Priceless...

Comments: xx$ for a solid, stable power supply. Runs cool and quiet, looks GREAT, and the cable management system is awesome! Don't be fooled by the cheap price, the dual 12v rail and the easy to disconnect molex connectors make this baby stand out. Uses low energy and is very safe to use. Has all plugs with dual 12V+ for SLI and SATA power. The Always-on Audio feature is neat but useless. Heavy parts mean quality. Weighs about 8 lbs. 5 Newegg 5 Skyhawk
Norton is overrated

Pros: User-Friendly Anti-virus... about it.
Cons: Resource Hungry Slow scans Detects easy viruses Bulky Updates need restarts Updates are rare good for 1 year.
Overall Review: Kaspersky is a MUCH better anti-virus and network protector. This software isn't very likable if you have any experience, in my opinion.
Amazing overclocker

Comments: Fast, cheap, and efficient. With a decent heatsink/fan you will get no temp increase from the stock 3.0Ghz to 3.4Ghz. The voltage this thing uses while being overclocked is truly a marvel, and with some overclocking you will see SUBSTANCIAL speed increases over 3.4Ghz. Be sure to use Arctic 5 on this precious 5 - Intel 5 - Newegg
Cheap and amazing

Comments: If you can, get the VIVO version for the unlocking of the 4 other pipes. The stock cooling on this bad boy is MORE than efficient and overclocks to a XTPE with 12 pipes with stock cooling just fine. With normal speeds it runs BF2 with max settings PERFECT! Coupled with some tweaked omega drivers this baby is amazing at Direct3D rendering. 1 con: sometimes it fails to 'start' at bootup... and my monitor blinks 3 times before it finally initializes. No big deal. Quiet and deadly... That's how it's done! Sapphire - 5 ATi - 5 Newegg - like pi (pun here)
Wing it :D

Comments: There is a TON of screws that I don't know what are for... and it can with no manual. It has jumpers for front side audio jacks but there are none unless I'm missing something. The LED's are pretty decent and you can fit a 120mm on the back. The case comes stock with 2 80's and room for a ton more. The temp gauge is nice, and the fan control is good if you have 2 front panel fans. Lots of room! The vacuum is air-restricting and should be replaced with another fan for it has no use! 5 for newegg 4 for Aspire
Gets job done

Comments: Nothing special. Sony is a decent brand when it comes to OEM computer parts. Sony computer are horrid and extremely overpriced. For 40$ a full burner isn't to bad with 16x DVDR speed. It can get a bit noisy and randomly CLICKS when reading CD's. 5 for newegg 4 for Sony.
