Pros: Everything I wanted. Nothing I didn't want. SATA II, Vista 64 Home Premium installed without a hitch. Bios updated flawlessly. Provides a nice bit of future proofing for the dual-core to quad-core path.
Cons: None, Nada. Zip.
Overall Review: Got all this mostly from NewEgg - for my son (after ordering a pre-built gaming box over the net from some configurator companhy that didn't work and had to be returned). Configured with Intel 8600 cooled by a Thermaltake CL-P0310 120mm CPU Cooling Fan, 4GB OCZ RAM, EVGA Geforce 280, ThermalTake ToughPower 700 W PSU, Western Digital VelociRaptor 10,000 RPM SATA II drive, LG SATA DVD/CD. All packed into a CoolerMaster Cosmos S case. As mentioned above, Vista 64bit H.P. Plays Crisis 64 at full settings with 32 fps during action, 62 fps during non-action (like running around). I've built systems in the past, this was an exercise to prove to my nagging wife that ordering from a gaming machine builder company is a waste of time. My order from NewEgg combined with a little local shopping produced a box that had about the same or better specs at an $800 savings. Thanks NewEgg!
