Pros: I'm using this in an ASRock DeskMini A300W running a hypervisor (XCP-ng). I went this route because this cpu is cheap, and runs what I need without issue! This is great - It's cheap, and runs all of my VM's without issue. It's not a powerhouse, but for $99 vs $149, this is worth it to me.

Overall Review: This CPU is great - I would buy it again for a small, lightweight rig. The included cooler is great, it's lower power, has a good boost, and just works - I can't recommend these cheap APU's more. I'm constantly using cheap CPU's with iGPU's (such as the lower-end i3) but I think I'll be using these going forward!

Pros: A great, small form factor - It's got phenomenal build quality for the price (note - for the price!) and it includes all of the nonsense that nickel and dime you - cooler, case, motherboard, PSU... this is ALL included for the price, and it has great I/O. Did I mention it's a great price?

Overall Review: I love this thing - it's small, quiet, the integrated cooler works well, and the PSU is great. Additionally, it's got a great amount of IO, is lightweight, and will be used by me in the future. I frequently build Mini-ITX systems, but this will be taking the role of that going forward. I love it!

Overall Review: I would definitely suggest this - While it's faster than a normal SATA drive, it's quite slow performance wise compared to normal NVME drives. Either way - for the price, the capacity, form factor - this can't be beat. I'm using it in a small rig with a lot of VM's that I run and it's an absolute rockstar.

Pros: I originally purchased this exact same ram over 2 years ago for my build... I've had 2 gigs, and when it came up in a Shellshocker, I couldn't resist -- twenty nine bucks with free shipping? hells yeah! I've got both overclocked to 996MHz @ 1.8v, great ram, very stable

Cons: uhhh..... the top of the ram, the "fins"...are sharp? unless you plan on shaving with them, shouldn't be a problem ;)

Overall Review: My system: Intel Core 2 Duo E5400 @ 2.61GHz stable for 2+ years Thermaltake Armor VA8000BWS eVGA 9600gt Superclocked Antec Earthwatts 430w PSU 2 of these sticks of ram GIGABYTE P35-DS3L -- Great motherboard.. diamond in the rough.. POSTS every time

Pros: Okay, first off, to clarify: I don't have this EXACT PSU. I have an older Earthwatt 430w PSU from Antec. Essentially the same thing -- Since it's not listed, I decided to review on this. Anyways, I've had mine running for more than 2 years on my computer. It's almost never turned off, I run my PC hard, and it runs cool and does everything without stuttering. I'm only going to buy Antec power supplies in the future -- that's how good this one is. It's efficient, almost never heats up, and best of all -- It's quiet. The cords are long; there are PLENTY of connectors, anything you could ever need. It powers my machine w/ no problems: Core 2 Duo E4500 2.2ghz OC'd to 2.61 for 2 years. eVGA 9600gt SuperClocked @ 733core, 954mem. DVD-RW x 2 Western Digital 500gb Black x 4 No problems whatsoever.

Cons: It's... heavy? Wait - I forgot. That's a sign of a good power supply. Oh, and the cords are long. This may be a pro or con for some, for me it was a pro, but I figured I could list it here just to clarify.

Overall Review: Don't go overkill on your PSU... I was a tad skeptical of whether or not this would reliably power everything I have, but sure enough, it did it without any fuss. Buy for what you need, save money, etc.

Pros: Chose this CPU as it was cheap, and high quality(it is INTEL after all ;) ) ha, but anyways.. I've always had good luck with building clients computers with the C2D Line, and my client wanted a roughly cheap computer that would exceed his expectations for games. So this was the processor I chose, and I don't regret it. On stock cooling, I got it from 2.8GHz, to 3.0GHz, temp didn't change. Running at 33C w/ some AS7 paste.

Cons: Stock cooler cools well, but not under load. Also, is quite the pain in the... to get in.. I've always hated it, lol. My client was looking at it, as I explained what everythings function was/is, and he broke a pin. How? I don't know.. but we stuck it on with 4, was VERY difficult to manage in, and it still runs @ 33c idle and about 44c load... currently waiting on my AC Freezer 7 Pro from newegg.

Overall Review: Very nice processor. Only thing that I would like to have on it now is Virtualization Technology. In any other day and age, I would think, "why do you need this?" Windows 7 will. Since it has an XP Virtualization section, it benefits a lot if you intend on using XP a lot. Oh, and the CPU i built him is quite functional, yet cheap, roughly $550. Case: XION 403 green. Cheap, but works quite well :O Looks decent, too ;) Processor: This. Memory: 2x2gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800. 5-5-5-12. Also quite reliable, Corsair has yet to fail me =) Motherboard: Originally a Gigabyte P31 that was DOA. Switched to a Gigabyte G41. PSU: Rosewill 500w HD: Western Digital(yet to fail me also :D) 320gb, 7200rpm SATAII. 16mb Cache. Video Card: EVGA 9600gt. Power Savers. (PHENOMENAL Performance. Same card I has, just runs off of the power straight from the motherboard.) Keyboard: Saitek Eclipse II Works quite well, in WEI in Vista Ultimate, it gets 5.9. Good cheap budget build. Quite versatile and p
