Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade

Pros: Solid and Stable

Cons: To many people claiming to have "High" tech knowledge and then spew nonsense. The person that claimed Windows 7 took 44 hours to install I would suggest that you upgrade your Commodore 64. There is obviously something wrong with your hardware

Overall Review: It is really getting old reading reviews from people who mark their tech level as "high" and then write bone headed reviews about how something doesn't work. Or that Windows 7 doesn't work with their old hardware. How can it be Microsoft's fault that the old hardware you have doesn't have 64-bit drivers??? Statements like like prove that your tech level is not high. Just because you can plug in peripherals and play a video game does not make you a tech

XFX Gift - Dirt3 Game Coupon
XFX Gift - Dirt3 Game Coupon

Pros: None

Cons: I registered to get my free game. It gives a message that they are all gone. I have contacted XFX and AMD it has been 3 weeks and still no response

Overall Review: I think 0 eggs needs to be an available rating

Still going strong

Corsair Force Series 3 2.5" 90GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CSSD-F90GB3-BK

Pros: Fast, Still going strong

Cons: None

Overall Review: I did have to replace this drive a few days after I got it, but it was my fault. At the time of purchase I didn't know about the issue with running Disk Defrag on SSD drives. It has been going strong for well over a year with heavy daily use.

Great Mobo

GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: There are a lot of bios options and features for OC'ing and memory settings It has been running stable since the day it arrived

Cons: I do not like the way the SATA connectors are set up.They are on the back facing away from the board. It's really only a problem when first installing the board Also the SB get extremely hot

Overall Review: would definitely recommend this board. Don't listen to the negative reviews about the RAM not running at the correct speed. Just because they don't know how to set it up does not mean there is something wrong with the board. It always amazes me when people say their Tech Knowledge is HIGH then bash the quality of the board because they don't know what they are doing

4GB for this price

CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5
CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-6400C5

Pros: Great Price, Great Ram I just added another 4GB the 1st 4GB is over 2 years old ...not a single problem

Cons: don't let the people who rate things poorly saying it was DOA concern you. I bet 90% of the DOA claims were actually their own fault

Athena Power CA-1015CR40 Black / Red SECC Steel MicroATX Desktop / MicroATX Slim Computer Case 400W Power Supply
Athena Power CA-1015CR40 Black / Red SECC Steel MicroATX Desktop / MicroATX Slim Computer Case 400W Power Supply

Pros: Compact, Included power supply, 2 quiet case fans included

Cons: I knew there would be some problems with the amount of space inside. But, one thing I didn't consider is the cd-rom bay. It hangs over the CPU fan. Only about a 1/2 inch but you actually have to push up on the drive to push it all the way in and it is in contact with the fan housing also can only put screws in one side of the cdrom as the other side is blocked by the hdd and floppy bays which are riveted and can't be removed

Overall Review: Also you have to mount the mother board inside the case as the panel you mount it to is riveted, no big deal really i just think it's easier to mount the board outside
