Whoa!

Scythe Slip Stream Kaze Maru2 140 series SM1425SL12M 140mm Case Fan
Scythe Slip Stream Kaze Maru2 140 series SM1425SL12M 140mm Case Fan

Pros: First off, kudos to Newegg... I ordered two of these Wednesday, cheapo shipping, and here they are, Friday at 1300... Huge fans to be able to use on normal 120 mounts, can push lots of air with less noise than an equivalent 120. Just tried it out, very very quiet, TONS of airflow... I am stoked.

Cons: I knew it would be an issue, so I ordered some normal 120s also, but I can't put these into the side door of my CM Stacker case... /sadface Not really a con, but figured I would mention it anyways.

Overall Review: Truly qualifies for "Other Thoughts"... Fits perfectly in the tupperware I brought lunch to work in...

WOAH SMALL

Kingston 4GB DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model KVR1333D3N9/4G

Pros: I got this ram for a build I am doing at work, needed to be fairly high performance, but on a tight budget, and I ordered these due to them being DDR3, 4Gb, good reviews, and other normal specs. I DID NOT notice they are low profile. Had to double check to make sure I got what I ordered and that it would work. Works wonderfully, fit the budget, etc!

Cons: They gave me a scare. Shame on you, Kingston!

Overall Review: i7 - 3.2GHz 4 core, 3x4Gb RAM (this product), re-purposed Raptor300, 2TB Caviar Green, XFX 5770, 650w PSU, GMC Toast case. Newegg should carry the GMC cases, they really are quite nice....

Excellent

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card 100283-2L

Pros: Blistering speed. Small size. Runs cool. Upgraded from a 512Mb 9800GTX+, significant upgrade here, regardless of Tomshardware rating it just a step above. Overclocks very well, AND still stays cool. ATI Overdrive autotuned it to 945/1425 and it still sits at about 45-48c at most. It's no 5870 even overclocked, but for 160 bones, it's a great card.

Cons: The only "con" I can think of is that it will not fit into my wife's computer. Stupid upside-down mobo. That does not merit loss of an egg.

Overall Review: This card is awesome. My only other thoughts are "Stop drooling" and "I wonder what's for dinner..." If you are on a budget, and need some semi-serious graphics power, get it. You will not regret it.
