI FTW ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Great board. Built for overclockers. Onboard on, reset AND CMOS bottons. Can I ask for more? Overclocked my q6600 to 3.0ghz with ease (will go higher later). Everything I needed in a motherboard. Led indicater is pretty helpful too. Bios is easy to understand.

Cons: Did have some issues posting, but it turned out to be the harddrive.

Overall Review: Almost everything from a highend board at a fraction of the cost. The only (that I know of) 750i board that has full 16x in both pcie lanes. If you want want to overclock and go SLI, this is the board to get.

Super Fast

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - HH80562PH0568M
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 - Core 2 Quad Kentsfield Quad-Core 2.4 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - HH80562PH0568M

Pros: Very very very fast. Overclocked to 3.0ghz no problem.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: What to say. If your waiting to make the jump to quad......don't. The processor is cheap (comparitavly) and the performance is out of this world. Came out a year ago and still beats up anything you can throw at it. Don't wait. Intel Quad is the way to go Evga 750i SLI F T W; Q6600 2.4ghz @ 3.0ghz; Artic Cooling F7 Pro; Evga 9800gt; OCZ 4gb ddr2 800; Antec True Power Trio 650 PS; Raidmax Tornado Midtower

Great Power Supply

Pros: Powers all my components no problem.

Cons: Can't think of any yet

Overall Review: Got this in a combo deal for great price. Definatly worth it.

The Tornado

RAIDMAX Tornado ATX-238WR Black / Red SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
RAIDMAX Tornado ATX-238WR Black / Red SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP. You wont find a better value than this. Free Shipping makes it all the better. Fans provide decent airflow though I wish they would of put a 120mm for the front intake instead of a 80mm.

Cons: Hard to work in with standard ATX. I have to flip the case around to get to the SATA ports on my motherboard(EVGA 750i SLI). The top most Optical Drive door is absolutly useless. Had to take it out. Both my optical drives bulge out a little. Taking off the front is a pain.....seriously, why make it so tedious.

Overall Review: For the price, this is great. This is great, but it does have its problems. If you are patient its a great case.
