Great Proc

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 2.2 GHz Socket AM2 65W Processor - ADO4200CUBOX
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ - Athlon 64 X2 Windsor Dual-Core 2.2 GHz Socket AM2 65W Processor - ADO4200CUBOX

Pros: Dual core, multi task, the stock heatsink has been good enough and I like to game, cod2, company of heroes. I have not o/c it yet, it's fast enough for everything I do right out of the box.

Cons: none

Overall Review: Even though there is only a small copper square, an aftermarket heatsink is not needed. I may need one if I decide to o/c it.

Great headphones

Monster DNA On-Ear Headphones (Black)

Pros: Very good sound, great value, plug cable on either side of headphones.

Cons: Cables that come with it are very short, standard aux cable so you can get longer cables.

Overall Review: Cant take them off. My son has even stole them a few times. Loves them over his Skullcandy's.

Great Idea

GIGABYTE GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-NX76T256D-RH
GIGABYTE GeForce 7600GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Support Graphics Card GV-NX76T256D-RH

Pros: I admit I bought on the novelty, and noise reduction, of a fanless video card. I am using the Antec 900 case w/out the 120mm fan mounted on the side. This card is much cooler than any fan cooled card I have ever owned. I already have built another box using this card for a relative. I will buy more of these as needed, I do plan on running a SLI rig shortly.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Looks great in the case and it doesn't have a fan.

XMS good stuff

CORSAIR XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X1024A-6400
CORSAIR XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X1024A-6400

Pros: I now understand the XMS Memory is SLI approved.

Cons: none

Overall Review: fast memory, get some.

stable power

Antec True Power Trio TP3-650 650 W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply with Three 12V Rails
Antec True Power Trio TP3-650 650 W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply with Three 12V Rails

Pros: Power supply is stable. Keeps consistent power without fluctuations. Antec quality.

Cons: none

Overall Review: I used the Antec 900 case and all of the cords are long enough.

Ecellent Case

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case with Upgraded USB 3.0

Pros: Fit and finish, Smart design, best cooling case I have seen. I am able to use AMD's stock cpu heatsink with the case fans set on low. Using AMD Athlon 64x2 dual core 65w 4200+. Space for six hard drives.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I read the con section of other reviews and I am not having any of these issues. I am using Antec's 650w true power trio and the cables are more then long enough. I am using the Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard. My dvi hookup in not a problem as my vid card skips the first expansion plate. I am using the fanless Gigabyte GF 7600GT vid card. If you have a magnetic screwdriver the hard drives are easy to install. I was able to organize excess cable legnth along the backside of the hard drives for a smart clean appearance.
