Fast, QUIET, Best Deal Out There

SAMSUNG SpinPoint P Series HD160JJ 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive
SAMSUNG SpinPoint P Series HD160JJ 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive Bare Drive

Pros: My second Samsung SpinPoint drive and I must say I am again very impressed. Fast and quiet. And good price, too. Wish I had discovered Samsung drives earlier. The Fluid Dynamic bearing technology rules...

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Did I say QUIET?!

Overall Review: You won't miss SLI when dual-core GPUs start to appear...

Yep, Games Freeze Up On Me, Too...

EVGA 256-P2-N553-AX GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card
EVGA 256-P2-N553-AX GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card

Pros: Fast. Good bang for the buck.

Cons: Just like others have said, I've also experienced the occasional mysterious 15-20 sec freeze up. Happens in all my games. Hope that this is merely a driver issue. This is my first eVGA card. Hope it won't be my last...

Overall Review: The fan max-out 'noise' at startup is tolerable. During games it comes back but then with earphones in I don't notice it anyway. Not a big deal. The freeze up issue _IS_ a big deal, however. Not fun to lose your connection to a game server cuz your video card 'coughed'...
