Most Favorable Review

Quiet & Cool Running

ASUS GeForce GT 630 2GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Low Profile Ready Graphics Card GT630-SL-2GD3-L
ASUS GeForce GT 630 2GB GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Low Profile Ready Graphics Card GT630-SL-2GD3-L

Pros: No fan to make noise or clog with dust. Low power consumption so will probably work with most existing power supplies. Also less heat in your PC case. 3 year warrantee from ASUS.

Cons: Not for heavy duty games. Does take up two spaces with the large heat sink.

Overall Review: Windows-7-32 bit WEI of 5.5 & 6.8 on a P45 motherboard. Replacing a GF-430 which has a fan. Hope ASUS's $10 rebate comes through.

Most Critical Review

Does not have XMP

HyperX Blu Red Series 8GB DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model KHX16C10B1R/8
HyperX Blu Red Series 8GB DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model KHX16C10B1R/8

Pros: Seem well built and reliable.

Cons: Does not have any JEDEC or XMP programmed to run at 800MHz. Fasted is JEDEC#4 at 685MHz. Assume made to be used with a very overclocked CPU.

Overall Review: Today Newegg has simular Kingston on sale with the XMP programmed to run at 1600. Ordered two pairs.

Now a fast 10 year old computer

WD Blue 3D NAND 2TB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5"/7mm Solid State Drive - WDS200T2B0A
WD Blue 3D NAND 2TB Internal SSD - SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5"/7mm Solid State Drive - WDS200T2B0A

Overall Review: Much faster than a hard drive. So light that I did not need to purchase a 2-1/2" adapter plate and mount it in my desktop PC. To keep my wife's old recipe program, still running a 32 bit operating system. ChrisPcWEI-6.3=7.3 for the hard drive.

OK drive, but don't purchase it in the retail kit.

Seagate ST310005N1A1AS-RK 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Retail Packaging
Seagate ST310005N1A1AS-RK 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Retail Packaging

Pros: This retail kit package only gets you the hard drive in a pretty box with an instruction book but tthe same two year warrantee. I have purchased 5 of them in the retail package and had no failures in the last three years.

Cons: The retail kit no longer included the Seagate Disk Wizard software. The retail kit does not include a SATA cable or the mounting screws. Not a particularly fast drive, have purchased 5 of them in the last few years.

Overall Review: The OEM/bare drive is a better deal if you do not need the instruction book.

Bargin full size system with Win-7.

DELL Desktop Computer 390 Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 4GB DDR2 80GB HDD Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

Pros: Full size BTX case with a 375 Watt power supply. Arrived clean with no cosmetic signs of wear. Motherboard supports SATA. Being Dell, you can download the maintenance manual & diagnostics.

Cons: "Core 2 Dual E6320 " CPU was a slow 1.86Hz which only gave a WEI=4.8. The DVD-ROM is IDE.

Overall Review: Fortunately, it came with an ATI Radeon HD3470 rather than the strange PNY Quadra NVS card I purchased a used "Core 2 Dual E6700" 2.67GHz CPU and WEI=6.1

Inexpensive 1155 motherboard

Pros: Well constructed and clean remanufactured board. Came with all the accessories.

Cons: No DVI or HDMI video outputs.

Overall Review: Would not boot at first. A few days late, reseated the G530 CPU, and all is well. Win-7 WEI=6.3, 7.4, 4.8, 5.7, & 5.9 Purchased for a give away system reusing an old Celeron G530.
