Great new CPU

Pros: Stock-for-Stock, is 7% faster than the Q6600. My Q9300 is running a cool 29c at load on an Actic Freezer 7 Cooler. Seems to be compatible out of the box with many P35 boards, Im running a MSI P35 Neo-F. Couldnt be happier with this processor.
Cons: The 7.5 multi might be a turn off for some Overclockers, But, this CPU will perform better at 3.4ghz than a Q6600 at 3.6ghz. (Xbit Labs Article)
Overall Review: Its amazing how many non-owners banged up this processors reviews, but its a good thing, it dropped the prices rather quickly.
Great MB with unganged mem support.

Pros: This is a solid motherboard with a really nice feature set. Lots of SATA and expansion options, good bios support too. The best option is the Single Channel / Unganged Mode for Ram.. You can use a single Module, which is great for a low cost way to peicemail upgrade.
Cons: It does take a larger sized case than some folks might have.. be sure to check your specs.
Excellent processor!!

Pros: Performance is fantastic! It is a solid little CPU and is comparable to my Intel Q9300 Quad Core in general windows tasks. rock Solid, runs cool and is super affordable.
Cons: None, best inexpensive quad core yet.
Excellent, Quiet and Efficent PS

Pros: WOW! This is a Fantastic power supply! Really rock solid and quite as a church mouse. Has a LOT of connectors, great for SLI or higher end Video Cards. The Flat black finish is really nice!
Cons: None at all.
Overall Review: This is the best value going for a tried and true, regulated 600+w Power Supply.
Works Well

Pros: Great value, great fit and finish. Single connector to MB header make it a cinch to install.
Cons: None
Best Value Going, Great case!

Pros: VERY nice finish, the Gloss black is sexy. The internal Space is nice, Like the Hidden 3.5" bay for adding a card reader or the like. Power supply is very quiet. Lightweight.
Cons: Only 1 3.5 Internal Bay.
