Great HS/FAN setup!
Scythe MUGEN-2 SCMG-2000 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler
Pros: CHEAP! Works very well...
Cons: Instructions, junk thermal compound.
Overall Review: The Vigor Monsoon III was sold out when I purchased this item, I'm glad I bought it. I used Zalman STG1 instead of the junk that came with this product and it keeps my i7 920 at 30 degrees celcius while idle. The instructions were a little funky, but the diagrams were dead on, this helped tremendously. Has great clearance on a Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P, all memory slots are still useable. Buy this product and you won't regret it.

This is a GREAT product.
Rosewill RNX-N2X IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB2.0 Wireless-N 2.0 Dongle (2T2R) Up to 300Mbps Data Rates WPA/WPA2 (AES, 64,128-WEP with shared-key authentication).Cisco CCS V1.0, V2.0 and V3.0 compliant, Vista/ MAC 1.3/10.4/10.5/10.6 Ready
Pros: Cheap, FAST, worked great out of the box.
Cons: None!
Overall Review: In throughput tests I'm able to get ~15 MB/sec (yes, megabytes not megabits) from a computer with this device to a hard-wired pc with a gigabit ethernet connection. The wireless pc is about 15 feet away and the long way through a fireplace. No dropped connections, no installation issues with Windows 7 x64 (download driver from Rosewill's website and use the Windows wireless config tool.

What a great product!
ZALMAN ZM - STG1 Thermal Compound
Pros: EXTREMELY easy to apply, works great!!!!!
Cons: None at all.
Overall Review: This stuff is keeping my new i7 920 at 30 degrees celcius during idle, when paired with a Scythe Mugen 2 (SCMG-2000). Will continue to buy this product instead of the competition.

Awesome hard drive
Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAJS 320GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: Excellent value for the price, VERY quiet and fast.
Cons: Wish I could afford 1.5TB drives in raid 0?
Overall Review: Set these drives up as a raid 0 array (~600GB available), they are VERY fast... glad I didn't waste my money on a Velociraptor.
