Pros: Easy installation. Quiet device. Burns a variety of formats. Never had a problem with this drive. Works well with both motherboards I used it with.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I've always had NO problems with Plextor products (from back in the day when they were known for their SCSI devices). Keep coming back for more of their products with each build or recommendation. I used this drive with a variety of operating systems, and it always works great: Windows (xp, w7), Linux (fedora, debian), *BSD (NetBSD, FreeBSD). Just a great product!

Pros: Nicely laid out motherboard, easy to install in my case, preforms decently with my Phenom II x4 955BE. 32 GB of RAM capability make it ideal for my intended purpose (multiple VMs & software development on Linux).

Cons: Based on another post here, it appears the 3.0 version of this motherboard throttles the fx-8320 and fx-8350 CPU performance, my planned upgrade path. It came with the only released BIOS available for the product, though there is a BETA version posted on Gigabyte's web site. I'D SUGGEST YOU STAY AWAY from this product if you plan on installing an AMD FX-8320 or FX-8350 processor until the performance throttling issue is FIXED!! I'm not pleased at all with this board because of this unmentioned performance issue!! I wan't an exchange for a motherboard that will NOT throttle FX based CPU performance!!

Overall Review: This board works well with many versions of Linux. Interesting thing though: Debian based releases don't recognize the USB2.0 ports, while Fedora based releases (specifically 17 & 18) don't exhibit this problem. This includes Fedora 17, 18, and "Qubes OS", a Fedora 17 based distribution. Have it loaded with 32GB of RAM and have used it with both an Nvidia GTX 460 and a ASUS HD-7750. Both video cards play nicely with Linux if you have the appropriate drivers available duirng install. BIG PROBLEM: Gigabyte BIOS, by default, disables IOMMU out of the box AND when "Optimum Defaults" are loaded. What the?!! Why would a key feature of AMD multi-core CPUs be disabled by default?! You can manually set it to the "default" value of "ON", but why would it be disabled upon delivery? Not happy about that in the least. Last thought: The on-board network card is not supported by several distributions. Additional firmware is required. Fortunately I have an Intel Ethernet PRO 10/100/1000 dual port NIC that works great with any Linux distribution I've tried thus far. Purchased on 1/13/13, Have only a few more days to address this and I WILL be contacting Newegg!

Pros: Excellent performance in both Intel and AMD systems. Never any memory errors despite running memory tests for days on end.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I've used this memory in both i5/i7 builds as well as AMD AM3/AM3+ systems and G.Skill never lets me down. Great packaging. Fits snugly in memory slots. No physical connection issues. And, most importantly, no memory errors. Frequently Newegg has a memory sale going and I always look for G.Skill products because of their value and dependability. This particular purchase (in January ... I have G.Skill memory from 3 years back) went into an AMD AM3+ build to run Linux and NetBSD. Never a dissapointment. No RMAs, no returns ... just great performance for your money.

Pros: Good thermal transfer. Plenty in container, so you can use it for multiple builds. Has a reputation to give lower CPU temperatures (mentioned in other reviews). It works, it's affordable, and you can change your CPU fan a few times on one container of the stuff. What's not to like?

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I buy this stuff with every build. It is a good value and keeps my CPUs cool. Same result for both air and water cooled CPU cooling solutions.

Pros: Nice fan design. Packaging is great. Lots of accessories included for mounting to various opening sizes.

Cons: Not really a 140mm fan. When shopping on Newegg for this item, I selected the "140mm" filter. Expected to find ONLY 140mm fans. Nope! This little jewel pops up as a 140mm fan when it is ACTUALLY 120mm. Some adapters from Noctuna allow you to mount it to 140mm mount points. But is certainly NOT a 140mm fan. I bought it here and was surprised to receive a 120mm fan. Hey Newegg! You got any 100mm fans with adapters for 140mm mounting? Why not put them in the 140mm filter too!? Absolutely stupid marketing ploy. A 140mm fan is supposed to BE a 140mm fan!!

Overall Review: The hardware to mount this fan is very complete. It has screws and soft rubberized mounts included so as to minize vibration transferred to the case. Seems to run nicely once properly installed and moves air decently. I have a total of 4 fans in my Fractal Design R4. This fan is my exhaust exit fan, facing the rear of the case. Otherwise I have 1x120mm fan attached to my water cooling radiator and 2x140mm fans in the front of the case pushing air in across the HDDs. Point being, I can't say this fan is great sound wise because there are 3 other fans in the case that are contributing to the noise level. I'm sure it is quiet. Hey, I could replace all my fans for these Noctuna NF-P14's and REDUCE the fan size at the front of the case! (Remember .. they are 120mm fans, not 140mm!). Okay. Enough complaining. Two eggs off for shoddy marketing practices and the fact that is NOT actually a 140mm fan.

Pros: Great craftsmanship. Great specs. Works flawlessly. And when they go on sale, here at Newegg, it just gets better. Lots of modular power connectors included. And mounting hardware comes with it as well.

Cons: None. Well, they could spend a bit less money on the packaging presentation and pass the savings on to the customer.

Overall Review: This is the 3rd Seasonic X650 power supply I've purchased, for three different builds, and I've been pleased with every one. No power glitches. No manufacturing defects. No system problems. They work very well and are a pleasure to install. Beautiful components are somewhat visible through the perforations. Connectors seat firmly and accurately at both ends. And they are long enough for every build I've put together (ATX MB, 1x Intel, 2x AMD). Fabulous product. Hope they go on sale again so I can buy a 4th for my NEXT build.
