Most Favorable Review

Very good bargain.

Cooler Master Hyper 101i - CPU Cooler with Dual Direct Contact Heatpipes - AMD Version
Cooler Master Hyper 101i - CPU Cooler with Dual Direct Contact Heatpipes - AMD Version

Pros: Very quiet, compact, sturdy, a decent am3 mounting bracket and thats not easy to find.

Cons: It didnt really lower my temps all that much my phenom 2 555 x4 runs at 51 degrees max in prime 96, which is not bad at all. but i expect adding a pull fan would make a big difference as it did with my hyper 212.

Overall Review: ITS A CUTE MINI 212!

ASUS M2N-SLI <GREEN> AM2 NVIDIA nForce 560 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard
ASUS M2N-SLI <GREEN> AM2 NVIDIA nForce 560 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: it was cheap and had all the connectors i needed with a decent layout

Cons: Where to begin. had this board for over a year now and its problem after problem. Usb issues, sound issues(driver conflicts and you cant use a headset because it cant receive and send sound) crashes, wont reboot after hibernate half the time the list goes on. Im glad im replacing this mobo. And certainly not with another asus product

Overall Review: 6400x2,550w rosewill psu, sata160g, 8800gts(g92), 4g ddr2800

a review from a non SSD fanboy

OCZ Agility 2 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-2AGTE120G
OCZ Agility 2 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-2AGTE120G

Pros: its of course fast. seems very stable and solidly constructed. boot times and everything else is faster. it speeds up basically everything you do on your computer. lets hope it lasts longer thens some of these reviews say. see other thoughts on whether to buy one or not.

Cons: A con for newegg not the drive. ITS SHIPPED IN AN ENVELOPE! i understand the durability of these is one of there biggest pros but come one! you pay so much and its shipped in an envelope.

Overall Review: i hadnt gotten a SSD until now because the cost. i thought 200 dollars would be a sweet spot for the performance people say you get from an SSD.although after picking up one of these for 200 i think it hasn't reached its sweet spot yet. It is most definitely fast and speed up your entire system but its not the component to end all i was expecting. i think once it gets between 100-150 that will be the sweet spot for 120 SSDs. although having said that i will include at least a system SSD driv in all performance computers i build now

pretty quick little guy

AMD Sempron 140 - Sempron Sargas Single-Core 2.7 GHz Socket AM3 45W Processor - SDX140HBGQBOX

Pros: pretty fast little guy runs super cool and uses little power.

Cons: unfortunately i couldnt unlock mine. but hey you never know thats always a crapshoot

Overall Review: would pick up for a htpc or media server something that you dont want using much juice and doesn't need super speeds.

Dropped 15 degrees from last cooler

Pros: went down about 15 degrees Celsius on idle and load from my freezer pro 7.

Cons: a fair amount loader then the freezer pro but still not unacceptably loud

Overall Review: would buy again and again.
