Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 - Core 2 Quad Yorkfield Quad-Core 2.66 GHz LGA 775 95W Processor - BX80580Q8400

Pros: I wanted to give it a little time, but affter a month now I am still very happy with this CPU. It is crazy fast, easy to install, and fan was an easy install too.

Cons: None

Card is good - driver not so much

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100283-3L

Pros: Solid hardware, very fast and will run any game I have at max settings. Everything was great for first few months, but then....

Cons: For no reason at all my system started getting BSOD. Ran MemTest and hard drive test tools to rule out that as a problem. Replaced power supply to rule that out (was 5 years old and on the verge of under powered). Reinstalled OS to rule that out. Still got BSOD. Changed out video cards to my old HIS ATI HD 3600 and reinstalled drivers. Still got the BSOD. After some research and talking to AMD/ATI support (they wanted me to replace the MOBO) I have come to the conclusion that it is the ATI driver that is the issue, but they refuse to fix it. BSOD on atikmdag.sys

Overall Review: I suggest avoiding ATI/AMD video cards at all cost. They just are not the same quality as they once were. My system: Win7 Gigabyte MOBO Intel Core 2 Quad Cooler Master 750W G.Skill 2GB X4 2 1 TB HD Playing SC2, Half Life 2, FEAR 2, and YouTube all give BSOD.

It do what it do baby

Pros: Allows me to read all kinds of media cards and USB port. Works as it should on Win7 right from the box.

Cons: No problems to report.

Overall Review: Good product, good price, good shipping. Nothing special here to rate a 5th star. Just a solid product. Thanks NewEgg.

What a great little PC!!

Pros: I can now stream music, pictures, and videos from my desktop to my 40 inch HDTV. No more making a CD quickly to show some one a few pics or a video clip. This is really nice and I keep finding it to be more and more handy. I can see this PC becoming an "Tool I don't know how I ever lived without". WiFi, keyboard, and all components worked perfectly out of the box. No problems and no complaints.

Cons: None

Overall Review: If your on the fence about the purchase I would highly suggest you go with this PC. The keyboard/mouse really puts it over the top for me. Keyboard is a little bigger than those sliding phones. I have large fingers from manual labor and did not have any problems using it. Note: On my 40 inch HDTV I could not read any text in 1080p, but 720p works perfectly and to be honest you really can't tell a difference.
