Most Favorable Review

Intel is a good choice

Intel Pentium E2180 - Pentium Allendale Dual-Core 2.0 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E2180
Intel Pentium E2180 - Pentium Allendale Dual-Core 2.0 GHz LGA 775 65W Processor - BX80557E2180

Pros: This works very fast for the price, and worked very well with the asus mother board I chose ASUS P5N-EM HDMI LGA 775 NVIDIA GeForce 7100/nForce 630i HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Cons: If you are looking to build a high powered gaming computer this is not the chip for you.

Overall Review: I would highly recommend this chip.

Great Sound

Corsair Vengeance 1500 USB Connector Circumaural Dolby 7.1 Gaming Headset

Pros: It has delivered on all items I was looking for in a headset. I'm not a gamer but like to have something that sounds great and is comfortable to wear. Nice long cord and inline volume control.

Cons: Does not have a foam piece over the mic so the quality of your voice is diminished when speaking because of the sound of your breath in the mic as well.

Overall Review: Very comfortable to wear for a long time and really cuts the exterior sounds out. Corsair hit a home run on this one.

Lots of space

Seagate Momentus ST9750420AS 750GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive
Seagate Momentus ST9750420AS 750GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: I've installed this drive on two laptops with no trouble with them to date.

Cons: Is not an SSD drive.

Overall Review: Nice upgrade if you need the space.

Great Case

Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: This was the second Antec 300 I have bought and have had a great experience with them. It's great having the PSU unit on the bottom of the case.

Cons: Filtration for the side fan is not ideal and if you don't buy a separate filter then it lets in a lot of dust. What I have done is put tape over it to keep out the dust but if dust doesn't matter to you then there is no "Cons" for this case.

Overall Review: If you do a lot of modification and switching out of hardware all the time there is other cases that are better tooled for that. But if you just need a great case to make your build complete then this is a great case.

Solid running CPU

Pros: Was an upgrade from an old P4 and runs Windows 7 like a champ.

Cons: Not i5 or i7

Overall Review: A great budget upgrade that takes you to the next level in computing.
