Great product

PC Power and Cooling Silencer 470 ATX 470 W ATX12V Ver 2.2 Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: This unit's got tons of connections. 5 4 pin molex and 3 Sata and 1 PCI-e. Also comes with a splitter to turn a 4 pin molex to get 2 more SATA.

Cons: Only one I can think of is that the rubber guard where you plug in the power line is a tad big. Took me 10 min to position it right to fit my case. More like a case problem than a PSU problem.

Overall Review: Great for it's value. Good for mid-rate rigs. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone doing sli or crossfire due to the low wattage but great if you are just running 1 Vidcard.

Pros: Cheap card

Cons: Again...Cheap card, you get what you paid for.

Overall Review: I got the card and everything worked perfectly at first. Until I tried to game with it. Graphics jumbled up. I updated my drivers and graphics were still jumbled. I underclocked it to death and still messed up graphics. Just rma'd it. Hope this was just a defective card.

Garbage

SMC LG-ERICSSON SMCWBR14-G2 54Mbps Wireless Broadband Router IEEE 802.3/3u, IEEE 802.11b/g

Pros: Looks pretty stylish Decent if you aren't running torrents or games Decent GUI

Cons: Can't handle much simultaneous connections. If you use bittorrent or whatever you'll find yourself power cycling this router often. Looking at the NAT mapping tables, the router locks up at around 200 connections. Firmware updates are useless. Only 2MB flash so if you want to install a custom firmware...good luck. Runs pretty hot.
